I don't know about that, but there is one possible lifting by Soule that is likely not lifting and just coincidence.
Listen to the brass at 1:24;
Then listen to the opening chords that also recur througout;
Fucking annoying song, good for pissing people off. If Percy had a theme in the games, I always thought this would be it for some reason, probably because it sounds kind of pompous.
Noticed when I was learning Spiral Mountain a few weeks ago.

I've started modelling. All I've done beforehand was a low-poly wrench for Half-Life and a lame book.

Every now and then I run across products aimed at the gullible "audiofools" that pay huge amounts of money for hyped up regular products. Like $175 dollar fuses. $100 AC power cable. And this gem for only $3,000. https://www.audiogon...apple-valley-ca

That seems like one step above this on the legitimate scale
I suppose if you had a fanless system with no hard drive or nothing else spinning up....
or just get a good psu.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. To save writing it out again, from my own board;
At the time it was priced higher, so at least they've lowered the cost substantially since them - it was over £200 when I stumbled across it and was completely irrelevant to what I was looking for.

Perhaps, but I can't help thinking that it would probably be cheaper and much more effective to simply buy a good power supply in the first place, and if you did use a particularly bad PSU then noise will be the least of your problems in the long run. Seasonic / Corsair supplies at around 800 Watts cost about the same last time I looked. I get what you mean though, it does at least look appealing.
The thought also occurs to me as I write this that PCB fabrication is much cheaper now than it was a few years ago and it would probably also be cheaper to have one made if someone were so inclined. Still, not for me though, my noise problems come from a lack of earthed outlets and won't be solved by installing random capacitor banks on my computers bus.

I have to wonder if there is a chance of doing more harm than good with that filter card. Those caps are being used to bypass noise on the lines to ground. Fine. But could they possibly be shunting part of necessary signal pulses to ground also. Its possible if the wrong choices were made for cap values. Something in its favor is the fact they didn't just load it with all identical caps and values. So hopefully they took it into consideration. I still think its overkill. From my experience with recording over the years and total lack of anyone amateur or professional ever mentioning computer generated hash on their sound card it falls into the category of "audiofool" product.
On a similar note, I did manage to get the noise out of one of the cheap Chinese condenser mics that have flooded the market in the last year or so. Someone had traced it down to lack of flitering at a voltage regulator chip output. Breaking a trace on the board and soldering in a small resistor and cap was all it took.

That reminded me of a line from Married with Children. Peggy asked Al why most husbands die before their wives do. He replied "because they want to"

My mother was watching the original IT when I was 7, scared me shitless as I slept with the covers pulled over my head for like 3-4 months which is an eternity to a kid, lol. That was one scary movie. Frick'n giant kid eating demon spider that plays clown mindf*ck games. Damn he has some creepy movies.

I'm glad I haven't watched it when I was a kid, wouldn't want to become coulrophobic, though on the other hand I had plenty of fun when I watched it as a grownup. Are you afraid clowns, Robman?
That said, the trailer is giving me bad impression, I sure do hope the movie won't be full of jumpscare crap which is considered "horror" nowadays and not only that, this actually sounds like remake.
The original had nice trailer.
This one is even better.

Pfft, that ain't shit.
By far one of the most morbid kid's films I ever saw, especially looking back at it now, as an adult.
I think the key point is that the clown does not yell. With IT, he yells and laughs all the time whereas with Brave Little Toaster, the clown whispers calmly, thus making it clear he is calling the shots.
Incidentally I'm not scared of clowns at all, actually I like them seeing how they're basically just trolls in real life. They even employ troll physics on a regular basis.

Well, animation is a whole different level to be fair. With animation you have a lot of freedom, that was especially very true back then in 90s. With books the freedom is even bigger (that of course if you have good imagination).
IT is still pretty good movie and can scare people who don't know about typical scary clown stereotype. Heck, Pennywise looks like actual clown, just like in real life. Robman likely thought of clowns as some friendly and fun guys before that movie, I mean just look at that beginning scene with a girl which smiled when she saw Pennywise. He pretty much acts like actual clown too except he's also a creepy monster. Trailers had plenty of such moments.
Also, is it wrong if I find this scene quite amusing?
