Simply put - the best DVD burner I have ever owned. I will keep this one until the day I die, or it spontaneously bursts into flames.Super easy to install, I don't know much about the inner workings of a PC, and it took me only half an hour to get everythign set up! It burns DVDs super fast - a full single-layer DVD for me takes only about 4 minutes, 30 seconds...I have NEVER seen it take a...

One of Studio GONZO's masterpieces, Last Exile is a must-see for anime fans and for those who are new to the anime genre as well. One of Japan's top anime studios, GONZO produces this spetacular anime that has garnered fans of all ages. A slightly retro, yet futuristic action/adventure anime, Last Exile portrays the lives of Claus and Lavie, two vanship pilots. During an aerial rac...

Simply put, the best expansion for the Everquest 2 series yet. The fourth expansion to date, Rise of Kunark simply blows away all of the others with its content, artwork, and lush music. From my own experience with this, I have to say I am extremely pleased with the changes made. Of course, the level cap increase to 80 made for some more stuff to do...but the simply massive amounts of quests ad...

Disgaea 2: Curse of memories is great for new players and fans of the series alike. Quirky semi-adult humor pervades through this amusing masterpiece. You play as Adell, the atypical hero who fights to protect his family against the horrible curse of Overlord Zenon. The Overlord, for some unknown reason, laid a terrible curse upon the world that is slowly turning everyone into mosters. Adell es...

Literally the MOST durable console I have ever owned. It even beats my Game Boy Color (that's another story). Here's my sad tale of the misfortune that occured to my Gamecube. Originally, my Gamecube was owned by my little brother. One day, he made the very, very bad mistake of backtalking our mother. She warned him once...and then to his surprise, she walked over to his Gamecube, grabb...

A wonderfully versatile laptop for anybody! I purchased mine at Wal-mart on Black Friday and it has not missed a step since. I am a small business owner, and as such, my laptop gets pushed to its limit pretty much every day. I must say, even with all the programs I run simultaneously, it never loses its speed. The Inspiron laptop comes with 2 GB RAM, a 60 GB hard drive, and 1.8 GHz.  E...

Shrek 3 is a wonderfully hilarious family movie, with stuff for both the kids and Mom and Dad. Shrek and his friends return for a movie that is just as funny, if not funnier, then the other two movies.  Fiona’s father, the king, has passed away and now the throne is supposed to pass on to Shrek. However, that’s the LAST thing Shrek wants. With the knowledge that there is on...

The final movie in the epic trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 did not quite live up to its predecessors in my opinion. POTC 3 seemed to attempt too much to be the grittiest one out of the bunch. While the swashbuckling action and innuendo kept me enthralled from start to finish, there were quite a few moments where I had thoughts of “Did they actually just do that?” In this mov...

Finally, Futurama fans can rejoice! Matt Groening, the mastermind behind the original series, gathered together the original cast and created a new movie for the beloved series. The movie’s plot revolves around the discovery that Fry has a tattoo on his posterior of the secret to time travel. Literally within the same day, they all fall for various Internet email scams, and the compan...

Finally, a new Guitar Hero game graces the consoles. As a side note, this is not actually the third game in the series. The third was Rocks the 80’s, making this the fourth title. The song list in this installment is more varied than the other games, and features more songs than any of the others. Play The Metal by Tenacious D, or Paint it Black by the Rolling Stones, just to name two ...

A wonderful addition to the Guitar Hero series, Guitar Hero 2: Rocks the 80s is a must have for any fan of 80's music. The game features songs such as Turning Japanese, What I Like About You, I Ran (So Far Away), and Only a Lad, just to name a few. The cover versions of the songs are spot-on, and a few are even performed by the original artists! Everyone's favorite characters also make ...

Simply put, one of the best in the best-selling Guitar Hero series. Guitar Hero 2 improves on the faults of its predecessor, and even adds some of it's own new content.The song variety is greatly improved, and features such favorites as Carry on My Wayward Son, Heart-Shaped Box, Sweet Child o' Mine, and Tattooed Love Boys.There's more than 55 songs to choose from and unlock, so you&...

The first Guitar Hero game swept the video game world by storm. Taking a lesson from the insanely popular Guitar Mania video games in Japan, Guitar Hero used a similar formula. Take a guitar controller, popular songs, and create a fast-paced rhythm game that's suitable for all ages! (When I say all ages...it's literal. YouTube is full of videos of children as young as 5 and adults as ol...

What was Brett Rattner thinking?! Personally, I have been looking forward to this movie as soon as I heard the script was in production. I tried to keep my expectations normal, so as to not overhype the movie to myself. Nothing could have prepared me for the mediocrity that was the third in what was a hilarious movie series. Spoilers are impossible with this movie, as anyone who has seen th...

As a family cramped up in a small apartment, smells sometimes can be quite a problem. Whether it is the general odor of my cat, or something caused by my toddler...I never know. I have tried many brands of carpet deodorizers, and this is my favorite so dar. The smell lasts longer than others, and the scents are MUCH more pleasing. Most deoderizers that I tried had an overpowering flowery fragra...

While my daughter loves these things, I can't say the same for myself. Simply put, these biscuits have ruined so many clothes of hers...it's quite scary. I had heard from a few parents that these were a great teething item, and since my daughter was starting to cut her first tooth, I decided to invest in a box of them to try out. They looked like a great item at first...cheap...packed w...

A few months ago, my husband and I signed up for BB&T Online Banking, so we could keep better track of our finances. At first, it was rather difficult to deal with, as transactions could take up to 2-3 days to show up, and deposits took 1-2 days to show as well. Recently, though, there was a major revamping, and the ease of use has improved by leaps and bounds. Now, transactions are display...

Finally, the newest Dance Dance Revolution game hits the United States on Playstation 2!As a devoted fan of the series, I not only pre-ordered it, but I was at the store the first hour they opened to pick up my copy. Afterwards though, I wished I hadn't wasted all that energy and time being excited over it. While this installment isn't bad, it's also not even close to being as good ...

When this first came out, I was truly excited, and expecting quite a lot from the new DDR game. Sadly, though, I soon joined the throng of disappointed fans. While some of the step charts are finally updated and given a new makeover, the main problem is the songlist. While fans did ask for more US songs...we did not expect to see an influz of Britney Spears and Hillary Duff songs on our beloved...

The absolute horror I went through playing this at a friend's house should never have to be experienced by anyone. Unfortunately for me, I had to play this with their daughter, who knew I liked the Dance Dance Revolution series.While this is a true DDR game...it has the basics..it is by far the most gimmicky and poorly done one yet. Every song is obviously aimed at the young teen age group,...
