Enjoyed this flick. James Mcalvoy did a great job with around 7 personalities played in the movie. I love that Unbreakable is tied to this movie, makes the upcoming sequel that much better.

Really well made, powerful movie. Amy Adams & Jeremy Renner do a good job and the plot is interesting until the end.

Bring out the bass in your music with these Bluetooth-enabled Sony over-ear headphones. Its digital noise-canceling technology lets you shut out external sounds for immersive listening, and you can play tunes wirelessly for up to 22 hours. The soft ear pads on these Sony over-ear headphones provide comfort during long listening sessions.

Great sounding, big & heavy
on March 26, 2017
Posted by: badradio
from ca
After using these headphones for several days, I have to say that they are not meant for someone like me, unfortunately. Having used Bose headphones before, I was not expecting such a cumbersome experience.
First the positive - great sound! I tested these with my phone, laptop and then plugged in (non bt) to my ps4 controller. When using Bluetooth (bt), you can use the bass boost feature with the other controls like fast forward and such. Honestly, the sound was great with bass boost on or off, which is nice. With the headphones plugged in, I couldn't get some controls to work, but the sound was still top shelf.
There were issues however aside from the size of the headphones. For some reason, my Galaxy s7e could not connect to these via bt and had to use nfc to get it to recognize the BT to connect to my phone. Weird! Spent an hour before this worked, but connected to my win 10.1HP laptop immediately.
I used these for a phone call once and while no complaints on the sound, the controls were difficult to use. Probably gets easier to use over time however.
I also used the suggested app and was given different sound options like "arena" or "theatre" to give the experience some different flavor, nice touch.
So while the sound and some options are nice to have, the biggest negative is the big size of the headphones. They feel on the ear and not over the ear, which ends up pinching my earlobes causing soreness. Basically have to take them off after 20 minutes. Compared to Bose which are very light when pressed against my dome.
With how I am, these simply don't work for me, but I am still rating these as recommended as I know some will no doubt love these. I hope Sony make improvements on the size and weight going forward.

Take the best parts of Far Cry, Assassin's Creed and even TLOU + an interesting story= one of the best games of 2017.
With upgrades for bows, outfits and abilities, the game takes you all the way to the end of the story with lots more to do with side missions.
The graphics on the PS4 pro looks mighty nice, probably the best so far. Highly recommended.

Survive in an incredibly creepy planation mansion in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Photorealistic gaming has been taken to a new level for a terrifyingly tense atmosphere that's up close and personal, thanks to compatibility with Sony's PlayStation VR. White-knuckle gameplay and revamped mechanics ensure that Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is one game you cannot miss.

Had serious doubts after playing the demo, but this is one of the best games of 2017. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to play with VR.
Recently got the Platinum trophy and didn't feel like it was a slow time doing it either. While I miss the original look of RE, this 1rst person view is very intense. Next time, I hope for a choice of 3rd or 1rst person view. Oh and great teeth all around in this game. Made me want to brush my teeth.

Solid, thin monitor
on October 29, 2016
Posted by: badradio
from ca
A very decent 23" monitor by HP. I am currently using it with a HP Wave desktop via HDMI. This specific monitor is a 1080P monitor that also works with anything that accepts HDMI or VGA. Also a 7ms response time is great for when I plug my XB1s or PS4 (soon to be PS4 Pro) into it as well. I believe the resolution can go higher however.
Not needed, but I wish monitors would come with 2 HDMI ports for option desktop/gaming set up. To use the VGA port however, I will need to get an adapter for around $10 on Amazon if the need becomes too much as the Wave does not have a VGA port (wish HP would of thought ahead since this is meant for a PC then anything else, right?)
Overall, a very good monitor, only marked down for not being advertised as a 1440P monitor for more gaming, and for having a VGA port instead of 2 HDMI for modern needs. Very thin, and good screen image. Very pleased.

Compact, unique desktop
on October 23, 2016
Posted by: badradio
from ca
First things first, yes this HP Wave desktop does look like a shelf speaker. Technically, you wouldn't be too far off from that guess. The HP Wave has the top opened up with a speaker grill underneath that holds very good sound, provided by B&O SOUND.
Now, normally desktops do not come with speakers, let alone really good speakers like the one on this desktop.
Due to the cool design (components look more vertically placed inside the desktop, freeing up a ton of space, and can easily sit on the actual desk, instead of out of sight to collect dust. No more connecting extra speakers with possibly more wires. Really convenient! I can see college students using this for school work in a small dorm, for example.
This PC has an i3 processor and 8GB of RAM with a integrated graphics card. With that said, this PC is NOT meant for gaming outside of the very basic of games.
Now, the only negative thus far that I have encountered would be the keyboard and the mouse. Both are wireless and worked immediately with the desktop, which was nice. The bad side to the keyboard is it's small and the keys are very close to each other, increasing the typos. This is especially true for the ten key. There is the right arrow and a period to the left and right of the zero button on the ten key. Maybe its just me, but is very uncomfortable to use, I most likely will end up buying a separate keyboard in the future. This is most likely just me as I normally use ergonomic keyboards at my job.
The mouse, as stated previously is also wireless. Very easy to use of course, but is not very smooth on the hand as it is cut slightly sharp. Was the very first thing I noticed when I held & used it out of the box.
There are 2 options available for this desktop, this being the lower end, but that is fine to me. A PC this small is not meant more for then basic computing with some multitasking. My child will be able to use this desktop for school going forward and learning how to touch type and father in law can check his email.
I recommend this to anyone looking for a desktop experience with not alot of room to spare. Design is top notch for me, much better than the default looking box we usually get. The price is under $600 which seems OK for me considering the positives vs. a normal built desktop. My final score is 4.5 / 5.

Couldn't get out of the gate
on September 25, 2016
Posted by: badradio
I'm not sure the ultimate issue here, but could not get past installation. Currently use a Nighthawk X8 router and assumed switching over to a Netgear Orbi would be painless. Due to IP address issues, it was not. My initial plug in and play moment was able to change the name and pw on the unit, and not much else.
Went so far as resetting the entire Orbi, but never was able to work. I reset all pieces involved multiple times to no avail. Instead of routerlogin.net, now it's Orbilogin.net, which also never materialized once, to fix any issues with a GUI, but no.
Will try again in the future and maybe update then.

Amazing, thorough review
January 6, 2012
DROID is a trademark that Verizon paid Lucas Arts to use. Droid is not a company and not one that you should be addressing your complaints to, HTC is.
You should do more research into the products you use before writing about a phone you obviously do not know how to use.

The game itself is great and enjoyable.
The activitation requirement to have Steam is unacceptable and ridiculous. If you could activate without requiring an internet and steam connection, this would be a much more acceptable scenario.

I've read reviews elsewhere that complain that this build runs really loud. Have you experienced that with yours?
I may not have the best of hearing, but the Wave is literally less then 2 ft from me and I can barely hear it humming. Very quiet!
