You are Talion, Ranger of the Black Gate. For what seems like eons, you have guarded the entrance to Mordor, keeping watch over Sauron's undisturbed dwelling place with relative uneventfulness. But in the blink of an eye, everything you hold dear is snatched from your grasp. Your family, your friends — even your very life is taken from you in one fell swoop that leaves your soul desolate and filled with an eternal rage. Resurrected by an unforgiving spirit, you have one purpose to your life, one thing that keeps your heart pumping and your mind from giving in to the relentless grief — vengeance. Prepare yourself to embark on a dogged vendetta that calls upon you to fight your way through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit who compels you. This epic tale of revenge and redemption transforms you into the most feared force in the land — the Shadow of Mordor.Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron's return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. Based on the player's actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion's personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.
Game play and storyline are excellent. The open map is fun, ability to target enemies for future battles, and types of attacks are exceptionally fun. Only criticism is the storyline could be a bit more interesting and the side missions can become redundant. Overall great purchase and would definitely look forward to a sequel.

Bought these bulbs to use in conjunction with google home. We turn the lights (3 standing floor lamps) on using google home, which is paired to a Phillips adapter. Occasionally one light won't turn on. We're not sure it's an issue with the receiver in the bulb or the Phillips adapter. Asking google home the same request again, usually solves the problem. Solid buy overall.
Fitbit Charge Wireless Activity Tracker: Designed for all-day wear, this comfortable tracker lets you monitor and log your everyday routines, from your eating and sleeping habits to calories burned. Review your running stats and incoming calls at a glance without ever breaking stride.
Pros: Pretty accurate at tracking fitness and the app is easy to use.
Cons: The band is a major con for several reasons. 1. The band can be somewhat difficult to make sure it's snaps correctly. 2. The band easy gets snagged on long sleeves, jackets, etc and can come off easily. 3. The most egregious part is the durability of the band where it attaches to the tracker. The glue that holds it together wears VERY fast (within 6 months). Fitbit sent me a replacement, which then proceeded to wear out after 8 months of use. My wife's tracker did the same after just over a year. Since the warranty was up they wouldn't replace them again. Why spend $100 on an activity tracker that can't keep up/withstand the very activity it was "designed" for? I play a lot of football (soccer here in the US) so it don't understand the premature wear. It wasn't like I was power lifting, bull riding, doing MMA.

Looks nice, has a good feel to it, and the cover is flexible. Unfortunately it pops out easy and doesn't offer great protection. Don't expect it to last more than a year.
