It's a Sharknado Movie...
on October 22, 2015
Posted by: JimmyB
Verified Purchase:Yes
You either know what you are getting into (in which you can have fun), or you think this is a "real" movie. It's made like a real movie, but it is one of those, "So bad it's good," kind of movies. Unfortunately, it's not as "bad" as it should be. There are cameo's galore, bad cgi-sharks, horrible acting, and many groan-inducing scenes and shots (including a horrendous slow-motion shot that shows our scantily clad heroes get out of the water shot--even though they were fully clothed in pilot gear just two seconds earlier). Still, if you are willing to swallow your pride, and you can't wait for Riff-Trax to get ahold of it (hopefully next summer), you can have fun. But it's incredibly stupid fun, and not as much fun as I'd hoped.

A fun romp through the Star Wars Universe
on October 22, 2015
Posted by: JimmyB
Verified Purchase:Yes
An expensive one, too, if you tally up all of the additional purchases, but this is such a blast for my kids, it's proven to be well worth the price. This is basically an eight-hour adventure game with fun shooting (and it's Star Wars), but the real draw is the incredible Sandbox mode that allows you to add all of your other Infinity characters to create a wonderful mix-up of action and level building. There will be more additions to the sandbox (including a Marvel beat-em-up arena that looks like a blast). Here's the deal--if your kids (or yourself) are just going to play the "campaign" levels, you may want to wait for this to drop in price. However, if you want to be creative and enjoy some light level building, go get this now!

It's Sleepy Hollow
on September 19, 2015
Posted by: JimmyB
Verified Purchase:Yes
Season one was a surprise hit, and I really enjoyed the update of the legend into 21st century life. Season two finds itself in a nice routine, picking up the pieces of the season finale last year. This season is not as good as the first, but the characters (the interaction between Ichabod and Abbie is still out-of-this-world fantastic) and the occasional twists are worth the involvement. Recommended if you are a fan of the series.

Brutal, hard, and fun
on September 19, 2015
Posted by: JimmyB
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a very hard game (along the style of a Dark Souls game, if you are familiar), where it is expected that you will die, a lot, before you complete the game. This is a third person perspective game in which you kill lots of monsters and enemies, gathering loot, leveling up weapons and supplies...and dying. If you are the type of person who just wants to run in and kill things quickly, this game is not for you. If you like to temper your action with strategic thinking and timing, then you will most likely love it. One of the best games of the year!

Return to form!

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you lost interest because the Brody story went off the rails, you need to come back. SPOILERS: Because Brody is now out of the picture, we now follow Carrie overseas as she heads overseas to (ultimately) investigate a terrorist bombing. To say more would ruin this season, but it is DEFINITELY worth the journey. END SPOILERS
If you loved the espionage of season 1, putting together the pieces of what may or may not have been a turned soldier, you need to come back and watch. Just an excellent season!

Should have been better, but isn't terrible
on September 16, 2015
Posted by: JimmyB
Verified Purchase:Yes
Set in the city Gotham, this series deals with the rise of Jim Gordon through the police department, and the various characters (both good and bad) that become intertwined. This first season focuses on the one who will become the Penguin (no one in this series is who they will be, but you will be introduced to Catwoman, the Riddler, Penguin, and of course, Batman) and his rise to "power". To say more would be to spoil some of the events of the season. It sounds like it should be awesome, and it should have been, but somewhere between the concept and the screen it became boring. There are episodes in this season that are a chore to watch. Granted, there are some payoffs, but it is painful to get there at times. Tone down your expectations, and you might enjoy this weekly "procedural" crime story. Hoping that Season 2 becomes what it should have been from the start.

An over-the-top apocalyptic chase movie!
on September 12, 2015
Posted by: JimmyB
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is pretty much one giant chase, with about three small breaks for exposition and character building. Set in an apocalyptic future where gas is a high commodity, Max (who isn't really the star of the movie) reluctantly helps several young women escape from a tyrannical overlord. You do not need to have seen any of the previous movies to enjoy this one. If you like incredible action sequences, amazing car stunts, and great performances across the board, pick this one up! For those who care about 3-D, the picture quality is great. For me, the extra layer is worth the extra couple of bucks (you need a 3D TV and Blu-ray player for it to work). The 3D effects are not distracting, and at times add to the tension. It's a lovely day to watch this movie!

The barren landscape stretches out before you, seemingly unending with no signs of life and no relief from the relentless sun. As you navigate your battering ram of a vehicle over the remnants of a long-abandoned highway, you contemplate this existence you call life. There is no mercy in this post-apocalyptic world and no solace — only the instinctual quest for survival and the cold comfort that is vengeance. You've become a lone warrior, a reluctant hero, but only because your choices were that or death. The only thing that gives you any hope is the thought of leaving this madness behind and finding peace at last in the storied Plains of Silence. You are Mad Max, and these are the end of times.Embark on a dangerous journey through the Wasteland that is this post-apocalyptic world on a quest to retrieve your Interceptor, which has been stolen by a deadly gang of marauders. Take on each foe with brutal moves and combos that are your only chance of beating the deranged bandits of the Wasteland. Scavenge the landscape for the scraps you need to craft and upgrade equipment, vehicles and weapons — your lifelines in this unforgiving setting. With the ability to construct the ultimate war vehicle by choosing from dozens of customizable parts and upgrade combinations and arming your vehicle with a slew of deadly weapons, you can annihilate enemy vehicles in dynamic, physics-based vehicular combat. As you explore the vast, open-world environment of the Wasteland, take on unique missions and side quests, eliminate eccentric bandits and battle savage gangs. There's only one thing to live for now — revenge.

Decent Open World Game with Good Car Combat
on September 5, 2015
Posted by: JimmyB
Verified Purchase:Yes
It is unfortunate that it released the same day as Metal Gear Solid, because Mad Max is fun in its own right. Think of Just Cause with great car combat. You can harpoon cars! The missions do get somewhat repetitive (especially in clearing out towers), but it still is a blast to pick up and play. If you aren't into the apocalyptic setting, stay away, but if you are okay with the over-the-top styles and violence, you will be in for a fun ride.

Kojima Productions ushers in a new era for the Metal Gear Solid V franchise with its newest chapter — Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain — which is set nine years after the fall of Mother Base and the other events in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. The game resumes the storyline in 1984 with the Cold War as the bleak, fear-inducing backdrop, which continues to shape an impending global crisis that potentially cannot be averted. After lying dead to the world in a near-decade-long coma, you finally awaken as Snake, a.k.a. Big Boss, filled with the thirst for revenge.Set off in pursuit of the shadow group, XOF, as Snake in The Phantom Pain, which features an open-world design, giving you ultimate tactical freedom in carrying out your missions and progressing through the game. Thanks to the Fox Engine, you can enjoy cutting-edge visual technology with photorealistic graphics and cinema-quality storytelling, making it feel as if you're truly part of the action. Delve into the dark nature of combat, exploring intense themes, such as the psychology of warfare and the resulting atrocities. Showcase your skills of stealth in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Just Get It!

Verified Purchase:Yes
A sprawling, third-person action-adventure game with so many different ways to play. I can't begin to stress how fun this game is, and all the ways you can complete missions (through stealth, run and gun, etc). There is a base-building aspect to it as well. There is just so much fun to have in this world, you owe it to yourself to pick it up!

In an age of Gods and men, the ex-Spartan warrior Kratos refuses to cede power to the deities of Olympus. Betrayed and enraged, Kratos is determined to wreak his vengeance on the callous Gods. Over the course of his quest, he will solve complex puzzles and face off against some of mythology's darkest and most dangerous creatures. But these will only whet his appetite for annihilation, for Kratos has a larger goal in mind: toppling the mighty Zeus, the ruler of the Gods, and destroying Olympus once and for all.Return to the brutal world of ancient Greek mythology in God of War III Remastered. Rebuilt for the PlayStation 4, this iteration of the legendary franchise immerses you in Kratos' vengeful quest with 1080p visuals running at 60 fps. The stunningly detailed graphics showcase realistic muscle striations, detailed facial expressions, and elevated levels of violence and gore. Experience unbelievable depth of scale, ranging from the glittering marble Mount Olympus halls to the desolate deserts of Tartarus, and immerse yourself in the detailed 3D worlds lit by dynamic lights and higher resolution for realistic visuals. Engage in brutal combat, solve intricate puzzles and more. Use deadly new weapons, such as the Cestus and more, so you can grapple with enemies and unleash powerful wall-to-ground attacks. Showcase your favorite moments and unbelievable moves with Photo mode, which lets you freeze, edit, and share images. Scale the heights of Mount Olympus Gaia to rain carnage on the Gods of the Greek pantheon, and achieve revenge against all those who have betrayed you in God of War III Remastered.

It's God of War 3, and not much else
on August 31, 2015
Posted by: JimmyB
Verified Purchase:Yes
It was already a pretty game, so the small graphical upgrade it gets is not that much better than it was on the PS3. However, if you haven't played it, definitely pick it up. The God of War series really defined a genre when first introduced on the PS2-- a fun, action-packed 3d beat-em-up with platforming and very lite RPG elements (upgrading weapons). There are also Quick Time Events that are used for finishers on enemies, and especially on bosses, so if you have difficulties with quick reflections, you may want to stay away. If you've played it before, there's really nothing new here (except the ability to stop and take pictures of gameplay). Still, it's a great game and a fitting conclusion to the series.

I'm not off to a good start. The on light is on, the blue wireless light is blinking. Now I am to select a language, and it won't do anything. Help please.
Sounds like a defective printer. If you aren't able to get the touchscreen to work on the printer, you need to get it replaced. Contact HP or return it.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 stays offline. Can't get it to print. I have Windows 10.
Unplug it for 30 seconds. Plug it back in. That should "reset" the printer. You may also want to make sure that your printer and computer are on the same network (I find this happens a lot with my laptop, especially in connecting between my regular Xfinity connection and the Public Xfinity connection). If your computer and printer are on different wireless networks, it will always show as "offline". If it will not connect after these two steps, you will probably need to contact HP. Hope that helps!
