Works as advertised.

Well, as the summary says, it works the way it's supposed to. The included cable is long enough to reach a night stand or table and the car adapter seems to work well also. The price is a bit high, but not as high (and functional) as the official Nintendo wall charger. I'd still recommend it, but look for any special pricing!

Making a good game even better!

OK, I'm not going to review the actual game since it's more than 6 years since it came out. I will, however, talk about my experience playing it on the Switch, having already played it originally on the PS3 and then on PC with all mods active. Graphically, of course, it will not even come close to the PS4, XboxOne and PC. It is almost closer to the Xbox 360 version with some washed out colors and blurry graphics. This is more noticeable if you are playing it on the TV. However, what makes this an outstanding port is the ability to play it anywhere on the Switch. I am putting more time into it now off-cradle than back when it was on PC. I had to travel and enjoyed the experience tremendously. I am even going for full completion -even with all the additional content! If you have a Switch and you are a fan of Skyrim, or never had the chance to play it before, I would highly recommend this iteration!

Definetely one of Miyazaki's best!

Princess Mononoke, with it's incredible visuals, mature subject matter, voice talent (especially in English) and musical score is, in my opinion, probably the best from Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. It is about a Prince that has to find out about a curse that affects him and the land and how to eradicate it. In his travels, he learns about humanity and what drives it. There is a lot of mature subject matter, mostly dealing with death, greed and compassion. He is joined by a wild girl raised in the forest. This story is largely based on classical Japanese folklore. However, it is not essential to know anything about that. It's an incredible journey that I recommend everyone to experience at least once.

What a classic!

It's been a while since I saw this title. Watching it in Blu-ray made me totally apreciate yet again this lovely anime. Miyazaki and team did an esplendid job in giving us a visually striking, imaginative, coming-of-age story that, while simple in premise, provides complex emotions. The story revolves on a teenage witch in training (and her black cat) looking to solidify her place in the world. The characters are relatable and easy to like and the subject matter is easy for the whole family. I highly recommend this movie!

Spirited Away is easily one of the best, if not THE best movie from Studio Ghibli. Without giving away too much, it's a about a little girl that has a incredible supernatural experience that at the end will help her mature in an unexpected way. It is loosely based on classic Japanese mythology, but presented in an easy-to-understand fashion. The voice talent is excellent -especially in english. The animation is top-notch and the music score is amazing. Highly recommended!

So hard to rate...
on September 15, 2017
Posted by: insomniak1
from Chicago, IL, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I decided to pick this product because I like baseball and I remember the "good old days" when RBI Baseball was a thing. So, because of the price, and the fact that I would be playing it on the go, I decided to pick it up. Well, I am having a hard time figuring out if I like it or not. On the one hand, it really doesn't look at that great. In fact, it looks barebones. The presentation is pretty much non-existent (no commentary...really??). The game mechanics are super basic. On the other hand, it is portable since I picked it up for the switch, the graphics are passable, I sometimes appreciate the lack of presentation and the mechanics harken to old-school RBI games. All of this makes a game playable in 20 minutes. So, in the end, if you're looking for a all-bells-and-whistles, high productions, simulation type of game, you'll be sorely disappointed. However, if you want a passable, quick and simple game on the go, a 1/2 or less the price than it's The Show cousin, I'd say you'll enjoy it (you must get it on the Switch, though!).

Just like the title of this review; this charger is very easy to set up and use. Simply connect the charger, place the 3DSXL (it works with regular 3DS also) in it and that's it. No clicking or snapping into place. That's it. Great for a night stand. I highly recommend it.

John Wick is a great movie that hearkens back to classic 90's action flicks that feature great fights, gun play, one-liners and an easy-to-follow plot. Grab some popcorn and watch it!

It's all about that bass...
on July 1, 2017
Posted by: insomniak1
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is going to be short and sweet. The MDR-XB50AP are excellent in-ear headphones. Although a bit heavy due to the 12mm drivers and over-sized bass port, they are actually comfortable and won't slip out easily. The cord is tangle-free and sturdy with a 90 angle connector. But that sound... That's where these babies shine. The mids are very distinguishable and the highs are very clear and not piercing. But it's all about that bass... OMG they boom. Although great for EDM or pop music, they are a pleasure to listen even for classical and live music. And for the price, they're a steal. Highly recommended -go get them!

Great coverage.

It has been a couple of weeks since I installed this wireless router. It took some fiddling getting it to run properly, but once it was working, it has been rather a good experience. The speed stays pretty high (I have 150Mbps) and have not noticed big dips below 50Mbps, even if I am streaming 1080P movies and having several devices connected or even downloading. Every once in a while I do notice some disconnects, but they happen on my mobile, so it's hard to say if it's my device or router. Still, I would recommend it based on the time I've had it so far.

Does this mouse have a battery included? Is the battery replaceable?
The mouse is rechargeable with a USB-C to USB-A cable, which is included. I don't think the battery is replaceable. Hope that helps!

Soundcore Life Tune XR are active noise cancelling headphones with Hi-Res Certified sound. The Multi-Mode noise cancellation technology detects and cancels out exterior noise.

Would this work well for mowing the yard? I listen to books and music while on the mower. If so, what setting would you recommend?
They do a decent job in ANC. My neighbor had the mower going and they did OK. I could still hear it but I was still able to appreciate the podcast. They may not be the best, but then again, we can't compare to headsets that are 4 times more expensive. Hope that helps!
