Great little trimmer for a clean cut look
on November 27, 2016
Posted by: ZacR
from Florida
I have been using this razor for a little over a month. I use it three times a week to keep my beard and mustache trimmed to a neat and clean height. I charge the razor to full and I'm able to get my three weekly shaves in without recharging. Cleanup is simple because the unit is waterproof. I just simply rinse the razor under the faucet after shaving. I have used the adjustable guards. The markings on the guards are very small and require precise positioning in order to lock in the correct shave length/height. Once it locks in, it feels solid and I am confident the guard won't slip or fall off. It attaches firmly and stays attached, the way it should. I have also utilized the edging tool to provide a clean cut finish to my trim. This is the first razor that has been able to do all the functions necessary to maintain the length and style of my facial hair. In the past it would require 2 or 3 different razors to produce the same result.

Technical controls, tons of content, still lacking
on November 21, 2016
Posted by: ZacR

RIDE 2 is a game for motorcycle enthusiasts without question. However, it's a game that is lacking in excitement for the material it covers. There's a great amount of content and production values, but not a whole lot of hook to the gameplay to keep you drawn in. While die-hard motorcycle racing enthusiasts may find some enjoyment, few else will be enticed.
Unfortunately the mediocre graphics, performance and the frustrating AI leave a bad aftertaste. Technically this is the second part in the Ride series still not impressive, so the game does not leave a memorable impression. For motor enthusiasts Ride 2 may be interesting, but new fans to the game will not be impressed. I recommend waiting, this game will drop in price quickly.

What's not to like? It's Gold!

Mario is coated in gold paint that gives him a metallic look. He is constructed of plastic, like all Amiibos and activates features on your Wii U. This Amiibo had been out of stock and unavailable for several months but thanks to Bestbuy, it appears the restock is vast. I still recommend grabbing one if you are considering. Who knows if they will be produced any longer after they run out especially since Nintendo's announcement of the new console.

Lot of fun but not sure how long will last
on October 25, 2016
Posted by: ZacR
from Florida
I was able to play this game at E3 2015.
I'm sure the final version will have minor differences but I will share my experience with the game.
For Honor is very much a cooperative effort with your four teammates. You will have a tough time if you try to go "5150" on your team members and take down the enemy on your own. During my match I played on the defenders as the second defender. There were three bases A, B and C that we were trying to take a hold of. The goal was to get to 1,000 points to make your enemy army feel defeated and give them the finale blow before winning the battle.
From my experience, you earn points the more bases you take over.
My defender teammates would call out bases they intended to take over or defend. You and your teammates can team up on an opponent, but it will leave you vulnerable. If no one is there to defend your base, another team can run to it and claim it. Similar to capture the flag type games. There are also perks you earn as you kill off your enemies. You can head over to your fellow soldiers and inspire them as a perk, heal yourself or kill a bunch of your enemies by using a catapult.
You do have the option to customize your character. There were different armor options and you can choose between playing as a male or female. There is no statistical benefit from playing as a male versus a female. They are equal matches. I choose to play as a male. I didn’t have much time to look through the armor options, but there were at least four I was able to choose from.
The main concerning aspect is whether the gameplay will get repetitive. While the excitement of battle stayed strong throughout the 25 minutes I played, I’m having a difficult time seeing the replay value in the game. The game could get boring once you settle into the game and the controls become second nature. Check out the trailer online for an example of graphics quality. I did find the graphics to be crisp and well polished.

Solid device, future in mind supporting MU-MIMO
on May 22, 2016
Posted by: ZacR
The Linksys MaxStream RE7000 has been reliable and improved my network strength for our family's internet needs.
Packaging is nothing spectacular but it doesn't really matter to me as long as it is secure. The extender was secure in the box and the box also contained a quick install guide and some basic info/documentation.
The extender was so simple to setup. Plugged it in, waited for the link indicator light to indicate that it's ready to pair with my router. I held down the WPS button on my router for 3 secs. After that, I did the same on the RE7000. Took around 30 seconds or less, the RE7000 light goes solid, indicating it is good to go. I was now halfway done. The 2.4GHz channel was connected to my router. To connect the 5GHz channel, I repeated the steps exactly, after another 30 seconds or so, I got the steady link light which now indicates that the 5GHz signal is connected to my router.
I was having issues with getting a good WiFi connection in my garage. I spend allot of my free time in there working on cars and I wanted to stream music, video w/o lag. My garage is literally as far as you can get from my router without leaving my house. . Now I have excellent reception and am able to use my devices with no problems.
Linksys offers a "spot finder" app for your phone and/or tablet. The app will actually help you find the best location to place the RE7000.
The RE7000 offers other next generation features that I haven't even tried yet. Things such as CrossBand technology, beamforming, etc..
I would highly recommend this product if you are experiencing lag, slow speeds or dead zones in your home.
I am very satisfied with how this device has performed and helped future proof my network with the Mu-MiMo technology. If you are not familiar with Mu-MiMo device technology, you should read up on it.

Awesome speed, reliability, streams 4k easily
on May 22, 2016
Posted by: ZacR
So far this router has delivered with reliability and impressive speeds. The LINKSYS EA9500 MAX-STREAM was packaged securely and arrived to me in perfect condition. The packaging was simple yet perfectly effective for ensuring the safe delivery of the router and accessories. Box contained Linksys AC5400, power adapter, ethernet cable, quick start guide and even a cd for those that still have an optical disc drive.
Setup was a breeze by utilizing my web browser and accessing the router's quick setup option via 192. I was up and running within minutes. After changing default password I proceeded to add 10+ different devices to the network. We have been running multiple devices at amazing speeds with no lag, drops or interruptions with the wi-fi signal. Streaming 4K doesn't seem like much of a challenge for this router. I have been throwing everything I can at it and it has out performed my expectations on each occasion. Another detail I was impressed with is the router's ability to maintain good-excellent strength at far distances. Our house is approximately 1500 sq ft. I am able to utilize the router's signal in every room with no issues streaming video, listening to music, etc.. The tri-band is capable of impressive speeds up to 5.3 Gbps. That is about twice the AC performance of a dual band. Linksys offers a solid 3 year warranty and 3 years of tech support.
I definitely feel that this router can handle all the devices I have now and should be somewhat future proof for a while. If you have several devices running on your network and have been experiencing lag or slow speeds, upgrading to the Linksys EA9500 would most likely solve those issues. It did for me and I would feel comfortable recommending this product.

Good Enough Sound Awesome Versatility
on April 25, 2016
Posted by: ZacR
from Florida
I purchased these headphones about 3 months ago. They are still working just as well as when first purchased. Sound is good but not amazing. I do enjoy the full sound and I find it to sufice for hearing the sides and behind especially in FPS. Bass feels and sounds full wih little to no distortion. great mid-range sound and not a very saturated treble. Good overall sound and well balanced. Also, I have used these with other items, not just my XB1. I actually even use these with my phone while I play a computer game with a friend. I have noticed that they mic is supposed to be somewhat flexible but no matter how much I try, I can't get it to the exact spot I want. It always goes back to the original start position, after a few minutes. Seems like the flexible mic arm is to stiff. That aside, I do think the mic functions properly and picks up my voice very well. When I game, people tell me the sound is crisp and clear. Occassionally they do complain about background noise. Unfortunately, it seems that the mic is very sensitive and doesn't filter the background noise very well, Overall, these are an acceptable quality headphone built with durability in mind. Hopefully they last for the durtion of my XB1.

A good start for VR gaming
on April 4, 2016
Posted by: ZacR
from Florida
I was fortunate enough to handle the actual finished product at Sony's GDC 2016 PS VR event. My review is based on that experience and I will attempt to share my experience.
PlayStation VR isn't a wild reimagining of the VR headset, but it's one of the most attractive efforts that i've seen so far...
The head-mounted display or "HMD" screams minimalism with a tag team of black and white matte plastic finishes. This completed version sported seven blue lights that the PlayStation Eye picks up to track your location and head movement. It's a pretty appealing and accurate head-tracking solution.
The design of the PlayStation VR's strap looks good and thankfully, also felt extremely comfortable.
Inside the headset is a 5.7-inch OLED screen with 1920 x RGB x 1080 resolution, which comes out to about to 960 x 1080 for each eye. The PlayStation VR offers a 100-degree field of view and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Thanks to the event at GDC 2016 I can now say that I've tried full-on games. The experiences varied in levity from casual, playroom escapades to hyper-intense combat and even a horror game for added measure. It did seem that the more intense the gameplay the more likely I was to start feeling nauseated. I experienced similar nausea effects with 3D initially. After sometime of use, I no longer felt the motion sickness effect and I'm hoping PS4 VR yields similar results eventually.
The games I played:
Morpheus Castle: Morpheus Castle is a smack-'em-up title that served to demonstrate how Move can be used so brilliantly with PlayStation VR. By pressing the back triggers you'll curl your fingers into a fist. Extend them rapidly and you'll throw a punch. Your target? A hanging dummy. Complete the task and you're rewarded with your first weapon, a sword. This was a smooth, seamless experience and gave me hope that the Star Wars game we've always dreamed of – the one where lightsaber duels are not only plausible, but an enjoyable part of the game – are within arm's reach.
RIGS: Mechanized Combat League: The best way to describe RIGS: Mechanized Combat League is by labeling it as a Titanfall-esque shooter imbued with the adrenaline and setting of a professional football game. During a brief demo, two friends and I took our RIGs into the arena to test the mettle of opponents in a three-on-three battle royale that had us blasting each other to bits, picking up the pieces and then jumping through a hoop in the middle of the map to put points on the board. It was fast-paced and highly detailed – probably a bit more than the PlayStation VR could handle. A limited field of view made it hard to see everything happening in my peripherals, and the fast-paced nature just about resulted in me tossing my cookies.
Those were the only full games I was able to experience at the show.
Sony has said to expect over 50 games to become available sometime this year for the system, some of which will be developed in-house, although many will come from indie and third-party studios.
Sony has also claimed there are over 200 developers with developer's kits who are actively working on titles to supplement the first 50 games, and that gamers could expect to see a good mix of genres when the unit ships.
Finally, and this is important, the PlayStation VR requires a PlayStation Camera to function, I highly recommend picking up this bundle. Some games also require a set of PlayStation Move controllers.
My conclusion:
For now it's an excellent, if not absolutely perfect, experience that will be fun to show off to friends or play with yourself, in half-hour increments. It might not be the best for long term use, but that's a decision we can visit again when the PlayStation VR comes out in October.

I bought this at Best Buy and a couple of days later I found another Eastwood, Blu ray set, at Best Buy for the same price but 20 of his movies. I would highly suggest you check online or at your local BB for the twenty movie set and gain an additional ten Eastwood movies for the same price.

Return to Liberty City and the cruel streets in this second take of Grand Theft Auto IV. Customizable cars let you design Niko Bellic's ride as he travels the city in search of his fortune and an escape from his past. Intricate maps and the hottest music available on the stereo make Grand Theft Auto IV a wild adventure.

awesome game but dont get it
By sjb1805 from NY
The game is really fun to play. My brother had a copy with a scratch on it and my xbox wouldnt read it. Finally after several attempts i went to best buy and bought my own. After using it for a day i got the red rings of death meaning my xbox has officially died. Its your choice to take the risk, will it work or destroy your 300 dollar console, assuming you have the cheap one

Does Best Buy sell any decks that can be linked/tied into my G6's engine oil gauge and/or external thermostat?

I've got a '06 Pontiac G6 with a stock deck. It's the same deck that was placed into many Grand Am, Grand Prix & G6 models. The deck has extreme difficulty reading CDs (burned as well as store bought). Unfortunately I checked with a dealership and they continue to offer the exact same stock deck and I'm assuming I'll have the same issues and they, of course, are unable to guarantee it working. The problem is this stock deck displays the outside temperature and as well as tracks your engine oil %. Does Best Buy offer anything like what I'm looking for?
Yes, you need to look at the double din head units they sell. Many have the capabilities to be integrated with your existing setup.

In purchasing this subwoofer what kind of amp would I need?

I haven't bought it yet, but I've decided I definitely want this sub I just don't know which amp to buy.
I would recommend rockford fosgate punch or kicker single or double channel amp. Minimum of 500 watts but the speaker can handle 1000+watts too. Both amps provide clean power and your sub will achieve deep clear bass with little to no distortion.
