A great movie that captured my imagination as a kid. While it doesn't capture my imagination as an adult, the cornfield/space suit/sick scenes no longer scare me. So the enjoyment level has remained pretty consistent.

I had a good time playing through the single player campaign. But the story line was pretty lame and artillery units tended to easily overpower any kind of defenses the CPU could muster.

What's great about it: Nice animation and historical cultures
What's not so great: Background single player story is weak, overpowered artillery
Lots of people use Band of Brothers as the measuring stick against which The Pacific should be considered. But they shouldn't as BOB and TP seem to have two different objectives: To show the relationship between "brothers" during a time of war, and the relationship between combatants and war itself, respectively. If you can appreciate it on its own merit, you'll find The Pacific is a great series.
The Queen of Blades no longer exists and Sarah Kerrigan has been restored to her human form. The Swarm is without a leader, scattered into several broods throughout the Koprulu sector. Yet all is not well. The artifact Jim Raynor used may have set Kerrigan free, but she still seems bent on assembling the Zerg broods, even without the terrible powers of the Queen of Blades. Is vengeance still on her mind? Or does Sarah Kerrigan have a new purpose? Will she be able to restore her strength and regain control of the Swarm? Or will Emperor Arcturus Mengsk finally be able to take out his weakened enemy?Help Kerrigan fight her way through an expansive single-player campaign in StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. Travel to some of the most dangerous worlds of the Koprulu sector, including Char, where a rogue queen is gathering eggs laid by the former Queen of Blades to hatch as her own, and Kaldir, a frozen planet that will require Kerrigan to adapt to the withering cold as she tries to find out what happened to her lost brood. Unlock new roles and acquire new abilities as you progress through the campaign. Mutate your zerg species in between missions to create a better, faster and stronger Swarm and explore new multiplayer maps with new units as you try to lead the Swarm to ultimate victory.
I enjoyed HOTS more than WOL overall. The unit upgrades and storyline developments were more interesting than they were in WOL. HOTS just isn't as challenging. Probably due to the wide range of accessible Zerg abilities and the strength of Kerrigan's almost ever-present character throughout the single player campaign.

What's great about it: Engaging gameplay and plot elements
What's not so great: The campaign isn't very difficult
The story line, scenery and production values are all fantastic. I hadn't seen the movie since I'd watched a VHS recording of it as a kid. What a huge difference. Sony did an amazing job scanning the film at 4K and releasing a flawless Blu Ray.

This ARRIS cable modem features Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for fast downstream and upstream data speeds. Six multicolor LEDs indicate the operational status and a color-coded rear panel ensures simple installation.
I'm very pleased with this modem and would buy again. It provides a consistently solid connection from Charter, my ISP. I have read that ISPs tend to upload their own customized firmware to the modem and that there can be major stability issues with Comcast.
Make sure to keep the modem in a pretty well ventilated location as it does put off some heat. You might also need to call your ISP and provide the MAC address listed on the bottom of the modem for a successful internet connection to be established.
