Better than Samsung
on July 7, 2016
Posted by: skatardrummer
I bought a Samsung Gear S2 Classic and HATED it. It had a couple attractive features including built in mic and speaker, but that was where it ended. The manufacturer said they'd take it back, so I decided to try the Moto360 gen 2 instead.
The first thing I have noted so far is that the battery life of the Moto360 in the same conditions is more than double what I experienced with Samsung and it's MUCH less heavy. Sometimes the Samsung made my small wrists ache from the weight. In comparison, both have the change watch faces features. Both receive notifications. Here's my pros and cons to me for the Moto360 so far
Pros:
Battery Life
Watch faces
Bluetooth
Microphone
Uses Google
Connects to your phone's remembered wifi and can operate on a wifi connection
Can be interfaced with Android Sleep
Heart Monitor
Pedometer
Notifications
Google Maps
Super lightweight
Has play/pause button when listening to music or youtube on phone
Cons:
Does not have built in speaker. Need a earpiece to listen to phone or music
Slower processor than some other brands
To be honest, those are the only real complaints I have so far. I'd like to be able to use the watch to talk through or listen to music through without having to get an earpiece, but the other benefits of the watch for my needs are superior to some other watch brands I've looked into. I'm especially pleased that I can go through a whole day of work with it on idle and it doesn't die.

Get your smartphone on your wrist with the Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch. More than just the timepiece, it can access your emails and text messages and function as an activity tracker and heart rate monitor as well. Store up to 300 songs, and then use the Bluetooth on your Samson Gear S2 smartwatch to connect to your wireless headphones.

The worst
on July 6, 2016
Posted by: skatardrummer
I honestly don't understand why this has such good reviews. I don't think I've ever had to write such a bad review on tech. I have left this at factory settings because after my experience, installing any of the apps is a laughable idea. I've had this repaired twice in two months and it still hasn't fixed the fact that I'm having issues with frequent overheating and it dies in 6 hours flat on total standby. Not using it at all. I do use the official charger for it. I have put in complaint with the manufacturer but I can't talk about that or they'll take down my review. I own near a dozen samsung products and I've never been so disappointed as I am with this watch. My biggest regret is I'm stuck with it because I got the at&t one on a plan.

I will preface this by saying, take advantage of best buy's price match service on this product. Shopping around is good. Since I can't say anything about price.
But any rate, I've owned a few air purifiers. I've had the ionizer kinds where you wash the blade and the filter kinds with increasingly hard to find filters. What drew me to this unit is that it has a cleanable HEPA filter so I don't have to worry about trying to find filters as long as I take care of it.
I tried running this in both our living room and bedroom. I noticed a difference within the first couple hours. I've been battling a cold that's been moving to my chest and being inside around the pet dander hasn't been helping. I spent some time outside today while we let this thing go to work and the difference was amazing. I'm not sniffle free by any means, but I don't feel like I'm drowning trying to breathe. We clean our house well throughout the week and my husband cleaned our the vents and replaced our air filters. But this unit gave me the extra purification I needed. Dander and dust mites are a constant battle, no matter how clean the house. I'm very happy with this unit so far.

They are alright
on April 21, 2016

The sound different between these and turtle beach headsets or similar is miles apart, and so is the difference between these and the striker pro. These are far better than any other headsets at the same or lesser price point. I have owned 2 pairs of these, and the cat ate both. Something about the cord on these versus other headsets is apparently tasty. The first one I had did wind up having some crackling issues, but I never experienced it with the second set, so it may have been a defect. I'm going to opt for the Striker Pro for my next set rather than these due to the Mic and sound difference.

Who would have thought there'd ever come a time when desperately searching the environment for what little resources you can find to survive was your idea of relaxing? While the daylight hours may be filled with scavenging for supplies and weapons, the fact that the sun shines in the sky eases your anxiety, because you know what happens the moment it dips beyond the horizon. With the dying light comes a host of horrors that turn the hunter into the hunted. Hoards of infected become aggressive and increase in numbers, searching for you as you searched for weapons to kill them just hours before. But the infected aren't even the most frightening threat. There's something else out there that lurks in the darkness, a more sinister predator that stalks its prey. You are that prey.Set in a vast and dangerous open world, Dying Light drops you in the middle of a waking nightmare in a first-person survival horror experience that will have your heart pounding and adrenaline pumping the second night falls. During the day, you're free to roam the expansive urban environment to scavenge for supplies and craft the weapons you need to defend yourself against the victims of a vicious outbreak. A variety of melee weapons, including knives, bats, axes, sledgehammers and more, are at your disposal, as well as guns and other firepower. The sizeable crafting system enables you to create a slew of more powerful, more potent weapons and equipment with specialized ammunition. You'll need every weapon you can lay your hands on to survive the night — when the infected roam free and the night-loving predators begin their hunt. Whether you're tracking prey or evading predators, you can seamlessly leap between buildings, grapple up walls and pounce on enemies with free running movement. With breathtaking visuals and immersive gameplay, powered by Chrome Engine 6, you'll begin to fear the night right along with your character. But your only chance is to face the dying light and use every ounce of wit, skill and courage you have to survive until morning comes.

This game is really good, keeps things interesting. The only thing I don't like is that I'm stuck in the story and it wont let me back up to undo what I messed up. I'm just perpetually stuck. Friends cant join and help either.

THANK YOU! After hours of searching, I FINALLY found a compatible stylus for my HP Pavilion x360 (not the Spector). No other stylus would work properly for drawing in photo editing software.

Not what was expected
on December 10, 2015
Posted by: skatardrummer
I was swindled into the belief as many that this included gears 1, 2, and 3. That was not the case. We played this one time. The ironic thing is that xbox gave us all the gears games for free one month later due to the backwards compatability. If you just want to experience the remastered first gears, this is for you. If you were expecting more, you may be disappointed.

And the point is?
on December 10, 2015
Posted by: skatardrummer
This seemed like a great idea for my parents, and it is, but they wound up buying a Roku instead. The reality is that most TVs either come with apps already on them or people have consoles. When they don't have these, they want something they can use a remote with. You have to use your tablet or phone as a remote for this which is a poor idea for the older generation just moving away from cable. This might be a good device for younger people, but most people don't want to have to rely on another expensive piece of equipment to be their remote.

Favorite Gamecube game remastered
By ChubbumsPro from Las Vegas, NV
I was one of the few people to experience this game on the Gamecube instead of Wii, so my experience is with regular controls instead of a wiimote. It was a very fun game and one of the best Zelda titles I've played. At it's time it was more of a return to form following the wind waker which was also a great game.

Not one of the few
February 12, 2016
Not sure where the figures are coming from, one of the few to play on GC? When TP was released, GC was still largely played at the time because many people did not like the Wii controllers. The Wii had a following, but Nintendo struggled to keep up with console competitors after releasing a system not having traditional controllers. The Wii was largely unsuccessful by comparison. The Wii had trouble really gaining and maintaining popularity after a lot of people tried it because of the whole controller issue. Even now, The Wii U has had to help make accommodations for gamers that prefer a regular controller, like the Wii U Pro controller. Being able to use a controller or touchpad now in TP will be amazing. I personally find it much more effective for RPG type games like TP. I really like the Wii U touchpad, but there are even still a number of people that don't even like that because of the size. I think the amiibo interface is a great feature and I hope they will have done more with it in TP.

Will this watch work with a sprint phone?

It is an AT&T carrier watch. You would need to call AT&T and ask of they can unlock it for you to use on any network. You'd also need to check with sprint and see what devices they allow on their plans. Not all carriers have smartwatch options.

Yes, if you buy the AT&T one. No if you buy the regular one from the store. The ones for the carrier plan are made special to accept a SIM card. The regular S2 Classics do not.

Works with Amazon Prime?

Wondering if this apply's for Amazon Prime movies and more?
And I assume Chromecast only works with places your paying monthly subscriptions for example like the Hulu and Netflix ?
It does not appear Amazon is currently listed as a supported app

It may depend on the item, but mine came in the original box with everything. Looked like it was just an open box item.

Will it work with mobile data instead of internet?

I do not have access to internet where I live, but I have an unlimited data plan on my phone (android). I also do not have mobile hotspot. However, I have a modem and a wifi router (again no internet). Will chromcast work for me? I will I be able to watch netflix or youtube on my phone, and mirror it to my TV?
I don't understand exactly what you're asking. How do you not have hotspot but you are using data for internet? If you are using your phone to give internet to other devices, this is hotspot. If you are using the mobile data on your phone to run applications on your phone, this is not hotspot. Is this what you mean? You cannot plug chromecast into your phone. Chromecast plugs in via HDMI connection. Cell phones don't support this capability. You need access to wifi or hotspot, and a TV with HDMI input to use Chromecast.
