I will start off this review by saying that this is just my experience. I have read online that a lot of people have a very easy time using chromecast, but I am not one of them. I have had chromecast for about a year and so far I have had a lot of issues. It seems like when one issue gets fixed another one shows up not long after. When I first got it I almost immediately had problems with it staying connected to the internet. My wifi was always working when it wouldn't connect. I then would have to do a factory reset and start from scratch just to get the internet to come back on it. I had that problem for a few months but then it just seemed to correct itself. It then worked fine for a little while but now I am having a different problem. I used to just use my computer for chromecast but I recently got a nexus phone connected to it. The first time I used the phone with it, it worked alright. Then the second time I tried to use it, it would not be able to ever connect right and I couldn't get any video to play for more than a few seconds. I then decided to go back to the computer, but both of my computers would not be able to connect to it anymore. The google cast app would either not be able to find my device, or it would not be able to cast any page to it. I finally had to do a factory reset again and get rid of the chromecast app on my phone to get my computers to work with it. Now today I made the mistake again of trying to use my phone. The same thing happened and it took over an hour to get my computers to work with it again. Overall when it works for me it doesn't work that bad. The chrome mirroring feature seems to be working better than it used to on the websites I use it for. I don't use it for youtube or netflix anymore, but those always worked fairly well to. I have noticed some apps on the phone and on the computer don't work very well which is a shame because there are a few website I would really like to cast from (comedy centrals-phone app and red bull tvs-app and website.) Overall I am very disappointed with chromecast simply for the fact that it seems like everytime I try to use it there is a problem. Sometime it's a small fix but most of the time it seems to take me an hour or so to fix it and then I still can't watch what I was going to watch because the app or website does not work. Overall I would not recommend it because of my experience. I will say again that I have heard very good things about chromecast but my experience has not been the same.

The Mario Kart series has never had a bad game and this one was definitely my second favorite behind Mario Kart 64. The controls work great and the level design is fantastic.

When I heard this game was coming out I went out a bought a wii 2 months before the goldeneye 007 release date. Overall this is a great game. The story is good along with an unique level design. The controls with the wii mote and nunchuck work well, but if you are having problems with them you can use the classic controller. The online mode for this game was really good but sadly there is no online with the wii anymore. Still, even without online this game is worth getting. Great story mode and local multiplayer make this game a must buy for the wii.

I just recently decided to start playing my wii again and was bored with the games I have already beaten. I heard about and almost bought this game back in the day but decided against it. Then I saw that it was cheap for the pre owned copy so I picked it up. Overall I have only been playing for a couple of days but I am definitely glad that I purchased it.
This game takes a more realistic approach to skating compared to the Tony Hawk series of games. You can use the wii mote, the wii mote and nunchuck, or you can use the balance board. I only have used the wii mote and nunchuck for this game and it works very well. It is a little tough to get used to the controls, but after the tutorial and free skating you will start to pick them up. I again am new to playing this game so I am still having some problems with the controls.
The story so far is nothing new and the graphics are the middle of the road for the wii, but I am still having a good experience with the game.
If you are an extreme sports gaming fan who has a wii or a wii u I would recommend picking this one up. Sadly these types of games are not being made anymore so if the wii or wii u is your chosen system I would check this one out. I again got this pre owned for very cheap and it is definitely worth it for anyone wanting to play a skateboarding game.

Ain't Even Done With The Night is the biggest song on this album and the most recognizable. Still this album includes some great forgotten Mellencamp tracks. Hot Night In A Cold Town is the best out of the others but the others are still very strong. It isn't his best album but it is still definitely worth getting if you are a fan.

I have only seen parts of the movie but I have always enjoyed the music in it. Most people will know On The Dark Side but all of the songs are very good. Best tracks are On The Dark Side, Tender Years, Wild Summer Nights, and Season In Hell. Overall it's a great album and even if you haven't seen the movie it is still worth getting.

replay of tv shows
Can I use this to watch a tv show that I missed which is being shown on my lap top?
Yes, but your will have to use the chrome browser and the chrome mirroring feature if you watching from a channels website like nbc, cbs, fox, etc. The chrome mirroring feature does not work that well at streaming video. If you are watching a show from a website that is set up for chromecast like netflix it will work a lot better.

Can Chromecast be used as a general PC-to-TV device?
Can Chromecast be used to simply duplicate my PC's screen on the TV, independent of any apps or browser? That is, can I see on TV whatever I am doing on my PC, say work on a Word doc or Excel spreadsheet, browse internet with Firefox, etc...?
If not, do you know of any device that will do that?
If not, do you know of any device that will do that?
It can only mirror the chrome browser so anything thats on your regular computer screen will not work. It also does not work with any other browsers other than chrome. I am also not sure of any devices that will show everything on your computer.
