Best game I've every played!!
on January 10, 2015
Posted by: ates
Awesome graphics, gameplay, and story. It has a human element that we could all relate to which is why the story is so good and addicting. Some parts can be scary and suspenseful. Graphics are awesome and much improved to the ps3 version. This is the one game I recommend to all my friends.

The producers of Planet Earth explore some truly remarkable creatures and their unique habitats, many of which have never been captured on camera before. Star nosed moles, Zambian bats, and the Vogelkop bowerbird are just a few of the creature's you'll encounter as the filmmakers take viewers to distant continents, using state-of-the-art filming techniques to drift along with migrating elephants, soar through the sky with monarch butterflies, and witness a mating battle (also known as a "heat run") between male humpback whales. A two week visit with some Komodo dragons allows us to witness with striking detail how the mighty, ancient beasts can manage the unique feat of taking down an animal that towers over them in size. The series concludes with a "making-of" special which reveals how the dedicated filmmakers worked for more than four years to deliver a nature series with the power to take your breath away. Narrated by David Attenborugh.

GREAT Documentary!

If you're a fan of planet earth then you'll love this. Some clips are from planet earth and some are new material. This is the David Attenborough narration so it is better than the Oprah one that everyone hates. Picture quality is fantastic and in 1080p. It was on-sale for very cheap during the holidays!

Good price when on sale!

Solid feel, no leaks, plastic cap is durable. It's easy to clean and has the flip open lid. I usually just clean by rinsing it with near boiling hot water and then cap, shake, and drain it. The liquid does stay hot but it's not near anything advertised. As for as performance, it days keep the beverage hot for 2-3hrs. No noticeable plastic smell in my beverage, I think you just have to use it a few times in order for it to disappear.

Time feels suspended at the starting gate as you and the other riders lean forward anxiously. Your hands unconsciously move up toward your face, checking that your goggles are secure and in place. Your fingers tighten around the handlebars, gripping tightly with determination and the overwhelming desire to win. You were born to race. You take off and immediately the air is filled with a haze of wheel-flung mud and dirt and the sounds of a dozen engines throttling. You time your first double jump perfectly, achieving serious airtime in the process. The rider next to you was not so lucky and in your peripheral vision you can see that he came up short. Everything starts to become a blur, but you've ridden so many times that by this point it's almost second nature. You approach the finish line, neck and neck with another rider. You execute a series of mini hills excellently, noticing that the other rider has fallen behind, sending you rocketing across the finish line as the clear winner.Take on a virtually unlimited array of platform-racing challenges in Trials Fusion, where you'll have to draw on your motocross skills to make your way across a plethora of courses filled with obstacles, ramps and jumps. Set track records against some of the best Trials players around the globe by competing in worldwide tournaments. Race on official courses and experience a rich world of custom courses, which are built by some of the most skilled content creators in the game. Perform insane acrobatic stunts and maneuvers with the brand-new FMX tricks system. The included Season Pass helps you stay in the action with six DLC packs and a new Career mode event, as well as tracks and items for the track editor and five bonus unlockable in-game items. Enjoy an over-the-top racing experience with Trials Fusion.

Easy to play. Great graphics. Lots of levels, includes the season pass DLC code for downloading new map packs. I bought it for my 8yr old nephew for christmas and he seems to enjoy the map editor since he's into minecraft and building things.

Excellent!!
on January 10, 2015
Posted by: ates
Easy to setup. Wireless subwoofer automatically syncs to soundbar. I haven't had any issues with it disconnecting. Sound has great treble and bass. For movies and tv it sounds great. I got it price matched for a very good price. There is only a 3.5mm and 2 optical inputs so if you're using a RCA cables you'll have to get an adapter. I connect my ps4 using optical and pc monitor (3.5mm) so it's easy to switch inputs using the remote. Overall for the price range of 100-200 this soundbar can't be beat. Also, don't expect to have surround sound feel as the speaker is directly in front of you and can't really simulate the 5.1 surround.

Slightly above average sound
on December 8, 2014
Posted by: ates
If you wan't something for the bedroom to replace those tiny tv speakers then this will do the job. Just don't put this thing in the living room and expect high sound quality. As a bedroom speaker the audio quality for movies and videogames is much better than the stock tv. The treble is nice and clear for audio voices and sound effects. The bass is decent considering there is no external subwoofer. For music this thing sound horrible. I would only recommend this for a bedroom tv/pc setup whose main use is movies/tv and videogames.

Use this intelligent adapter to connect your iPhone 5 or 5s, iPod touch (5th generation), or iPod nano (7th generation) featuring the Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories. The 0.2m-long cable provides extra length to connect to 30-pin accessories.

Works Great but expensive!
on December 8, 2014
Posted by: ates
Works great for connecting the iphone 6 to a car stereo deck with 30pin connector. The only negative is it doesn't charge while it is plugged and it is quite a bit expensive for a cable adaptor. But if you wan't something that works and don't wan't to deal with the hassle of generic adaptors then buy it.

The art of war may be thousands of years old, but on the battlegrounds of the future combat has become a big business.

Soldiers no longer need to specialize in any area of combat — equipped with powerful exoskeletons, they become the masters of all battlefield skills. In this new age of privatized combat, one PMC stands at the forefront of the industry, the juggernaut Atlas Corporation. Founded and led by Jonathan Irons, perhaps the most powerful man in the world, Atlas Corporation represents the evolution of modern combat. Under the oversight of Irons and men like him, the rules of warfare have been completely rewritten, and national borders change with the demands of the highest bidders. Do you have what it takes to navigate this ever-changing military landscape and answer the Call of Duty?The latest installment in the popular combat series, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare plunges you into the combat of the future, orchestrated and fought by PMCs with the latest technology in armor, weaponry and tactics. Enter the world of Jonathan Irons — the founder and president of the world's most dominant PMC, Atlas Corporation — in a powerful performance by Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey. Step onto the battlefield in a powerful exoskeleton that provides a massive force multiplier, delivers strategic freedom and enhances even the most adept soldier's abilities with optimized movement, jumping and grappling, covert cloaking abilities and biomechanics that take your strength, awareness, endurance and speed to the next level. Destroy opposing forces with an advanced arsenal that allows you to dominate the battlefield and all-new equipment, abilities and perks that put you at the forefront of combat technology. Conduct missions with hoverbikes, highly specialized drones and other new vehicles that enhance your mobility. Attack enemy forces with tried-and-true standard ammunition or step up your assault with new directed-energy weapons. The future of war is upon you — are you ready to play your part?

Great game!
on December 8, 2014
Posted by: ates
Graphics are great and gameplay is unique while still maintaining that COD gameplay style. Multiplayer can be frustrating at first but just continue to explore the different guns and setups and you may eventually get the hang of it. The mp gameplay is a lot faster than its predecessor this means quicker deaths and a bit harder to get kill streaks. Overall a fun game if you like the COD series. Some may hate it because of the EXO abilities and faster gameplay but just keep playing because it does become enjoyable.

iPhone 6 isn't just bigger — it's better in every way. Larger yet thinner. More powerful, yet power efficient. It's a new generation of iPhone.

Performs identical to 2015 model but lacks ports
By ates
To clarify this has same internal specifications (CPU/Ram) as the previous 2015 16gb release and functions the same. The shield TV itself is reduced in size but at a cost of removing the micro-USB, and microSD slot. On the front the IR-receiver is also removed. The remote is different too, it is now made of plastic, uses a coin battery that must be replaced, and does not have the 3.5mm headphone jack for private listening. The controller has been updated for ergonomics, google voice commands, and increased battery life due to BT connection. Overall, the Shield TV functions the same but is a re-launch to get the controller bundle out and save Nvidia in manufacturing cost by reducing the inputs of the 16gb and making the remote plastic. The 2015 Nvidia Shield TVs will get an OTA firmware update so both would have identical performance/firmware/software. If you have the old Shield TV then it's not necessary to get this. This does have a new controller but the Shield TV/Remote is a downgrade as it lacks the inputs and aluminum remote.
