Troy and Abed are on a DVD!

One of my favorite new shows, something I've marathoned numerous times and decided to pick up for home viewing without the ads (looking at you Hulu). Certainly going to pick up the other seasons as I find them.
Only knock against the season is something found in Simpson DVD's...If you're not just watching the entire thing, you're forced to sit through the FBI piracy warning and such EVERY EPISODE if you're selectively watching. Boooo.

Wasn't sure if this movie would stack up to the last one, but it does and then some. Bigger explosions, bigger laughs and raunchier jokes and situations. A definite pickup if you liked the first one

Good enough for now
on October 23, 2015
Posted by: UberGeek
I'll give a quick rundown of my thoughts before listing the pro's and con's of the router, and I'll be upfront: It's an okay router for the $40 I paid. Had I paid the retail price of over $75 I'd have been returning the router after the first night of using it. The 2.4 signal is great as is expected but it's a HIGHLY saturated signal in my apartment, hence why I picked a simultaneous dual band. The 5GHz signal is okay, weird dead spots in my place and signal drops with only 15ft distance and a very thin wall in the way.
+PROS+
+For $40 it's pretty good value
+Fairly detailed menus and easy setup (for those who know what they're doing at least)
+Nice sized high power antennae
+GIgabit LAN (who would buy one without?)
-CONS-
-Weak and sad performance from the 5GHz band
-No mounting holes at all
-No band steering allowing the same SSID to be used and letting the devices pick what is best or available.
~Other thoughts~
~DDWRT would have been a nice feature, but the chipset apparently doesn't jive with it, grab an archer C5 or C7 if you want that.
~I'd really only recommend this if you can get it for the discounted price of $40. Otherwise chip in a little extra and get the C5

Excellent headset, a must buy!
on September 22, 2015
Posted by: UberGeek
I have used a Turtle Beach PX21 headset for about two years off and on, often getting irritated by how uncomfortable it was, the cups not fitting well on my ears. This headset changes everything. The cups go over the ears and rest very comfortably, especially once they're dialed in for the size of your head (I've got a big noggin). The surround sound is virtualzed, but works very well. The mic leaves a little to be desired, I tend to speak softly and need to raise my voice sometimes to get it to pick up my voice, so I'd like to keep it closer. This isn't possible as it's got maybe a 15-20 degree angle before it flexes back. All in all, it's a great headset, goes well with my color scheme and rests comfortably for long gaming sessions.
+Nice cushy ear cups that go OVER the ears
+Great sound and even has surround capabilities
+Nice blue color scheme
+Toggle for mic on/off as well as headset volume
+Super long braided cable that matches the colors of the headset
+Headset links up with Logitech's G Software suite and allows for firmware updates and minor tweaking
-Mic is a little picky about when it picks up voices, especially for soft spoken people
-Cable can be a bit long, might suggest a light wrap to keep it tidy.

Ghostbusters: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson star as a quartet of Manhattan-based "paranormal investigators". When their government grants run out, the former three go into business as The Ghostbusters, later hiring Hudson on. Armed with electronic paraphernalia, the team is spectacularly successful, ridding The Big Apple of dozens of ghoulies, ghosties and long-legged beasties. Tight-lipped bureaucrat William Atherton regards the Ghostbusters as a bunch of charlatans, but is forced to eat his words when New York is besieged by an army of unfriendly spirits, conjured up by a long-dead Babylonian demon and "channelled" through beautiful cellist Sigourney Weaver and nerdish Rick Moranis. The climax is a glorious sendup of every Godzilla movie ever made-and we daresay it cost more than a year's worth of Japanese monster flicks combined. Who'd ever dream that the chubby, cheery Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man would turn out to be the most malevolent threat ever faced by New York City? When the script for Ghostbusters was forged by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, John Belushi was slated to play the Bill Murray role; Belushi's death in 1982 not only necessitated the hiring of Murray, but also an extensive rewrite. The most expensive comedy made up to 1984, Ghostbusters made money hand over fist, spawning not only a 1989 sequel but also two animated TV series (one of them partially based on an earlier live-action TV weekly, titled The Ghost Busters. Ghostbusters II: Ivan Reitman's sequel to the phenomenally successful Ghostbusters is looser and more self-assured than the original. The film opens with a title reading "Five Years Later" and finds the ghostbusters living in hard times. A restraining order has forbidden the boys to partake in paranormal warfare, and as a result they have had to seek other lines of work. Ray (Dan Aykroyd) and Winston (Ernie Hudson) spend their time performing at children's' birthday parties, and Egon (Harold Ramis) is busy conducting experiments investigating the effect of human emotions on the environment, leaving ghostbusting behind. Venkman (Bill Murray) and Dana (Sigourney Weaver) have split up. Venkman now hosts a local cable show called "The World of the Psychic." Dana, now divorced and the mother of a little baby named Oscar, works as an art restorer in a museum -- and this is where the plot kicks in. While Dana is restoring a portrait of a 16th-century tyrant by the name of Vigo the Carpathian, the portrait becomes hexed. The evil Vigo wants to return to life by taking over the body of Dana's little child. Vigo has enlisted Dana's boss, Janosz Poha (Peter MacNicol), to compel Dana to cooperate. Soon dirty sludge and slime flow through the streets of Manhattan, and the ghostbusters have to reunite to save the city from a funky paranormal evil.

Whatchoo gonna watch?
on February 7, 2015
Posted by: UberGeek
Ghostbusters I & II are two of my favorite movies to sit back and watch on any day of the week, the comedic value is high in this product. Mashing both movies into a single, highly affordable pack made it an easy choice while searching my local BB.
Both movies are in excellent quality and sound is equally great. The book included (that's built into the case) is nice but would have been a little nicer as a separate entity but still provides some nice photos and information. Special features are excellent and provide quite a bit of extra content on both disks, I was quite surprised at how much they packed into the disks.

Backing up my movies and music to this was probably the biggest reason for purchasing this, as I hate having to worry about other systems having media that isn't on another. Blammo, perfect fix.

Got this to replace a drive that had failed in a friends laptop, not as fast as the original one, but for the price and size it was hard to beat at a moment's notice.

Makes driving games MUCH easier, requires less pressure and doesn't lead to fatigue as quickly as the convex buttons are normally.

The movie that started it all for me...
on October 8, 2014
Posted by: UberGeek
This movie started my long love of Batman and the entire universe of his being. I had this on VHS as a young kid and watched it so many times I knew the words and would act it out in my living room. Sadly the tape died, had to pick this up, great quality, great price, very highly recommended!

Great Easy Upgrade for a laptop
By Wheels35
Speed and performance of this SSD is bar none. Its a great upgrade to a previously mechanical internal laptop hard drive. I feel a lot more secure carrying my laptop around in my backpack in sleep mode and being able to easily pull it out and get right back up to going.
I highly recommend this hard drive upgrade to anyone looking for speed and performance increases or reliability upgrades to their laptop.

If the drive is great and does everything you've wanted it to do, why not rate it at 5 stars?

Connect Smart TVs, consoles, laptops and the rest of your mobile devices to this D-Link router. You’ll be able to stream HD multimedia, play your favorite online games, and download files at the same time, with less interference.
 

Will this work with a CenturyLink Q1000 modem?

Yes, if you're not interested in using the Q1000 as a router you can plug a cable from the LAN port on the Q1000 into the WAN (Internet) port and should be able to use it as a wireless device.

is compatible with ps3 ?

is compatible with the Playstation 3, to store data, movies, images. With this hard drive I can see the data on the playstation 3?
Haven't had any luck with it. I'm pretty sure it might be a file system issue...Check out this guide on the Sony forums: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-General/How-to-use-a-USB-external-Hard-Drive-on-your-PS3/td-p/14303247
