He's mean. He's mighty. He's powerful. He's... three feet tall? Big heroics come in small packages when you set off on adventures with Knack, the unlikely hero of this entertaining game. He may be little, but he certainly doesn't stay that way, and he may be mankind's only hope against a dangerous new threat. So get ready to have your mind blown as you watch Knack reach beyond his size and save us all.An invading goblin army has threatened everything we know and it's up to you to team up with Knack and protect the world. The unassuming character tops out at three feet, but by harnessing the mysterious power of ancient relics, Knack transforms into a formidable warrior. The power of the relics can turn him into a powerful brute, or even a gigantic wrecking machine — but you must tread lightly. Too much power and the relics could put the entire world at risk. Brought to life by Mark Cerny, one of video games' greatest minds, Knack delivers thrilling adventure of colossal proportions and invites you to wield out-of-this-world powers and discover a dynamic and diverting environment.

Great premiss, horrible execution

This game has a great concept. Take on elements and grow or shrink based on those elements. Problem is, the game is so linear, it only allows you to grow or shrink when the game wants to you. There is no exploration in the game what so ever. There is only one way to get to the end of each level. Also, the life your character has is terrible. You will die thousands of times during the game, most with just a single hit. This makes an already terrible controlled game even more frustrating. I had high hopes for this title, and while I am enjoying playing it, there are many frustrations and just plain lack of control and makes this game below average. Sony could have spent more time refining the title and they would have had a major hit on their hands. There is no coincidence this game is now at the time of writing $40

Best Jay-Z Album to Date!
on July 27, 2013

Hands down best Jay-Z album to date. Lots of song references, brilliant production. Feels fresh and new while still maintaining traditional Jay-Z sound and style. If you're a Jay-Z fan, and you for some reason don't have this album yet, get it. If your a general Hip Hop fan, you most likely will still enjoy this highly. I've listened to this album in it's entirety about 15 times already now and still loop it in my car. Great album all around!

Never heard of this band but got the album anyway based on reviews and my interest in always finding out new music. I was not disappointed with this album. The band has a really smooth easy to listen to sound while maintaining a harder rock sound. If you like rock music, defiantly check this band out.

This wireless keyboard is compatible with select Mac computers, including Apple® iMac® and other Mac computers with Bluetooth technology, for wide-ranging use. Function keys provide 1-touch access to a variety of Mac features.

Excellent keyboard. Great wireless range and keys are simple to type on. Great to pair with iPad, mac mini, mac pro, or any pc with bluetooth as well. Great in a server room for easy carrying around and paring to different servers. Very durable and very well designed. Only thing missing is the right hand side number pad, but all the numbers are on the top and the side number pad is not really needed. Saves space on your desk and complements the mac pro, mini, ipad, etc very nicely.

Outstanding Mouse
on May 20, 2013
Posted by: elitegangsta
from Maryland
Overall this is one of the best mice i have ever used. Paired with my Mac Pro and OS X Lion, this is the best complement to the OS you can get. The gestures make navigating the operating system very simple and much quicker. The tracking offers excellent response, fast mouse pointer speed, and very smooth and accurate movement. The overall weight is also fantastic, it feels nice and solid while it moved about the table. Design is especially nice, great for either a left handed person or right handed person. Pairing with the blue-tooth card only took a moment and offered no trouble. Only negative thing is this drains batteries quicker than i would like, but if you get yourself some rechargeable ones, it becomes a non-issue. This paired with the wireless bluetooth keyboard makes for a very clean desk space and adds a great deal of style too :) Cannot recommend this mouse enough.

This has to be the best media center available, period. However, out of the box it needs some tweaking. A very simple "jailbreak" procedure is required to unlock this devices FULL potential. Once jailbroken, XBMC can be installed which is an open source media center software that will play back ANY media format. All those SUPER HIGH QUALITY bluray MKV files that are out there can be played flawlessly in full high definition once XBMC is installed. Otherwise, you are limited to the MP4 file format restrictions of iTunes. The hardware is fully capable of playing anything you throw at it, it just needs to have a minor software addition to unlock this truly amazing device. Form factor is perfect. Super small, energy efficient, silent. Best $100 i've spent in a LONG time.
What's great about it: expansive, form factor, remote, quality, best media center device
What's not so great: put of the box it does not support ALL media files. This is easily changed however if you just google "jailbreak"

If you liked the first, you will like this version. I was afraid after playing the beta that they would change too much from the original and it wouldn't feel like resistance, but i was wrong, this game is great, i loved every minute of what i've played so far, story is betters, guns are better and more realistic
What's great about it: True to the original while adding more depth to the story, better multiplayer modes, better graphical detail
What's not so great: the beta was terrible, haven't found a complaint about final YET

These Apple-designed cases are made from premium leather for a luxurious feel. Because they're precision crafted for iPhone 6, the case fits snugly and your phone still feels incredibly slim even with the case on. The soft microfiber lining on the inside helps protect your iPhone. And on the outside, you see color that's more than surface deep, thanks to a dye that's infused into the leather. Choose from five complementary colors.(This case is made from natural aniline leather. Its appearance will change as you use it.)

This is genuine leather
October 3, 2014
Just wanted to add a correction to this post. This case is made of genuine leather. It DOES feel like it is on the plastic side. It is made from a high quality premium leather and is stretched rather tight. Any genuine leather stretched this tight will give the feel of a plastic, "pleathery" texture, but this is in fact genuine leather product.
Faux leather will be absolutely flawless around the edges and appear very smooth. Real leather will be slightly more grainy and have more of a "folded" look as this case does. You can also just simply smell the case, unlike faux leather, you cannot mistake the smell of real leather. This case also smells of real leather.
Last but not least, it also states in the description that it is made of premium genuine leather, if not true, Apple would already have a nice lawsuit on their hands since this case has been selling extremely well.

The electric kettle that pours as good as it looks! Uniting stunning design with thoughtful features and a simplistic user interface, Fellow’s Stagg EKG packs a powerful punch. Since different coffees and brew methods require different water temperatures, a home brewer needs complete control in order to perfect recipes. Simply press down on Stagg EKG’s dial to turn the kettle on and twist the dial to set your goal temperature. With a 1200 watt quick-heating element and a unique PID sensor system, Stagg EKG’s to-the-degree temperature control lets you select the exact temperature from 135°F to 212°F. The base also has two switches to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit, as well as a toggle for HOLD mode to keep your water hot for 60 minutes. To engage the Brew Stopwatch on the high-res LCD screen to time your pour-over, press and hold on the dial. A counterbalanced handle and fluted spout tip make imprecise pouring a thing of the past.
Can you use this for making tea
absolutely. It's great for heating water to make tea. Whether loose tea or pouring into a cup for a tea bag.

eufy Security Wired 2K Video Doorbell. 2K Resolution, 5-Day Continuous Video Recording (CVR) on Secure Local Storage, No Monthly Fees, Human Detection, 2-way Audio, and Free Wireless Chime included.
Can you use an existing traditional doorbell chime with this, or do you have to use the eufy door chime?
You must use the included chime. You also need to connect a bridge adaptor to your existing chime. It's simple to setup. I initially thought this would be a bad thing, but I find the tones of the included chime so much better than my "ding-dong" chime. Just plug it into a corner somewhere and it's not a big deal.

Hello, does this have night vision? Does it have the 3 second preview before the video is recorded like the other 2k hardwired? I don't see this on Eufy's website. Is it new?
Yes it has night vision. See attached for a screenshot off my phone.
I don't believe there is a "3 second preview" it just starts recording when activity is detected. You can obviously delete anything you don't want recorded.

Does this use 5Ghz band Wi-Fi? Or just 2.4Ghz
Just 2.4GHz. I've found this to not be an issue in my environment though.

Not at this time. I cannot say if Eufy will decide to ad this in the future.

Toast up to 4 slices of bread or bake an 11" pizza quickly in this Breville the Mini Smart Oven BOV450XL, which features 4 quartz elements for fast, even heating. Element IQ coordinates cooking times to preheated oven temperatures.
Can you tell when it is on when in bake mode? Is there a light or temp indicator?
Yes, there is a gauge on the top that tells you when it is at the correct temperature. This relies on grill or oven for heat and does not produce it's own heat.
