Amazing platform blends retro and modern
on December 17, 2016
Posted by: Mike1664

This, and all of the Shantae games, have been amazing. If you're into platformers like Shovel Knight, Mega Man or Metroid, this is right up your alley. Funny, fun, with great controls and visuals.

Players have been going on daring adventures with Link for more than two decades. An instant classic, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Super NES, introduced gamers to a storyline that has been rejuvenated with The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. With new features and an enhanced look, you'll love embarking on a new journey with Link.Link is setting off on another adventure in Hyrule, but this time he has some new abilities under his belt. Transform into a "drawing" and move along the walls of dungeons, so you can explore locations Link could never reach before and open up new puzzle elements for thrilling gameplay challenges. The amazing visuals and 60 frames per second transform the 2D world and enhance it with elevation and depth for an experience the reinvents the classic. The 3DS also allows more freedom with customized settings — just touch and drag items from the item window and switch them with what are assigned to the X and Y buttons.

Annoying time mechanic

Mostly fun, but the annoying time mechanic really hampered my enjoyment of the game. I just want to explore and not be restricted.

Dated, but still fun
on November 7, 2015
Posted by: Mike1664
from Johnson City, Tn
The screen resolution and graphics overall are terrible and very dated. Thankfully, that doesn't detract from the fun too much. There are many good games to play, available now. The sound is pretty decent, and for the most part the console is comfortable to hold, although the flat "joystick" tends to cause my thumb some pain after a few minutes of play.
It's built well, and I like that it closes up to protect the screen.

Despite the reviews, it's just not that great
on August 27, 2015
Posted by: Mike1664
from Johnson City, Tn
I've loved, and owned, every Muse album to date, except this one. After a week of listening to it, I just can't get into it. Only two songs stand out at all, and one is all over the radio. It just seems uninspired, repetitive, and it feels like they're out of ideas. Certainly not the stellar music that I'm used to from this band. I have high standards of music, and this one falls short.

Less inspired, but a decent album
on May 29, 2015
Posted by: Mike1664
They seem to have lost their signiture sound, and instead replaced it with something much more generic and less memorable. I've listened to this album about 6 times now, and only two or three tracks stand out. Still, a decent album that might be worth picking up, just don't expect the sound, energy, or heartfelt build of their previous work.

Good album crossing many genres of music
on May 1, 2015
Posted by: Mike1664
from Johnson City, Tn
Buy this for the wide variety and the clean, upbeat musica style. The songs that you may have heard only focus on a sliver of the musical styles covered across the album. This album features many vocalists and covers several musical genres.
I quite enjoy the sound of nearly every track, but I do wish there was a little bit less of the "techno" flare to some of the songs.
Overall, pretty good album.

Brings gaming back to it's roots
on March 25, 2015
Posted by: Mike1664
from Johnson City, Tn
It's nice to have a game that doesn't hold your hand. Instead of telling you what to do and where to go at all times, Bloodborne drops you into a strange world of confusion with not so much as a goal. It slowly starts to come together, the story, the mechanics, the weapons, it's all there. It's a game that respects the player, but also demands respect of it's own. It's tough, yes, but that's not all the game is about. It's beautifully designed, meticulously balanced, and every nook and cranny has meaning and life. If you want to experience a game that let's you play how you want to play, this is for you. If you want your hand held and cannot tolerate defeat, you should move on. The best game I've played in a long time.

Silky smooth action
on March 10, 2015
Posted by: Mike1664
from Johnson City, Tn
I missed this the first time around on the last gen, and I'm really glad I waited. Silk smooth, fast, furious, deep gameplay. 1080p/60 makes a huge difference on games like this.
The combat is challenging, without being punishing, and it requires careful use of all your abilities. Button mashers may not be into this...
The voice work and story is pretty good, and the game as a whole is a blast to play. I recommended it.

Amazing album
on March 4, 2015
Posted by: Mike1664
from Johnson City, Tn
This album is filled with variety, spirit, and a huge diversity of sounds and vibes. Pounding riffs, funky beats, and pure emotion percolate throughout the entire album. While quite different than the original, it still manages to find that imagine dragons feel while still fleshing out it's own identity. This is my favorite album in the last few years. It's inspired, original, and certainly worth your attention.

Courage and honor. The protection of the weak. Nobility and honesty. Skill in combat. Leadership. When you think of knights, there are a few qualities that come to mind. No matter who you ask, from nearly any time in the last handful of centuries, you'll get the same answers every time — because to earn the title of a knight, you must possess the nature of a hero. Would the same hold true in an alternate universe? Will the meaning of a knight always be upheld?See if you possess the qualities of a true knight and join The Order, an elite community of knights that has been engaged in a centuries-old war — a war that will determine the course of history forever. Even in this unique version of Victorian-era London, the knights fight on the side of good, attempting to protect man from a powerful and ancient foe. So harness the technologically advanced weaponry, gather your courage and fight for honor — it's your duty.

Amazing game
on February 22, 2015
Posted by: Mike1664
from Johnson City, Tn
This game is amazing. The visuals, audio, voicework, and detail that went into this game is hard to compare with anything else. The game tells a compelling story, with a slow meticulous pace. If you're into slower paced games like the last of us, metal gear, or life is strange, this will suit you well. It's not action heavy trigger happy gameplay. If you have a short attention span, your time will be spent elsewhere. If you appreciate deliberate pacing and immense details and subtlety, this is an amazing experience.

Multi-colored dots on screen

52 inch Samsung Mod LNT5265FX/XAA, purchsed Oct 2007. Has happened twice so far. When TV is turned on milti-colored dots appear on screen. You can view the cable/and/or the DVD image, but the bluish/pinkish dots are all over the screen. Turned off TV then back on, and they disappeared. Has happened twice. Any ideas? ?Does it need repair? Samsung support says there is no firmware ukpdates for this model that woud correct the problem.
If it is under warranty I would have it replaced asap.
It does sound like a hardware problem. Not normal at all.

DLP color problem

My dlp's color when watching tv are all screwed up, but when I put in a dvd the color is perfect. Is this a setting or does something need replaced?

Why would a 3 yr old Samsung DLP cost more to repair than I paid for it? What should I replace it with?

Labor always costs more than retail items.
Mitsubishi makes a good DLP if you wish to stay with that. LCD televisions are known to last much longer. LG is a good choice.

3D through my 1080hd projector

if i buy a 3d player and use it through my 1080hd projector, will it display 3d on my screen?
No. You need a 3D capable display to be able to take advantage of a 3D signal. I'm sure 3D capable home projectors are on their way, but I don't know of any yet.

Projector

I need a projector to put songs and bible scriptures on the wall for our church.

What is the product to buy?
If image quality isn't a factor a pico projector would do great. If you want image quality I would recommend any optoma in your price range. Some have built in audio, some do not. Just pay attention and make sure it have the proper audio/video inputs for your needs.

If we buy a 3D HDTV, can we still watch 2D shows/movies?

Will the TV mess up regular TV/movie watching by trying to show it in 3D? Will we have to always wear the glasses when watching, or can we watch 2D broadcasts like watching a normal TV?
Yes. It can be turned off on all current 3D tv's.
