Lesser Linkin Park
on October 14, 2007
Posted by: supahgrandpoobahnator
from California
The shame of this album is that it's a new direction for Linkin Park that really WORKS on about 4 of the tracks, but the other 8 are so forgettable and lame that it's hard to get too hot and bothered over it. I definitely recommend it to LP fans, if just for the 4 songs that are really hot, but casual rock fans (or recovering rap rock junkies) might not be too impressed.
What's great about it: About 4 songs
What's not so great: The other 8 songs

Best Concept CD since Green Day's American Idiot
on October 14, 2007
Posted by: supahgrandpoobahnator
from California
This is an AMAZING album from start to finish. It's no wonder it's compared to American Idiot - the same producer that works with Green Day worked with this band here. The result is an album that rocks almost from the start, but has fanastic quirky set pieces like the opus MAMA (with Liza Minelli guesting!). I mean, WHO would have guessed that you'd find Liza Minelli on a ROCK album. That particular song has a very Pink Floyd The Wall feel to it. There are tons of other great tracks as well like "Dead", "Teenagers", "Famous Last Words", and on and on.
What's great about it: Perhaps two songs on the whole album miss the mark
What's not so great: Two songs suck

Mecha Action Hotness
on October 11, 2007
Posted by: supahgrandpoobahnator
from California
Previous Armored Core games have focused on the strategy element of building the perfect mech. That's great, but the mechs felt slow and clunky. THIS Armored Core plays almost like an arcade game. It's way faster and more action-oriented than previous titles. This is the best 360 mech game.
What's great about it: Fast Mecha action
What's not so great: Not enough game

Great Multiplayer experience
on October 11, 2007
Posted by: supahgrandpoobahnator
from California
The multiplayer mode in this game is pretty average for a FPS game, but the thing that really elevates it is the customization. You have three different races (elf, human, dwarf) that are well balanced, and each can buy things like teleporting, resurrection, glider (flying), and all sorts of crazy options. By mixing up the options, there's a really deep level of play that can be achieved on the various maps. It also rewards cooperative team play.
The community that plays it is pretty consistent, so there's always someone to play online. It's just a drag that the lack of campaign mode makes it a more limited experience than it should be.
What's great about it: Awesome multiplayer ability combinations
What's not so great: NO CAMPAIGN MODE!

Great Golf
on October 9, 2007
Posted by: supahgrandpoobahnator
from California
EA has made this series better and better each year. The modes, shops, equipment and general realism make for a really immersive experience, even if you're not a golfer. The only think that's still creepy is the 3D face models for the golfers are weird-looking. They've been improving, but this year they're still odd. Aside from that, there's a LOT to love in this game.
What's great about it: Gameplay is addictive
What's not so great: PS2 graphics suffer compared to next-gen versions

A New Idea in a Stale Genre
on October 9, 2007
Posted by: supahgrandpoobahnator
from California
Skate is much more of a "groove" type game where you are immersed in the laid back attitude of skateboarding. The controls primarily use the two analog sticks to do the board work, and while this takes an hour or two to get used to, it's amazing to work with once you're used to the controls. Nice NEW idea in a stale genre. Also, now that Sony has announced the Dual Shock 3, hopefully they'll offer a patch for this that supports rumble on the PS3!
What's great about it: Great, natural controls.
What's not so great: Not-so-great, longer learning curve for the new controls

The curtain becomes nauseating. You've stared at it for what seems like eternity. You sweat as the rumbles of an anxious crowd rattle the stage. This is your big moment. After years of hard work and expended creative energy, your dreams may be crushed in a matter of seconds. When the curtain rises, your music career will reach its coda. You'll either knock the crowd off its feet with stellar strumming and killer riffs, etching a rock reputation that may someday lead you to sold-out stadiums and arenas. Or you'll bomb, having to earn your living on the sidewalk with an open guitar case. Fame and fortune begin with fingers and frets. Do you have what it takes to become the next rock-and-roll legend, or are you all thumbs?Picking up where its extremely popular predecessor left off, Guitar Hero II expands your playing options by letting you play two different guitar tracks per song, selecting from rhythm, bass and lead, depending on the track. This smashing sequel follows up the original with more than 55 killer new tracks, including hits from rock legends Van Halen, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, Avenged Sevenfold and more. All-new multiplayer modes let you form a duo with a friend in Cooperative mode, or shred riffs back and forth in Pro Face-Off and Face-Off modes. All guitar heroes started somewhere — try out the all-new Practice mode to master specific sections of music or even slow down the track, and take your first step towards superstardom.

I wanna ROCK
on October 8, 2007
Posted by: supahgrandpoobahnator
from California
Guitar Hero II is a definite improvement on Guitar Hero. They made it easier to do the hammer on and pull off moves that were really iffy in the first game. They also used the success of the first game to get an even BETTER list of hit songs for the set lists this time around. It's the rare game that builds on a prior game (Japanese hit Guitar Freaks) and makes it SO much better, but the Guitar Hero series does it! I highly recommend getting a wireless guitar for this because the game makes you want to ROCK, and it's hard to do that with wires attached!
What's great about it: Better in almost every way than the first game
What's not so great: No recording contract forthcoming when you beat it

Beautiful Blu-Ray Hi Def transfer
on September 24, 2007
Posted by: supahgrandpoobahnator
from California
I got this movie for my wife, but was surprised that I actually enjoyed the comedy in it as well. The bigger surprise was that this movie has one of the BEST Hi-Def transfers I have seen yet. The color saturation and black levels are FANTASTIC. Technically, I'd give it 4.5 stars, but the movie itself is only a 3. Still, enough funny stuff in here to make it easy for guys to watch with their significant other.

supahgrandpoobahnator's Review Comments
They say for most people that doing is learning — being told how to do something, or even shown, isn't nearly as effective as jumping right in and giving it a try for yourself. Learning to play the guitar certainly applies to this principle, and hands-on, on-the-go sessions are the most effective way to elevate your skills. Whether you're a novice picking up the guitar for the very first time or an old hand fine-tuning your technique, Rocksmith gets you results fast, by putting the guitar in your hands, plugging into your console and getting the party started. Rocksmith 2014 Edition takes the same proven methods of the original edition and enhances them for a fruitful learning experience that will soon have you riffing with the best of 'em.Newly designed for an enriched, re-imagined experience, Rocksmith 2014 Edition features new menus and in-game interfaces for clear, smooth and blazing-fast learning. Receive feedback and play along with more than 50 hit tracks, from alternative rock to heavy metal to classic rock and more. If you own the original Rocksmith, the 2014 Edition is backward compatible with those songs as well for a rich library of tracks you know and love. Designed for ease and speed, the features are more accessible and flexible than ever, allowing you to select your section, difficulty and speed on-the-fly in the fully customizable Riff Repeater mode. Experience a revamped Master mode that is more approachable to learn songs by memory. When you want to ease the pressure a bit, jump over to the Guitarcade for more than 10 mini games that will help you have fun while honing your skills. Session mode lets you experience the feeling of jamming with a band — choose the combination of instruments you want backing you up and following your lead. Showcase your sickest performance with integrated capture and streaming features, which are exclusive to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of Rocksmith 2014. Import your existing DLC purchases from your PlayStation 3, so you can grow your music library without having to leave your favorite tunes behind. Become engrossed in the learning process with 1080p high-definition graphics that offer improved clarity and visual quality, which make it easier to follow along. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced axe man, there's always something to learn, and Rocksmith 2014 Edition makes it an enjoyable, worthwhile experience.

I thought this game what's going to be wonderful but turned out that there was the big time lag and the game performance. I have very fast internet so there should have been a problem. Tried to return the item but was unable to. Not happy.

The Lag is your TV
February 15, 2015
You need to put your TV in game mode to reduce the lag if the game is lagging on you. Many cheap LCD TVs (like Vizio, Westinghouse, etc) have terrible lag. It's probably your TV. If you have game mode, that will help.

what is bionz image processer
It is currently in many of Sony's digital cameras. Image processing in camera converts the raw image data from a CCD into the format that is stored on the memory card. This processing is one of the bottlenecks in digital camera speed, so manufacturers put much effort into making, and marketing, the fastest processors for this step that they can. Some of the models that use the Bionz image processors are DSC W150,DSC W170,W210,W350, α 700, α 900

Olympus 8010 has 1588MB memory and 6020 has 632 MB memory, using max of 14 megapixel for photos, what would photo storage difference be?
Olympus 8010 has 1588 MB memory and 6020 has 632 MB memory using 14 megapixcels, what would picture storage difference be? Cameras are almost the same, except 8010 is is little more shock and water proof to lower depth.
It depends on the storage compression of the camera. IF it's uncompressed 24 bit pictures, there's about 125 pictures on the one camera and a little over 300 on the other. But most consumer cameras store as Jpg images with some compression, so the real storage is most-likely substantially more.

Where can I get my Camera Repaired?
The little orange triangle that holds the battery in broke
If this is a Canon camera, they have an exchange program where you send them yours and they exchange it for another. It's typically reasonable.

Zoom doesn't work
Yesterday I bought a sony digital camera model DSC-H10 at best buy #323, and zoom only works before starting the filming, during filming zoom doesn't works. A question is not whether this is a defect or not? I have another camera that Sony does Żomm during filming. I am grateful if they can give me an answer as soon as possible.
This is not a defect. The optical zoom cannot be changed while filming on the DSC-H10.
The reason most cameras don't allow it is because the microphone will pick up the sound of the motor adjusting the lens while you're filming because camera motors weren't really designed to work like camcorders except in a pinch.
Canon Powershot S5-IS can optically zoom while filming, as can a few other cameras, but if you're filming live action a lot, you're better off getting a camcorder that can take pictures, not a camera that can film.
