An engineering phenom.

All i can say is WOW. This really is the Mercedes of vacuums. I bought this Dyson for my parents during black friday and they were kind of skeptical why i spent so much money on a vacuum. I do agree that $399 is pretty steep for a vacuum. But after watching online reviews and reading reviews, i knew this would be the perfect gift. Right away my parents were super impressed. They have a 6,000 square foot house so obviously vacuuming is pretty important (not to mention streneous). But they were very impressed with how smooth the vacuum was, it's incredible sucking power (for lack of a better description), and how light it was. The durability of the vacuum and how easy it is to clean was just a plus! I strongly recommend this dyson for fellow vacuumers that like a clean house!

You are Talion, Ranger of the Black Gate. For what seems like eons, you have guarded the entrance to Mordor, keeping watch over Sauron's undisturbed dwelling place with relative uneventfulness. But in the blink of an eye, everything you hold dear is snatched from your grasp. Your family, your friends — even your very life is taken from you in one fell swoop that leaves your soul desolate and filled with an eternal rage. Resurrected by an unforgiving spirit, you have one purpose to your life, one thing that keeps your heart pumping and your mind from giving in to the relentless grief — vengeance. Prepare yourself to embark on a dogged vendetta that calls upon you to fight your way through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit who compels you. This epic tale of revenge and redemption transforms you into the most feared force in the land — the Shadow of Mordor.Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron's return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. Based on the player's actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion's personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.

A wonderful playing experience

I had a ton of fun playing this game. I personally struggle with RPG's because i usually hit a stalemate of boredom that i can never seem to get out of. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor kept me wanting more though. The fight sequences are spectacular and it's very satisfying to see your character perform a new execution move. There are numerous upgrades for your character and are very rewarding once you have unlocked them. I also enjoy the Sauron's army feature where you take out Uruk Captain's and slowly deplete the enemy's power (this gets better as the game goes on but i won't spoil what happens). For those who like the Assassins creed series, this game is very similar but not as boring. This is a fantastic game that i recommend to any lord of the rings fanatic, RPG lover, or just over action junkie. Wonderful game at an even better price!

Having grown up on Halo 2 and a ton of Halo 3, this game was a great addition to my Xbox One. Luckily it came with my console bundle cause i was going to buy it anyway. It's great having 4 different campaigns and they are constantly updating the multiplayer. If you grew up playing Halo or are looking to play them for the first time, this is a fantastic experience on the new generation Xbox.

The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience.The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play.The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later.PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita.All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update.Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply.PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

Very Disappointed
on July 5, 2015

I have now had two different PS4's. The first one was very laggy, loud, and the overall user experience was terrible. The second one i got after trading in the first one had it's audio completely fail. Being fed up, i switched to the Xbox One and never looked back. I like the exclusive games on the Xbox One more than the PS4 as well. I'm not sure about everyone else, but i had the worst luck with the ones i purchased. I strongly recommend doing your research and due diligence before purchasing one of the new generation consoles.

The best bang for your buck. No question.

I am completely flabbergasted how much TV you can get for 380 bucks. The picture is absolutely stunning with the 1080p and 120hz panel that allows movement and especially video games to move with ease. I also love that it's Energy star certified, can't go wrong with keeping the electric bill lower and saving energy! I was also very shocked how thin and light this TV is even though LED TV's are known for their thinness. The TV is easy to transport being that it's so ergonomically efficient. Also, the TV stand is sturdy and useful and the remote that is included is great! One heck of a TV at an even better price!

The best controllers on the market
on July 2, 2015
Posted by: bigtman
from Bloomington, Indiana
I LOVE the new Xbox One controllers. They fit perfectly in your hand and the buttons are extremely responsive and easy to activate. The triggers are a lot smoother than the ones used for the Xbox 360 and it actually fits your hand unlike the PS4 controllers. The midnight forces camouflage also looks pretty freaking sweet and mine has gotten numerous compliments from family and friends! Buy at least 3 to maximize fun with your friends!!

I have been an iPhone owner since the iPhone 4 was launched with Verizon and i have never looked back. Apple seems to outdo themselves launch after launch with the new iPhone and the iPhone 6 is no exception. The larger screen makes app usage a better experience, the new processor is extremely fast, has fantastic battery life, and the finger print scanner makes unlocking your phone a breeze while maintaining security. There really is no debate what the best phone on the market is. Definitely the iPhone 6.

This TV basically has it all. Smart technology that allows you internet access and gives you the possibility of using a ton of apps, great stock speakers, energy efficiency, very fast quad processor for app usage, an unbelievable picture, and LED lightness and slimness. It's an incredible buy for the low price.

The best console on the market.

All i can say is, WOW. The Xbox One is as good as they come. The graphics are overwhelmingly impressive, the audio crisp, and the processor is extremely fast. The Xbox One is virtually impossible to hear as it runs very quiet. The interface of the xbox dashboard is easy to navigate and useful. I use Netflix and HBO GO as well as playing games, chatting with friends, watching videos, and downloading new games. This console comes with a 1TB Hard-drive which is more than enough space. The Xbox One is a huge step up from the Xbox 360 and i suggest everyone upgrade today!

The best earbuds i have owned
on January 13, 2015
Posted by: bigtman
from Bloomington, Indiana
I have gone through my fair share of headphones. I had a pair of the Bose earbuds and to my disappointment they worked well until the left headphone blew. I also had a pair of Skull candy FMJ's that had pretty sub-par sound quality and i was not impressed with their top of the line product. I decided to give these Beats earbuds a try because my apple headphones lost their sound strength and i have been very impressed with my other Beats products: the wireless beat box and beats pro headphones. I am extremely glad i bought these. The cable is of very high quality and strength, rarely tangles, and features a useful microphone with different options. The actual earbuds are equally as impressive. Their sound is great from the highs, lows, and everything in between. I use these earbuds while walking to my classes and while i'm working out. While walking to class i don't hear the traffic or people around me at all and i can focus on my rich and crisp music. During my workout sessions my headphones never fall out of my ear because these earbuds come with multiple ear tip options and i found the one that fits the contours of my ear best and i also never hear the treadmill because they do such a great job isolating outside noise. In conclusion, these earbuds are worth every single penny spent. They have impressive looks, utility, sound, and durability. If you are looking for a pair of quality earbuds without breaking the bank, look no further!

This Escort Max 360 0100024-2 radar detector features USB connectivity, a smartphone app and connection to the DEFENDER database to provide you with up-to-date, real-time alerts. GPS AutoLearn technology isolates real signals from false alarms.
 

Laser Function... Going to guess this detector only detects Laser Function once a laser device/gun is activated. Hence you are caught unless a vehicle in front of you gets laser zapped and the detector detects that activity. Is this a correct assumption?

Yes. Works very well on interstates.

I have a Rocky Mountain Radar RMR-8RDS It is getting older. It is hard wired front & rear I have been protected & no tickets in almost 3 years. It offers rear protection from Radar also. Will this Escort max 360 offer rear protection & what range?

Hence the 360 name, it offers 360 protection. I have picked up radar about 3-4 miles out in all directions. Absolutely incredible technology.

How can it be mounted and where?

It comes with an incredible windshield mount and that works very well! I mounted it on my windshield just above my car's navigation system. You can also buy a kit to wire the car internally.

DORS IT COME WITH ANTIVIRUS

It has a firewall feature. So yes. Apple Products are notorious for being Virus Free.

Is there a new version of the Wii coming out?

The Wii U is the new next generation console. It's Nintendo's equivalent of the Xbox One and PS4. I personally recommend the Xbox One out of the three.

My kids have several game disc with a scratch in the same location and they think the machine is causing it. Is that possible?

Possibly, i do know if the console is moved while a disc is playing it can scratch and damage the disc. I personally downloaded the games to my hard rive and that way the disc doesn't actually run while the game is being played to prevent the disc from scratching. Hope that helps!
