Ink-splatting action is back and fresher than everThe squid kids called Inklings are back to splat more ink and claim more turf in this colorful and chaotic 4-on-4 action shooter. For the first time, take Turf War battles on-the-go with the Nintendo Switch™ system, and use any of the console’s portable play styles for intense local multiplayer* action. Even team up for new 4-player co-op fun in Salmon Run!Expect a fresh wave of fashion, not to mention new weapons and gear. Dual wield the new Splat Dualies or stick to mainstays like chargers and rollers, which have been remixed with new strategic possibilities. As always, Turf War is the favored sport among Inklings, but they also dig ranked battles, taking down Octarians in a robust single-player campaign, and battling enemy Salmonids in one dangerous part-time job! No matter which way you play, splat at home or on-the-go with Nintendo Switch. Staying fresh never felt so good.*Additional games and systems required for multiplayer mode.

Solid, Solid Game.

If you haven't played the original Splatoon, you're in for a treat. This has all of the goodness of the original, and a few extra bonuses. (IMO, the original Splatoon was the best game for the Wii U.)
The bad news is that if you had already played the original, Splatoon 2 is little more than a port. But the game is so good, that this isn't really a huge negative.
The online play is great and much tighter than the original. The downside of this is that the voice support is lame as heck. (Just use dischord to chat with your friends while you play.)
The biggest new feature is Salmon Run. This is a new coop mode. Sadly, it's not available all of the time. But the good news is that if you play locally with your friends, you can have local games.
Bottom line: Great game, though there is still a good amount of room for improvement.

Easy to set up and smoking fast speeds!

I love this router. I was able to unbox it and get it running in about 20 minutes.I did some speed tests with my previous router and it was hitting around 95 Mbps down. With this, I was able to pull in 230 Mbps down (and that is a consistent number over the last three weeks).
Plenty of speed and two different bands means that none of the devices in my house have a hard time getting the data that they need. I could not be happier with this product.

Solid upgrade from Charge HR.
on December 15, 2016
Posted by: Phil
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got the Blaze, thinking that it would be a good replacement for the HR. I didn't like the HR because it didn't really show a lot of information on the display. The Blaze is being enough that it displays a lot all at once.
Pros:
+ Large, intuitive interface.
+ Great colors on the interface.
+ Love the features where it'll track the run on my phone and give me a map.
+ The Display will show all of the important things on the wake up screen.
+ The Fit star mini exercises are kinda cute. (I'm not sure how much of a gimmick these are; I might not wind up using them for very long.)
+ Interchangeable bands are awesome. At work out time, I'll use the plastic band. Then, when going out to dinner, I'll slip it into the leather strap. I didn't think that I would dig that, but I really like it.
+ The battery has a really good life. I went about 3 days between charges last week and it was still at about 50%.
+ Snapping the watch into the charger is nice. I know that it's charging. (After a few months with the HR, sometimes the charging cable would come lose and I wouldn't have a charge for the day. Grr... Not the case with the Blaze!)

Cons:
+ The sensitivity of the touch screen is just kinda OK. On the main screen, if you tap your steps, it'll cycle to the next stat (like floors climbed, calories burned, etc), but my fingers are big enough that I can't hit it consistently n the first try.
+ Notifications are kind of a pain. I've set a *lot* of thing to go to the watch. The problem is that I have to scroll through ALL of them to get to the bottom to clear them. I kinda wish that there was a button that says "Hey, I know about all of these notifications, just clear them all. (There is a clear button but it's WAY at the bottom.)
+ Compared to the HR, it seems like the floor counting is a little low.
+ You have to take the watch out of the strap to charge it. That's definitely a drag.
+ The charging interface takes an initial snapshot of the battery and then it doesn't update until it is completely charged. I would hope that it would update as the charge increases.
+ Twice (in about 6 weeks of use) it stopped synching the steps altogether. This might be a problem that I had multiple devices synching or maybe my app was the problem. I've reinstalled the Fitbit app on my phone and it seems to be working now.

Overall, I'm VERY happy with the Blaze. One thing to note going in is that this is NOT a smart watch. That is to say, you cannot install Apps on it (like you can with an Apple Watch or Samsung's Gear). However, I wanted to be notified who was calling, the contents of text messages, notifications of emails, and the normal Fitbit step counting/heart rate tracking/sleep tracking/etc functionality. On all of those fronts, complete success.

Great Value, kids didn't dig it.

I had bought these DVDs for a road trip for the kids. I *love* Wallace and Grommet, so I figured that these would have been a good deal. It never really captured the kids' attention though. Kinda sad. But that just means that I get to watch them by myself once the kids go to bed. :)

I got these DVDs spur of the moment for the kids to watch during a road trip. They *loved* them. Now, I can't say that they have all of the classic bits on them (no Tazmanian Devil? Come on!), but great value for the price.

Great Phone!

This phone is great. I got this phone for my wife, who does not like to mess around with any tech. Because you cannot open the phone up to add memory or change out a battery, life is nice and simple with this phone. She had upgraded to this phone from a Samsung Galaxy S3 and this is WAY better than that phone. No contest. Fast processor, great resolution, very responsive.

This phone is great. I had upgraded to this phone from a Samsung Galaxy S5 so that I could get onto Google Fi. It woks great. Fast processor, great resolution, very responsive.
The things that I *don't* like are that you can't open it up to add memory or to swap out a battery. I hate not being able to expand/upgrade that. The 64 GB version seems to have enough room to store everything, and enough juice to get through the day. So, it's not a big deal right now, but we'll see how things work in about a year.

I am using these batteries to power my Wii U remotes and they seem to hold their charge for a good long while. Getting the 24 pack definitely keeps me supplied for quite some time. No problems at all.

Wish it was really multiplayer
on September 5, 2016
Posted by: Phil
Verified Purchase:Yes
The controls of this game are a little complicated out of the gate. You have to watch the TV to steer the ship and then use the game pad to aim while firing. It takes a bit to get used to, but I love that we get to use the motion sensor and the screen on the game pad.
The multiplayer is... well, kinda broken. To play multiplayer, the one person steers the ship with a wiimote and nunchuck. The other person fires. Its a *real* PITA when you are in a dogfight. (The gunner will have a hard time shooting correctly when the pilot is flipping around trying to over maneuver the guy that you're trying to dog fight.)
All in all, pretty good and I am still getting used to the controls, but it's fun enough that I'm still playing it.

I had the Best Buy team do the installation for me when I got a new washer and drier. This was part of the hardware that I had to buy to finish the installation. It seems to be working without a problem and the installation went smoothly, so I am very happy with this purchase.

Is this men's or womens?
This is a unisex device. It looks good on both women and men. :-)
I will say that it's a pretty big watch, so it might look better on men than women, but that's just a taste thing. (Be sure to measure your wrist for the band though. I had not done that and assumed that I needed a Large since I needed a Large with my Fitbit Charge HR, but I think that I probably could have just gotten away with a Medium.)

I am wondering why this Frost coloured phone price is lower than the other Nexus 6P phones. Does it have less features than the others?
I bought a graphite and a frost one on the same day (one for me and one for my wife). I have noticed no differences in between the hardware, outside of the color.

Is this phone compatible with google fi service?
Yes. I purchased this phone specifically to get on Google Fi network. Great choice!
(One thing to note is that when you do sign up for Google Fi, it'll take about a week to get to you. So, make sure to sign up before buying the phone or you'll be sitting on hardware for a bit.)
