In The Sims 3, you got the opportunity to throw open the doors and explore the neighborhood — well in The Sims 4, it's time to look within the mind, body and heart of your Sims for an amazingly rich and incredibly lifelike story that you won't forget. The beauty of The Sims is that it simulates life and hands the controls over to you, but what is life without emotion? For the first time, your Sims feel and express emotions with a diverse range and depth that can be influenced by other Sims, actions, memories or even the clothing and objects you choose. What could be more true to life than that?With intelligence and emotional depth, your Sims will move, behave and interact more naturally than ever before. From multitasking to expressing their mood through the way they walk, your Sims continually show a greater depth of character that creates a world of possibilities for rich, interesting stories. Choose your Sims' personalities and select their aspirations, then walk with them down the path toward their lifelong goals through their thoughts, social skills, careers and memories. Besides a greater wealth of emotion, The Sims 4 delivers an array of exciting new features, such as a powerful Create-a-Sim mode that gives you the freedom to sculpt Sims with tactile precision and a new room-based Build mode to help you construct the home of your dreams. Vibrant new neighborhoods give you a diverse and brilliant variety of lots, while new objects, outfits and traits motivate you to complete events, discover collectibles and unlock achievements. Share it all with your fellow Sims-lovers and download community creations for an all-new look. The Sims 4 inspires greater creativity and longevity from you while delivering deep intelligence and emotion for an unforgettable simulation experience that brings your stories to life.

As a pilot, battling for control of the Frontier in Titanfall, you rely on your most important sense — hearing. It's important for you to be able to anticipate danger before it's too late. When you can't see your enemy face-to-face, you have to hone in on the surrounding sounds — the reverberations of an enemy's footfall, the voices of your teammates and other acoustic clues, which could be the only things that keep you alive. When you're immersed in gameplay, sound is important, and this Ear Force Atlas Official Gaming Headset brings the soundscape of Titanfall to life in stunning, dynamic detail.Designed for Xbox One and compatible with Xbox 360 and Windows, this headset works with every version of Titanfall, so you can envelop yourself in the electrifying audio of your favorite game thanks to the full-range 50mm speakers. Add depth and punch to your game's audio with built-in Bass Boost. Adjust the game and chat volumes until you achieve a mix that suits your preferences, and easily mute the microphone when you don't want to be heard. Stay in clear vocal contact with your fellow pilots with the high-quality removable microphone and use the microphone monitor feature, which lets you hear your own voice in the headset to help you avoid shouting. Game in total comfort thanks to the twist-cup design that consists of rotatable earcups with breathable mesh cushions, so you can wear the headset around your neck. Take the headset with you for mobile gaming on a compatible cell phone, tablet or other portable device. With this Titanfall Ear Force Atlas Official Gaming Headset, you'll be ready for any action headed your way.

The headphones are good, and have good quality sound, but they are missing the mic volume feature so you cannot hear yourself talk.

The art of war may be thousands of years old, but on the battlegrounds of the future combat has become a big business. Where men and women once stood in defense of their nation the employees of Private Military Corporations (PMCs) are deployed, armed with the latest technologies and an arsenal of advanced weapons. Soldiers no longer need to specialize in any area of combat — equipped with powerful exoskeletons, they become the masters of all battlefield skills. In this new age of privatized combat, one PMC stands at the forefront of the industry, the juggernaut Atlas Corporation. Founded and led by Jonathan Irons, perhaps the most powerful man in the world, Atlas Corporation represents the evolution of modern combat. Under the oversight of Irons and men like him, the rules of warfare have been completely rewritten, and national borders change with the demands of the highest bidders. Do you have what it takes to navigate this ever-changing military landscape and answer the Call of Duty?The latest installment in the popular combat series, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare plunges you into the combat of the future, orchestrated and fought by PMCs with the latest technology in armor, weaponry and tactics. Enter the world of Jonathan Irons — the founder and president of the world's most dominant PMC, Atlas Corporation — in a powerful performance by Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey. Step onto the battlefield in a powerful exoskeleton that provides a massive force multiplier, delivers strategic freedom and enhances even the most adept soldier's abilities with optimized movement, jumping and grappling, covert cloaking abilities and biomechanics that take your strength, awareness, endurance and speed to the next level. Destroy opposing forces with an advanced arsenal that allows you to dominate the battlefield and all-new equipment, abilities and perks that put you at the forefront of combat technology. Conduct missions with hoverbikes, highly specialized drones and other new vehicles that enhance your mobility. Attack enemy forces with tried-and-true standard ammunition or step up your assault with new directed-energy weapons. The future of war is upon you — are you ready to play your part?

You've helped them rise from the 3rd Street Saints gang on the mean streets of Stilwater to the high-rises and penthouses of Steelport while becoming a major worldwide crime syndicate. Now, set your sights on the ultimate prize for control of the free world — the office of President of the United States. But with most ventures involving the Saints, there is a wrinkle in the plan. When a horde of intergalactic aliens invade Earth, you and your fellow Saints become trapped in an insane simulation — an alternate Steelport. Will you be able to fight back against your otherworldly captors and break Zinyak's mental grasp on your fellow Earthlings?The destruction is more explosive, the weaponry is more powerful, the storyline is more bizarre and the superpowers are more — wait, superpowers? That can mean only one thing — the Saints are back for another chapter of the thrilling, volatile and insane saga in Saints Row IV. Abducted by intergalactic aliens, the Saints must fight to free themselves and humanity from Zinyak's mental hold. Arm yourself with an arsenal of alien weaponry and technology to unleash deadly and destructive thrills. Learn, harness and channel unbelievable superpowers to fight your way to the top. Leap over tall buildings, speed past the fastest cars or toss your enemies about willy-nilly with telekinesis. Get ready for the craziest and most explosive Saints storyline yet.

One minute, you're Emmett, just an unassuming guy trying to get through his day-to-day life as a person with his head down and his feet on the ground.

Using all the resources and know-how at your disposal, it's up to you to overthrow the cruel ruler and save all of LEGO-kind.Choose your character from more than 90 unique LEGO people as you traverse through the dense LEGO universe with a fellowship of strangers, all while collecting one-of-a-kind items to build the world of your dreams. Construct massive structures as you wind through worlds — your only limitation is your own imagination. It's like getting to play with LEGOs without having to clean them up.

Overall this is a good game but it is a little buggy. Some modules freeze. Also don't like that some modules are only single player. The kids like to play together so when one has to sit out it ruins the fun a bit.

Good but Microsoft needs to fix party chat issue

Beyond the game being great, I just have a general gripe with Microsoft and how they approached this whole xbox one push out. Party chat in game doesn't work, you cannot use previously used headphones, unless you buy the magical Microsoft adapter. Ridiculous. They are starting to remind me of Apple.

Add versatility to your wireless Apple in-ear headphones with these convenient Insignia AirPods (1st and 2nd Generation) accessories. The ear hooks keep the AirPods securely attached to your ears while on the move, and the silicone cord keeps them together. These Insignia AirPods accessories include high-quality tips in three sizes to customize your fit.
 

Can these hooks be used on the regular non wireless ear phones they Iphone comes standard with?

No. You wouldn't be able to get them on the bottom of each ear piece, unless you folded the wire up into it and I think that would be messy and not worth it.

Metal means power, and this metal watchband for the Fitbit Blaze gives you a dominating accessory. Metal links feel smooth against your skin and frame the Fitbit Blaze to keep it absolutely secure, even when you receive notifications from your smartphone. Enjoy the complete water resistance of this metal watchband for the Fitbit Blaze.
 

Is it waterproof? Can you go swimming with it?

Its a stainless steel band so probably not a problem, however the Blaze documentation suggest NOT swimming with it. It's water resistant, but not water proof.

Can the band be changed?

You don't buy it with the stainless steel band, what you are looking at is just the band. You buy the Blaze first then whatever bands you want (like the SS band as an example). Very easily to switch the Blaze between bands.

SoundLink® Mini Bluetooth® speaker II delivers full sound with dramatically deeper lows than you'd expect from a speaker that fits in the palm of your hand. And because it's wireless and ultra-compact, it's easy to take Bose® sound anywhere. With the built-in speakerphone you can take calls out loud with clear sound. And voice prompts make Bluetooth pairing easy. The SoundLink® Mini II can play unplugged for hours and be charged from most USB power sources.
 

Can two blu tooth Bose speakers be used at the same time using the same source for music(iPad for example) ?

I am wonderig if I can use a second speaker in an adjacent room while playing music from my Iphone, etc. Can two Blu Tooth Boste speakers be linked somehow? LIke one in the kitchen and one in the dining room at the same time?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide...
No not really. You would want Wi-Fi speakers, something like Sonos or even something Bose might offer (that isn't Bluetooth). Plus Bluetooth range is limited to about 30 feet so you would have problems there I'm sure.

This Insignia™ NS-PD94502 adapter allows you to connect your computer's DisplayPort interface to an HDMI type-A input and supports up to 1920 x 1080p resolution, so you can enjoy sharp visuals.
 

HDMI to laptop

My laptop does not have an HDMI port. I need to plug an adapter into the USB port so that I can connect an HDMI cable. Is this the correct device?
No, this is USB to DISPLAYPORT which is not HDMI.

Put new ram and it won't work

Purchased a 8 GB ram for my Dell desktop slim line. Specs said to install DDR3L ram.
Fit easy, but when I powered up it computer would beep. Two times and then three times.
What does the beeping mean. Bad Ram?
Dell has specific RAM requirements and you will have to look it up. PNY, CORSAIR, and Kingston are good sites to check. You type in your exact model Dell and it will tell you which module to buy.

if you know you bought the right one then either the RAM isn't sitting right in the clip or it's bad RAM. Also make sure you are not putting too much RAM in (there are limits per motherboard so check your manual. Even if the manual says it takes up to 8GB RAM, you might not be able to put it all one one stick - you would need two 4GB etc).
