Have you ever asked yourself what our world would be like if history had unfolded differently? Have you ever wondered what would happen if one link in the chain of events was reversed? What if, for example, the Nazis had won World War II? The answer is that the face of this planet would be forever changed, irrevocably damaged. The year is 1960 and the worst has happened. The Nazis turned the tide of World War II in their favor with a new, mysterious brand of advanced weaponry that, along with unrelenting force and intimidation, brought even the most powerful nations to their knees. Who among this conquered planet has the courage to stand up to the merciless regime? What man has the guts and the skills to save the world from the grip of this iron fist? You are B.J. Blazkowicz, American war hero, and you are the only man capable of rewriting history. Only you can save us all.Launch the most daring counter-offensive in history in Wolfenstein: The New Order, a game that puts you up against oversize Nazi robots, hulking Super Soldiers and elite shock troops in intense first-person combat. Break into hidden research facilities and heavily guarded weapons stashes to find out where the Nazi's advanced technology came from, and level the playing field by upgrading your own tools of destruction with what you find. From mountaintop car chases to underwater exploration, Wolfenstein: The New Order cultivates an unbelievably exhilarating adventure with high-octane action and an immersive game narrative, created by a group of seasoned developers at MachineGames and rendered in stunning detail with the id Tech 5 engine. So if you think you have the heart and the daring of a hero, go up against this terrifying Nazi regime and restore history to its rightful place.

Awesome Game

While I was gong through the 2 hour+ install process, I had some time to read other reviews on other sites. People were complaining about freezing screens, low refresh rates and glitchy graphics. I guess the fix corrected it. After I installed the 4 disks on the PC, Steam came up and did another 90 minute update. Any glitches were apparently fixed in the patch. I maxed out the settings, cranked up the volume and created some chaos, BJ style. I like the fact you get to make choices to change how the game play goes and I found the challenges, well challenging. Apparently I'm not a stealthy person. You will see when you play it. At the price it's totally worth the money. I'll admit I was rather disappointed when I heard I was not getting my panzherhound, but I'll use the $5 gift card at some point.
My Best Buy number: 0400716877
What's great about it: Good price with the $20 in Bonus points
What's not so great: takes awhile to install, but worth the wait
I would recommend this to a friend!

I build my own computers, and with my last one I decided not to include any WIFI since it's LAN connected. Well when my ISP Cable connection failed and I needed to get access, I culd always use my DSL backup. Except it's on the other side of my house. Needed an adapter fast. Did some research, found what I wanted, ordered online for in-store pickup and it was ready when I got to the store. From order to installation was less than 1 hour. Can't beat Best Buy for availability, selection, and prices.

SURFboards keep getting better

I have had SURFboard modems for years. They always work great and last for years (until lightening gets them). This was easy to set up, 8x faster than my previous model, and as always a great Best Buy price.

They may look cute, but there's nothing nice about the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This fighting frenzy will have you inflicting painful KO's on familiar opponents you thought were your friends. Take your frustrations out on Link, Mario and other characters from throughout the gaming world. Shoot spaceships out of the sky in the Lylat System from the Star Fox games and deal out killer blows in Rumble Falls based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.Hit opponent after opponent to build up your damage meter, then knock your enemies clear off the screen. Rely on weapons that are silly but very effective, such as banana peels, pitfalls, gooey bombs and many more. Hurl old-school crates and barrels or select from Assist Trophies and Poke Balls to strike fear in the hearts of your foes. Combine Standard, Strong and Smash attacks to bash your way to victory. There are so many ways to smash, you'll get lost in the melees for hours on end.

keep getting disconnected from network

I have an Asus RT-AC66R router with a range extender. currently we have hooked up to the network 3 laptops, 2 pc towers, DirecTV on big screen with genies hooked up to 4 smaller TV's in office and bedroom, Samsung refrigerator that requires internet access plus an Xbox One. Over the last month at least 2 devices (Direct TV and my laptop and occasionally my son's PC tower) are loosing connection to the router and we are having to reboot the router at least 3 or 4 times/week. This router was installed about a year ago.

I'm just wondering if this particular router is not sufficient to handle the load we are putting on it.
Does is happen at the same time of day ? My ISP refreshes their IP address pool at 3:30pm every day so they have room for the people who work during the day to have a port so they can surf at night. I live in a college town, so the kids go out after classes and I guess the idea was to refresh around 3:30pm. Well... I ran into the Regional Manager for the ISP at a charity event and expressed my concerns. After a week the 3:30pm drops stopped. Hmmmm....

Is a hotspot best for laptop

I'm trying to figure out which to buy (portable hotspot,wi-fi stick) to get internet connection for my laptop
If I really need access, I use the hotspot feature on my smartphone. Other than that I am really happy with the Cisco Dual Band USB adapter I just purchased. Can't beat Cisco for quality and it works awesome.. fast too..
