Not a standard Zelda Game

This game is good but it's great when you play with friends. The solo game lacks the character of the previous solo LOZ games but the multiplayer mode makes up for it in a big way. The multiplayer version didn't even have to be a Zelda game. Gather your friends and have a great time!

Fun movie although a bit contrived and predictable

Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall a pleasant movie with enough laugh out loud parts to make it worth re-watching. The blob dude is funny so it makes the Blobby edition worthwhile as well. The characters are enjoyable and they seemed to remain true from the first movie to the second. I'm an adult and I enjoyed it despite the sappy happy ending which is pretty standard fare for a kid's movie.

Fun but Flawed
on December 17, 2015
Posted by: Sharkly

Verified Purchase:Yes
As a fan of the Halo franchise, I had high hopes for this game. Visually, it's pretty but not awe inspiring and certainly not enough to warrant ditching split screen mode which is one of the cornerstones of the Halo games. The lack of split screen is also one of the biggest flaws a AAA title can have. A console that costs no less than $350, a TV that costs about the same and another copy of the game is the price you have to pay for two people in the same house to play at the same time. Heaven forbid three people in the same house want to play... That just shows how little the game's development and distribution teams care about the players. The biggest disappointment by far is not playing as Master Chief all the way through or even just the same character. I realize it's just my opinion but switching characters in a game ruins the continuity and immersion. "Oh, I guess I'm this guy now..." vastly reduces the investment in the character you are supposed to be. The armor still has the generic feel of Halo 4 unlike Halo Reach where the armor was updated but still had the Halo feel. Halo 4 and Halo 5 armor could almost be in any other game. When it comes to the graphics, 343 seems married to "shiny = better". Before 343, Halo had sort of a gritty organic beauty. Everything in Halo 5 feels synthetic and has too much definition, shine and glare. It feels like nothing was ever used before the player got there. It's still a fun game but my guess is that most people will stop playing it within 6 months of their purchase.

Who Needs a Harmony Remote? YOU DO!

I've owned 5 Harmony remotes and I still use all 5. Easy setup? You bet! Plug it into your computer, punch in your components and click update. Don't like something? Customize it! Then everything is one button to activate. Watch a blu ray, play CDs, watch TV all with the click of a single button and all the correct components turn on and all the others turn off.

I started out somewhat skeptical that a keyboard could make my gaming experience that much better but I took the plunge. All I can say is WOW! Sure, it's fun to change the colors of the keys and it's REALLY fun to change the colors of individual keys. However, the real meat of this keyboard is the keys themselves. Quieter than Razer keyboards, the keys give a solid feel and mechanical click that is extremely satisfying. Every keystroke is solid and the keys themselves guide your fingers right to the middle which has actually improved my typing accuracy and game performance. Mashing two keys at the same time has been dramatically reduced thanks to the way the keys are formed. The macro keys are solid, responsive and easy to program. While the software is a teeny tiny bit less intuitive than I'd like, by no means does it detract from the overall experience. I would SO buy this keyboard again.

Doesn't Really Do Anything
on June 2, 2015
Posted by: Sharkly
Verified Purchase:Yes
Seems to track steps, kind of, but other than that it doesn't really do anything. From what I can tell, if you don't remember to sync, it adds the steps starting from your last sync to your current sync even if it was two different days. Yesterday I only took 1000 steps (not even close) but by first thing in the morning I've already taken over 4000 steps (again, not even close). I exercise on an elliptical 30 minutes twice a day and the "active calories" never goes above 10. Well, that is not really helpful now is it? It also doesn't really track sleep. It's weird that it guesses that I start sleeping shortly after my evening exercise when I'm obviously up for another couple of hours but it does a pretty good job of guessing when I wake up. The unit syncs every time you press the button but I'd be embarrassed to use the social media functionality because it looks like I don't exercise and I sleep for 10+ hours a day. The app is pretty weak but given that the unit doesn't really do a good job tracking activity, it probably doesn't need much more functionality. In all, it looks like they didn't even really try to make an activity tracker, they just tried to make something that looks like an activity tracker.

Slide back behind the wheel of an iconic driving game with Need for Speed Payback. Intense visual and performance customization mean you can create a one-of-a-kind vehicle to take on the streets of Fortune City. Play as Tyler, Mac or Jess in Need for Speed Payback, and challenge friends to epic racing battles.
Is this a trial or the full game and is it the platinum, deluxe or standard edition?
It's a straight console port. If you like getting PC games because you like to have the better graphics and wide range of controller support, you will be very disappointed with this game. As a straight console port you don't get enhanced graphics and there aren't really any options for controllers outside of console controllers. If you have an Xbox One, I'd recommend skipping the PC version and stick with the microtransaction heavy action in the console version.

Which laptops are available bloatware free?
I don't know if Best Buy sells laptops free of Bloatware but if any of them have the Microsoft Signature Experience logo, those will be without bloatware. Certain laptops have ferocious bloatware. I have an HP laptop that mysteriously started having all sorts of issues and eventually became unusable almost immediately after the warranty expired. From my perspective the installed bloatware on HP systems may include a time bomb that starts chewing up system resources but there is no way to actually prove that so it's entirely speculation. I run a good size IT department and I know how to maintain a computer so take that for what it's worth. I also have a Dell laptop and most of the bloatware is at least configurable for minimal interference.

Chefman Express 2.5L Air Fryer : Quickly prepare fried favorites like shrimp and onion rings with this air fryer, which features adjustable temperature control and a 30-minute timer for flexible cooking. The dishwasher-safe basket makes cleanup quick and easy.
How many quarts?
This is not really the kind of fryer you would measure in quarts. The basket is probably two quarts but if you fill it up with anything it won't get crisp. The unit isn't a fryer, it's a convection oven. If you want something to get crisp like you would get from an oil fryer, you should probably stick with an oil fryer. It works great on things like frozen tater tots or other frozen foods like fish sticks, crab cakes and stuff like that but it's not for making fresh french fries or fried breaded zucchini. I use mine a lot but not as a substitute for a deep fryer. Hope that helps.

Why every time I buy something it goes on sale the next day. Could have saved $20. Why me.
Typically they will make a price adjustment for you. Take your receipt to customer service and if it's been a reasonable amount of time, they will return the product and then sell it to you again at the lower price without even having to package it up and bring it back. They do this because there is a 15 day return policy which left them with a lot of open box items. All ya gotta do is ask!

does this device track cycling
It doesn't track exercise on an elliptical so I'm going to say it probably doesn't track cycling even worse than it doesn't track elliptical. At least on the elliptical it adds steps to your step counter. It really doesn't "track" much else and what it does "track" is not very accurate.

Does this work on Apple phones?
If you mean does the app run on iOS, then yes. If you're asking if it actually works like an activity tracker, my opinion is no. You can read my review under the name Sharkley.
