Decent qualilty and price

Verified Purchase:Yes
They feel and look like normal cards if perhaps a bit harder to bend. Kinda useful for games that just give you daily money or items for scanning amiibo like Hyrule Warriors because they're easier to pull out than the figures. Buying a pack or two seems okay, but it'd be difficult to amass the entire set because each pack is random and boxes are not guaranteed to have all the cards.

Great mouse
on October 21, 2015
Posted by: Kiwin
Verified Purchase:Yes
Coming from the Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0, I'm very accustomed to using a rather large mouse. Unfortunately, most mice are rather small these days and it's difficult to find one with a similar shape and a centered optical sensor for under $60. The Steel Series Rival hit all those marks though. You can also download a program from the manufacturer's website that allows you to customize the sensitivity, buttons, and light on the mouse as well as having secondary settings that can be switched between by pressing the button just below the wheel.
Just two minor negatives: The texture of the rubber on the sides isn't exactly to my liking, but it's a minor issue and will probably wear down over time anyway. Also, the mouse wheel feels stiff and it made browsing online a bit difficult until I installed an add-on that allowed for more accelerated scrolling.

Great but a bit complicated

Verified Purchase:Yes
This phone was for my mother. She wanted the same kind of phone as I have so I could help her more easily if she had any issues with it. I had to explain a lot of the features of the phone to her, so I suppose it's a bit complicated for anyone who's not very tech savvy. So far, she likes most of the new features this phone has compared to her old Sony phone. She most enjoys the 16MP camera and found it easy to use once I explained to her what each symbol meant.

Another great odyssey
on August 31, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
This game is more of what makes the Etrian series great (exploration, map making, and challenging enemies). The grimoire system has been reworked to make it less annoying than in the first Untold game, and the characters in the story mode are more likeable. This game is an overall improvement over Untold and still a challenging game.

Custom Gotcha Core
on August 31, 2015
Posted by: Kiwin
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this game! You play as a kid in the not-so-far future where miniature robot gladiator fights are a popular toy for all ages and there's some bad guys trying to abuse the abnormally strong robot toys for their own benefit. It's a pretty simple story, but it's told much more effectively than say a Pokemon game. There's some voice acting and animated cutscense throughout the game. In general the voice acting is nice enough except for yells some NPCs make when they lose. While I enjoy the story, the gameplay and customization is what I enjoy the most.
There is a lot of customization between 9 types of weapons each with two or three subtypes, parts for your robot (head, each arm, torso, and legs), special attacks, core parts (cpu battery, motor, etc.), and items you can equip for battle. There are 133 robot models each with 5 parts and they come in different colors and three different grades (higher grades have more defense but take more exp to level up). You can even reinforce or lighten your parts later in the game to give yourself more defense or speed. There's about 420 weapons and 89 shields although you'd probably only use the best available one for the subtype you want to use.
The gameplay is mostly like an RPG except when it comes to the battles. You fight against 1-3 opponents alone or with two of your teammates. To win you usually just have to make your opponent run out of HP first although some matches are based on which team has three knockdowns first. Before each battle you can customize your robot to be better equipped for the opponent as each type of armor has some weakness and strengths and weapons deal different kinds of damage. Battling is simple with Y (plus an optional direction on the circle pad) for attacks, X for the items menu (you can only bring three kinds of items), A for dashing, B for jumping, L for guarding, and R for the special attacks menu (the controls cannot be changed). To attack and dash, you use up part of a stamina gauge that will quickly replenish if you stop dashing or attacking for a bit. Special attacks require use of another gauge that fills up as you do and take damage.
My only complaint with the game is that they maintenance feature is rather useless. If your maintenance gauge runs out by battling too much or by losing an Unlimited regulations match, you just stop earning experience points for your armor. You can easily refill the gauge at any time because grease is given out like candy and you can refill it for free at any parts shop.

Pretty nice earbuds
on August 31, 2015
Posted by: Kiwin
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought these because I wanted something a bit nicer than the Skullcandy earbuds I've been using for a few years. I was pleasantly surprised that they came with a little fabric carrying pouch. While these Sony earbuds do sound better than my Skullcandy ones, I wasn't very impressed by the "Extra Bass". What I liked most was how well these earbuds fit me and how well they blocked out sound at a midrange volume setting. The mic and button (used for answering calls, play, pause, and double click for next track) work just fine, but the button is a bit small. Overall I'm happy with the purchase

Mario amiibo 2.0

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's another Mario amiibo for some reason. It works just like the Smash Mario amiibo, but looks different. I'm not sure why, but all of the ones I've seen of this version of the Mario amiibo have an unusually red face on him. The Luigi one looks normal in comparison, so I wonder what happened?

Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.~ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.

Hated this mouse
on August 31, 2015
Posted by: Kiwin
Verified Purchase:Yes
My Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0 finally stopped working, and I decided to buy this mouse because of the hyper scrolling feature and three year battery life. I ended up hating everything else about it. After two hours of use, my hand was starting to cramp up from using it. I learned in those two hours that the laser sensor did not compare at all with the optical sensor I was accustomed to using. In addition, I learned that the sensor was set all the way to the left of the mouse making it extremely difficult to control precisely after always having used a mouse with a centered sensor. The acceleration also felt extremely odd. The wheel on the mouse, as much as I liked how the low friction scrolling felt, was horribly inaccurate. Setting the wheel into its click spin mode, it would scroll through pages SLOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWLLLLLYYYYY at 1 line per click. I tried to changing it to 2 and 3 lines per click, but then there was just not enough precision for me.
After those issues, I downloaded and installed the SetPoint program from Logitech to see if it would allow me to fix any of the issues and to try out the side buttons. First of all, DO NOT USE THE ZOOM FEATURE ON THE DESKTOP! It made all my icons bigger really quickly because I had the hyper scroll on, and my desktop ended up a big mess. Other than that, the options for the programmable buttons seemed okay. There were some options for changing the sensor and wheel sensitivity, but neither really fixed any of the issues I was having. I was just given different kind of issues with the scrolling becoming faster, but I would have to move up or down two or three times before a page I was looking at online would actually start to move. The sensor on the other hand would just not feel right no matter what acceleration (none, low, mid, or high) and sensitivity I would choose.
I'm returning this mouse and looking for a larger one with a centered optical sensor.

Excellent phone
on August 31, 2015
Posted by: Kiwin
Verified Purchase:Yes
Coming from a two year old phone, the G4 is a fantastic upgrade for me. Everything seems quick and responsive, and the screen looks great. The 16MP camera takes wonderful photos and has several useful setting for making the picture look just right in the manual mode, but it doesn't explain things very well (I had to look up what some icons meant online from other people who have the phone) and you can't lower the resolution of photos to take them more quickly or just to save some memory. After using it for more than a month, I have not had any significant problems with it. The only technical issue I've had is that sometimes the knock feature for turning on the screen (a double tap) doesn't seem to respond on the first try. I'm not entirely sure if it's just an error on my part though. Also, about 15GB of the internal memory is taken up by the operating system and preinstalled things although just about all the preinstalled apps can be disabled easily.

Interesting story except the ending

The story is interesting, but some things are left unanswered at the end. Although the characters aren't memorable, their individual situations and what they have to deal with is. This DVD set doesn't include any extras, has no dubbing, and yellow subs are a bit ugly.

Enjoy your music with these Sony Extra Bass MDRXB950BT/B headphones, which feature Electronic Bass Boost circuitry for deep low-end sound. Bluetooth technology with AAC and aptX support allows easy wireless pairing with compatible devices.
 

Can these be used for a TV?

They can be used for a TV if the TV has Bluetooth audio or a Bluetooth audio transmitter attached. The headphones are APTX compatible so there should be negligible latency between the visuals and the audio. You can also use a long cable to connect to the headphone jack of the TV, but you must connect to the included cable (use a female to male 3.5mm cable) because the end that goes into the headphones is proprietary and won't allow any other other 3.5mm jack to go in. Also, the bass boost feature is only available when using Bluetooth.

Any 3.0 or higher Bluetooth adapater should work with these headphones, but if it's not an aptX bluetooth adapter, you will notice a significant amount of delay between visuals and sound if you try watching videos. Some programs will allow you to adjust for such delays, but it's annoying to do so every time you want to watch something. You'll also want to use the adapter with only the headphones to reduce interference.
