SynopsisHordes of no-good cluckers are driving your farmer friend to want to fly the coop. Help him pick off the poultry and save his sanity in this crazy cartoon shooter. The addictive gameplay requires you to take down your winged adversaries with skill and precision. You'll have to lay down the law before the chickens completely rule the roost. Chicken Shoot takes you through forests, villages, deserts and mountains as you pursue your targets. The environments and characters have a comical, animated appearance that provides loads of deep-fried fun. As the missions get tougher, you'll need to improve your aim in order to hit your bird-brained enemies. Comical sound effects and catchy original songs add extra smiles and laughs to your Chicken Shoot experience.

Chicken Shoot was an impulse buy for me because I really like target-shooting type games.
The music is a bit catchy and the chickens are cute.
However, there is a limited number of game stages and while there are multiple difficulty levels are some bonus weapons (shotgun, machine gun, etc) the chicken appearance patterns get predictable and I have yet to see a chicken fly anything more than vertically or horizontally.
Chicken Shoot is cute - there's no blood or gore so it's okay for children if you're not anti-guns.
However, I find that the Target Practice mini-game in Wii Play is equally or even more entertaining.
If it's only sale for really cheap, maybe I'd consider purchasing it, but if not, wait for something better.
What's great about it: It's cute when the chickens mock you
What's not so great: Gets repetitive very quickly
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Read and write to two 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard drives or solid state drives at once with this Thermaltake BlacX ST0014U-C docking station, which offers a hot-swappable design to ensure rapid file transfers via the USB interface.
would my windows 10 pc detect this as a normal hdd if i bought this and a hard drive? idk if my specs are needed but they are intel core i7 3770 16gb ram amd radeon r7 370 graphics card (i think its msi) also would i be able to install games
It detects as a drive in Disk Management, under the ID "Jmicro SCSI device"
So it looks like what it is - a USB 3.0 to SATA bridge.
You can use it as a normal hard drive as long as your software doesn't reject removable media devices. If it does, there are ways to "trick" Windows to mounting a removable device as a fixed device, but if that's the case you should probably just get a fixed drive enclosure. This is meant more for folks who are swapping between drives often.

Will this clone the registered programs without having to re-register them (i.e.: a registered Office 2010 from one drive to another without having to re-register? I have a couple one time install programs I'd like to keep w/o buying them again)?
No, the dock does not have any duplication functionality, nor does it come with duplication software. It's just a dual-drive USB 3.0 dock for SATA drives.
Even with a bit-for-bit duplicator, unless you are simply replacing the drive in the same system, you will likely have to register or at least reactivate your software again. Software activation typically factors a number of things about the system - network MAC, CPU ID, etc.
Some software has the option to deactivate/unregister so you can reinstall it elsewhere. If your software is truly one-time install only licensed for the system it is initially installed on, you may not be able to use it on another machine even if you do manage to duplicate your drive.
Also, if you are migrating to a significantly different machine, your OS may not be able to even start up successfully on the new system.
For Office 2010 in particular, most times you can uninstall it on one system and install and activate it on another system, but if you do it too many times you'll have to call to get activated and may be denied depending on your license.
