My best set of ear buds yet
on August 30, 2010
Posted by: sthunder2132
from Portage, MI
Though I can't speak to the durability of this product, I'm very happy with the sound quality of these ear buds for the price. I purchased them about three days ago and haven't found any issues yet. After some messing with the different gels I settled on the medium sized ones. Picking the right gel seems to be the biggest influence on sound quality. The small ones sounded very tinny because they didn't create a good seal with my ears. The largest ones sounded just like any other ear buds because they made a seal, but a very shallow seal.
My only complaint with these is that one of earbuds (can't tell you which because they're not labeled left or right) makes a clicking sound when I press on it. It sounds like a mouse click and is decently annoying when trying to sleep.
What's great about it: Sound quality
What's not so great: weird click sound when you press on one of the buds
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not bad dynex, not bad at all
on October 3, 2009
Posted by: sthunder2132
from Portage, MI
So here's the weird thing. This fan on the website has the same SKU as one that is carried in the store. They have different model numbers, the one in the store moves more air, and is quieter. Same exact SKU number though. Anyways...
I purchased the one in the stores, the one with only the 4 pin molex connector. That was not expected but still ok. It has a splitter on it so I wasn't out a 4 pin, but I was hoping to have the direct connection to my motherboard. I replaced an aging antec fan with this one and was very pleasantly surprised when I turned on my PC and it was quieter than it has ever been. I can actually hear my TV again! Also the Antec I replaced was a LED fan which I was forced to buy at a local shop, I've always hated walking out into the living room and seeing the night lit up by my computer. Now using this little fan I have silence and a dark room.
It also moves a ton of air. My case temperature dropped by about 3 degrees.
What's great about it: Quiet as all get out
What's not so great: only has 4 pin molex connection
I would recommend this to a friend!

My least favorite song is the best
on August 26, 2009
Posted by: sthunder2132
from Kalamazoo, MI
Joey is by far the best song on this album. If you heard it on the radio and figured "maybe there's other great stuff on there too!" then you'd be wrong. Even as it is Joey is over-played and has become something that causes me to switch stations whenever it comes on. If you have a radio then you can find better music for free. Avoid this album.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Album for the alternative listner
on June 29, 2009
Posted by: sthunder2132
from Kalamazoo, MI
I discovered this band when I heard the song Major Tom was featured in a Lincoln MKZ commercial. Though this album does not feature that song, I discovered a band that I liked quite a bit. If I could compare them to any other band it'd be like mixing The Postal Service and Coldplay started working with Gwen Stefani. It's a weird combo, but it works pretty well for me. Some heavy beats as well as quite a bit of melody and a very smooth alternative mix :)
What's great about it: Good Variety
What's not so great: too little exposure, Major Tom isn't on the album

Easily one of the best I own
on May 24, 2009
Posted by: sthunder2132
from Kalamazoo, MI
This album is one of the best that I own, easily in my top 3. I was a huge fan of In Your Honor's second CD, and this is more in that same strand, but live in concert. If you don't mind the F-Bomb I'd also recommend checking out the DVD, lots of funny moments, as well as some great music. Everlong will haunt your dreams, and you'll wake up smiling.
Not sure what the heck that means but it sounds good.

One of the good ones
on May 22, 2009
Posted by: sthunder2132
from Kalamazoo, MI
I really feel like this album represents a high point for linkin park. This matches up to what they did in Hybrid Theory and Meteora, without any of the drag of their "filler" albums. Bleed it Out is by far the best song on the album, and in the top 5 that the band has ever done.
What's great about it: Great sound, new material
What's not so great: a bit too political for my taste

Definitely not great, but not torture either
on May 1, 2009
Posted by: sthunder2132
from Kalamazoo, MI
This was a decent one to watch with the girlfriend. It had a few entertaining points, but overall was fairly predictable. If you're looking for something that's not pure torture to watch, and will make your better half happy, I'd recommend this movie.
What's great about it: Decent acting, some entertaining parts, pretty colors
What's not so great: Predictable
I would recommend this to a friend!

A great NFS Game
on April 30, 2009
Posted by: sthunder2132
from Kalamazoo, MI
The best thing about this game is the actual gameplay, it's almost exactly like Most Wanted, and the layout is very similar to that. Gone is the territory owning from Carbon, or the horrible "Legal" environment of ProStreet.
Some things that still bring this game down are In Game Advertising, and an unbalanced automattic difficulty system. If your car doesn't have many mods (like my Audi TT) it will blow past every single competitor. If you put a bunch of cash into modding a new car's performance (like my Evo X) you'll get blown away every time. Since the game doesn't let you pick your difficulty it bases the difficulty of the game on your car's performance. If it let you pick the difficulty or based it off from your personal record it would be a lot better.
There's still some in game ads, but it's not nearly as bad as in Carbon or ProStreet. Having Progressive written on the side of a car is just distracting, I much more preferred bilboard style ads from the Underground series.
Overall, if you liked Most Wanted or even Carbon, you'll like this game.
What's great about it: Great customization, huge car list, decent graphics, cop chases
What's not so great: Difficulty balancing is messed up, some in game ads still exist
I would recommend this to a friend!

is it true that bestbuy now gives away free wifi adapters on select tv models?

That is a promotion that was recently going on in our local store. Each store runs different promotions each week, so you'll have to check with your specific store. Bestbuy.com is not an exception to this rule as it is considered to be its own "store."

Can a small TV be hanged in a corner wall ? (2 walls forming the corner, of course))

Small tv's (such as a 26 inch) weigh about 15-20 lbs. If you wanted to make a rig that could support that weight it could be put in a corner. Otherwise you could get a full motion wall mount and mount it on just one wall, but angle it so that it was in the corner.

What do I need to connect an HDTV to my existing coax cable? Do I need to purchase an adapter of some sort?

Just screw it in. New HDTVs have coax inputs and can decode any non-box based cable signal. Just make sure that you selected cable as the type of input and not antenna when you do a channel scan.

im not gettin the IP adress on the wirless for xbox 360 what can i do?

Double check that DHCP is enabled by your router and that you are entering the correct password if you have protection on your router. If you don't have a password or MAC ID based protection enabled it would be a possiblity that someone messed with your router and you should reset it by hitting the little red button.

xbox360 hard deive crashed can i get fixed

No, if your hard drive crashes you can get a replacement but not a fix. If you've been on xbox live you should be able to re-download your saved games. If you really really really need that info off from that drive, there are companies that charge up to 5000 dollars to retrieve info from a crashed hard drive.
