Interesting Movie
on March 2, 2018
Posted by: NickD
Verified Purchase:Yes
This isn't a typical movie in anyway. It is animated with oil paintings in the style of Van Gogh. Just that fact makes is unique and pretty amazing. The story was interesting as well. The characters and scenes from his paintings are brought to life. It follows a young man who was the son of one of Van Gogh's friends trying to deliver a letter from Van Gogh after Van Gogh has already died. He starts off by asking what's the point of delivering a dead mans letter, but slowly learns of what has happened to Van Gogh in his life and how he died, by talking to the people who knew him. I don't know if this is a movie you will watch again and again, but it is well worth watching in my opnion.

A Great Movie That You Never Heard Of.
on February 25, 2018
Posted by: NickD
Verified Purchase:Yes
One of my favorite movies. One of the greatest movies you never heard of. I was introduced to this movie in college by a friend of mine. Never heard of it and I never saw it in theaters. I watched it and was amazed that it was never in the theaters. The story was great and so was the directing. The way it was put together and the writing. If you never saw it, you are missing out. It's a cult classic for sure. Check it out. you wont be disappointed.

Pretty Bad Super Hero Movie
on September 30, 2016
Posted by: NickD
Verified Purchase:Yes
To keep this short....Batflack, booo! They could have cut out the first hour of it and maybe just cut to the last 30 minutes of it with all the action and it would have made it a lot better. Wasn't a fan of the movie, but have always been a batman fan. They pretty much made this so they can make a justice league film. Don't waste your money or time on this movie.

It does its job...
on September 27, 2016
Posted by: NickD
Verified Purchase:Yes
It definitely extends the signal as it should. However I don't really see the speed. It works fairly well. I do get a good signal where there was really very little signal before. The set up is fairly easy and there are options for blocking and allowing and scheduling access if you have kids. It also has a guest option, which I haven't explored, for visitors. Its nice that it has a usb port for charging and doesn't block the outlet. It works well, but wish it would give me more speed. I can't be sure it's the fault of this product, more likely the internet provider, but wish I could get a bit more speed out of it. Over all a good device and would recommend it to others.

Who Doesn't Love Star Wars?
on December 11, 2015
Posted by: NickD
Verified Purchase:Yes
It's good, not great, but good. I do miss some of the old game types, like dog fights where I can land on an enemy ship and break things from the inside, but there are more game modes. Its fun to play as both rebels and the empire. There is no disadvantage or advantage of being one over the other, so no worries about not being able to use your favorite weapon. It's also fun to play as the hero's and villain's. There are some things that could be improved, like the fact that you have to jump over everything on the Endor map and that the flight controls are a little odd when in a tie or xwing or etc... Some maps have less pick ups then others, it seems. And of course there are the respawns in front of gun fire and the enemies always seems to blend in the background. The radar seems useless. I miss the times when you actually got a manual with the game, but maybe that's just me. On the plus side, there are a good number of guns to choose from and some weapons that need to recharge. There are also limit use perks, which you need to pick up markers for to use, I just wish they pooled the makers together instead of only being applied to the equipped one. In other words, if you have ion blast equipped and you pick up a marker, it will add a use to ion blast, but if you switch to another it will not transfer over. You have to have it equipped for any more uses to be added. If you don't feel like playing online or only with a friend, they do have missions which can be fun. I, however, wish I could play with more than 1 other person.
Over all, a good game that I hope they add to and improve upon.

Worst Multiplayer Halo Ever, But still a good game
on November 3, 2015
Posted by: NickD
Verified Purchase:Yes
I honestly think this was the worst multiplayer halo has put out since the original. But at least the original had one of the best single players. I do like the fact that you can play with 4 people in the co-op campaign, but am not sure the point of choosing a character. It's a game based around master chef and you should be master chef, but that's my opinion. I do like the fact you can mark an enemy, but don't like that its only if you are a leader. However, I realize its more the tell your NCP's what to attack rather then marking it. The NCP's are not really that intelligent. You can be down right next to them and call for them, yet they like to stand there and watch you die.
Now as for the multiplayer. My God the req system is horrible. At the very least let me start off with the basic weapon I want. The 2 weapons you start out with are pretty much useless. You mine as well just have a spitballs. ANY weapon you pick up is more powerful than the 2 you start with. You are usually respawned right in front of an enemy, especially when you use a req card that you will lose after death. On top of that, not only do you have to earn the weapons, you also have to reach the level to use them. I absolutely do not like this system. Also, what happened to clans? Can you have more than 4 people in a fire team for multiplayer? I do kind of like the fact that they added NPC's into it. This is all in the warzone. Now arena is a lot different. You still pick up weapons in arena. You don't get as massive feel of a map. It also lets you know when the bigger weapons respawn, which is both good and bad. It lets you know, but then you know everyone will be heading for it and most likely be camping there.
There are a few silly things about it that I don't like, like having to unlock symbols, just let me wear the phoenix if I want to....Over all, it is an okay game. An interesting take on a great series. I am sure there will be a lot of people that will disagree with me and that's fine. I have played worse, but for halo, I have definitely played better. Maybe I will grow to like it....Sooo SWBF anyone?

Not the best basic phone I have ever had.

It does make calls, text, take pics and video, but it's definitely not the best basic phone I have ever had. It's slow and a bit user unfriendly in its os design. But hey, it was cheap and I don't have to pay the stupid data plan charges.

It works better than the one that came with the system. I guess Microsoft has to get a bit more cash out of its customers some how.

This isn't your usual battlefield, obviously, but it's not bad. The positives are the new game types and the fact that you can buy weapons and attachments instead of being forced into whatever they decide to give you when you level up. It's also nice to be able to change your load outs out side the actual game. Some of the negatives, you miss some of the weapons and vehicles, you still have to level up to unlock certain things and every time you switch from cops to robbers you have to make sure you have the correct load out, because the weapons are different for each. Now both a good and bad are the maps. They are smaller, which is good because you don't have to run so far, but bad because some times its too tight and seems crowded. Over all a pretty good game. Worth playing just to try out the new game types, but I wouldn't say it is the best out there.

Does it have to be hardwired or can it just be plugged in
This is a signal extender that goes in-between your router and the dead zone in your home. You do not need to hardwire it to your router or your device. I believe you do need to get 70% of the signal for it to work well.
