Mario Kart 8 best racing game on Nintendo Switch!
on January 9, 2021
Posted by: ReadyPlayerBum
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have about 6 games on Switch and in my opinion Super Mario Kart 8 is the best racing game Nintendo has made on the Switch! It is definitely better than Mario Kart 7 on 3DS XL and that was already awesome so imagine how much better this is with better graphics and playability! Even though this came out in 2017, 4 years later this still holds up pretty well, especially for those who were unable to get a Switch during the great Switch drought of 2020!
There are 41 playable characters and 5 of them are exclusive to Switch. I believe Villager from Animal crossing is new as well as Bowser Jr. , Cat Peach, Dry Bones, Dry Bowser ,the Inklings from Splatoon and Tanooki Mario. Also players will have access to all 48 tracks from the starting line which is great.
The one all new feature of the game is called Smart Steering, the Smart Steering is intended for inexperienced players. I don’t know how it works but you can go over a speed boost, bump into a wall but not lose any speed. It also allows you to boost on sharp turns on tracks like Rainbow Road.
Really great racing experience. Smooth ,great music, fun effects, it takes you back to the good old Nintendo days except you now can play Mariokart on the move, win win!

Accessorize your full-size gaming keyboard with this HyperX wrist rest. Its cool gel memory foam material provides comfortable, ergonomic cushioning, and the nonslip rubber base keeps it in place as you perform multi-key commands. The durable construction and fray-resistant stitching let this HyperX wrist rest hold up to rugged use.

Best wrist rest in the whole world,so comfortable!
on November 30, 2020
Posted by: ReadyPlayerBum
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a very comfortable wrist rest for both PC gaming and working all day long. I had a bean bag type of wrist rest and a foam wrist rest but this is by far the best of all of them. It comes with a 2 year warranty, I don't think I will need to replace it. But I already bought a second one for my wife and she also finds it to be a great help for keyboard comfort. I use it with a Corsair keyboard and a Logitech mechanical keyboard, works great on both of them.
The top of the wrist rest has a silicone feel, kind of like a soft supple nylon Wonderbra!
The underneath has this honeycomb rubber grip anti slip material which does an excellent job of keeping the wrist rest in place.
It weighs 11.2 ounces / 317 grams and the dimensions are 18 inches x 3.9 inches x 0.9 inches.
I do not believe that I am going to find a more ergonomic wrist rest than this HyperX wrist rest, I have been using this a year.

Introducing Nintendo Switch, the new home video game system from Nintendo. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system can be taken on the go so players can enjoy a full home console experience anytime, anywhere. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system, with unprecedented new play styles brought to life by the two new Joy-Con controllers.PLAY ANYWHEREAt home the system rests in the Nintendo Switch dock, which lets you play with family and friends on a TV in the comfort of your living room.By simply lifting Nintendo Switch from the dock at any time, the system instantly transitions to handheld mode, and the same great gaming experience that was being enjoyed at home now travels with you. The portability of Nintendo Switch is enhanced by its 6.2-inch screen, which displays bright, high-definition gameplay at the park, on an airplane, in a car, or at a friend's apartment.Nintendo Switch comes with two Joy-Con that can each act as a standalone controller with an analog stick, a full complement of face and shoulder buttons, built in motion-sensing technology and new HD Rumble. They can be inserted into a Joy-Con grip accessory to be used like a traditional controller, held comfortably in each hand for independent left and right motion controls, or shared between two players for instant multiplayer gaming in front of the TV or out on the go.This bundle includes the Nintendo Switch console and Nintendo Switch dock in black, and left and right Joy~Con controllers in a contrasting gray. It also includes all the extras you need to get started.

Nintendo Switch -the best & only handheld console
on November 2, 2020
Posted by: ReadyPlayerBum
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Nintendo Switch console was out of stock for most of 2020 during the Covid Pandemic. I used to check the stores frequently but now it seems that it is back in stock everywhere. I was very happy with the console. It has a nice sized screen which is 6.2 inches. The console lasts a long time on full charge, apparently it is between 3 to 6 hours depending on the graphics of the game. I played Crysis and I was able to play for more than 3 hours. The sound is also loud enough and the graphics for Mario games is good and the vibrate function is also great too. There are a lot of games on the market both physical cartridges and in the Nintendo Store. A lot of games are on sale too which is always good. I have to say, of all the Nintendo Consoles, I think it wins hands down purely because of how many games are out right now, I think there is about 100 games out right now.

It's a Mario Bros U deluxe a time! Woo Hoo!
on October 21, 2020
Posted by: ReadyPlayerBum
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you are a Mario fan then you will love this. I had never played this on Wii U so it was the first time playing it. I did not want to play Super Mario Odyssey because it was to 4D for me.
You can play as Luigi, Toad, Mario, Toadette and Nabbit in this game. Some levels are tricky and others are really difficult, but it has the nifty helper feature where if you attempt the level enough times then it allows you to hit the green box then Luigi will guide you through the entire level which is a great.

Gillette, the best a man can get...on the market!
on October 6, 2020
Posted by: ReadyPlayerBum
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been using Gillette blades over 20 years. I just upgraded to this new set even though it was a pricey set to buy. I bought it because I am a huge big fan of hot towel shaves. But to be honest I much prefer hot towel shaves! But a hot razer shave will have to do I guess.
The heat helps the blade glide better across skin better and result in less bumps however I feel like it does not get as hot as I would like it to get! What can I say? I like to feel the burn! Now as for draw backs for the blades, they do clog easily. I do find myself bashing the blade on the sink under running water for several minutes to clear out the stubble residue and this is not a problem which will go away either. But there you go no blades are perfect.
In conclusion, there are no other blades like this on the market. They also last a while but I like to switch them out frequently in order to guarantee a close shave.

Awesome Fast Charger with 2 ports 1xUSB C 1xUSB A
on August 12, 2020
Posted by: ReadyPlayerBum
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been using this for 6 weeks now. It is a great phone charger. I use it for a Galaxy Note 8 and a Galaxy Note 10+. On the Note 10+ it charges from 50% to 100% in about 1 hour. A lot faster than regular chargers. I use it to charge a Razer phone and also a Boxer robot toy too.
The charger has one USB-C PowerIQ 3.0 port (45W) for your newer fast charge devices and one USB-A PowerIQ 2.0 port (15W) for older devices.
I use it every day and I am hoping that it lasts for a long time with no issues.
Pros: Nice fast charger which comes with a quality Anker Usb C to Usb C cable, folding pins make it great for travel.
Bright Blue circle LED indicator to show it is currently charging.
Cons: It is rather large and covers 2 wall plug sockets if you have one on top of the other. [but it is still smaller than a Macbook Pro charger]

This is a really great ethernet cable for Fios Gigabit internet. The long length means I can run it from my router to my TV, DVD and Cable box. But really it works best for gaming on my laptop. I get an average of 900 Mpbs for my internet connection at home.

Energizer Recharge AAA Batteries simply the best !
I have been using Energizer Recharge Universal batteries for over 10 years now.
I use them in my Panasonic Cordless Phone, TV remote Control, DVD remote control, kids toys like bubble machine, Gillette Shaving stick, Bose Headphones. They hold the charge for a very long time. When they run out I just pop them in the charger for a couple of hours and they are ready again. I never experienced any issues with them. After a couple of years, the cells do come to the end of their lifespan and might need replacing but they still last longer than ordinary batteries so it is certainly worth it.

Ant-man SteelBook nice addition to your collection
on June 15, 2020
Posted by: ReadyPlayerBum
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ant-man SteelBook makes a nice addition to your Marvel collection, if you collect all of the Marvel feature movies like I do. This is a relatively difficult SteelBook to obtain, even though the movie came out 5 years ago. After looking for several months, I managed to snap up a copy. The SteelBook itself is cool enough, I think the front cover is good. Inside Art is a bit boring as it is just Scott Lang in his suit with an Ant. The 4K feature is good but I do not see too many extras included apart from the feature. You get one 4K Blu-ray and just a regular Blu-ray in addition to a digital copy which you can redeem online on your app of preference.

Totally Awesome Movie which I did not appreciate!
on April 16, 2020
Posted by: ReadyPlayerBum
Verified Purchase:Yes
I saw this in the movie theater but I had not read the graphic novels back then. Now I am rewatching this again and It is a really awesome movie. Especially now that the HBO show is out.
I have to say that I am disappointed in the 4K Ultra HD picture quality, if you pause it you will see the grainy image. However It is hard to compare this to new movies shot using new 4k cameras. The long version is LONG but that's why you are buying it!
It is quite a masterpiece, great actors for each of the characters.

MSI GS65 Laptop: Play your favorite games on this MSI Stealth gaming laptop. An Intel core i7 processor and 32GB of DDR4 RAM deliver seamless performance, while the 512GB solid-state drive provides adequate storage space. This MSI Stealth gaming laptop features a 15.6-inch Full HD display for immersive viewing and two Dynaudio speakers for quality sound.
 

Are MSI laptops reliable? I would like to keep this laptop at least 4 years.

I am using my MSI laptop for 5 years. After the Hard Disk gets full, I think the best thing is to Format the drives and Reinstall Windows 10 ,then it runs like brand new machine.

Dive headfirst into a dystopian world devoid of society, law, and order. RAGE 2 brings together two studio powerhouses~Avalanche Studios, masters of open world insanity, and id Software, creators of the first-person shooter ~to deliver a carnival of carnage where you can go anywhere, shoot anything, and explode everything.An asteroid has annihilated 80% of the earth~s population, and humanity~s numbers are dwindling. Ruthless and bloodthirsty gangs roam the open roads and the tyrannical Authority seek to rule with an iron fist. As Walker, the last Ranger of the wasteland and a threat to their power, you have been robbed of your home and left for dead. Now you~ll have to rage for justice and freedom. With ludicrous vehicle combat, super-powered first-person mayhem, and an open world full of emergent madness, you will tear across an unforgiving wasteland battling sadistic gangs to find the tools and tech needed to crush the oppressive rule of The Authority once and for all.
 

Is this a physical boxed PC copy? Or just a code?

They do send a physical box case however it does not contain a DVD-ROM, you have to redeem a Steam code / Bethesda game app and download the huge file online.

The Rival 600 introduces gamers to an advanced dual-sensor system, TrueMove3+. The TrueMove3 optical sensor delivers true 1-to-1 tracking, while a dedicated optical depth sensor achieves very low and accurate lift off distance detection. Plus, custom center-of-gravity tuning with 256 weight configurations makes the Rival 600 a must-have for competitive gaming.
 

What's wrong with my mouse? When i plug it in Windows recognizes it, the mouse lights up, but my cursor won't move on my screen

The November 14th firmware (3.13.1) update accidentally caused major issues for some Rival 600 users. SteelSeries immediately pulled the update and identified the problem.
Here's how to fix it if you were one of the unlucky few:
How to recover:
Unplug any SteelSeries devices from your computer.
Hold left click + right click + CPI button and plug in your Rival 600 while holding them down.
The SteelSeries logo on the Rival 600 should start blinking blue. If not, unplug the mouse and try step 2 again.
Run the _UPDATE_APPLICATION.bat file to recover the mouse.

I saw this in the official steelseries page and saw that their mouse comes with a mousepad and what seems to be a place to hang your house. Does this come with those or just the mouse.

No. In the box you get the mouse, the cable and 8 x 4 gram weights. The mouse pad and holder must be extras that need to be purchased.
