This is AWESOME!

Amazing. The sculpt is great. My version's paint application leaves a little to be desired. (I might tough it up...might not). The coloring is a little of the "orange rex" that the new toys have. I remember the red/brown rex from the original line. That was my favorite toy as a kid and this is a SUPER worthy successor that surpasses the original in many ways. The thing is HHHUUUGGGE and my wife and I just keep cracking up whenever we see it. It's pose-able and great for photos. I brought it into my office as a joke and folks were coming by my desk just to play with Rexy and make him swallow Spider-man or Black Panther.
So look, you know that they production run will start dwindling soon - and then the price will soar. I think this will be one of those toys like the original Rex, or the Legendary Millennium Falcon because it is an expensive item. So, if you think it will make you happy, I really recommend grabbing it because this thing is just my favorite and makes me crack up just thinking about it on my nightstand.

knocked it out of the park!

Sound quality is the best I've heard on a speaker of this size!!! Definitely worth paying a little extra for this one over the 2nd generation model. I'm not going to discuss the functionality as there's tons of info already out there. One important note: If you set up the Alexa app on your phone, IT WILL IMPORT ALL OF YOUR PHONE CONTACTS. I didn't think I gave it permission to do so but Alexa did indeed import my contacts! You may have read stories how, WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE, Alexa can record what's being said in your home and then send it to ANY or ALL of those contacts! Yikes! And, I won't want any of my kids to accidentally send messages to or call people on my contact list. So, if you want to keep your contacts from Alexa and prevent that from happening here's how I did it:
Before installiing the Alexa app on your phone, export your contacts to a file and save it for later. Then, go back to the phone and delete those contacts (don't worry, you'll import them back in later). Now, install the Alexa app on your phone and go through the set up process. At some point, you'll have the option to allow Alexa to automatically import any additions to your contacts. Please "disable" that option. After you're done with the installation, you'll notice there are no contacts in your Alexa app! Now, you can import your contacts back into your phonebook using the file that you initially created and you're good to go!
If you already installed the app but want to delete your contacts from Alexa, it's not too late. Simply export your phone contacts to a file and save for later. Then, delete the contacts from your phone. Now, open the Alexa app and click "Contacts." On the Contacts page, click on "Import Contacts" and enable it by moving the button to the right side. This will cause Alexa to replace your existing contacts with the now empty phonebook. After a few minutes, your Alexa contacts will be gone. Go back and disable "Import Contacts" to prevent Alexa from importing them in the future. You can now import the contact file that you created back into your phone.
Of course there may be some contacts you do want to use with Alexa. I simply added them manually by clicking "Add Contact."

Typical Madden Yearly Release
on January 3, 2020
Posted by: waggs181
Verified Purchase:Yes
PROS:
New Face of the franchise mode: Replaces the dreadful Longshot story mode from last year. The mode lets you pick several college teams and has much more replay-ability than the two seasons of Longshot ever did. After making your way through college you play a year in the pros and can unlock various different endings based on how you play. Afterwards, it is essentially a single player franchise mode with few dialog options such as coach interactions and post game interviews. Though still not as replayable as I would have liked, definitely an improvement over last year.

Afterwards, it is essentially a single player franchise mode with few dialog options such as coach interactions and post game interviews. Though still not as replayable as I would have liked, definitely an improvement over last year.
X-Factor traits: Essentially special abilities star players have on certain teams to distinguish from your average NFL Joe. Though I thought these would be a gimmick at first, they actually make playing certain teams and players feel different than unique. Though some x factors are certainly more overpowered than others, it is a welcome addition to the franchise.
Gameplay: Though this should be expected, game play feels much more fluid than last year especially in the run. Clipping doesn't happen as often though still a problem, and linebackers can't jump 5 feet up in the air to pick off your ball. Trending in the right direction with the gameplay though I have still experienced frame rate dips and animation glitches
CONS:
Franchise Mode:
Franchise mode got no meaningful improvement from last year as there are still many features that players have been asking for for years that are not available. Basically a copy and paste from Madden 19.

MUT: Your favorite microtransaction riddled pay to win mode is back and earning in game currency to buy packs feels harder than ever this year. Despite this, it is the mode with the most added features such as a new challenges mode where you can switch up the difficulty to earn higher rewards. However, the reason I put this in the cons section is because the only reason EA puts any time and effort into improving this mode is because it is their money maker. Why put more resources into franchise mode when they can't put microtransactions into it? MUT as a mode dumbs down the rest of their game because they simply refuse to spend the resources on anything else which honestly has been a frustrating trend over the years.
Though I get excited by the demos and game play trailers with all the flashy new features every year, every year I come away disappointed. I've come to accept that I buy this game for the roster updates.

Another PS4 Awesome Game!
on January 3, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
Gamplay:
A mix of Spider-man 2 and Batman Arkham games with it's own identity mixed in.
Web-slinging feel very natural once you get the hang of it, and way better than the Spider-man 2 game as you can more manual control. You have to time your button presses to shoot out webs, calculate airtime, forward thrust and momentum. It controls are very seamless once you get used to it.
Combat is very fast paced. Very similar to the Batman Arkham games with it's attack, dodge (when you get spider sense) mechanic, but more room to maneuver around compared to batman due to Spider-man having more agility, speed and ability to web swing.
-Options for combat are:
Melee Attacks
Melee Attacks
Web based attacks
Dodge
Web Gadgets: use of elemental webbing and/or web bombs/traps. Some of which are super effective against certain enemies
Swing Around- can be used as hit-and-run tactic if you're not high enough level
Grab nearby objects with web and toss at enemies
Activate focus meter/Activate Suit Powers - heal or do finishing move
There's a lot of combinations you can do, especially as you upgrade abilities. Combat is very fast, responsive and will not overwhelm you with options as these abilities will unlock gradually as you progress. It's also not a button masher as some abilities require you to time button presses or hold buttons for few seconds during combos.
-Upgrade System
There are 2 ways to upgrade Spider-man: leveling up and crafting items.

There are 3 upgrade trees you can select from:
Innovator: tactical skills
Defender: Melee combat based
Web-sling: Jump around/dodge better during combat, also can use in overworld/chase sequence mini-games

-Crafting.
You can upgrade your suit and make gadgets by collecting in-game tokens by doing side objectives
You can upgrade your suit and make gadgets by collecting in-game tokens by doing side objectives
-There are 27 suits to collect. To unlock suits to craft, you have to be a certain level (and have materials) or complete certain objectives. If you 100% all side objectives you get this half naked spider-man suit where he's just in his underwear and a Spider-man mask. Last level unlock suit is at level 50.
If you pre-order the game; the Spiderpunk suit, for example is unlocked from the get-go instead of having to wait till you reach level 16.
There are 3 empty spaces for 3 additional suits. I assume it'll be included in the 3 planned story DLC for the game.
-Other Gameplay
To change up the pace a bit; you also play as Mary Jane, where you have to sneak around enemies to escape certain areas.

There's also QTE (quick time events) during cinematic sequences
Taskmaster acts like the Riddler in the Batman Arkham games giving you various side quests around the map before you face him
Game takes around 15-20 hours to complete depending on your skill and how fast you intend to rush through the main story campaign. To collect everything and get platinum trophy it can take upwards to 40 hours.
--Graphics
Game looks very good, especially on the PS4 Pro where Spider-man's suit and puddles stand out more compared to the regular PS4. Whatever format you play it on, the game looks amazing.

Has very good draw distance, and cinematic cutscenes. If you are nitpicky and walk up to individualized objects, the textures may be off a bit. Seeing the fast paced nature of the game, you most likely not have time to look around the over world anyway. Regardless, one of the best looking PS4 games to date
Voice acting is also very good. Like the banter between Peter and Mary Jane. Also get some fun laughs when you use the Quips (tell jokes to enemies) ability for the Comic Spider-man suit.
Overall, had a blast playing this game. If you're a fan of Spider-man or super hero games in general; it's a must buy.

2019 Game of the Year!
on January 3, 2020
Posted by: waggs181
Verified Purchase:Yes
The game is wonder-filled, beautiful, and haunting. It's not MGS6, although there is more action here than has been described in many reviews or seen on YT.
For example, you've probably read the "first 10 hours are a slog and filled with backtracking." Well, I didn't have to backtrack til hour 6 and when I did, it was on a motorcycle and took like 2 minutes. Before that point, I was pulled into an amazing world and game play loop that alternated between top tier storytelling cinematics and tight, compelling game play. Each loop added a bit more to each. Within 3 hours, I had seen and done more crazy things than most games dream of, had heart pounding moments, planned my moves, ran for my life, explored in wonder, and got pulled into the mystery of terms, characters, and visuals Death Stranding offers.
Give the game a rental or if you have the disposable income, go with your gut. This isn't No Man's Sky launch part 2. This is a masterpiece in its own right and playing it will be immensely satisfying and emotionally engaging. History will look fondly on Death Stranding after the initial polarization stabilizes.

Finally another good Star Wars game!
on January 3, 2020
Posted by: waggs181
Verified Purchase:Yes
To be brief, I have collect and have played the majority of the Star Wars game library, and in the recent years, we have had a terrible drought. The Battlefront games are fun, but lacking in content and story. This is the first Star Wars game in years to have a solid story and game play worthy of the golden age of Star Wars games. While the ending is a bit abrupt and the map is a bit wonky at times, this is a solid game and a sign of good things to come for the future of Star Wars games. Proud to own this, and can't wait to see what story is next for the Mantis Crew!

I saw on the website and app that It was $5.99 for the Bluray + DVD + Digital Copy. Went to the store and purchased it. Got it home and opened it and it did not include the DVD or the Digital Copy. It is a great movie, but the fact that the website and app are showing one version and the ONLY version they have in store is BLURAY only is deceiving. Not worth it if it doesn't include the digital copy. That was the main reason I was even buying it. But since I opened it, I can't take it back. Though, there isn't an actual Bluray + DVD + Digital Copy in stores anyway, so I wouldn't be able to buy the correct version no matter what.

There are not many games I deeply dislike, but this is one of them. Bethesda Game Studios's first multiplayer was a complete disaster. Which is really sad because I do love there single player games. This game just had too many technical & graphical errors to be enjoyable. Avoid at all cost and look for another game.

You should actually try to communicate less in this game compared to other team games. The predator can hear your conversations when nearby. If the predator is further away, it will assist him finding you in his thermal mode.

If i knew that there was no story mode/campaign mode i wouldn't have pre-ordered it. playing privately as Predator is awesome but no setting for adding bots. it has a few enemies n that's it. thermal mode needs more work on cuz you can barely see human or animal heat signature. Online isn't working for me due server most likely. long waits n no play.this game is made for online multiplayer. 2 star is only for the playing as predator character is cool. only 3 maps to play private game/offline. cars don't blow up only certain things like barrels. blaster is kinda weak when it hits stuff. not recommended for the price. I rather have my money back.

Anker PowerWave 4-in-1 stand for charging Smartphones, Airpods, Apple Watch, and a Fourth device (18W USB-C PD)~~all in one device
Overall
3 out of 5
3 out of 5Perfect in Every Way Except One!
By dockcom
This charger is exactly what I was looking for! Unfortunately, with one caveat.
It charges my iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch, all while displaying them on my desk or nightstand so that I can read messages as they come in during the day or see the time in the middle of the night.
The product even has an extra power out on the back so that you can plug in an additional cord to power another device... very useful! Note, the additional power outlet is a USB Type C connector.
Here is the problem ... when you place your phone on the charger, a blue light illuminates on the front of it! This light may seem unobtrusive during the day, but at night, it is blazingly bright!
In addition, this light is not smart ... it stays on no matter what the charge percentage is on your phone. In other words, even after the phone is 100% charged, the light remains on.
I fixed this problem by adding a black sticker to cover up the light but in my opinion, the manufacturer shouldn't have added the changing light indicator to the unit at all. Your devices tell you when they are charging and adding a light to a product that will be used by some people on their nightstand shows extremely poor product development on the part of Anker.
Hopefully the manufacturer is monitoring reviews and will take note of customer feedback.

I have the standalone version of the phone charger without the other items. The purpose of the blue light is let you know that you have properly set your phone on it. Anker has this light on a lot (if not all) of their products to let you know that their is proper connection for charging.

Old Microwave is GE Model JVM3160DF3ww. Will this model match up with current installation holes (in cabinet above microwave)?. Does it use same mounting bracket?
The answer from GE answers is incorrect. I just installed this today and the mounting holes from the cabinet above are different. The left one is at least 3 inches different compared to the JVM3160DF3WW that you would have. The mounting bracket did still work for me though.

The JVM3160DFWW has different mounting hole locations than the JVM3160DF3WW does. I learned the hardway that after see it incorrectly saying no modifications or same mounting hardware could be used. Especially the one on the left is like 3 inches towards the center of the microwave. The mounting bracket could still be used though.
