Huge monitor, not huge price. I love that it has multiple connection options, the HDMI was especially useful for hooking up an Apple TV, which is what we bought it for.
I would recommend this to a friend!

 Splatoon Standard Edition - Nintendo Wii U
Splatoon Standard Edition - Nintendo Wii U
You take the lead as your team approaches a clean new area, free of color and chaos. With a smirk, you take it all in — you'll soon change that. Two teammates begin spraying down walls, floors, ceilings and every other imaginable surface with ink, claiming this territory as your own with a vivid wash of your colors. You and another fighter scan the area for enemies. The opposition never sees you as you sneak up and douse them in an ink bath they'll never forget. This turf is all yours — it's time to move on and paint the whole world in your team's colors.Get messy with Splatoon, a fun-filled third-person action shooter that challenges you to cover levels, and enemies, with a brilliant spray of colorful ink. Take on the role of an Inkling, a squid-like fighter ready to cover yourself and everything around you with your team's hues. Cover the terrain around you in ink to claim it, and spray walls to gain access to hard-to-reach areas. Earn high-powered super weapons by soaking your turf in ink, so you can cover your enemies in color or spray more territory. Put on your thinking cap to dream up devastating strategies, but don't forget to keep an eye on your turf — too much attention on the other team may lead to a redecoration of your own territory. Easily refill your tank or hide from enemies with just a touch of a button, or transform into a squid and dive into ink for a blazing-fast speed boost. Attack your own way with a multitude of control options thanks to the Wii U GamePad controller, including gyroscopic controls that let you look around, aim and more with precision. Band together with three friends and get online to take on other teams in four-on-four matches that will have you perched on the edge of your seat. A color-soaked battle awaits — are you ready to claim your turf?

Splatoon is a great game for fans of online warfare games or not. I've never been a Call of Duty/Halo/etc fan and I suck at FPS and most 3PS, but Splatoon's mechanics and controls are easy to handle for people of all skill levels. The only serious downfall I've found is that local play is only 2-person and it's just one-on-one, which sort of takes the fun out of team turf wars. But the online play is amazing - just wish they'd allow for more local players at once.

If you could never decide on a class in RPGs that only allow you to play one option through the entire playthrough, this is the game for you. The class diversity goes beyond regular combat-types and into the crafting and skill work that makes the fantasy towns in these types of games continue to run while adventurers are out saving them. I love that your skills carry over, so if you level your paladin to 20, then switch to chef, you still have sword and combat skills to help you kill animals for ingredients for your dishes. With 20 job classes and a good story, there's tons of play time in this game!

It was a cute game, I loved the 2-D drawing mechanic, but the similarities with A Link to the Past and short length of the game made it feel more like a demo with a game mod rather than a full game. Still, quite fun and enjoyable, just not a lot of replayability.

Even if you never played the originals, this game is easy to jump right in and play. It would've been better on the DS, though, because the games are so short they're great to pick up if you only have a few minutes to play. As for a long-term gaming session, not really.

It has enough elements from the old games to feel familiar with enough new content and elements to feel fresh and entertaining. It only takes a little while to get used to the new mechanics, as long as you've played other Mario 3D titles. If you've been stuck in 2D games this will be a bit of a stretch.

First and foremost, my complaint is mainly how the game forces you to travel together in a bunch rather than move individually. That was the whole point of the previous games and it felt much more like a competition. The bowser battle is unnecessary and only promotes more fighting among players. I haven't tried the Amiibo party yet because I'm not sure if I want to unbox my Mario and start down the slippery slope of Amiibo collecting. But it's my hope that that version will bring back the individual-based vs play of the past games. I do like how they categorize the mini games based on the skills required (memory, luck, dexterity, etc) although it seems the mini games bounce between point and click and sideways jump and move. I missed the shaking and tilting games.
Overall, still fun, but missing a lot of what gave the other games their replayability.

Google Chromecast: Easily stream your favorite apps and media to your TV via Wi-Fi with Chromecast. Use the included USB cable to plug the Chromecast into your TV, and control streaming content using your compatible smartphone, tablet or computer.
 

Does Chromecast increase data usage on cellular Wi-Fi?

I use a cellular carrier for my home Wi-Fi network. If I cast content already on my tablet, will this use any of my data allowance?
Most likely, yes. Both the Chromecast and the device you're casting from need to be on the same network. I'm not 100% certain which device actually streams the content, but given that both devices would be on your cellular hot spot, yes, whichever one pulls the video would be also eating up bandwidth.
