I'm using this battery backup in my home-studio. External hard drives, monitor, speakers, and laptop are all plugged into it. Battery has been checked, so I'm ready and waiting for the next power failure during an editing session.

 Dying Light - PRE-OWNED - PlayStation 4
Dying Light - PRE-OWNED - PlayStation 4
Who would have thought there'd ever come a time when desperately searching the environment for what little resources you can find to survive was your idea of relaxing? While the daylight hours may be filled with scavenging for supplies and weapons, the fact that the sun shines in the sky eases your anxiety, because you know what happens the moment it dips beyond the horizon. With the dying light comes a host of horrors that turn the hunter into the hunted. Hoards of infected become aggressive and increase in numbers, searching for you as you searched for weapons to kill them just hours before. But the infected aren't even the most frightening threat. There's something else out there that lurks in the darkness, a more sinister predator that stalks its prey. You are that prey.Set in a vast and dangerous open world, Dying Light drops you in the middle of a waking nightmare in a first-person survival horror experience that will have your heart pounding and adrenaline pumping the second night falls. During the day, you're free to roam the expansive urban environment to scavenge for supplies and craft the weapons you need to defend yourself against the victims of a vicious outbreak. A variety of melee weapons, including knives, bats, axes, sledgehammers and more, are at your disposal, as well as guns and other firepower. The sizeable crafting system enables you to create a slew of more powerful, more potent weapons and equipment with specialized ammunition. You'll need every weapon you can lay your hands on to survive the night — when the infected roam free and the night-loving predators begin their hunt. Whether you're tracking prey or evading predators, you can seamlessly leap between buildings, grapple up walls and pounce on enemies with free running movement. With breathtaking visuals and immersive gameplay, powered by Chrome Engine 6, you'll begin to fear the night right along with your character. But your only chance is to face the dying light and use every ounce of wit, skill and courage you have to survive until morning comes.

As far as "open-world" zombie games are concerned, Dying Light nails it pretty good. I would definitely recommend this game to friends -- especially those who enjoy zombie culture.

 Until Dawn - PRE-OWNED - PlayStation 4
Until Dawn - PRE-OWNED - PlayStation 4
The wind blows through the trees atop the mountain as sunset turns to twilight. One of the most beautiful times of the day is supposed to be one of relaxation and recollection — but this night isn't like most nights. Your friends and you are trapped here in a remote retreat — but you're not alone. Tensions are running high, dread grips the group and no one knows what the next minute will bring. You'll have to fight through the fear to make it through the night. Do you have what it takes to last Until Dawn?Written in collaboration with cult writers/directors Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, Until Dawn plunges you into a remote mountain retreat where a group of eight friends is trapped. Fear permeates the group, and dread lurks around every corner as you are not alone. Every decision matters, as each choice you make has a ripple effect that may save a life — or place someone in grave peril. Branching storylines ensure no two gameplay experiences will be the same as you carve your path to survival. Immerse yourself in the horror with the power of the Killzone Shadow Fall engine that delivers realistic visuals and edge-of-your-seat gameplay. Who will survive?

Until Dawn is a great game for the horror movie fan. It's casual enough for the non-gamers, a great game to play with your significant other (especially if you both like scary movies) and also has a ton of replay value, if you want to see different endings.

Make sure your drive can burn DVD-R. If it can, then you are in business. They performed exactly as described and I have no complaints. The DVD sleeves that come with each disc is also pretty nifty.

Destiny is a fun game for a few hours, but it gets a little repetitive. However, it is best enjoyed with online play with some friends. Playing solo can get pretty old quickly.

 Batman: Arkham Knight Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
Batman: Arkham Knight Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
The shadows are his home and keeping Gotham's citizens safe is his sustenance. Darkness envelops his every move and his legend lives in the whispers of each passerby. Known by many names — the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, Batman — this man lives to protect. But by pitting himself against the criminals of a city, he has only made his laundry list of powerful enemies grow. One after another, a new and nefarious threat has risen up and one after another Batman succeeded in bringing them down. But what happens when those menacing masterminds join forces? Who will rescue Gotham when a deadly roster of depraved lunatics gangs up on the shadowed warrior? Who will save us all?The finale to the legendary Arkham series explodes onto your screen in the most adrenaline-pumping storyline yet. The Scarecrow has returned to Gotham City and he has united a terrifying team of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn. For the first time in the franchise, you get to step behind the wheel of the iconic Batmobile as you harness the power of Batman and scramble to outwit the wicked gang after your blood. Tear through the streets and soar across the skyline in heart-pounding gameplay that will suck you in and force you to ask yourself if you have what it takes to save Gotham. Do you have it within you to be the hero the city needs? Or will the villains of Gotham overtake the Dark Knight once and for all?

I have an older iMac from circa 2009 running the latest version of Yosemite. Will this work? My concern is the USB port. I'm not sure it's USB 3.0.
It will work, but it'll default to USB 2.0 speeds which is much slower than USB 3.0.
