I would have like to rated this 4.5 stars, but that's not an option. I just can't give it 5 stars because it's not a full, split ergonomic keyboard like my former Microsoft one; so, it's not quite as comfortable for long keyboarding sessions. It works great and was easy to set up.

I've used this TV for just over a month now, and it has not disappointed me at all. Extremely low lag; so, it's great for use with video games. HDR and 4K seems to work well. No issues.

Wow, big improvement over my old subwoofer. My son is actually complaining that it's too much. I didn't even think "too much bass" was possible for someone his age!

In my opinion, the look of this special edition PS4 is the best yet. Even the special edition controller is super swank. Internally, the PS4 Pro definitely provides consistent 4K gaming. Color me impressed!

Destiny 2 Standard Edition - Xbox One
From the makers of the acclaimed hit game Destiny, comes the much-anticipated sequel. An action shooter that takes you on an epic journey across the solar system.Humanity’s last safe city has fallen to an overwhelming invasion force, led by Ghaul, the imposing commander of the brutal Red Legion. He has stripped the city’s Guardians of their power, and forced the survivors to flee. You will venture to mysterious, unexplored worlds of our solar system to discover an arsenal of weapons and devastating new combat abilities. To defeat the Red Legion and confront Ghaul, you must reunite humanity’s scattered heroes, stand together, and fight back to reclaim our home.
More streamlined... but is that good?

At first, I appreciated the so-called "quality of life" improvements Destiny 2 made over the original game. However, the simplifications that made the early game smooth, really hurt the end-game content for dedicated players. For example, if every instance of a particular gun has the exact same roll, there's no reason to "grind" for the "god-roll". It's a Catch-22, for a game like Destiny. Even taking this approach though, Bungie went too far. Why don't the raid armor and weapons have raid-specific perks that other armor and guns don't have? Why don't Iron Banner armor and weapons have IB-specific perks? It makes those end-game activities much less essential to the game.
Overall, the game is good, but I don't think it has the staying power that the first Destiny game had.

I had heard the E3 buzz, and I had read the glowing professional reviews; so, I was a bit concerned that Super Mario Odyssey might be a let down. In hindsight, I had nothing to fear. Great graphics! Solid game play! Variety of game play! A game with plenty of nostalgia that is somehow still able to re-invent itself and stand out from the many Marios before it.

I've not gone crazy with the whole amiibo thing, but I've picked up some of my favorites. The BotW Guardian may be my all-time favorite. It looks great -- intimidating, just like the in-game Guardians. Plus, the in-game rewards this amiibo provides are among the best of any of the other amiibo(s?).

At first, Destiny 2 doesn't seem that much different from the original Destiny game -- same solid gun play, same enemy races, same objectives to get the best performing and best looking gear, etc. However, the longer you play, the more you realize just how much Bungie has tweaked the formula. Better story telling, LOTS of "quality of life" improvements, reasons to participate in public events and explore the ~open world. (By quality of life above, I mean that Bungie streamlined the user experience -- no more going to orbit before going anywhere else, no need to go to the Tower to pick up quests/missions, and actual in-game interactive map, etc.)
There is still more that could be done. One complaint is that the sort feature of the Vault is baffling to understand, and we could really use a filter feature in addition to (an improved) sort feature. There are long wait queues for the new Guided Games feature, which may cause people to abandon using it.
Overall, Destiny 2 is a fitting successor to the original game.

Is this unit portable enough to use in a gym?
It's small enough to take to the gym, but you would need to plug it into a power source and connect it to an satellite antenna; so, I'd say it's not intended to be THAT portable.
I think the main portability feature is to/from your vehicle and your home.
