At first these lens look like they don't make a difference, but if you wear them your eyes will adapted to the sights and become far more relaxed. Once you remove them your eyes exhaust more quickly. This is a legit product and is not only for gaming. I use these more for my computer screen. (46in LED Samsung)
If you really focus on where these glass frame swivel you ll notice that there are two little pins (1 mm) connecting it to the lenses. These can be easily broken. The lenses can get oily quickly.
Overall I love this item and so do my eyes. They stay more hydrated with them on and the colors are more vivid.
What's great about it: Vivid colors
What's not so great: Durability of metal

Build or modify your own PC:Yes
Level of Expertise:Average
Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Upgrader
I just put this Power Supply Unit (PSU) in my Asus CM-6730-04 to replace a 300 watt PSU. This is the first time I ve replace a PSU and all you really have to do is unplug and re-plug. I notice it has lots of extra connection just in case you need to get some add ons. I got this PSU because I will be add a 1 GB GDDR5 to my PC, so I need the extra juice. It also comes with a great ventilation fan to keep it cool. The notice level...wait, I could barley hear it. Yeah, its really quite. (Just a plus)
Oh, when reconnecting the cords to the motherboard the PSU comes with a 20 pin connection for older CPUs and an additional 4 pin connection that would be placed right next to the 20 pin for newer PCs.
What's great about it: Easy of set up, has a big fan
What's not so great: None

I use it in...:Small home
I ve had this router for nearly 3 years now and I ve had no problems whatsoever. The installation is so easy a caveman can do it....really. I have 3 pcs, an xbox 360, wii, 3 smartphone, a tablet, two internet HDTV all connected to this router. No lag at all with Time Warner Cable 7 Mbps with Turbo Boost. Most router at the price rang of $100-$180 have 6 antennas where this router has 8. I have a normal sized 3 bedroom house with the router at the far back room of the house. I can take my laptop to the front of the house and across the street over 110 ft and still be connected and a slow speed.
Overall this is a top line router.
What's great about it: Easy set up, long distance.
What's not so great: The lights cant be dimmed down.

Got this product to hook up with my Roadrunner and I have not seen any problems with my internet as fas as the cable modem goes. I have 15Mbps with Power boost and at times, I even get 19-20 Mbps. So I know there is really no lag or disconnection from this product. Basically, I don't even know its there, because if I did, then that means there would be a problem because it wouldn't work.
What's great about it: Super easy to set up.
What's not so great: Only one ethernet port. Wish there were a few gigabit ports.

Epic story; Impacting choices!
on January 29, 2011
Posted by: Michael619
from McAllen, TX
If you like part one, then you'll more than likely enjoy this one. For me, this game right of the bat totally changes from part one as far as the story goes. So, try non to be discoraged from the total game change. I dont want to leek anything to new people who want to get the game. Another thing is the way stats are from part one. In part one we had many attributes to choose from but in part two there aren't as many. Still ME2 is an outstanding game and there are more impacting choices that will be sure to strong effect the next part!
What's great about it: More friends, loyalty with friends unlocks skills with them.
What's not so great: It was hard for me to convert to the new storyline.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Learn more about Mass Effect. (Flash demo) Every 50,000 years, ancient machines swoop down and send the galaxy spinning into a continual cycle of extinction. Careful not to leave behind any evidence of their existence, these merciless machines have fooled everyone into thinking this deadly process is just a legendary hoax, but you know the truth. The most important struggle the galaxy has ever seen now needs your help. Join the fight against an alien onslaught and save the future of the universe.Take on the role of Commander Shepard of the SS Normandy and lead your elite recon squad in intense, real-time combat across a galaxy on the brink of turmoil and despair. Assume responsibility for the lives of your team members, whom you must rely on to stop the swarms of hostile alien enemies. The characters you control communicate via branching dialogue and display emotions through various facial expressions. This is an RPG that really thrusts you into the action. Choose your squad, weapons, skills and abilities, and customize your vehicles, armor and appearance. Most of all, harden your heart to face an enemy that lacks even an ounce of mercy.

Top 5 all time for me!

I really didn't what to expect off a game some weird alians on the cover so I never got the game until a few months because a friend recommended it to me. My first 20 mins of gameplay were some what okay, getting use to the controls. Then after the 20 mins. the story kicked in strong. It really kepted me going. The game is not too difficult, but the story is epic and its not a walk in the park game either. I also like when its your turn to speak or say something, your chraracter actually speaks with emotions or additude witch really got me into the too beacuse I hate to read it myself. The game also has level ups for your player and stats that you can use to make your character how you want him or her. I truely recommend this game, and please do not judge this game by it cover.
What's great about it: Story: you make your own choices that effect the next 2 games!
What's not so great: Needs more weapons

Protect yourself from identity theft by using this all-purpose shredder to destroy documents and other office materials you don't want other people to see.
Posted by: Michael619
from McAllen, TX
I really didn't know what shredder I wanted to get, but thanks to all these people who wrote their reviews, I went with this one. I just needed this for general use and personal mail. I really like the durability of this product. Once I carried the shredder, I knew by the weight it was a sturdy one. I took it out and was able to use within a minute. I tested out 7 papers and a cd and it chugged it up like a college student with a beer. I think this is a great product for its price and reliability.
What's great about it: Easy to set up.
What's not so great: Wish it shredded in small diamonds.

I got my Xbox 360 around July of 2009, and played a handful of high awarded games and was'nt really to in to them. I was thinking, maybe gaming is'nt for me, until I got RDR and was amazed. This game really got me back into gaming. It was like nothing I had ever played in my life. I loved it so much I decided to save it so when my son is able to play, he would enjoy it too.
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: N/A

Perfect for 3D
on January 28, 2011
Posted by: Michael619
from McAllen, TX
I got this for my Samsung 6900 BD player and for my Samsung 8000 3D HDTV, and it looks great. The quality just blew me away how a cable can my a difference. I usally go with Monster due to a better price but, I decided to go all out on my home theater. Only I got this item for a good price, so I think its well worth it for me. I think you should only get this for a top line HDTV and BD player... not for anything else because you'll be wasting money for a top line cable.
What's great about it: Great cable.
What's not so great: PRICE!

Good backup

The Evo screen is already scratch proof. I tested it with a Kershaw knife and it didnt leave a mark. A good thing of getting the shield is it provide some finger prints resistant, the physical screen wont get wet in case u spill something on it, and if you just want that extra reinsurance.
What's great about it: Cleans easy
What's not so great: the installation is not easy for some people.
