If you liked series, this season won't disappoint

Those who followed series will not be disappointed with the final season (well, perhaps a little). As usual, lots of action taking place throughout the world, good effects and basically solid acting. The plot sort of stretches the credibility factor at times, but hey!, it is entertaining. If you watched the 1st season that hooked me to series, you more or less know what to expect as to longevity of characters. Same with the final season. In this one we get to know (sort of "out-of-the-blue") the son of one member of the "dynamic duo" and we get to continue the sort of "deja vu" in the "love affairs" of the other member. All-in-all, worth it at the discounted price.

Worth my getting a new graphic card

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you were a fan of Fallout 3, you will enjoy this version. Caveat, I have not yet played much and notice that there is no "!" at the end of my review summary statement. So far, I like how the story is developing and there being a companion dog that looks like one we had (in real life). I think combat seems different (better), there's more stuff "base" building, the menus seem somewhat cumbersome. Graphics are great (but my old SLI could have managed were it not because they would not do DirectX 12); I do think this version is more colorful. For those who like games like Skyrim, this is a HUGE world to explore (100s of hours?) in a non-linear way (well, at the beginning it will be somewhat linear but that is, basically, the "training session". Can't go wrong for less than $40 and if you already have a DirectX12 card!

Good movie for the price

The Under the Skin Blu-ray was discounted when I bought it. It is an unusual SF film to say the least. It, in my opinion, is one of those movies that makes you rethink what you thought through repeated viewing. What is happening? Is there also some sort of social critique behind what you see? Well, it is for you to find out. Let me just say that Johansson does quite well in this film. Don't miss it from the bargain bean.

Good monitor for the price

Verified Purchase:Yes
This review if for the HP 25 IPS monitor. The heavily discounted price is what made this a great. The monitor has, in the short time it has been with me, lived up to expectations. I would have given it 4 1/2 stars but no way to do that in the overall rating section above. The reason why it does not get the 5 stars is because the touch buttons sometimes need to be touched 3-4 times to activate--however, it may be that my fingers lack sufficient conductivity for the sensor to function. Buy it if price is very close to $100.

GeForce 970 will satisfy most needs

Verified Purchase:Yes
This review if for the actual NVIDEA card. I found it a great card for the price I paid (BB did a price match with another type of 970) and my getting the latest Tomb Raider game free. The issue you see in reviews and forums on whether the card has or not 4GBs has, in my case, no bearing in playing my games at highest setting. It substituted my EVGA GTX 260s (SLI, dual) and runs everything better--although I would have continued with my old cards were it not for their Directx 10 limitation. Why no 5 stars? Well, because the NVIDIA GeForce Experience program that installs keeps indicating that new drivers are available but will not download them. I have tried leaving mssgs at the NVIDIA site but no luck yet. I may end up having to call.

Season 2 of this involving crime drama continues to chronicle the exploits of an ex-con who assumes the identity of a lawman named Lucas Hood (Antony Starr) in the small, out-of-the-way Pennsylvania town of Banshee. The season kicks off with the arrival of an FBI special agent (Zeljko Ivanek) who opens an investigation into the vicious shootout between Hood and New York mob czar Rabbit (Ben Cross), whom the "lawman" once double-crossed, and metes out his own brand of justice. Hood's former partner-on-crime, Carrie ( Ivana Milicevic), tries to patch up things with husband, Gordon (Rus Blackwell), and daughter, Deva (Ryann Shane ), but is spurned. Meanwhile, a horrific murder triggers problems between the Amish community and the Kinaho tribe, and during the investigation, Lucas and his deputies confront an unruly gang of Kinaho bikers. Local crime kingpin Proctor (Ulrich Thomsen) takes matters into his own hands and delivers a peace offering to the Kinaho in hopes of cooling off the hostilities between the two groups. In the Season 2 finale, Lucas and Carrie head to New York, where they prep for a final showdown with Rabbit.

If you liked 1st season, this is for you!

Once you accepted the premise of a "bad-guy-who-is not-that-bad" assuming the identity of lawman in the 1st season--and let's face it, other series make you assume a lot more--you were in for a ride. The 2nd season picks up where it left and the thrill continues. Good characters/acting/plot lines/action (and price I paid) made this a great buy. If you didn't see the 1st season, you can anyway enjoy this one.

Had used this paper before and am always looking for it at a discount, which makes the price right. Although paper is just paper, I like the whiteness of this one and its contrast with black and colors.

Here is another take of the Alien franchise. It is now my second favorite of the series, tied with the original Alien (if you are curious, first place is for Aliens). Good acting--it is a treat to see Noomi Rapace's performance.

If you have seen and liked The Raid: Redemption, you will surely like this one. Must say that this one's plot is . . . well, who watches this for the plot? Still, taking one star off because of it (Redemption had a better plot). As always the action scenes' choreography is great and the acting is as good as can be expected.

If you played the console version, you know.

For me, this is so far an experiment going/gone wrong. For PC you need a graphics card that runs DirectX v11 or up. My rig runs fast (Quad core, 12GB of ram, SLI, dual 500GB hdds just for speed, etc) but only DirectX 10. I had read that you could run the game by doing some file modification once you got a Direct X setup error warning. When the game fell below $10, I purchased it (I was not going to scratch my graphic cards but $10 I could throw down the drain). Began the install and everything seemed OK until I got an error with the audio files install. Will do some research about that and if nothing, I will wait until I upgrade my system to play it. Recommendation so far: only get the PC version if you are able to run DirectX 11.

HP Envy 4500 e-All-in-One Printer: With built-in Wi-Fi, this e-all-in-one printer provides a wireless connection to your network, so you can print, copy and scan with ease. HP ePrint and Apple® AirPrint let you print from your enabled mobile device.
 

How can I keep the Envy 4500 printer from "going to sleep"

My 4500 goes off almost as soon as I print something and before I can get the next things ready to print. Is there a setting to control this?
RE: HP Envy 4500: There is a "sleep" setting under "preferences" in the main menu. Goes from 5 minutes up.
