Fun but with issues

Verified Purchase:Yes
The game is fun. It follows along a similar formula as Far Cry and Metal Gear in that you have main missions and a lot of side missions. The graphics are really good. Some games get way overboard with crafting and weapons options. Sniper has good solid crafting that makes sense. The weapons interface makes comparing weapons easy and straight forward.
However, this game has issues. Things I I don't like is you do not have the ability to do a quick save. This game is VERY SLOW to load. I have a good fast gaming computer and it loads so slow. I think it is Steam that is the issue.
This game also has more minor and some major glitches than the last 10 games I have played put together. There are so many spots where you get stuck and either have to go back to the last auto save or quit. I was walking through a pothole int he road and got stuck. I was climbing down a ladder that I had to go up for the mission and it would not let me get off. etc etc. My character has gotten stuck a number of times.
But the game is fun. I really like the stealth action shooter games.

Exciting but a little repetitive

The game was interesting enough. The graphics for the cut scenes were spectacular. This was the developers attempt at open world and for the most part it was pretty good. Lots of re-spawn locations which I found tiresome after awhile. Regarding the main store missions there were essentially 4 types of boss fights. Once you figured out the pattern necessary to defeat them they became routine. The main missions got away from the open world concept.
Over all the game is worth playing and can provide hours of game time. It just starts to get repetitive after about 12 hours.

Excellent for tracking but quirky on syncing
on April 17, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased Charge HR when it was on clearance because my employer has several heath related benefits and we can earn points by tracking our activity. It has been great for self motivating myself to get at least 10,000 steps a day and be more conscious about how I move.
However, it has been a bit quirky about syncing. At first I synced it to my phone and it worked great for a few days. Then my phone (Galaxy S6) would not find it anymore. I verified it was not my phone at issue. Long store short I ended up syncing it to my work computer. However, I have to take it off and place it right next to the Blue Tooth dongle that came with it.
On another note. Setting it up and with FitBit was easy and streamlined. The app on my phone is slick and easy to use.

I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas. On one hand it was a great purchase on the other not so. The Pro: It has great sound that can reach high volume and still sound good as well as really strong bass for its size. The Con: It has great sound that can reach high volume and still sound good as well as really strong bass for its size.
Good battery life and good range on the Blue Tooth

Low Cost impressive results

My daughter wanted the ability to watch TV in her room. So rather than paying $12 a month for a cable box and $300 for a decent TV I purchased a Roku Stick plus this monitor (has HDMI and audio outputs), and a decent set of computer speakers. Now she has HD TV in her room for only $50 + $110 + $25 = $185. I was leary as I had no experience with this brand but I am very please with the colors and resolutin.

Great Items, however could use minor improvments

I wanted to get the ROKU stick so i would not have to hook up my computer via HDMI to stream Amazon, Netflix and shows I failed to record on my TIVO. Hooked it up via Ethernet Cable to a gigabyte port on my router and I am simply amazed at how fast the Roku is. However, my TIVO failed on me and I am hesitant to pay for a new life time service. I hooked up a cable box, but the ROKU has become our main source of show watching. I even purchased a second one and a big computer monitor for my daughters bedroom. She now has HD video in her room. Just had to add on Computer Speakers. Cost a LOT less than a new TV or SmartTV.
My only two complaints and ROKU could fix this via upgrade.
1. I wish it had the capability of bookmarking shows you want to watch so you don't have to go looking for them all the time.
2. In a manner of speaking you can bookmark shows with the apps that carry it. however, it only seems to book mark those that cost a monthly subscription.

This dehumidifier really draws the water out of the air. I had no idea my prior one (not Frigidare) was so inefficient. You may be better off using the hose attachment it you can.

Snap steady shots with your compatible DSLR camera using this Manfrotto MKCOMPACTACN-BK tripod that extends up to 60" and folds down to 17.8" for compact storage. A quick-release plate and locking system allow simple attachment, removal and adjustment.
can i do panoramic without it moving vertically ?
I want it to pan left and right and not up and down. I see the feature that keeps it from going side to side but want to lock it from going up and down.
I find this tripod to be a bit sticky for panning. If you want to do a lot of that I would suggest a higher end tripod or looking at a monopod.
This one will tend to jerk a little. Fine for still photos but not so much for video

Will this tripod hold a Nikon 3100, with a 200 mm lens steady?
I is capable of holding it steady but not in a windy situation.
I have a Nikon D80 with a 200 mm and it doe fine. However I find the action on the head to be a bit sticky. Then again this is not a $250 tripod

does it come with or have drain attachment for latex or plastic hose?
with such hose it can drain into a sink from counter top in basement....
For continuous drainage operation, you will need a garden hose and a drain nearby to discharge the water into

properly if the temperature is out of this temperature range, or the performance of the unit will

attach extension cord?
I read somewhere that this unit will not work with an extension cord. Is this true?
Seriously doubt that would be true of a fan. However, I have one in my basement and it is plugged into an extension cord and works perfectly.

Which 25 ft HDMI cable can I use to connect 2 computers in different rooms to one modem?
I am trying to connect 2 pcs to my Internet modem, which is located in one room. I will need to drill a hole through the wall to feed the wires through, so I need the 25 ft HDMI, but I am not sure about which cable to buy? I have never done anything like this before, as is the reason for my question. Thank you. :))
Generally modems connect via Ethernet cables. If your using hdmi it should not make any difference. some will tell you that an expensive cable will give you better performance but this is generally not true.
