YOU CALL THAT ROWING!

Sun, 19 Aug 2001 23:40:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - I did this camp after my third year of high school rowing and signed up as a level 3 rower. The other levels were 1, never rowed before, and 2, one year of rowing. The description said that a level 3 rower has the potential to row on a college team...

Heavy but Comfy

Sun, 17 Sep 2000 02:58:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - I am a high school runner and I recently found out that I am an overpronater, meaning that my feet turn to the outside when I run. I bought the New Balance 853 because it gives support on the outside so as to compensate for this problem.

A Basic RPG

Fri, 28 Jul 2000 06:15:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - Final Fantasy VII is a fairly straightforward game, that meaning there is only one path that one can take to win. It is a basic RPG in that it has the skeleton of any RPG, that being money, buying and selling, turn based Combat, magic, and...

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 21:46:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - System Shock 2 is an excellent hybrid between an RPG and a first person shooter. The skills you acquire or lack thereof allow, inhibit, or facilitate certain acts such as firing an assault rifle or hacking a security system. You can increase your...

I didn't know I could blow that off!

Thu, 11 May 2000 01:31:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - Soldier of Fortune has got to be one of the most violent and gory games ever to be released. The enemy reactions of pain are realistic down to the enemy staying up until you cease firing your automatic weapon. If you have a powerful gun such as a magnum...

Gel Lyte for the lyte trainer

Sun, 16 Jan 2000 04:42:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - I took these shoes for a test jog at the store and boy were they soft. They were very comfortable on my feet, but they did not seem very durable. I felt like I could make a hole by stepping down too hard. I am an avid cross country runner who...

No Phony

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 01:23:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - This is a reliable solid phone that is adequate for the needs of the average American. It's got everything: speakerphone, two lines, speed dial, and an easy way to switch over to another call if you have call waiting. Most importantly, this also...

GE 2-9917 900MHz Cordless Phone: Who needs hands to talk

Sat, 15 Jan 2000 01:04:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - When I saw this phone for the first time, I just had to have it. It's the perfect phone. I can put the handset in my pocket and walk around the house while talking. The phone is very light, so it won't feel bulky. The charger does not take up...

Gotta have more Rainbow Six

Tue, 28 Dec 1999 20:56:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - If you liked Rainbow Six, Eagle Watch is definitely worth your while. There are three new weapons, two assault rifles and a Desert Eagle .50 caliber, new maps, and new characters to pick from. You get to battle in the Taj Mahal, Big Ben, the Senate...

Nothing Unreal about it

Mon, 27 Dec 1999 15:42:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - Unreal is a well-made game that offers a balance between shooting, exploring, and using your gray matter. The beautiful landscapes give the player an exotic setting to duel it out with blood-hungry monsters, with the help of a vast array of powerful...

Releasing this game was a Sin with a capital S

Sat, 25 Dec 1999 19:35:23 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - This game was the worst letdown I have ever experienced in my history of PC gaming. I played the demo and it ran fine. Everything ran smoothly, but when I bought it, I could not have been more pissed. Gameplay was choppy, the sound did not work, and...

Fallout 2 for Mac: I don't need no medication to shoot straight

Fri, 24 Dec 1999 05:56:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - Fallout 2 has it all: mutated ghouls, firebreathing lizards, snobs, gang rivalry, casinos, and plenty of gun jokes. In this turn based RPG, you begin as a tribal villager who must go on a quest find the holy GECK (Garden of Eden Creation Kit) in order...

Gotta Love Mass Destruction

Fri, 24 Dec 1999 04:26:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - Blast Corps was the first game in the 3rd party genre I have ever played, and I must say that it is, forgive the pun, a blast. It provides an original way of saving the world from nuclear destruction which is to destroy all infrastructure in the path of...

Pimp Shoes

Thu, 23 Dec 1999 18:51:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - Well, as you may have already noticed, most of the shoe articles found in this section deal mostly with the "running" aspect of the shoe. I on the other hand would like to point out a very different quality of them. Quite simply put these are...

The Ass-Kicker of All Exercise Machines

Thu, 23 Dec 1999 06:08:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - I have grown accustomed to this machine that I cannot bear to use an inferior one. The variable resistance gives it the perfect feel. I tried using a different machine after using the Concept II for a year. The new one I tried had too much resistance...

More Similar Levels and Unrealistic Play

Thu, 23 Dec 1999 05:04:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - I bought this game in hope that it would touch up on the details that were omitted in the first Delta Force, but I was gravely disappointed. If you read my review of the game's predecessor, you will see what I mean. The only thing you do is snipe and...

The Ideal Gear for Cold Days

Wed, 22 Dec 1999 18:17:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - I bought a JL long-sleeve coolmax top at the end of my first year of rowing. I am now well into my third year and I would say that this product has saved many of my workouts. It is perfect for keeping warm, but not too warm, on those cold misty...

Rolling Rolling Rolling

Wed, 22 Dec 1999 17:53:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - I picked up a pair of these just the other week. Since then, I have had no regrets. The design disperses the impact of your feet when they hit the ground. After taking them for a test jog, I knew they were the right pair for my feet. I had a blister...

Wed, 22 Dec 1999 06:57:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - Jagged Alliance 2 sets a whole new standard for RPG's. It is very realistic in terms of human behavior. Actions points, which determine how much a character can do in a turn, are dependent on the character's health, energy, morale, and agility. The...

It's all the same in this monotonous game

Wed, 22 Dec 1999 06:28:46 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - Delta Force was not very well thought out. The animation is terrible, each weapon deals out the same damage with the exception of the .22 caliber pistol which is weaker than the rest, and all the missions have the same objective which is to kill...

The Opposing Force to all games

Wed, 22 Dec 1999 05:52:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Area51 - If you liked the first Half-Life, then Opposing Force will not disappoint you. There are new and bigger enemies, more shooting and just as much thinking in finding your way around. The new guns are accurately portrayed. In the first Half-Life, the...
