Harbinger: Harbinger: Fun, but not addictive

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 01:38:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - The Harbinger: Destroyer of worlds. This monstrous spaceship has destroyed countless planets, and any survivors are used as experiments and slaves of the Overlords. Some creatures, however, have escaped into the depths of this vast vessel, existing as...

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:49:40 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - Dr. Jack Mason has been given yet another milk run. Assigned to escort a virus-infected prisoner between prisons in the not-so-distant future, Mason finds himself with yet another boring assignment at the twilight of his once illustrious career...

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 21:22:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - Grand Theft Auto. Arguably, one of the most well-known and hyped game series of the past few years. San Andreas, the third title in the GTA series, puts you in the shoes of Carl Johnson, a former die-hard street hood looking for a new life away from...

Dish Network DishPVR 501 System: Beats the hell out of the antenna...

Mon, 25 Nov 2002 02:33:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - Recently, we've relocated to a home which, oddly, has no nearby access to cable TV (unless we want to pay to dig a trench, which we don't). When a friend suggested satellite TV to the alternative we had (approximately 1 1/2 channels), we thought we'd...

Dairy Queen: Mmmm... Dilly Bars...

Tue, 11 Dec 2001 15:42:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - A new DQ was just completed in our thriving metropolis (about 5,000 people, give or take), and like every other schmoe in town, I thought I'd go check out the place. I'd been a fan of the DQ near my work when I lived in another state some three years...

The Little Phone that Could, sort of...

Tue, 24 Jul 2001 10:07:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - I was recently issued a Kyocera (Qualcomm) QCP 2035a cell phone for work purposes, and have been using this particular model extensively over the past month. Here's my analysis so far.

The QCP 2035a model is a lightweight, streamlined cell...

IMHO, the best "pop" album of 1995

Thu, 26 Apr 2001 10:57:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - I purchased Eric Matthew's It's Heavy In Here album, sadly, after seeing the video for "Fanfare" on VH-1. I shouldn't say it was the video that I liked especially, it was the music. Pop mixed with brass fanfares, it intrigued me enough to go out...

Panasonic Sonic ES727S Electric Shaver: The Best of a Bad Lot

Wed, 18 Apr 2001 13:06:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - After writing my latest review on electric razors in general, I have finally decided to review this razor. I received one as a gift from my mother (since my wife doesn't like the stubble, wonder where Mom got the idea...) a couple of months ago, so now...

Spank This Monkey...

Wed, 4 Apr 2001 14:50:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - The wife and I were fortunate enough to score some free sneak preview movie passes from our local radio station, so we got a sitter and went.

Unfortunately, the film was Monkeybone.

Apparently, the story is about cartoonist Stu...

Winter's Heart: More of the same...

Tue, 23 Jan 2001 12:31:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius -

Note: I don't like to spoil books by revealing too much information about specific detail. You want that kind of review? Go somewhere else. Or read the spoiler at the bottom.

Winter's Heart is the latest book in Robert Jordan's...

Apple LaserJet 2100tn Laser Printer: Another great HP printer

Tue, 2 Jan 2001 11:59:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - Hewlett Packard is spoiling me! They make such great printers, and the 2100 series is no exception. Our maintenance shop needed a good laser printer that can take a high level of abuse and still print, the 2100TN is the right printer for the job.

People, this ain't "Gilligan's Island"

Wed, 27 Dec 2000 18:27:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - I went to see "Cast Away" over the weekend with friends. The movie met with mixed reviews among the five of us, and I was surprised to see that I was the one who enjoyed it the most. It wasn't a romantic look at life on a deserted island,...

Pizza Hut: "Alms for an Ex-Leper", or an ex-Hut employee's take

Tue, 26 Dec 2000 17:06:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - In my area (and for that matter, in every area I've ever lived), Pizza Hut is the dominant force in local pizza chain restaurants. On the "McD's Ruler" (see my McDonald's article), I would award it about 6 inches over the top of said ruler...

Burger King: Have it your way? Sure, if that means "propane-flavored"

Tue, 26 Dec 2000 12:43:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - I stated in an earlier Epinion that McDonald's is the yardstick by which all other fast food is measured. And I am not a fan of McDonald's. This said, Burger King reaches the 8 inch mark on the McD's yardstick. Barely. Burger King is BAD, folks. And...

Sounds better than my stereo

Tue, 26 Dec 2000 12:25:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - The ACS45 series of speakers by Altec Lansing came with my recent ABS computer purchase. I have been especially pleased with them, as well as the rest of the product shipped by ABS (read my earlier review...).

The ACS45 speaker system is as...

McDonald's: McD's: the yardstick by which ALL fast food is measured

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 11:24:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - Yes, people, like it or not, McDonald's is probably the best known and most frequented fast food restaurant in the world. That being said, it is also the most mediocre of fast food joints. Sure, there are some worse ones out there, but as a chain,...

Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4050n Printer: A solid, no-frills workhorse printer

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 12:22:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - We have purchased several of these printer in the past few months, all of which have been problem-free from the beginning.

The 4050 is the model used to replace the old LaserJet 6 model, as the two cases look remarkably similar. The 4050...

Microsoft Windows NT: A "hardware" geek's take on NT

Thu, 7 Dec 2000 18:47:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - Let me just say I am not and never will be a true "OS-phile". I am not a Microsoft fan, nor am I rabid over Linux, MacOS, OS/2, or any other operating system out there. They all have good features and all are valid for today's business world...

Jersey Mike's Subs: Damn! Big Subs!

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 17:41:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - Since moving to the East Coast, I was exposed early on to the Jersey Mike's experience. My team and I had just worked through lunch (again), and our boss was good enough to let us order in on the business' tab. A coworker suggested Jersey Mike's, and...

Epson Stylus Color 760 InkJet Printer: Great quality, ink hog

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 11:50:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - This printer was part of the package I purchased from ABS Computers (see my earlier Epinion), and deserves an Epinion of its own.

The Epson Stylus series of printers are a medium-sized desktop inkjet printer. Epson's claim to fame is their...

I've had better. Much better.

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 17:36:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - While on business in Philadelphia, several friends and I decided to go to the Dock Street Brasserie. The main reason was that it was very close to our locale, and with the limited time we had for lunch, closest was best.

The decor and...

Palm IIIc Handheld: It's pretty, but...

Wed, 8 Nov 2000 21:08:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - The Palm IIIc Color handheld device is a pretty neat piece of equipment. I have had to order several for my executive staff. The reason we went with the IIIc was twofold: First, because the Vx model was backordered through our supplier (and the IIIc...

APC Back-UPS Pro 420VA (BP420S) UPS System: Secure, but is it for everyone?

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 00:59:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - When looking for a UPS, the APC name is pretty much the standard. Their products seem to be the dominant name in the market today. I purchased ones for my home and office PC, and they've performed reliably, even in pressure situations. However, do you...

Compaq Armada M700 (226480-001) PC Notebook: It's good, but for top-of-the-line I expect much more

Thu, 2 Nov 2000 14:19:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - To finish my series of computers I work with daily, here's my take on the M700 offering from Compaq. Bear in mind, I have just recently finished reformatting one to redistribute to a member of my executive staff.

The M700 is one of the...

Compaq Armada E500 (470027-663) PC Notebook: A better Compaq offering

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 11:53:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Naughtius - The Compaq Armada E500 is my particular corporation's high-end computer solution. This model and the M700 are the two that have passed muster for executive use. These machines are used extensively for both on the road use as well as desktop work in...
