Wed, 17 Jul 2002 12:51:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - Children, I have always believed, have an innate talent for logic. Perhaps because they are relatively untouched by the “real world” they are still able to reason and rationalize without worrying about what the rest of the world thinks of them. As a...

Gathering of Developers Tropico: As you wish, El Presidente!

Thu, 25 Apr 2002 13:11:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - I’m a huge fan of city-building sim-type games (as you can tell from my other reviews), and I was very intrigued when I heard about Tropico. A game that appoints me as El Presidente, gives me an island to rule and the power to control the lives of all...

Fri, 8 Mar 2002 13:49:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - I have had a love/hate relationship with Everquest for three years now. That’s right, you heard me. I’ve played the same video game for three years – since April of 1999.

You might be asking, “What on earth would keep you coming...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - Every once in a while, I get one of those special CDs. You know what I’m talkin’ about – the kind that make me feel like I’m being taken away to some groovy, dark club (preferably somewhere in the UK) – with my hair all pulled up so it doesn’t...

Are you kidding me?

Tue, 31 Jul 2001 20:19:51 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - A funny thing happened to me weekend before last… well, not exactly funny, but something that made me cringe and chuckle all in one breath.

I went out to a “rave” in Atlanta. I was dancing around a bit, watching & listening to the DJ,...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - ***EDIT on 10/31/01***

I had to reduce my rating for AO to 3-stars. Why? Because here we are months later and many of the game problems I originally wrote about have not been fixed. Yes, it was a great concept - but the implementation was rocky,...

Thu, 14 Jun 2001 22:38:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - I got interested in house music about 8 years ago. I remember the first rave I ever went to (while I was still in college - this was 1992 or so?) – I stood there, rapt in awe of one person…the DJ. He was standing up on a small stage, everyone dancing...

Netflix.com: Yup, Netflix is good!

Wed, 13 Jun 2001 15:40:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - I first heard about Netflix last year when my brother and sister-in-law bought a DVD player. I went to visit and they had two DVDs – I was informed we had to watch them that evening, because my brother had to return them the next day...

Make way! New Darude fan coming through!

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 12:28:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - I think I'm somewhat of an oddity - I love watching movies, but I rarely love the movies I watch. Still, I continue to rent about 5-10 DVDs per month, I subscribe to three movie channels through my cable company and I go out to the movie theatre once or...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - I was drawn to Black & White by some EverQuest friends from England (Lionhead Studios, creator of Black & White, is in England). Two weeks before its impending release, my friends and I talked about this title constantly – what kind of god we would be,...

Tue, 5 Jun 2001 12:07:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - Yes, I am a 30 year old, professional, married, white female and I love video games! I know, I cross over many of the stereotypical boundaries of avid video game players – or at least that’s what my EverQuest friends tell me.

So, what kind of...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - Okay, okay - I confess. I love change.

I'm well known for my new hairstyles, make-up schemes and wardrobes. My house gets a complete make-over at least once per year (and that includes the two gardens I have outside). I like having new...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - After hearing only one collection by Dave Seaman, he is already vying for a spot on my "top 5 favorite DJs" list. And yes, I really do have a list.

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 14:13:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - I live in Charlotte, NC; not your Cosmopolitan-hotspot for cool & clique-ish coffee shops, I must say. But, we do have a few and I do know the difference between good coffee and really bad coffee.

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 13:24:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - Years ago, I was a loyal AltaVista user. Not only did I use AltaVista, I taught others to use it (I was a computer instructor for almost two years, and my specialty was the Internet, so I taught a lot of people how to use search engines).

I Admit it, I'm a Freak!

Fri, 10 Nov 2000 19:10:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - DJ Dan has been a spinner-extraordinaire of what I refer to as "stompin'-music" for quite some time. I call it stompin'-music because that's what it makes you feel like doing, STOMPING around. The music is invariably intense and loud in...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - I was a guest at the Renaissance Stanford Court Hotel for a total of four days while on a business trip in San Francisco. I haven't had much experience in the "luxury hotel" arena, as most of my travel has been budget travel around the States...

Good...but not his best

Wed, 20 Sep 2000 15:00:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Sundrop - Paul van Dyk's 1998 release "45 RPM" is a journey into the world of heavy trance "electronica". Van Dyk gives us twelve original tracks (almost 70 full minutes-worth), rather than a mixed DJ set. Though not his best work, it was...
