Epinions Recent Reviews for TheKodiak

A worthy sequel and then some

Thu, 15 May 2003 05:06:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - Overall, The Matrix Reloaded was an incredible piece of work. You have to accept that it set out with certain goals in mind - to be a sci-fi movie, to have lots of kung fu, and to showcase special effects. There was a plot, it was interesting and...

The trailer for Final Fantasy was nice.

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 13:01:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - I can't emphasize enough that the trailer for the Final Fantasy movie was, in itself, a better movie than this.

The only other good thing I can say is that the special effects are indeed incredible, and some of the action scenes are...

Better than an aquarium screensaver

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 13:33:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - The short answer is, yes, if you are the kind of person who would ever buy a Tamagotchi style game where you raise a rude, talking man-fish, you want Seaman. If you can't understand why someone would want to do that, you want to find someone who does,...

Haven't I played this before?

Thu, 17 Aug 2000 01:18:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - If you've ever played Bust-A-Move (Puzzle Bobble), you know what to expect from this title. The basic mechanics haven't changed one bit since the very first version. You aim a bubble at other bubbles; when three bubbles of the same color are touching,...

Great Galloping Grease!

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 19:30:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - I'm not a health nut, by any stretch of the imagination. I like fatty foods, and I can get into a nice greasy plate of hashed browns. But I think grease works best when it complements another flavor of some sort. The Waffle House does not seem to...

It's not the bread, it's what you put in it

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 21:32:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - I guarantee, if there is a Corner Bakery in your neighborhood, there's a local bakery that has better bread and desserts only a few miles away. I can't guarantee, however, that your local bakery has a good assortment of salads, soup, sandwiches and...

Great food, if you're lucky

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 00:16:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - The food at Taco Cabana can be great. I have found one location in Dallas (Preston and Frankford) that is consistantly excellent - the rest, in Dallas at least, vary widely in quality.

If you have a good Taco Cabana experience, you will have...

Often fantastic, just as often crowded

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 20:17:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - First off, the orange juice is the best I've ever had at a breakfast place. I've never been sorry I ordered the orange juice, no matter how pricey it is. The orange juice alone makes it worth the trip for me.

One thing I've always hated...

Good value, ice cream, and burgers

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 04:20:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - Braum's is probably the best value in a full-service ice cream chain anywhere. They always have a good variety of ice cream available, and cones are generally under $2, even for a double-dip. Unfortunately, because they do rotate flavors, your...

Better than arcade

Sat, 10 Jun 2000 02:19:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - To start with, I should point out that no single series of games has taken more quarters from me than Gauntlet. The only reason I stopped spending $10/week on Gauntlet Legends in the arcade was because it was coming out for Dreamcast. So, clearly,...

Perfect if you can do everything online

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 15:14:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - Like most credit unions, the biggest problem with Community Credit Union (CCU) is the lack of ATMs. Everything else is stellar. But with a Visa Check Card available for all members, you rarely need to find an ATM for anything except to make a deposit...

The Beam: Be wary

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 02:39:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - When I rented my apartment, they told me they had digital cable. When I moved in, I discovered my "cable" provider was "The Beam", not AT&T as I had expected. The Beam is a ground-based wireless provider, meaning that their...

Spaten Optimator: My favorite beer

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 02:03:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - I have recently been trying beer after beer in an attempt to discover what I like. I am tempted to end the search here. Unfortunately, I lack the vocabulary to do this fine Doppelbock justice. It is certainly strong - 7.2% alcohol by volume. It is...

Better than a dorm

Mon, 17 Apr 2000 16:39:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - The campus housing is apartment-style, not dormitory style. However, although the apartments are not managed by the University, only full-time students may live in the apartments. The sense of community is nowhere near as strong as dormitory living...

Sporty but small

Mon, 17 Apr 2000 16:22:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TheKodiak - The RAV4 is great fun to drive, on-road and off. It's roomier than a hatchback, with good ground-clearance. The small engine is surprisingly powerful. It's off-road performance is reasonable for a car, although it doesn't compete with a Jeep or...
