Get this title--by any means necessary!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - I was really hesitant to purchase this game when I heard who was developing it--not so much Gas Powered Games, but.. Microsoft? Sure, I trust their Office suite, have had a good experience with WinXP, and I hear their flight simulators are excellent....

Excellent investment!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - As a classical musician, my interest in minidisc recorders began with the idea of being able to record my practice sessions and recitals easily without lots of equipment. After trying out the MZ-R500 (see my other review) I settled on the MZ-R900DPC and...

Smart buy for casual MD users

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - In addition to my hobbies of reading, cooking, and computers I am also an avid music collector and aficionado--also, I am a classical musician (working on my master's degree in performance). I bought this MiniDisc recorder with the hopes of using it as...

A great (but short) journey

Fri, 19 Oct 2001 12:09:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - Out of all the games based on the Infinity engine, I think that Icewind Dale has to be my favorite, just for its spectacular artistry and perfect captivation of the bleak and desolate landscape of the Dale. Sure, the Baldur's Gate series has much more...

A worthy investment, dude

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 13:46:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - I would definitely say that for the last few years the most overlooked, neglected, uncared-for, forgotten and altogether ignored piece of equipment in my PC is my sound card. I bought my latest PC back in 1998 and just took whatever cheesy PCI card came...

Definitely a room with a view..

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 04:36:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - Those who know me know that I move towards more dramas than anything else and therefore I see lots of them. This movie in particular really touched me and I was surprised that it wasn't more of a hit than it was. Of course, the list of stars had plenty...

Hits so close to home

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 04:18:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - This movie is so touching it's hard to be concise. I think I can relate to this film on so many levels that it really hits home and it's wonderful to be writing about it!

The synopsis (true story):A highly gifted young pianist decides to...

Ultima Online: Get me out of here!

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 09:49:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - Maybe I'm just bitter towards Ultima Online. After all, like any other red-blooded, dyed-in-the-wool techno-geek that loves hyphens, I pride myself on being able to hack and slash just about anything to death given enough time. What I thought would be...

A bit plastic..

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 09:31:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - The game LOOKS great, it SMELLS great, but is it great? I dunno..

I should preface this by saying I'm a huge Computer RPG fan. I've played every single Comptuer RPG released (ah, well, uh.. well, pretty darn close!). I have played and...

Icewind Dale for Windows: It may be frosty, but the game is HOT

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 09:10:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - I consider myself a Big #1 fan of Interplay. Huge. Really really big fan. They just keep getting better and better.

After having fully consumed Baldur's Gate/Tales of the Sword Coast, I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of BG2 and heard that...

Interplay comes of age

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 08:59:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - Wow. Simply Wow.

I can't say enough about the new Baldur's Gate 2. In fact, it's hard to be concise and objective about it! Let me find the words..

First of all, I'm aware that many people had difficulties in installing and...

With a cherry on top..

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 08:49:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - Being a diehard Interplay/Bioware fan, I bought Tales of the Sword Coast a couple of months ago as the add-on to the original Baldur's Gate. Of course, most everyone can find it in stores these days for around 19.00, or purchase it via online...

Fond memories!

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 13:04:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - Vanderbilt holds a very unique place in my life. Having grown up in Nashville, Vanderbilt's prestige always loomed over every math test or spelling bee in living memory (if you miss this, you'll never get into Vanderbilt!). However my math tests and...

Don't you wish you had THIS!

Mon, 15 May 2000 04:50:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - Let me be the first epinioneer to use my seductive charm to get you to see this video! When I was growing up, at the spry age of about 12 years old, Whoopi Goldberg Live on Broadway (was it 1985 or 86?) used to come on HBO and my mother, being the...

One of his best

Mon, 15 May 2000 04:29:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - I have been watching Woody Allen films ever since I discovered it was fashionable to be intellectually extemporaneous. While I don't think all of his films are successful, I do think that he's more daring to try different ideas than many filmmakers...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: Quantex is A-OK for me!

Fri, 14 Apr 2000 22:06:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - I have heard lots of mixed reviews from Quantex owners but I'll say this. I've had nothing but success with this computer. The only thing that ever happened to my Quantex happened during the first week of ownership, where my power supply blew. A...

Bad, bad, bad. B - A - D

Fri, 14 Apr 2000 21:29:03 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - Let me just say that I wasted at least 4 hours downloading the trial version of this game. It was horrible. Horrible rendering, non-working speech, a graphics engine that apparently took no advantage of my Voodoo 3dfx card. I can't think of one good...

A different perspective

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 01:35:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - My personal experience with Rhodes has not been as a student, but rather as a participant in programs offered at the college. I can say from an outside perspective that EACH AND EVERY Rhodes student I have run into on campus have been nothing short of...

U of M - Not a bad choice

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 01:14:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - After having been here five years, I think there are lots of pros and cons about this school. First of all, the most important aspect of a school is the program in which you are a major. I just happened to be in a good program with an excellent...

A must-play!

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 17:46:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - Ok, folks, I'm a huge computer RPG fan, having bought all Might&Magic series, all SSI games, all Bethesda titles, etc. I did thoroughly enjoy Baldur's Gate and here's why:

1. Fantastic story line. I felt the storyline was believable,...

MM7 - An excellent game!

Tue, 11 Apr 2000 23:25:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - I have played all other M&M games and I did enjoy M&M7 quite a bit. It was a vast improvement over Might and Magic VI in playability. All keyboard controls were re-assignable, and several options were added to enhance game play, such as the...

Getting in, from someone who did..

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 01:38:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tsilva25 - This opinion is from someone who should KNOW! I have just been accepted into Peabody Conservatory and can therefore comment on the audition process, at least for the piano performance program. First of all, I would highly recommend getting in touch...
