Work for what?

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 00:20:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - One of the parts of financial aid you can receive is the Work Study program. Sounds good? Well one of the only advantages to it is that the government usually doesn't take taxes out of you wages. Most work study jobs pay only minimum wage, but many of...

Mario Kart for Nintendo 64: Somebody Please hit me with a shovel

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 04:36:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - If there was ever a game that made me want to puke this is it. In this game you run around with different colored Yoshis trying to keep them happy. Every time you finish a level you get a "Yoshi is increased in happiness" message that makes you...

Vigilante 8 for Nintendo 64: Make your own justice

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 04:27:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Twisted metal used to be the standard. Now Vigilante 8 has taken that position. The graphics are great, the levels are huge and cool (like the ski resort). With all kinds of vehicles, cars, buses, trucks, and a alien space craft, you'll have all sorts of...

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil for Nintendo 64: Seeds of Kicking Butt

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 22:23:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - A serious upgrade on Turok Dinosaur Hunter, Turok 2 Seeds of Evil is one great game. The graphics are amazing even without the expansion pak, the control is tight and the Artificial Intelligence is good. The levels are much bigger and better looking...

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for Nintendo 64: To kill a dinosaur

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 21:01:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - There are not too many games that let you kill both people and dinosaurs with a triple rocket launcher. Turok is a cool game, the graphics are good, the controls are tight and the ambient sound keeps you on edge thinking you're about to be shot in the...

Super Mario for Nintendo 64: Oldie but a Goodie

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 04:28:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - One of the very first of the N64 games to ever come out, Super Mario 64 is a cool game. Sure it may be a bit dated now, but it is still really fun. It is also still the standard that games of its type are compared too. As you progress through the castle...

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron for Nintendo 64: Fight the Empire

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 04:19:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Lucas Arts never fails to put out a solid game. Rouge Squadron is a great game. With many different fighters to fly including some hidden ones like the naboo fighter, a 62 Cadillac (yes I'm serious), and a Tie Interceptor. The graphics are beautiful in...

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire for Nintendo 64: The force is whith this game

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 00:21:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - A tribute to the Star Wars name, SOTE is a kickin game. You will control Dash Rendar thru many levels from flying snowspeeders to navigating the sewers under Prince Xixors Palace. With good control and variable views it is easy to control. The enemies...

Monroe Hell?

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 02:22:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Twenty-three flights of stairs is just way too many to walk down and up at 4AM. I got pretty good at this after the numerous early morning fire alarm pulls in Monroe Hall. One of those problems of living on the 10th (of 12) floor. Not that that was the...

Extracurriculars Overall: What shall we do now?

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 01:53:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - You never have to worry about finding a club to join or an activity to participate in. From Martial arts to sailing to fencing to intramural sports to skydiving there is a club for every interest. And if you have and interest that there is no club for,...

Where do they come up with these people?

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 01:13:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Its amazing how rude some people can be. A majority of the staff of the food service company (Marriot-Sodexho) are rude. There is nothing like a large, gold toothed, tattooed lady getting mad at your for simply trying to pay for your food. Now I have to...

Money doesn't grow on trees

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 00:57:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - One of the most important factors in which college you choose is the financial aid package you receive from them. Tulane gives great financial aid to those who need it. I come from a middle income family (well the lower end of middle income) the amount...

A great card

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 00:34:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - The Discover Card is a great card for anybody, especially college students.

For starters it has no annual fee like many American Express cards. You also get cashback on all your purchases. Granted this does not amount to much unless you're a really...

Space Station: Silicon Valley for Nintendo 64: Out of this world

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 23:34:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - There is no other game that is anything like Space Station Silicon Valley. This game it truly unique, and a bit messed up. You start the game as a microchip with legs coming from a broke robot body. Your recently crashed spaceship has left you with no...

South Park for Nintendo 64: This game should be parked

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 23:24:12 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Southpark wears old very quickly. Based off of the same engine as Turok Seeds of Evil, South Park doesn't even come close to doing the engine justice. The graphics are amazingly plain and boring. The textures are gaudy and annoying. The control is pretty...

Rampage: World Tour for Nintendo 64: Rampage: World Flop

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 23:12:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Rampage World Tour is a game that should never have been made. Its slow, it has bad graphics and its boring. The whole point of the game is to go around and destroy buildings and eat people. At first this may sound like fun but it gets old after about 2...

Mortal Kombat 4 for Nintendo 64: Flying guts... and glory

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 03:56:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Mortal Combat is certainly the bloodiest of the fighting games. It is also one of the most fun and most challenging.

This latest release of Mortal Combat is great. The graphics are stunning. It is all rendered in 3D, even the fighters. You...

A beautifull computer

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 00:11:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Yet another stunning computer by Apple. The Powerbook G3 gives you the speed, screen size, and functionality of a desktop with the size and transportability of a laptop.

With a 400 MHz G3 processor you have all the speed you could ask for and...

Macally iBall Trackball: A great all around trackball

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 23:42:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - The iBall is one of the few USB trackballs available for the Macintosh. It doesn't come with any drivers since all the software it needs is already installed with the Mac OS system software.

The iBall has a sleek design and is see through so...

Mission Impossible for Nintendo 64: Well, maybe not impossible

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 23:22:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Since Mission Impossible is the only spy game out for the N64 it really has no competition.

Most of the missions in Mission Impossible you have to not fight and not get caught. These levels are drastically different from your normal shooter...

Expand you mind

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 20:16:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - There are not many games that use the expansion pak. But for those that do, it is definitely nice to have. No only does the expansion pak make the graphics better, but also it noticeably speeds up the game play and keeps it from getting bogged down when...

Mario Party for Nintendo 64: Its a party and you're invited

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 19:45:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Mario Party is great, as long as you have four people. It's pretty boring to play by your self. Even unlocking all the mini games is a little more fun with other people to help.

The core of Mario Party is the 8 board games (2 of them hidden)...

Mario Kart for Nintendo 64: It gets first place.

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 19:26:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Mario Kart is simply a great game. With its many levels all with beautiful graphics, you might never tire of this game.

There may only be 8 characters to choose from, but that doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the game at all. There are...

The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time for Nintendo 64: Zelda rides again

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 19:09:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Zelda is most likely the most hyped game that has ever come out for N64. For a good reason, it is a great game.

The graphics are incredible in Zelda, each of the huge levels and dungeons are rendered beautifully. The soundtrack is stunning as...

Killer Instinct Gold for Nintendo 64: Gold? why gold?

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 18:54:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author azreal - Killer Instinct is one of the better fighting games for N64. It has great graphics and clean game-play and control.
