Remote possibilities

Fri, 16 Jun 2000 16:58:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - Any audio/videophile worth his or her salt knows the pain of the "Multi-Remote Dilemma" ... trying to keep track of a dozen or so remote controls that all perform one function that's not available on the others. Master remotes are nothing new,...

ATI Rage Fury Pro: Solid!

Wed, 7 Jun 2000 14:21:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - Other cards may outperform the Rage Pro in one area of expertise (say, the TNT2 with 3D gaming), but it's hard to find another video card that offers so much solid performance for so many different tasks.

First of all, if you're considering an...

A Whole New World (Well, Continent)

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 23:02:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - Last Spring, Verant upped the ante in the Massively Multiplayer Roleplaying Game (MMRPG) market with the release of Everquest. The graphics were great, the world was massive and the gameplay was almost beyond addictive. After months of playing, and...

Fast connection, slow company

Fri, 2 Jun 2000 16:14:37 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - UPDATE (09/18):

Since my initial review of Pac Bell's DSL offering, the quality of service has dramatically changed, so I thought I would update my previous review to hopefully save more people a few headaches.

I have used...

Extra features you will actually use!

Fri, 2 Jun 2000 15:54:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - With so many cellular and PCS phones out there these days offering the latest and greatest bells and whistles, it's nice to find one that includes extra features that actually make your life easier and extend the use of your phone. I use the Timeport...

Anime at its finest!

Fri, 12 May 2000 17:59:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - You know those friends who don't really "get" your enthusiasm for anime, and whose only exposure to it is the likes of Pokemon and Sailor Moon? Sit them down in front of this slick visual feast!

Cowboy Bebop starts out with a bang,...

Metal Gear Rocks Game Boy

Wed, 10 May 2000 16:47:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - Pokemon aside, Nintendo's Game Boy system really isn't known for being a hotbed of great game development. Many developers simply take their existing titles from other platforms and slap them onto a Game Boy cartridge, and you're left with a portable...

New riff on an old idea

Tue, 9 May 2000 18:19:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - OK, by now you're probably tired of hearing all the Diablo references. But there's no escaping the fact that this game is almost completely derivative. It's not so much that this title is a direct derivative of any one game, but every sight, sound and...

Cingular Mobile Phone Service in San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland: A Customer Service Nightmare!

Mon, 8 May 2000 19:31:24 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - PacBell PCS service itself is not all that bad. The coverage is fairly extensive, though a lot of calls are of very poor quality. ("Are you underwater?" was a frequent comment from friends.)

I supposed that their PCS service would...

EverQuest for Windows: More Like NeverRest...

Mon, 8 May 2000 19:11:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - Where to start? This game has been directly responsible for a lack of sleep on my part since I first started playing last November. Also known as EverCrack, NeverRest or a dozen other names, there's no denying that this is one addictive game.

In a word, fun!

Mon, 8 May 2000 18:41:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - While certainly not for everyone, the Jeep Wrangler can be a real blast for the right type of person. What most impressed me about my recently-purchased 2000 Wrangler was the modular design. Want to have fun? Remove the top. Heck, even remove the...

Sprint Mobile Phone Service in San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland: Don't knock it, I've tried it...

Mon, 8 May 2000 16:35:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - I can't say much about the reports of terrible service in Silicon Valley, but I live/work/etc. primarily in the SF/East Bay/Peninsula area and receive excellent service.

My first cell phone was through Pac Bell PCS. What a horror story!...

Handspring Visor Deluxe Handheld: From Gee Whiz to Mixed Bag

Mon, 8 May 2000 15:44:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author baphomet - Having pre-ordered my Visor Deluxe before the launch, I've had it for several months now. While I still enjoy and use it on a daily basis, once the "gee whiz" factor wore off I realized that there are several shortcomings to this device...
