Profinity.com: They don't even pay REAL money!

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 22:30:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - This is a paybar type scheme, but there's no money! You get points for using their surfbar, then you redeem the points for gift certificates.

However the possible gift certificates choices are limited; they only have 4 companies and 2 are airlines...

"Ready for action!"

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 22:29:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - Those accents are hilarious. Who ever heard of a hillbilly worm? They should have put some birds in this one, the worm's natural enemy. The game itself is practically the same as Worms 2, with more advanced internet play support and a new interface set...

Paybar: Its Paythetic!

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 22:21:27 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - This is just a pathetic paybar scheme. Their payout is low and their bar is kinda ugly too. Their slogan is "your paycheck... something something" ok I cant remember, but at $9 a month it is certainly no "paycheck" and tat's assuming...

Etour: Take a DETour around Etour

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 22:11:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - Etour brings the sites to you based on your interests and they also pay you in gift certificates. But I have yet to find any useful site that I have bookmarked, and the sites that I do like I've already been to. If you want to visit interesting sites...

FreeLotto: SCAM ALERT: You can't win! (and they spam you too!)

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 22:03:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - Ok the internet has brought a revolution of free stuff like free email, free internet access, free money (ex: Epinions pays you), and finally FREE LOTTO. The concept is excellent: trick a bunch of web people (who don't like going outside) into playing...

Microsoft Outlook Express: Another "Fine" Microsoft Product

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 21:38:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - Outlook express is great for Hotmailers, you can check a numbers of your free Hotmail accounts at once. Problem is its slow if you hav e a56k modem like me. But you can set it to synchronize the headers only instead of downloading whole messages.

Sad, Mr. Gates has $100 billion and his browser still crashes

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 00:55:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - IE 5.0 is free, and it has great advantages over netscape, but it still crashes. In fact it crashed on me 10 minutes ago, but i moved that stupid "This program has performed an illegal operation and...." message off to the side. When you hit...

A Must have for GAMERZ

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 00:44:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - If you aren't playing Quake 2/3 with this mouse and 32 mb GL Card, YOU AIN'T PLAYIN. This mouse is perfect for the gamer. I have the USB version. I bind the shoot, duck, and jump keys to the three main buttons, and the wheelup/wheeldown to switch between...

Macromedia Flash 4: Annoying yet good.

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 00:43:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - Shockwave's Macromedia's been around a while, but not that many site have used it; recently it has annoyed me, as almost everytime I visit Dilbert.com it asks me to install Shockwave player, I tell it "No and click on never download these...

Real Networks RealJukebox: -- a REAL JunkBox! --

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 00:32:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - My friend calls Jack in the Box, Junk in the Box, because their food tastes bad. I call Real Jukebox a REAL JUNKBOX because it sucks. I had the demo version which came with my portable mp3 player Rio and I was unimpressed by the software. What ticked...

Still crashes! Just like IE

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 00:17:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - I thought by now browsers shouldn't crash, unfortunately both IE and Netscape still do. For me, both crashes are pretty fatal, because it ends with all the browser windows closing and me having to reboot and unsaved data lost... Still their "Related...

S3 Savage3D: You can't buy it anywhere, and there's a reason!

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 00:14:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - This S3 Savage 3D Card is only sold to OEMs. Mine is a 8 mb AGP one, and it performs decently for Quake 2 and Kingpin, but it is simply AWFUL for Quake 3. It must be the drivers =(. I tried overclocking this card after sticking a heatsink on the...

Too slow, and too late

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 23:40:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - Sure it's portable storage that is larger than a floppy disk. But CD rewriteables are so much cheaper and contain 650 mb, 6.5 times that little zip disk. My zip drive makes it easy to transfer a few files between friends here and there, but for the...

3 Years, and it still works! (BARELY)

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 23:21:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - Overall I am pleased with the performance of this HP Deskjet 682 C printer, which I got about 3 years ago. However, a year ago it broke partially, I have to manually feed in sheets of paper one at a time because the auto feed mechanism is somehow...

A whole lot faster, but still not worth it!

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 23:11:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - This newer Rio 500 makes an important improvement from the Rio 300 by adding more smartmedia ram, and using a much faster USB connection. It also comes in 3 new colors which are pretty stylish, grey, treal/blue, but not the purple (bleh!). Its expandle...

AOL Instant Messenger: It gets better and worse at the same time.

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 22:56:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - Isn't lame how it asks you if you really want to sign off? "No, i just accidently aimed my mouse cursor over the little X in the corner then click a few times!" Still, it is widely used which makes it popular. It also annoys me how the newer...

Athlon slays the puny PIII

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 22:47:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - Finally, the term "Intel Inside" is derogatory. The Athlon puts that lame little P3 chip into considering it is overpriced and contains and identifiable security code, as well as being unoverclockable. The real advantage to AMD's Athlon is the...

AMD's got respect NOW

Giftcertificates.com: Skip this and give them cash.

Fri, 7 Jan 2000 22:08:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - Ok, so you don't know what to get someone, and giving them cash would be too tacky. Giftcertificates.com does a good job of assembling many online e-stores so u can buy gift certificates easily. This is a pretty good idea and all, by making it easy on...

Mech Warrior 3: AWESOME GRAPHICS!

Sun, 26 Dec 1999 08:23:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - A huge improvement in graphics to Mechwarrior 2, this sequel is otherwise the same. Complete missions by going to NAV points and destroying all enemy mechs. You can take scrap parts from the battle field kinda like Mercenaries, but there is no cash...

Command: Westwood TOOk that long to make THIS!?

Sun, 26 Dec 1999 08:19:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - Highly anticipated sequel to Tiberian Dawn, Tiberian Sun brings back Kane from the ion charged ashes. Out of the box it only allows a resolution of 800x600 but you can download a resolution changer somewhere at PlanetCNC.com that allows up to 1200x1600...

Slaughter people WITHOUT hurting anyone

Sun, 26 Dec 1999 08:12:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - This game was almost banned by Congress, and I’m not surprised. It’s full of cussing, swearing and killing. But graphically speaking its excellent and my favorite game of the millennium! (unless Duke Nukem4ever comes out soon) This game demands serious...

QUAD DAMAGE!

Sun, 26 Dec 1999 08:08:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - Two years in the making, it has been highly anticipated and finally released December 1999, two years after Quake 2. I got it as soon as it came out. It has a completely new 3D engine and far better graphics. It does lack some things though, mainly...

Free after rebate!

Sun, 26 Dec 1999 08:07:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - This game is comical and based on the mostly hilarious and sometimes disgusting (Mr Hanky) Southpark. You can play as Kyle, Kenny, Stan, or Cartman. The characters get pretty much the same weapons but they say different things (Kenny mumbles.) Gameplay...

Silent Hunter II: THe first one was not very fun

Sun, 26 Dec 1999 01:01:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author c0mmander - I hope this one is much better, since the first one was not fun. I found the controls difficult, and it is very hard to repair your sub. Basically its too easy to die. It was more fun on the old 8-bit Nintendo when you could use a game genie and since...
