Microsoft Sidewinder Wheel: Don't even think about racing without one of these.

Wed, 31 Jan 2001 23:12:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - One of the things that used to bug me the most was having to use the keyboard for playing racing games. Those days are no more with the Sidewinder Wheel.

Can it hold it's own?

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - I'm the proud (I think) owner of a computer with an Intel Celeron processor inside. While the celeron is Intel's cheapest chip, it performs quite well. Games on a celeron are okay, but you need a awesome graphics card to relieve the processor a bit.

Nutscrape Navigator

Sat, 27 May 2000 13:39:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - Netscape Navigator is one of the worst Internet browsers in history. It is prone to frequent crashes.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - When I go out to eat at a fast food restaurant, one of the places that I look for is a Wendy's. They have one of the cheapest menus in the area. Not only that, but the cheap food is actually good! These guys really beat McDonald's, yet McDonald's seems...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - I was recently over at a friends house and got to check out this game. I loved it from the start. It is so much fun and there are so many options that you could sit there for hours just customizing your race! I played with my friend's Microsoft Force...

Chug's down ink like there's no tomorrow

Sat, 6 May 2000 16:24:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - While I love the Canon BJC-2000 that I picked up for around $50 about 6 months ago (it had a mail in rebate), there are a few problems with it.

The first (and the most important one) is that this puppy seems to suck up a lot of ink. Before...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - When I bought these speakers for $39.95 at buy.com, I was expecting to get a mediocre pair of speakers.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - First of all, I'd like to say that I feel truly sorry for those of you who are using some plain-old free web-based email provider like Yahoo or Hotmail. While those services may not be bad for the price, they certainly can't help you when you don't have...

GoToWorld.com: How fast can a company go down the hole?

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 14:54:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - At first, GotoWorld sounded like a good, solid program. Their viewbar/browser sounded great, too. Once people actually began downloading the GotoWorld browser, it was found that it was a slow, unreliable piece of trash. The features sounded good on...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - I like to watch Who Wants to be a Millionaire on ABC. When I got the game I thought it would be a mediocre purchase. I was wrong.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - The emachines eSlate isn't quite as great of a deal as the other emachines, such as the eOne. But with plenty of little extras, this might be one laptop you should look into.

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 02:47:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - When I first joined Spedia I thought it might be an okay program. Boy was I wrong! Come to find out, they say they pay you about $.50 an hour or so but the thing is, there hours must be calculated on different clocks than mine.

So many features...so little of a price

Tue, 18 Jan 2000 00:13:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - For an average home-user, the eone is a great system. There's just one tiny little problem that keeps the eone from being a great system. Luckily, it's cheap to fix that problem.

The problem seems to be that the eone comes with only 64MB of...

Tue, 28 Dec 1999 16:27:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - I've watched footage of how this game plays and all I can say is it just looks totally awesome.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dcsonic99 - Virtua Fighter 3tb is an excellent game. The graphics are great and it could easily be held up to a standard of Soul Calibur likeness.
