rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - The History:

December of 2000, TX DOT was working on a lane. They had forgotten to add a barricade all the way to the intersection and at night, with no lights, it was nearly impossible to know that there was a few feet drop off to this lane...

Mon, 3 Sep 2001 04:12:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - My former employer hired a new creative director to come in and organize things. His first day there he asked everyone in my group if we "used WYSIWYG editors at all such as that Dreamweaver piece of [expletive deleted]". I told him that I used...

mySimon: MySimon Says...

Sun, 2 Sep 2001 06:34:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - Geez, sorry...another bad review title.

MySimon is one web site I almost always check first whenever I'm pricing electronics or software. There are many features about mysimon that make it useful. For starters, it's fast. It also has just...

Icewind Dale for Windows: To Infinity and Beyond.

Fri, 31 Aug 2001 03:38:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - Ok sorry for the cheesy review title.

Icewind Dale, while not new, is still just as fun to play as any other RPG out there now. It's built on the tried and true Infinity game engine created by Black Isle. After playing Baldurs Gate and...

No wonder Gateway throws this in for free.

Wed, 22 Aug 2001 19:42:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - I was unhappy with my HP inkjet printer and was anxious to get a new pc with a new printer. Neither the gateway pc, or the printer really are much to talk about.

What's to hate about it?

Black and White for Windows, Mac: And on the 7th day, Peter Molyneux rested.

Fri, 4 May 2001 13:00:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - For the past year, those who read any of the game web sites out there has, at some point or another, seen something about Black and White. Black and White was hyped up to be the equivalent of the Second Coming for the gaming industry, but I really didn't...

Mon, 19 Mar 2001 16:10:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - By now everyone has heard of Firewalls, and if you are reading this you probably are considering installing a firewall on your system.

As stated in previous reviews of Zone Alarm, you can download a free version of Zone Labs' Zone Alarm for...

T-Mobile Phone Service in Dallas/Fort Worth: Voicestream or Data Stream?

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 18:37:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - In the short time that I have switched over to VoiceStream, I have to say that I am pleased with my service (so far).

Voicestream, which uses GSM (Global Service for Mobile Phones), has a slew of features which use this technology to its...

Can you beat this?

Mon, 12 Mar 2001 13:31:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - Instead of carrying my Sprint cell phone with me and my Prism, I opted to go ahead and buy the VisorPhone. This way, I don't have to keep up with both, just one. You do add a bit of weight to your Prism by adding this springboard module, but its worth it...

Samsung SCH 3500 CDMA / AMPS Cellular Phone: Better than older models, but not much.

Wed, 28 Feb 2001 19:00:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - I got this phone from Sprint for free after I broke my other (older) samsung phone. The Samsung 3500 offers everything you want including dual mode for analog or digital, a voice dial that is hit and miss, and vibrate for incoming calls and voice mail...

Ooohh Ahhhhh and Productivity too..

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - After examining the Handspring Prism at CompUSA, and reading up online about what it has to offer, I feel I have made a pretty good buy with the latest offering from Handspring.

Golden Bowels.

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 14:22:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - If you like bulk food you may want to visit Golden Corral. Theres quite a few choices once you wheel your big old caboose up to the serving troughs. What I have noticed is that a lot of obese people seem to think that you can only make one trip so they...

The Worst Day...

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 14:06:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - Arnold Schwarzenegger has done it again. Made yet another less than stellar movie. I was actually interested in seeing this movie, thinking that it might be a little bit like Total Recall. Not the case at all. It was bad, very bad.

This is the...

An alternative to the others...

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 17:11:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - I actually playtested this game a bit while working for Gathering of Developers. This RPG is a lot like Diablo. You talk to certain characters who ask you to complete a quest and they reward you with money or items. One aspect that I think sets Dark...

Half-Life For Windows, Mac: Got a fast connection? Ahhhh Yea!

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 16:17:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - Counter Strike is one of the few stand out games that I have played in awhile. It's almost a combination of the incredible graphics of the FPS Game of the Year Half-Life and Rainbow Six, but more of the planning and strategy of R6.

Gateway Select 1000: Not a good PC for gaming.

Tue, 26 Dec 2000 14:36:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - The History..

Well so far in the three weeks that I have owned my Gateway Select 1000, I have had nothing but problems. For starters, Gateway loads your pc up with more s*it than you will ever use. How is this bad? All of these programs...

Show me your nuts...

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 18:54:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - It has been over ten years since I first saw this movie, and I still love it. In fact, I recently bought the DVD, so that whenever I'm in the mood for some off the wall, wacky, zany, silliness, I just throw the dvd in.

This late 70's movie is...

Colecovision: I spent the night just so I could play their Coleco.

Fri, 10 Nov 2000 16:24:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - Growing up in the 70's, we didn't have all the fancy shmancy Voodoo this or 1 giga-that. We had these cruddy little console systems that were almost all impossible to play. The controllers for ninety percent of the consoles that came out between '75 -...

Yahoo! Fantasy Hockey: I did better when I didn't know what I was doing

Fri, 10 Nov 2000 01:06:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - I was a little surprised to find out that after the first two or three weeks of the hockey season I was ranked #1 out of the 12 teams in my league. I have since dropped in rank as I've learned a little bit more on how it works. This is due mostly to...

Adobe Photoshop 6: Is 6.0 that much different?

Thu, 9 Nov 2000 19:54:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - As a matter of fact it is. Adobe Photoshop 6.0 has a slew of new features that were either improved on from earlier versions or stolen from other graphic software packages (ahem Fireworks).

The text tool is a lot different in this newest...

How can I leave this behind?

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 19:25:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - If you haven't had a chance to watch This is Spinal Tap, you need to see it. I recently purchased the DVD of This is Spinal Tap which includes commentary by the band, which is just as hilarious as the movie at times. It had been quite a while since I had...

Decent. Pretty good on up time.

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 18:48:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - National Discount Brokers is a decent and dependable for online trading. The trades will cost you $14.95 for market and $19.95 for limit orders. The interface is extremely easy and trades are quite easy to set up. Emails are sent out the second the...

Loopmasta!

Thu, 2 Nov 2000 15:39:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - Sound Forge is the easiest sound editing software that I have ever used. It's powerful enough to use for just about any of your multimedia needs. I use it to create music loops for Flash animations. You can export in a number of formats and sample rates...

Move on up to the East Side.

Tue, 22 Aug 2000 12:33:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - There are many reasons why I bought the 2000 SAAB 9-5 SE. The looks of the 9-5 are far superior to the 9-3. There is just something I am not crazy about in the design of the 9-3. So I settled on the 9-5.

The 9-5 seems to have achieved a good...

Magnavox Odyssey2: Watch out Pong!

Tue, 22 Aug 2000 11:24:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - The first gaming system I owned was a Christmas present from my parents. The Magnavox Odyssey2 was at one time, (1978) one of the better systems out there, IMHO. Their version of Pacman (KC MUNCHKIN) had a piece of hardware you could add to allow for...
