Mon, 1 Sep 2008 01:46:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - When I decided to trade in my gas-guzzling, completely impractical, hard to park, and just over the top-powered Ford F-150, I knew that I needed something that was roomy, got reasonably good gas mileage, and looked good. I've always liked the look of...

Too Bad The Love Affair Had To End

Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:53:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - I've always had a dream, one that most people take for granted. You see, for whatever reason, I've always managed to own automobiles that had manual transmissions. Since I was 16 (and while I'm not an AARP member, yet), I've just never had the...

I Had No Idea I Lived In Such Filth!

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:44:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - If you ever came to my house, the first thing you would notice is my dogs. Not that they are large or anything, but that I have four of them. Granted, they are small (two Italian Greyhounds and two Doxies), but still, I continually have a total of 16...

A great concept, but I just had to pass on this one...

Tue, 6 Nov 2001 21:15:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - A few months ago, my life partner and I decided that we were going to have a baby, and that the truck I had at the time (a Chevy S10 extended cab) was too small for our newest edition. Sure, we had yet to even visit the sperm bank, but I was getting a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - A few years ago, after borrowing my dad’s truck to go to the dump or haul even the smallest of cargo from Home Depot, I had finally reached the boiling point, and decided it was time for a truck. So, after a few weeks of looking and researching, I bought...

Haven't I heard this before? Oh yeah... FOUR TIMES!

Tue, 18 Sep 2001 19:52:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - Before I get to the actual review of this CD, let me first make it clear that I love Alice in Chains (AIC) and have every song, CD, and video that they have released. Plus the fact that they hail from Seattle (which I live just south of), makes my...

Nyko UFO Light: Quite possibly, the worst lighting system on the market

Mon, 17 Sep 2001 14:19:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - I’m really not sure why I even bother trying out new lighting systems for my Game Boy Advance (GBA). None of them really work “perfectly”, as they all have their drawbacks, be it providing poor lighting, cheap manufacturing, or excessive battery use...

I don't care for kart games, but I can't stop playing this one!!

Fri, 31 Aug 2001 01:58:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - When Mario Kart first came out on the SNES in the early 90’s, who would have thought that it would spawn so many copy cat kart games? Heck, who would have thought it would even take off, period? Think about it, a bunch of goofy characters, chasing each...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - By 1992, Nirvana was at the top of the charts with “Nevermind”, which went on to see over 10 million copies. Of course, their record, Geffen, scrambled to find more material, as they wanted to give the public what they wanted, which was even more...

Mon, 27 Aug 2001 00:26:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - When my family first brought up the issue of taking a cruise to Alaska, it was last fall, and even then, the plan was to take it “in a few years” as a family. Well, in February of 2001, my father was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, so we knew that...

A traveler's best friend!

Mon, 27 Aug 2001 00:17:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - A few weeks ago, before I took a cruise to the Inside Passage of Alaska, I knew I needed some sort of a small bag to carry things such as traveler’s checks, boarding passes, and a copy of my birth certificate. I’m not the type of purse to pack around a...

A great game! So why did I wait two months before actually playing it?

Mon, 27 Aug 2001 00:13:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - I bought Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (CoTM) the week that the Game Boy Advance came out way back in June, as I really enjoy side scrolling games, and had read that this was a “must buy” game. So, I when I got home, I ripped the package open,...

Nyko Shock 'n Rock (GBA): Want to waste $24.99? Buy a Nyco Shock 'N Rock!

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 01:01:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - I must be on a first name basis with the Toys R Us people, considering all the peripherals that I buy for my gaming systems. Controllers, lighting systems, force feedback add-ons, yeah, they see me coming a mile away. With my newest purchase of a Nyko...

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 00:53:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - I remember my first pair of ADIDAS Superstar sneakers like it was yesterday: it was 1981 and I was in the 8th grade, and everyone had these things. Finally, after weeks of begging, my parents finally broke down and bought me a pair, just to shut...

2 down, 70 more CD's to go

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 00:47:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - The Seattle 11/5/2000 show was the second to the last show of Pearl Jam’s North American tour and opens with a few bars from The Who’s “Baba O’Riley”, just enough to let the crowd know they are in for a big night. The 71st show of the Pearl Jam...

Interact Bumper GBX: Another worthless item for your Game Boy Advance

Mon, 6 Aug 2001 00:38:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - First off, I wasn’t dumb enough to actually buy this product. A friend had this and I used it for a few days, just long enough to nearly go insane with the feeling that I had a spare tire attached to the face of my GameBoy Advance (GBA). The intention...

Wed, 1 Aug 2001 19:36:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - Being a big fan of survival horror games, once Resident Evil 2 was ported to the Dreamcast, I was pretty excited about it and immediately bought it, as I really enjoyed the same title on the Playstation. I had heard that the graphics were amazing...

Wed, 1 Aug 2001 19:19:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - During the spring and summer of 1995, at the height of bands playing “unplugged” (which was made popular by the MTV show of the same name), KISS got this brilliant idea to host their own “KISS Convention”, and play a set, well, unplugged. Okay, I’m sure...

Brinks Home Security System: Want piece of mind? Buy a Doberman...

Mon, 30 Jul 2001 23:24:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - When I was closing the deal on my home in 1996, I knew that I was going to need to get a security alarm, as it did not have one. So, when I saw a representative from Brinks Security at a local Fair, I figured that I would ask a few questions and...

Aretha may be the "Queen of Soul", but Tina is no slouch

Mon, 23 Jul 2001 09:19:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - Years ago, when Tina Turner was getting clobbered by her husband, Ike (who went onto become the most vilified man in the world), who would have thought that she would have sold millions of records, had a movie made about her, done dozens of world tours,...

Performance shoes at an affordable price

Mon, 23 Jul 2001 09:11:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - When I bought my Cannondale Super V700 a few years ago, it came standard with SPD compatible pedals, something that I had never used before (I had always used toe clips on previous bikes). So, I was a bit intimidated, to say the least and knowing that...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - To this day, I remember that fateful day in the Tacoma Mall like it was last week when I saw something that modern technology had yet to create. It was so simple, yet so complex, expensive in price, but cheap in terms of getting entertainment for your...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gerper - “Whoa, at least I’m not the only one who has ever been burned”. That was my first reaction after fully listening to "Skin", the seventh release from Melissa Etheridge. 10 songs, with a total running time of just under 39 minutes, yet the songs...
