GTA IV: One step forward two steps back.

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 10:37:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author graey - With all the hype surrounding this game, I kept warning myself not to get too excited and boy was I right. :GRAPHICS: If you just go by the numbers (ie number of moving polygons ect) the graphics are great. However there...

XDrive: last on the list of storage sites

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 17:44:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graey - X drive's not bad, but wouldn't be my first choice for remote storage. Offering just 25 megs of free storage, compared to their competitors' 50, and just as full of banners as Freedrive, X drive holds on to usefulness only by the skin of its teeth. Their...

Note Tab Software NoteTab: simple, complete, excellent

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 16:46:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graey - I spent some time looking at HTML editors, not really serious about getting one, because I'd pretty much decided to stick with notepad. I saw a reference to this program somewhere on the web, and decided I was bored enough to try it out.

My notepad...

Microsoft Windows 98: bang head on keyboard to continue, unplug system to quit

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 02:07:37 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author graey - Windows 98 is a sick, sad, sorry excuse for a program. It's unstable, eats more system resources than even Win95 managed to hog (quite a feat, good job Microsoft, idiots)

They really didn't add anything that Win95 couldn't already do (with freeware...

Not bad, for what it is...

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 21:28:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author graey - I tried this game out on my nephews' system not long ago, putting it in only because it bore the name Square, which used to mean something. I played it for several hours, determined to give it a chance, despite the glaring weakness of the polygon...

Opera: #1 since day 1 no-one else can match it

Mon, 15 May 2000 23:40:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graey - Opera, to me, is like a gem laying amid a pile of refuse. While IE fills up phantom directory after phantom directory with multiple copies of the same stupid cookies, it glares at any other program(s) you dare to run and does its very best to spill some...

the weakest Civ

Sat, 13 May 2000 09:35:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author graey - i tried and tried to get into civ CTP, but just couldn't. before playing it, i didn't know what to expect in the way of changes from Civ2, i hoped it would be just a more complex version of Civ2, with somewhat improved graphics and fewer bugs. i feared...

usefull device... up to a point

Tue, 9 May 2000 04:37:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graey - i bought an iomega zip drive for various reasons; i wanted more space to store images, mp3s and other things of that nature & i wanted to be able to swap mass amounts of data quickly back and forth between my system and my best friend's system in the...

idrive.com: nice free service, could use a bit of work

Sun, 30 Apr 2000 07:00:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graey - idrive.com offers 50 free megs of remote storage, useful for easy file access if you romp from computer to computer and don't always have zip disk or other high capacity mobile storage. obviously you can also upload things there (mp3s for example) that...

IrfanView: finest graphics program in existence

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 06:09:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graey - i can't say enough good things about irfanview, i don't think anyone can. you can take you pick of other image viewers, open any image you like in one of them, then open the same thing in irfanview, and chances are it'll look better. it opens nearly...

Tweak UI: ...uh, some things we forgot...

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 05:22:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graey - that's what tweak ui seems like to me. a few things they forgot to put into the standard win95 package. some of the functions are things that i'd already found out how to tweak on my own, but not all. in particular i like the ability to quickly clean up...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: the way a cursor was meant to be moved

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 02:09:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graey - don't have too much to say about the marble mouse, except that i went through several standard mice in a couple years of computing, always with the same problem, massive buildup of what i'm sure we all recognize, and what i can only classify as Goo. yes...

Ancient Domains Of Mystery for Windows: very refined rougelike

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 01:04:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graey - adom is, so far as i know, the pinnacle of rougelikes for depth of game play and char advancement/fine tuning. with a wide choice of races and backgrounds to choose from, and a nice list of skills to work on as you advance, adom keeps you interested for...

disjointed, intense, excellent

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 22:53:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graey - It's not often that a movie has the power to suck you in and alter your perceptions from the very fist scene, Fear and Loathing accomplishes this with quick, twisted dialog. Just about every line, every little utterance, is worthy of some deeper thought,...

Microsoft Windows 95: ...is not an operating system

Wed, 9 Feb 2000 11:52:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author graey - it's a big fat graphical nightmare. Windows 95 is only useful because the masses made it the standard for programs to be written for. Everyone bought into Windows and so it's Windows we're stuck with.

Everything the system tries to do, it has to ask...

no words can do it justice

Wed, 9 Feb 2000 11:12:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graey - Everyone knows that there are lots of sites on the internet with *.wav files culled from movies, everyone's favorite lines. I want an mp3 of this entire movie, every single line, I don't care if I have to buy a new hard drive to hold it and 512 megs more...

Netscape Composer: for me, it's this or Notepad

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 06:54:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graey - If you want to make a webpage and you don't feel like sitting and reading tons of conflicting information about how to actually write html (which is a Very poor language btw) then Composer is the way to go. It uses an interface which reminds me of a mix...

ICQ: ICQ=Infinite Chat Quotient

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 06:35:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graey - Okay first off, everyone and their brother has ICQ, so finding someone to talk to is not going to be a problem. That can be a big plus, also the program itself is done pretty well. It's huge, and eats a ton of memory (over 10 MB on my system) which is...

King's lifetime epic

Sat, 29 Jan 2000 12:40:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author graey - Beginning with only a man walking in the desert, King weaves as tale as delicate as spun glass, and solid as stone at the same time. King seems to be leading his sacrificial son, Roland by a thread, as I'm quite sure he himself feels he's being led by...

Fallout 2 for Mac: very realistic rpg

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 08:37:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graey - Everything in Fallout 2 works pretty much as you'd expect in real life, and while many rpgs throughout the history of pc gaming have tried to do this, Fallout 2 excels in this area. People get quite angry (or happy) with you, as they mark your actions in...

lots of fun, sweet movie

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 17:45:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author graey - I think that critics of this film, that is those who say it reeks, have missed the point. This is not a serious horror/action movie. Yeah, there's blood, there's gutty-whuts all over the place as a matter of fact, but none of that was the point.

rage and frustration at their finest

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 17:27:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graey - I listened to this while messing around on the computer, because my room-mate had put it in. I didn't pay attention to it really, since it wasn't loud. That is I didn't pay any attention to it until I realized I was getting very very angry just playing...

good movie, no cheating

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 17:09:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graey - The film was done very well, the effects, obviously, were excellent. However, effects by themselves mean nothing, what impressed me about that side of The Matrix was that they didn't cheat and ham up or overdo the effects, they used them like effects...

Solid Album

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 16:15:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author graey - This was the first Megadeth i heard, and i loved it. From start to finish it's a solid work of art, worthy of a listen by anyone who considers him/herself a speedmetal or heavy metal listener. A lot of people may know the album thanks only to Sweating...
