Voodoo 3: A mixed bag but worth it

Tue, 9 May 2000 10:17:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - Just after the release of the Voodoo 2, I picked up a card manufactured by Creative Labs (Graphics Blaster Voodoo 2) and I had to say, at the time... it was a good solid card which impressed me enough to want to pick up the next step in 3d acceleration...

Abit BH6: ABIT: The Only Choice

Mon, 8 May 2000 07:31:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - I consider myself to be somewhat of an expert on hardware: I spent 4 years of my life in various hardware capacities, from technical support all the way to test engineering to pre-production engineering. Abit was recommended to me by one of the other...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - UPDATE (05/09/00): I WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend that new users of this game go out to the nearest computer store or bookstore and BUY Primagames Official Strategy guide for EverQuest. It has helped me understand the game on a whole new level, and made it...

Sony VAIO PCG-290: If only I had epinions back then...

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 08:42:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - ... I probably would've made an more intelligent purchase. As it stands, I'm rather disappointed with this laptop in general. As with all new computer purchases, it works great for roughly three months, but then I began experiencing problems with the...

Dollhouse on steroids!

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 08:25:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - Did you ever play with dolls (action-figures) as a kid and wish they would play back? The Sims captures that sensation wholly and packs into this virtual street of dollhouses which will addict you quicker than you can breathe.

When I picked...

Teamwork is the Key to Victory!

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 08:15:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - Before Unreal Tournament, following the Doom/Wolf3d legacy, Dynamix/Sierra published a game recommended to me by a friend whose opinions on FPS games I trust wholeheartedly. Starsiege Tribes is the BEST first-person shooter on the market right now...

Emergency Maintenance is our Mantra!

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 07:47:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - Having ordered Northpoint DSL service through a promotion run by ConcentricDSL in November of 1998, I've had this service for roughly a year and a half.

A couple of points to consider before reading my opinion on Northpoint:

1) I...

Home of the Godly Beef!

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 07:31:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - While this restaurant is listed under Japanese, it should be known that this isn't typical Japanese cuisine. In fact, it is very Americanized. However, don't let that dissuade you from sampling this restaurant's version of what could be the considered...

(DVD) Bogie's finest role!

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 06:45:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - The movie preyed on the fame of Humphrey Bogart, and it should be noted that this film was 'based' upon the book. The movie and the book part company near the end of the film, and certain characters are omitted (obviously due to the production...

(VHS) Rerelease rekindles

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 06:20:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - Kid Rhino's re-release of this 80s-era animation classic reminded me of how much I loved this series of Sunbow-produced stories as a kid. I saw it at a local Tower Records and just had to own it (the price wasn't bad at $10).

I had forgotten...

(VHS) Miyazaki's mascot

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 06:11:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - Being a fan of Miyazaki Hayao and Studio Ghibli, Tonari no Totoro is a film which considered to me to be a classic work of art by a highly recognized artist in this genre.

Tonari no Totoro wasn't meant to be deep and meaningful, rather than...

Archived Movie Reviews: (DVD) The best of the SM movies!

Wed, 26 Apr 2000 05:40:33 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - It's difficult for some to actually admit to liking Sailor Moon and be a member of the male gender, but the connotation of 'girly' anime is rather lost on me. I tend to view anime as an artform, rather than simple entertainment. With that spoken, I'd...

Finally an affordable sporty model!

Sat, 22 Apr 2000 10:20:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author otaking - I'll admit it. I've been driving a '95 Toyota Tercel for five years when I finally decided to trade it in and get a newer model Tercel. Imagine my surprise when they no longer continued that model. I had just gotten a better-paying job and since I...
