Wed, 21 Jul 2004 18:49:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sukim - This review is based on a used 2000 MR2 Spyder with 51k miles, purchased on 5/1/2004. This was my first real car purchase. My last one was a beat up 92 VW Fox that I bought for $700 to get me to and from my internships back in college. I lived...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sukim - Intro:

My cell phone is my life. I live an ambulatory existence in Manhattan and have not had a land line for the past 2 years, so without my cellphone, I would be cut off from the world.

It's springtime in Manhattan, and we've already been blessed with a couple days of 70 degree weather. The sun stays out past 7pm, and the weekends are much more pleasant now that I own a Zappy scooter! Sure, it's not as practical as a mountain bike,...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sukim - My History with Speed Devils 2:

Thu, 7 Dec 2000 03:42:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sukim - Introductory Rant:

Surfing... gaming's final frontier? Board sports seem to be the big thing right now. Tony Hawk is the hottest franchise in gaming (1 million sold in 2 weeks?!) and SSX (a snowboarding game for PS2) is getting a similar...

Ah... Dreamcast finally gets a hot kart racer!

Sun, 3 Dec 2000 19:11:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sukim - Preliminary Rant:

I know that most Dreamcast owners will overlook this game because of its kiddie exterior. Perhaps even more unfortunate, in the age of Pokemon and Dragonball Z, I think that many kids will also overlook it for its somewhat...

Vassar College: Vassar students are spoiled brats

Mon, 2 Oct 2000 02:48:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sukim - Background:

How does one write a concise review about a place he spent the most significant 4 years of their life in? Feels a bit strange writing an "epinion" on Vassar. After all, the only reviews I have written up to this point...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sukim - My history with the Agetec Arcade Stick:

I purchased this item about a month after my initial Dreamcast purchase (9/9/99) so that I could hone my Soul Calibur skills. I loved the arcade version, but kept getting beat down by the local arcade...

Great game, but the players all look like Teen Wolf!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sukim - Graphics:

The visuals in this game are stunning. If it weren't for the ugly face graphics, I would put it in the same league as NBA 2k. The courts look marvelous, from the yellow patches of Wimbeldon to the moist red clay of Roland Garros, this...
