Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell for Game Boy Advance: Two-Dimensional version of the XBox version

Tue, 29 Apr 2003 12:16:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - Well, it finally arrived. Even though today (Tuesday, 29 Apr) was the release date, for some reason, I was able to pick mine up at Gamestop last Sunday. So, I've had a little bit of time to play it.

The graphics and sound for Splinter Cell...

Finally! A GBA I can live with.

Tue, 29 Apr 2003 11:47:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - I could never get around to buying a GBA, though I would borrow my sister's every once and a while. The screen would always get scratched up, and there was no lighting built in; combined, these problems with the original GBA would leave my eyes feel...

Korean War PFC

Wed, 10 Apr 2002 18:15:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - This GI Joe action figure hails from the Millennium Series collection, and it honors the privates that served in the Korean War (particularly 7th Infantry Division). Besides his uniform and equipment, the Joe comes with a certificate of authenticity and...

Terrific WWII Ranger

Wed, 10 Apr 2002 05:31:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - This Joe was originally offered as a collector's club exclusive limited edition package, numbering only 10000. It comes with a beautiful collectors box reminiscent of the original style box GI Joe's came in during the 60s. The sides of the box display...

Sony Wega has beautiful picture

Tue, 2 Apr 2002 01:49:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - I picked up this television at the Sony Outlet store. I was happy to find a television this flat for such a good price ($400). The 24 inch screen was actually a bonus to me; the living room was too small for a larger television, and I didn't relish the...

Canon BJC S600 Inkjet Printer: Still happy with it after 9 months.

Tue, 2 Apr 2002 01:27:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - As I stated in the title, I bought my Canon s600 9 months ago, for about $199 plus tax. (This printer now sells for about $50 less.) Over those nine months, I've been quite happy with this printer and only have minor complaints.

GI Joe with a musket!

Mon, 1 Apr 2002 01:23:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - Unlike what the title implies, this action figure is not just your standard GI Joe with a musket. From the cravat (necktie) to the breeches (pants), this Joe does a good job of representing the heroic "citizen soldiers" that made up the Revolutionary...

11 ALIVE...NEED BOAT...KENNEDY

Mon, 1 Apr 2002 00:54:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - I was fairly pleased when I was able to pick up this GI Joe on sale at FAO Schwarz. It is amazing how much this action figure looks like the young JFK. The purchase was worth it for the likeness alone.

This Joe comes with a few standard...

beauty on wheels

Mon, 12 Mar 2001 18:07:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - Voodoo cycles has an excellent reputation for providing custom quality bikes at reasonable prices, and the Voodoo Bokor is no exception. While many people might not consider $2000 reasonable, one should consider the quality of components and shock, as...

Dell Inspiron 8000 Series: Great attention to detail!

Sun, 4 Feb 2001 15:36:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - My previous laptop had an AMD K62 processor (333MHz), 96MB RAM and a 13" 800x600 screen, so when I upgraded to the Inspiron 8000, I was completely blown away. My configuration has the 850 MHz PIII processor, a 15" SXGA+ screeen (1400x1050 res), and...

Ofoto Online Store: Best place to go with my digital photos

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 14:09:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - At the end of May, I bought a digital camera. It was fun to use, since I could take photos with reckless abandon without worrying about film. (It came with an 8MB card, and I bought an additional 32 MB card, so that's about 90 HQ photos.)...

D-Link DSB-H4 USB Hub: easy to install, but sometimes a little flaky

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 13:26:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - This hub was very easy to install. I just plugged in all of my peripherals, plugged it into my USB port and turned on the power to my computer. All of the peripherals installed from the beginning. It should be noted that this hub allows for 4 ports,...

Don't leave home without it!

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 15:00:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - I've had my Visor for about 10 months, and I've only had to perform a hard reset twice. However, those were very difficult and time-consuming experiences, as anyone who's had a hard reset with its 8MB filled up can attest to.

With that...

Be careful esp laptop users!

Sun, 22 Oct 2000 02:50:37 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - I bought the DMP-100 because, like other people, an MP3 player for under $50 sounded pretty good. However, this MP3 player certainly fits the title "you get what you pay for." I tried for over a week to get this MP3 player to work with my...

Best MP3 deal out there

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 18:09:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - First things first, the Rio 500 sounds great. I love the fact that the thing is so small, and that it never skips, no matter how much I might jostle it on my bike/rollerblades. Navigation on it is alright, although the jog dial doubles as a volume dial...

InnoPak/2V: What the springboard module was designed for

Sat, 7 Oct 2000 02:28:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - When I first bought the Visor, the feature I was most interested in was the expandability via the Springboard module. For me, springboards that satisfied the following were the ones I wanted for my Visor:

1) They had to bring to the Visor a...

Priceline WebHouse Groceries Online Store: Save money and shop while at work

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 17:34:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - There are two reason why I like Priceline.com for grocery shopping:

1) Saves me money. I saved the most when I signed up, since I got lots of half price tokens that I used to buy sirloin, lobsters, and other big ticket items. However, I've...

New found respect for Sam Adams: My trip to the Brewery

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 16:00:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - Long before microbrewing was popular, there was Samuel Adams. Before the "other guys" came up with born on dating, Jim Koch (the founder of the Boston Beer, Co.--which is the former name of the same beer) was herding back any...

Life of the Party

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 12:47:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - I used to hate taking photos.

I would have to go out and buy film (or a disposable camera), then be conservative on when I would take pictures, then have to develop the film, and finally have to pick up the film later on. Plus, if I wanted to...

Avantgo: The reason why you need a handheld

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 12:24:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - Forget about address books, to do lists and calendars. You can get buy with the traditional Franklin planner. However, does the Franklin planner let you read the days news, articles from Salon and Wired, or give to sports scores? Well, you get this...

Good old days: RPN, 3-D plots and Tetris

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 11:24:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - Okay, I'll be honest. I never owned an HP 48G+. However, I did own the HP 48G, the main difference being that my machine only had 32 K RAM. (I say did own because I recently sold it on ebay.)

As an undergrad in biophysics, my HP was...

Give me $50 and I'll try anything! (Updated 10/7/00)

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 10:40:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - So I'm checking my email on the latest version of Eudora; I'm pretty cheap, so I'm using the free, sponsored mode. So, in the corner of my email viewer, I see this add: get $50 for opening a bank account. (The url for the promo is...

Nextel i1000: i1000+ good even for personal use!

Tue, 29 Aug 2000 03:08:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - First, let me tell you about the deal I got on the phone plan:

I normally wouldn't have considered getting Nextel, since it really is meant for business people. The walkie talkie, 2-way paging, wireless web, 2nd line option... those are all...

Handspring Visor Deluxe Handheld: Easy to use and expandable

Mon, 28 Aug 2000 16:22:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author virgilatmit - I bought my Visor Deluxe back in January, and have been completely satisfied with it. There are a ton of free software apps made for it (using the Palm OS), and the built in one's are pretty good too. While not as slim or as crisp as the Palm Vx, it...
