3 kinds of entertainment!

SUPER TALENT 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) NG-8GB
SUPER TALENT 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) NG-8GB

Pros: This thing writes data AND ink. You can see this thing write AND laserize This thing has has USB electronics AND Laser Electronics But it has 3 kinds of entertainment. For only 20 bucks? AMAZING! I purchased 2! Free shipping. done. Very convenient, I keep this in my pocket rather then in a pouch/backpack. I travel with a writing utility, a laser pointer AND Data, WOW! Bragging rights. Pen piece is a twist-retract, not a push button. Backpiece is heavier then the front, making my style of writing easier to use. Clip-on piece, so I don't lose my data/pen/laser. Screw-on in half, so it doesn't pop off through a slide on. Free Tin Case. I can't tell if it's Black or Blue, but the writing is definately black. The '8GB' sticker can be removed. No branding of any kind on it, or at least I haven't found it.

Cons: The Tin/Aluminum case is a bit flimsy, but That's only for storing the thing off, not protect it form earthquakes. As someone else said, the instructions are kinda iffy, but it's easy enough to figure out. But about the actual sheet of instructions, it took a while to actually pull it out of the tin-case, lots of sliding. I bought 2, one for me and a friend and they said it was heavy. When screwing on the laser attachment to the actual pen/flashdrive, it squeaks a little. Not very stealthy. The button is a little too obvious, Not very stealthy.

Overall Review: A note to others, to use the pen, you have to turn the tip counter clockwise if it's pointing down. There's a battery cover, you have to unscrew the USB from the laser and then unscrew the silver part that was just unscrewed to the USB, a red slip should be there. Positive faces outwards for the battery!!! This pen loves fingerprints.

Premature Death

JetWay JM26GT4-LF AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
JetWay JM26GT4-LF AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It booted 4 times and worked each time

Cons: It died at the 5th boot (was same day of receiving). I can't consider this a DOA, only a defect. I can't seem to put my finger on what the problem is, either. RMA in progress....

Overall Review: I'll attempt to reconsider purchasing another JetWay board, But I'll try and give them another chance.

Pioneer Review, Awwww yeeaaah.

MAXPlier PRO 10 Function Precision Machined Multi-Plier w/ LED Flashlight
MAXPlier PRO 10 Function Precision Machined Multi-Plier w/ LED Flashlight

Pros: Awesome. I lost my old multi-tool on the beach somehow. It's very large. With the pliers deployed, I can use my entire hand to clamp down on the handles, rather than a section or so. Very robust. I was able to leave a piece of a U.S. Quarter flattened. The 'leather punch/awl' or the tool in the center. It's a tiny bit thick to fit through the space in a doorknob lock. It goes through but the tool widens, impeding any progress. However, makes for a great tension wrench, however unorthodox.

Cons: Vague product description. It didn't include the size of the bite or the entire thing really. The bite size on the pliers is about one and a half U.S. Quarters, which is just about 1.4". The spring creaks a little bit. At least mine does. It might be me, or the particular item I got, but it's really hard to unfold the thing. My old tool I just swung it and it opened but this one I have to use not only my fingers, I have to use my hands AND MY ARMS! The case is kinda ugly but I'm not complaining. Oh wait.... Doesn't quite hit the force-eject button on optical drives.

Overall Review: IT'S HUGE. I bought this to replace my old Multi-tool that fit in my tiny pocket that only fits like one finger. This thing fits snugly in my normal pockets. Goodbye concealability. Flashlight body is chrome/shiny. I'm weary of the wood. It feels like it's real and it might give out some mean splinters if it's roughed up. Makes it look a lot less hostile, however.

Best. Game. EVER.

Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition PC Game
Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition PC Game

Pros: I've had this game since Launch day and I still play it. I'm rather disappointed on the DLC's (excluding G.Knoxx) but they're excellent for this price. Game is EXTREMELY addictive if you've got the right tone. Easy to make friends, hard to make enemies. It's a Cooperative game after all. MASSIVE community. Animations of everyone is obviously fake, but engrossing. DLC's are kind of niche' areas. Zombie isle is very short and linear. Mad Moxxi's is stationary and repetitive. Claptrap's Robolution is open world and spread thin. General Knoxx is vehicular and ridiculously Ludicrous in terms of bonuses. Weapons. There are more weapons then there are Chinese characters. In this game, Skill cannot trump equipment. Hopefully my review isn't cut off.

Cons: Infamous "General Protection Fault". Search it. Modified equipment and characters run rampant, but they keep to themselves (mostly). Online is hosted on the host's machine and introduces a 1/8th to 1/4th second lag. This affects jumping, shooting, Skills and all combined. Can get VERY bad up to 1 second. Line speed doesn't matter. a 1mbit speed is the same as a 50mbit if you don't modify your config manually (nobody does. Extensive searching brings about nothing.) Not really a con but most areas are open. You can escape from the level and run around the developer's messy areas. You can see exactly what they did, why they did and how poorly some things are really done. However, it doubles as intriguing how some areas are well constructed and protected, and how others are unrestricted. You can easily spot reference models for cutscenes in select areas. Screenshots on the STEAM store have been modified. Noticable on Brick's Rocket Launcher sticking on the outside of his

Overall Review: This game is far too easy once you've got knowledge. I've always said, I like games that are won by Skill and merit, not knowledge and money (Ex: Call of Duty Versus World of Warcraft). However, this is the only game where I make an exception because it's a hybrid of Skill and knowledge that get you anywhere. Even though you can be the fastest most agile player ever, it won't help unless you know what to use, when to use it and where to use it. Same goes Vice Versa. You can read guides upon guides, but in a live-fire situation you might as well let your teammates do the work if you can't hit the broad side of a Crawmerax. This game WILL reveal any instability in your computer. In fact, it showed me I had a dying by crashing when sorting my list of guns (over 1000). Even though there are a TON of Con's, this comes from someone who has had this game since Launch day and has checked every crack for Lead and Gold. Also I'm a sucker for Co-op games.

Simple. Biscuit.

Pros: This thing is versatile. It acts as the ultimate thermal paste, a home for my rat, a potty for my rat, AND a food source for my rat. Put it all together and you have a nice and warm rat mansion. After Ratty took a few meals, it created a labyrinth of passageways, one of which lead directly to the center of the universe. There I found a cow, 8 racoons, 13 sponges and a bottomless pit with 3 rotted bodies in free-fall. I wrote a sign above the biscuit saying "Easy-Access".

Cons: I get jealous and take a bite occasionally. Ratty is far too pampered. smells refurbished Doesn't quite hold down the fort. Although it's regenerative ability is useful when trekking across the Sahara Desert, it doesn't quite fit as a mitten.

Overall Review: Mine was delivered with a giant bite shaped chunk missing and found several new kinds of diseases free of charge. After taking 2 jealous bites out of the biscuit, I had the urge to tear every Escape key off of every keyboard with a 59.2 Mile circumference. Upon completing my mission within 41.11 seconds, I then decided to dropkick Eek the cat. The biscuit then trudged down my intestine, and I dropped a nice souvenir on a nearby pedestrian. They became infected with the B-virus and then became a clone of Ratty. Thus began the Ratty Apocalypse.... Several days later Newegg decided to take the situation into it's own hands. They sold Bacon and Eggs to combat the B-virus at 41.11, but with only enough stock until the end of 4/1/11. All Newegg consumers then joined forced to make the Coalition of Eggstravagent Baconation. With all their force, the fat from all the bacon forced the eggs to hatch, thus unleashing the FEAST.

DELICIOUS.

Pros: It shipped exactly like it looks like in the picture. In fact, I nom nom nom'd it right out of the delivery guy's hands.

Cons: Not enough fat involved. Only caused 3 heart attacks.

Overall Review: Really? is this sale for 41.11 only for the date 4/1/11? REALLY?!?! Seriously though, I wonder what happens if you really could purchase it. Better get some kind of Newegg sticker the size of my garage door. Now there's an idea.
