| Should I get the Kindle Fire? |
|
|
If you are looking for an E-Reader, the Fire has way too much going on.
I love my Kindle, but I only wanted it to read books with, I wouldn't suggest the Fire as an iPad replacement though.. :/ |

| Are there any good free "fighting" games for pc? |
|
|
Emulator/Rom combinations give you the classic games, which include fighters! And they are free.. but "illegal.."

| In the past 2 years, what is your favorite game that came out? |

Two Years? That is really limiting!
|
| Best over-all beginner video game experience? |
|
|
Emulators are a great way to play classic video games on new systems!
They use low amounts of processing (unless you go to a high end emulator) and have all the titles. There are also third party programs that allow you to play multiplayer via internet/LAN |
||
| What video game has the best storyline? |
|
|
I rant about this a lot.
Very in-depth and detailed storyline with well developed characters. (Don't play the Gameboy sequel. Ever.) |
||
| what was the most overhyped game that you were disappointed for? |
|
|
Worst Final Fantasy (Unique) ever.. Linear plot, boring leveling system, HORRIBLE combat.. storyline was rather generic..
I was so sad when I played this.. |
||
| What game would you like to see getting a reboot? |
|
|
I think if they had writers of the same mindset as the originals, it could go great places, but sadly they decided to hire people of the same mindset as Disney, and gave us that horrendous sequel..
|
||
| Would you like to see a new killer instinct ? |
|
|
I still play this on my SNES! Orchid is crazy.
I would love to see them remake it, but usually with remakes, especially fighting games, they break something that makes the game loose that special awesomeness (I.e. Marvel vs. Capcom). |
||

Nostalgia and classics.

| What is the best salad dressing? |
|
|
Ranch dressing is an all time favorite for everyone, and it is really easy to make!
I usually do one part Sour Cream to one part Mayo, throw in some chopped garlic ('cause I love garlic!), add parsley, rosemary, chives, onion powder, and black pepper. It tastes great and is relatively cheap! |
||
| What is the best 'superfood' snack? |
|
|
Homemade trail mix type of stuff is usually the best for a on-the-go healthy snack.
If you have the funds/time dehydrating your own fruit and veggies to cut down on the added sugar is in a lot of store-bought products. Nuts have great nutritional value, Walnuts and Almonds are the two best as far as nutrition goes, but Pistachios, Almonds, and Brazil nuts taste better and pack great nutrition as well! Try to throw some whole grains, Kashi's "Go Lean" has great fiber and crunch to add to the mix! |

Skyrim is the fifth installment in the "Elder Scrolls" series; "Oblivion," the predecessor to Skyrim was quite good as well.. |

| What is your favourite video game developer? |
|
|
Overall I would say Square, but I feel they have gone downhill a lot lately.
Recently, I would say Bioware; they have put out a few great RPG's with wonderful elements. Although DA2 was a horrible game that was pushed far too quickly, i fell they are doing well with the Mass Effect Trilogy, and look forward to the new installment. (Note; I did not like the second as much as the first, so here's to hoping they don't keep going downhill) |

| Looking for good co-op games, suggestions? |

These are entertaining for a while, with a wide character selection it keeps the entertainment value a little more extended.
Again, as any hack and slash type, they get repetitive, but are fun with friends, and to make a drinking game out of.. |
||
| Looking for good co-op games, suggestions? |

This, and the second are really good, and have gotten rave reviews. Live action, feels a lot like Diablo.
Multiple available classes, sequel has even more. Entertaining, but can get a bit repetitive.. |
||
| Looking for good co-op games, suggestions? |
|
|
Great quirky fun RPG, local Co-op in combat.
Tales has always been reliably entertaining; also live action battles |
||
| Looking for good co-op games, suggestions? |
|
|
Two player co-op, kind of a generic RPG, which doesn't mean it is bad.
It is definitely playable, just a little slow, and the storyline takes a major WTF moment walfway through, but it is local co-op in combat |
||
| Looking for good co-op games, suggestions? |
|
|
Not a very well known game, but it has great animation as well as an amazing soundtrack (Chopin), a unique kind of storyline, and fun combat system, which is local multiplayer.
Downside; Abilities are repetitive, and it is a very linear game. But it is fun, attractive, and different.. |

Have you tried the Fatal Frame series? It is Japanese horror, so some of it is that sort of, startle horror, but it is pretty suspense-full. I really enjoyed them when they first came out.
|
||
| What is the best RPG you have played. |
|
|
New-age video games have lost their overall value.
The main goal of most games I see put out is about getting the best looking graphics, and thye lose a lot of quality storylines, characters, character development, and gameplay. In Example, Mass Effect, the first one had a diverse and expansive world, an innovative and intriguing storyline with well-developed characters and history. Mass Effect 2 had the well developed backstory for the characters, but the quests were extremely limited, it was relatively linear storyline with only a hand-full of sidequests, and gameplay was nothing unique. Granted, I enjoyed the game, but it wasn't that new, or innovative. The Classic video games bring in expansive storylines, as well as a difficulty level that is no longer present in today's video games. Mass Effect 2 is very beatable on insanity level the first playthrough; that is not okay. Today's video games are about financial gain: appealing to the largest crowd, and "dumbing" down to keep those players playing, and coming back. |

|
|
For me, I play it for the great storyline, so I would want to go with whatever system I had played the other versions on: for you, the PC.
This game though I feel was made with console in mind though.. I haven't heard if the Multiplayer will be cross platform, so here's to hoping it will! |
| how to use data transfer cable for nokia phone |
|
|
If you are using windows, and it doesn't "Auto Play" (open the file automatically), then you can click on/open the "My Computer" window, and it should display your local disk drives.
You would be looking for a "Removable Disk", or it may even have the title of the phone; once opened it will display a lot of files, so depending on what you are looking for, you might have to dig around for a bit. I use a Droid, and the photos I take with the camera are stored under the folder named "DCIM." |
| XBOX Game Console under $100? |
|
|
If you are unsure of the reliability against Craigslist and buying from private sellers, Gamestop guarantees their products, so there is that comfort by paying a little extra.
100$ for a working system is a bit low, and I would be cautious as to if it was boosted or not.. be careful, and be sure to ask to see it turned on and playing a game before finalizing! |

| Is borderlands a good game? Can some one explain it too me ?! |
|
|
Holy goodness! It is a great FPS with a well written post-apocalyptic world running rampant with mutated monsters and gang thugs.
Gameplay is relatively generic to any fast-paced FPS, it isn't a dodge and shoot kind of game, think, "Time Crisis" as far as shooter style goes. Your character levels as well, gaining stats, as well as allowing ability allotments. You are given the choice between 4 different classes, each with unique abilities, and weapon restrictions. There are great characters, and well written backstories. The voice acting is well done, also! This is definitely a game worth purchasing, more-so now that it is so cheap. There will be a sequel releasing soon, too! |

| best hand soap? |
|
|
This stuff is downright glorious.
It also is eco-friendly! Mrs Meyer's has a few different eco-friendly cleaning products, though I wouldn't suggest the dish soap as it has given my dishes a perpetual taste of basil soap.. it does not taste as good as it smells.. |

| What is the best way to polish an old cocktail shaker? |
|
|
This stuff is amazing. I use it on copper, silver, steel.. any metal that tarnishes. It has a fiberous product, soaked in its formula, that you tear off in small amounts and work your metal.
It does its job quickly, and looks great. (Plus it smells pretty good too :/ ) |
||
| I'm looking for some sort of small deep fryer, any suggestions under $100? |

There is only an on/off setting (really it is plugged in or not), and no temp adjustment, so watch your recipies, some products may need to be pre-cooked |

I really enjoy a fresh peach ice cream on a summer evening, and it always impresses guests. |
| What is the best beginner sewing machine under $250? |
|
|
I recently got a Kenmore machine off of Craigslist for an amazing price, and I am so stoked I did.
I grabbed it to start teaching myself about the basics on sewing, and to hopefully graduate to making my own clothing, and this machine will carry me through. All the parts that I have needed were easily located at a local sewing/vacuum specialty shop for very reasonable pricing. I have had it for about 3 months and I haven't had any issues past adding the few pieces it didn't come with. It stitches very evenly, and has about 12 different stitch settings, as well as length/width customization. Great piece for a beginner! Good luck, definitely a tradeskill that is becoming lost to the ages. |

There is no remedy. Once a product shrinks it is irreversible.
The wool fibers go through a process called felting that tightens and shrinks the fibers. If you knit a product with felting in mind, it is an amazing end product, soft and durable. If it wasn't your goal then you sadly lost that article... New outfit for your dog..? |

At this time in the season there will be a lot of sales, as well as clearance, happening for the end of the season; I bought a great coat, MSRP 85 USD for 15 at a local big box store.
That said, the TAVIK hoodie looks great, and with the simple pattern and color scheme could go well with many looks. |
| Guys - as a gift would you rather receive a watch or ray-bans? |
|
|
I would say it depends on your area, but I would prefer to receive a watch over a set of SunGlasses. I'd make more use out of a watch, and it would go with more looks, where a set of glasses would (theoretically) be limited to outdoor events and not get the mileage a watch would..
|
| What is the best leather biker jacket under $150? |
|
|
It will be hard to find a good quality leather jacket within that price range; I would browse sites like Craigslist and Amazon for used products. Leather lasts a lifetime, so you can find old jackets for good deals, plus vintage looks great on anyone.
JCPenny's usually carries a few leather jacket options, but I would not stand by their quality, or their ability to hold up against a spill. |

|
||
| What is the best color combination of shirt and bow tie, other than white? |
|
|
Bowties can go great with any dress shirt, it is about color matching, without clashing with patterns.
Adding a solid tie to a busy shirt creates a great accent and focal point to the shirt, keeping people from getting lost in the chaos of a loud shirt; a great patterned tie can bring a boring solid shirt alive by doing the same: creating a focal point to keep the shirt from looking like a wall of color. Don't be afraid to just pick up random ties and lay them against shirts at the store.. |
| What is the best bow tie to wear to a casual workplace? |
|
|
A bow tie is a great idea to dress up a casual look!
Try not to make it stand out too much, if you are tying it, but a louder tie would work well if you hang it untied casually around your neck. Dresses down the tie a bit, adds a great accent, and looks good. |

Otherwise Amazon.com and Craigslist are your best bet.. |
| Favorite coop game for a couple under $35? |
|
|
This is a great multiplayer action RPG.
It has beautiful graphics, and an amazing soundtrack, as it is based on Chopin's "Dream state" that he was in during his coma before he passed away. Again, these graphics are beautiful, one of my favorite styles. The storyline is really interesting, and relatively unique. Soundtrack is Great. Combat is fun and active; you even get to combine abilities with your friend! Downside, storyline is VERY linear, there is no exploration at all, and definitely no back tracking to old towns. Also, some of the abilities share the same graphics, with different color schemes. |

| What does refurbished mean and should i buy a refurbished laptop? |
|
|
If you are on a budget and can find the product for a good price, I say go for it.
Refurbished products generally have a relatively good guarantee attached with them, for the very reason posted here; No one trusts them. I have purchased and have had no problems with my refurbished products; but there is always the chance you will get a bad egg. I live on a pretty tight budget, being a starving college student, and I always appreciate great deals, so I would definitely give it a chance. Always buy from reputable dealers though, and check for guarantees! If you can talk to a real person, try finding out why the product needed to be refurbished? Software issues are very simple to fix, and hardware usually can just be swapped out; if you are nervous, research the product and any known issues that others have had with it. Good luck! |
| What is the best game (pc, xbox, playstation, nes, etc.) that you have ever played? |
|
|
Going Classic Here;
This game has one of the most interesting and in-depth stories I have ever read/played. The world, the characters, the back-story, the minor details in the game made it so fun to play, let alone the gameplay. I still replay this game, and am never bored of the story. (Please, forget the GameBoy version was ever made, it was such a horrible story. [PSP Version is OK, same exact story, just added two new classes]) The gameplay, if you have never played it, is a tactical RPG. Grid layout battlefield, turn based rounds, and each turn the character is allowed a move and an action. There are 17 different classes, as well as characters added through the storyline having their own unique abilities. You are able to recruit as many characters as you want (Including Monsters), and there are I believe about 15 unique characters to the storyline. It is a simple, but VERY well executed Game. |

| Best android apps for finding books? |
|
|
A lot of the Apps for eReaders have most of their features in Common, a lot of the difference lies in their aesthetics; if you are wanting something basic and reliable, I would definitely suggest the Kindle for Android App.
Kobo is prettier; great interactive UI that can link to your Facebook account, and with "in-app achievements" it congratulates you on progressing through your library. I haven't actually purchased any books through the Kobo, but they have a couple free ones available when you DL the app, and I believe they rotate through other free ones. |
||
| What is the best game for my Android phone? |
|
|
There is a free version available on the Android Market, it is Scrabble with your friends!
The app allows up to 20 different games to be running simultaneously, and as there is no time limit to your turn, you can take your time! There are adverts after every play, which can get a little annoying, but as the app is free, I think it is completely worth it! You can search for friends by username, or search for random opponents. Also allows to be linked to Facebook if you are into that. One sad note is that you do not earn the additional 50 points when using all 7 of your letters.. :( |

| What should I want in an e-reader under $200? |
|
|
I use, and love, my Kindle, without Touchscreen, or even a keyboard. It weighs i think 6 ounces, and is simple. No Bells and whistles to distract from the book.
Navigation is simple, although their filing system I think leaves a lot to be wanted, it is still cheap, efficient, and great battery life! No extra programs or "features" to gum up your experience, simple, and great! Edit: I will say, I have not used a Kindle Fire, but I feel it is too much like a Tablet, and I only wanted a EReader, so I cannot say if a Fire is Good, or Bad.. |
||
| Which is better FPS style games or RPG style games? |
|
|
I don't think that they can be adequately compared! They are so different, and have their own advantages and disadvantages!
I personally prefer RPG's, as I become very enveloped in a good storyline and character development. FPS's are fun for just "Pew-Pew-ing" and not for sustained interaction due to what I feel becomes repetitions and mundane. A few good combinations would be Mass Effect (1 &2, and soon 3) (Sci-Fi), Fallout Series (Post-apocalyptic), Elder Scrolls (Fantasy), Borderlands (Post-Apocalyptic), and there are definitely others.. These all provide expansive storylines with well developed characters, shooter style gameplay, high paced action and combat, as well as great Character Advancement/Customization! |
||
| Good RPG that lasts awhile under $50? |
|
|
Mass Effect (1 & 2) are great games, with well developed characters and intriguing, interactive, and evolving storyline. With the third installment we are promised even more story-line involvement with more apparent impact to the story/world. The Gameplay is much like Gears of War and KOTOR, but you have reticles which when accessed, pause gameplay and allow use of class specific abilities. Characters develop with level gains and point allotment to further customize their abilities, as well as allignment changes based on your choices throughout the storyline.
Another awesome aspect of this series is that the choices you make in a game carries over into the next game, making a more personalized game, depending on when you started the trilogy! |

Free Text based MMORPG! It is different, and is text driven, but it can be really fun and exciting.
They also have a couple other games with different flavours. Edit; Just Saw you wanted specific to Steam, which Achaea is not. It is based in web browser, but there are a couple of Applications you can download to support MUD's. |
| What are some good free to play games? |
|
|
A bit different, but it is a text based MMORPG.
It is free to play, and has a pay system for advantages, but you can get the full experience for free. It is a very well written back story with in-depth characters and involved and active moderators, who play as the gods. There are other games made by the same company with different stories and worlds, so a few flavors for what you like. They also will be releasing a sci-fi version in the near future, if that is your interest. |
| What non-smartphone is the best phone for a college student under $100? |
|
|
I loved this phone for a long time before I went Smart Phone. It is durable, and has both a Qwerty keyboard, as well as a number pad. With two screens it was very handy for quick-texting, time/date stamp, etc.
Definitely one of my favorite phones, and I still consider going back to it. I am sure you can find them cheap on craigslist, or ebay, for a good price, well below 100 USD. |
