I use it for anonymous torrent transfers & it does the job perfectly. Real easy to set up within minutes. I want maximum privacy especially when dealing with torrent's & the like, as this mask your activity from your internet provider or any1 that would want to track you.

Never had a problem with it & would recommend it to any1.

Formally a long time shaw internet supporter but no more. Why u ask? Well when my service breaks down & I'm paying around $100 I think any1 within that price range would expect prompt & professional service no?

Well forget about that with shaw because their CS desk is dismal at best.
Even when they do show up after re-scheduling your appointment, they have to come back & re-access the problem. Here's the thing. With Telus, I can get service the very next day & the tech that come's over doesn't leave until he's resolved thing's, & if he does leave he comes back the next day & finishes.

Soooo... quick, fast, & reliable. I did have my Smartphone under them for 2 to 3 years but when I bought a new 1 to replace that 1 it's did not support their network. So I went with Roger's.

Lastly Telus gives you the most "bang for your buck", in the sense that you get a lot from them for a fair monthly rate. Can't top that.

Was one of the 1st one's I used for recording game footage. It was the best for that & still is. I have the full license & still use it to this day.

No complaint's.

And it is indeed unique. I like this company for there unorthodoxed designs. I've bought quite a few spike'd bracelets from them which are still in immaculate shape & condition, even after 2 years of insane abuse I'm amazed they haven't broke on me.

If the prices weren't sky high I think I might be inclined to spend a LOT more, but u know these are in USD's so it's like double when I get to the checkout, not to mention the shipping isn't free.

All these factor's & than they don't seem to update, could be wrong on this 1, or maybe they don't put out a whole lot of new stock. Like the last time I checked for anything new was a few months back "in a certain category" & it was still the same leftover stuff that wasn't selling with no discounts.

Either way with the 3 pieces I did purchase at full price, I do not regret. Super happy with them. They are a NY based company, with a Korean designer I believe.

VLC's been around for ages & it's simply put, the best. Afaik it's never once given me any problems. No lag, broken subtitles, long skip time's, loading media, crashes, you name it. It doesn't get any better than this.

U can you use it to make. Gif's too.

  • AVAST Software

12/1/18

As the title suggest, it is the best "free" virus software out there that you can own for absolutely nothing. And yeah it is completely free, no hidden charges or anything suspicious like that. I like honest transparent companies & it would be nice if everyone operated like this.

I have since then become a premium subscriber & have renewed my license 3 times now. It's just that good. Ofc I've added on some extra features such as their VPN service which is great & works the way it's supposed to. No problems with it at all, & I find the uses for it are vast, so the price is justified. If you like privacy when on the WWW then you should consider this, but then again I also switch between this & OpenVPN, both are great for what they do.

Out of all the virus softwares out there, & believe me there are many, I feel Avast out does it's competition. Plenty of times where I've been directed to infected pages that with other programs I would've been Fk'd. & the repair to fix those problems I'd rather not fork the bill for. So I want to personally thank this company for that. It is very easy to use infact you don't really have to do anything literally, as it just does on it's own. So you can browse with ease & peace of mind knowing that your every click is covered by a robust virus killer.

I use to think the license cost was quite high, especially when you start adding on other features like a VPN & such, it can go into the hundreds literally, but I've since changed my mind. I feel that a company who tirelessly goes to work everyday to protect it user's by continually updating their software to counter present & future threats is worth supporting. You protect me I will in-turn protect you through financial means.

  • [OFFICIAL] VideoProc

12/1/18

Another great piece of software that I've purchased over the years. Actually back than the name was WinX so that give's you an idea of how long I've had it, trust it, use it etc.

That being said it comes with the following.
1: DVD
2: VIdeo
3: Downloader
4: Recorder

Pretty much all you'd want from a video processor, like being able to download any YTube video you would want, or converting/editing video with an array of options at your disposal, to mp3 conversions & more. The recorder has it's uses too. Even though I have a fully licenced Bandicam, I prefer to use this or work between softwares.

What you would expect. Helpful people here who know about their departments. I'm sure a lot of the staff here has previously worked or majored in a trade of some sort. Ofc I am certainly not referring to all staff because I have definitely met a lot of stupid & rude 1's who straight up should've been fired out the door, but lets not focus on that shall we?

Again their display's are pleasant to look at, & they have at time's live workshop's going on in the store, which I think is a great idea. When I do need assistance there is always someone there to assist me & answer any Q&A's I have about a particular product. Front desk is nice & have even offered at time's to load heavy item's into my vehicle. No idea if this is part of their policy or anything but if their doing this wholly voluntarily than a "BIG" thank you.

  • SAXX Underwear®

12/1/18

So I would say that these are probably the best set of undie's that your EVER going to own in your lifetime. I mean... I'm no underwear expert, but I can tell a "good" set from a "bad" set anyday. And yea, I do realize that they are seriously not cheap, and by that I mean seriously not cheap, as where talking at least $20 if not $30 for just 1 piece lol.

Yeah that's right 1 piece. Now I don't justify the price point on these things, & there's just no way any1 could but, from my experience they are the most comfortable set I've ever had the pleasure of owning in fact, I enjoyed them so much I now have 6 pairs from them with pretty rad looking prints I must say. Not to mention that they have a bunch of neat features put/built in like Anti-Odour/Moisture-Wicking etc.

If you do decide however to purchase them I don't think you'll regret doing so I'd say.
As with any underwear ofc if you abuse the "F" out of them ofc they would rip/tear etc, but from normal circumstances they should last you a good deal to justify that price tag.

  • IKEA

12/1/18

Well rating it on the sole basis of it's inventory they would score an easy %100. I like going to the 1 out in Calgary even though it's a bit far out, that is still ok with me. They do a really good job "At least this store/location does", of putting up displays. Gives me a LOT of idea's on how to improve the look of the house, even though I already have a good idea, and there's always new things they come out with which I really like. One thing I can't stand with a lot of stores is just carrying the same stuff & nothing new or innovative. Ikea is the polar opposite of that which I like very much.

Now how they treat their staff is another matter which they should have an internal look at from an independent source, imo at least their Canadian store's anyways. And by the way it is 1 of the cleanest & well kept store's I have seen. This i'm talking about on a daily basis so that is very commendable. 1 other thing as I don't know if every Ikea has a food court but that's just another good point about this place. Well done indeed.

  • Nero

12/1/18

So far Nero is my go to. Very simplified & laid out well even a novice could use it. I used the trial version at 1st but within a week I purchased their premium package with a lifetime license and with all the added other things they throw in you might as well do the same. Iirc it was around $150 but it is well worth it. You can however rent the software on a per basis, but considering I & anyone who does a lot of audio/video stuff, purchasing the lifetime license makes more sense & saves you in the longrun.

I bought a few Euro league Jerseys from them last Christmas as presents for my younger brother. To make a long story short he loved them more than the Nintendo Switch lol.

I like coming in here even if I have no intention whatsoever of purchasing anything I usually come out with stuff anyway because they always carry something new that catches my eye every now & than. Good quality stuff & a vast selection of it too. The staff at these stores are ready & able to help you out with any Q&A's u might have about any particular item your unsure of & they're very polite & friendly.

The prices on most of their gear is "fair", but it can get fairly pricey depending on what your looking for. Either way you can catch good deals every now & than, just make sure to visit anytime there's a major holiday or seasonal change since they swap out their inventory 4 time's if not more in a year.

Tip for consumers:
It's a good idea to go in & buy when they swap their inventory. You can get deals like 75% off.

I like this site. It's reliable & I think it's #1 in upload time's afaik or could be 2nd. Either way it's hard to find reliable site's these days that are still up & running, & this is one of those.
Good community too.

  • Panda Express

I can't say anything about other's experiences with this food chain, however the one were I live out in Calgary AB is phenomenal. Well managed, good staff, and most importantly good food. U know it's the only Chinese restaurant locally that gives out discounts & special promo's to get they're customer base back, & they try really hard to ensure that everything is stocked full at all hr's of the day, so I respect that. Either way I'm not really phased if they run out of a dish I wanted as all their food is great so I just pick something else instead, no big deal right?

Anyway you get good portions here like probably double of what you would get anywhere else & the prices are very reasonable. I compare them to Costco's food court. Staff's great too they're like family to me.

  • Gorilla Fitness

11/30/18

Literally a portable Bowflex. U can cover most if not all the exercises on a traditional home gym on this thing & it literally takes up no space whatsoever. You could probably haul it around in your car if u so wanted. I prefer this anyways since I can use it in the comfort of my house whenever I want, at my convenience.

You can get more info about this on their website.
But it's definitely worth the buy imo.

Tip for consumers:
U won't return it trust me. I wouldn't anyway.

The people here are very nice, down to earth, & extremely accommodating I love them. They're like a 2nd family to me. The receptionist is exceptional here as well as all of the staff that work here.

They don't pressure you into anything & they clearly explain everything to you in detail. I insured my car here & will do so for as long as I live here. I wouldn't go anywhere else to be honest & I would recommend anyone looking for a good company to insure under to come to this branch.

Want to start off by saying that when it comes to these speedy hair growth supplement's or Stimulating hair oils I tend to be very skeptical, but the Mane Choice has certainly changed my mind on them.

The Oils do work, I've used them right b4 a shower & I do notice an increase in thickness right away & within a week the growth of my hair has sped up. The reason I use them b4 a shower is bcuz I find the oil so thick it takes like 3 shampoo's to strip it out completely, no joke. But maybe that's why it works so well since it penetrates deep into the scalp I guess. Either way I don't leave them in as a treatment as it suggest as it's far too oily for me anyway.

The vitamins, & now they have them in a drinkable format as well work just like the oils. They taste god awful the pills I'm talking about, and I'm sure the powdered drink pouches taste far better now. Conclusion is that I would take these over any other brands I've tried, & I've tried all of them believe me. Just don't buy these off any 3rd party site as they probably aren't the real thing. Buy them off the original website ONLY.

Tip for consumers:
Don't buy them off Amazon. Use the official website.
