Royal Smokers' M7, my first e-cigarette

Advantages: no smoke, no tar, no burning side-products, you don't smell nasty, no ash, you can smoke in bed!
Disadvantages: starting price, battery needs charging kinda often, you feel funny at first

...The M7 e-cigarette from Royal Smokers I reckon almost everyone's heard about an electronical cigarette already. But what is it really good for, what does it feel like and isn't it maybe even worse (healthwise) than ordinary cigarettes? That were questions I was asking myself after a mate introduced his e-cigarette to me a couple of weeks ago, so I started my own research. Entering the first big tobacco shop and asking about e-cigarettes I got this reply from the lady: "No, we don't sell them and I hope we never will, coz it's way worse than the normal cigarettes, it's even way more expensive...blabla!" This got me even more curious. The e-cigarette consists of: 1. Battery - the long part, which in a normal cigarette would be filled with tobacco. The battery is a rechargeable Li-on and lasts approx. as long as...

Review of RoyalSmokers M7 Electronic Cigarette

Your Mission, Should You Accept It - Is To Read This Review!

Advantages: Fast pacy spy adventure, with great music and some equally great stunts.
Disadvantages: Stunts a bit far fetched - but you expect that with this sort of film.

...Mission Impossible (1996) We just felt in the mood for an older movie, but an excellent film all the same to watch as a family, as pickings are a bit slim at the moment. My children picked it for us to watch as a family. What's it all about? Of course the film is based upon the same set up used in the television series of the same name. Having said this, I have not watched any of the original series as this was before my time. The film is a secret agent movie, with a group of agents given the task of going to Prague to stop a top secret list of agents, passing into the hands of traitors. The group are told to walk away if the mission fails and that their bosses will not admit to knowing them if they are captured. The mission does go awry and it seems that all of the agents are killed, all except for Ethan Hunt (Tom...

MISSION IMPROBABLE

Advantages: Good action, Tom Cruise is good
Disadvantages: Weak story and some poor cast

...‘This is not mission difficult, this is mission impossible.’ Not a bad quote from the film, after all this is supposed to be the best of the best in the spying world. Mission Impossible 2 follows on from the original film, with Tom Cruise as the best spy in the world facing the toughest assignments. Just the film does not turn out to be the best of the best in the film world, despite some decent stunts and Cruise in there it just does not cut it among the best. Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt, top spy for the IMF to bust worldwide terrorism and anything wrong with the world. This time he is out to stop former colleague and spy Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) from unleashing a new and deadly killer virus on the world. Their fiendishly brilliant plan this time is to release the virus that unless treated within 20 hours results...

On a mission...

Advantages: Cheap very affordable Speaker, with unbelievable amounts of quality.
Disadvantages: Too much bass for some... but not for me...

...for extended periods of use. And above all else when people see these dominant, yet sleek speakers they can't help but say wow. There big, but not too big, but do be sure that your room is big enough for the sound they produce... My top tips for buying using and listening to Mission 702e's:- These speakers are very cheap now, if you shop at the right outlets. I suggest looking in What Hi-Fi for prices, but I have seen them for as little as £79.99!! Choose your amplifier very carefully, as some amps I listened to with these speakers gave some disappointing results. For instance the Technics amp as good as it is in its own right sounded very flat. Listen to the speakers on a low volume for a period of time i.e. - 4 weeks or more. This will help to bed the speaker in, and avoid any unnecessary damage to the driver (Over driving...

Review of Mission 702e

Magnificient Monster Mission

Advantages: Super stroyline
Disadvantages: Maybe a little scary for some children

...Monster Mission is a fantastic book for children and even young adults. It is a fantasy style story written by Eva Ibbotson and was first published in 1999. The story is 230 pages in length but is split into manageable chapters making it easy to digest and read in small chunks. I think however that most people will find like I did that the book is quite intriguing once you begin and that it is difficult to pull yourself away from it. Monster Mission tells the story of on Secret Island upon which three aunts are plotting to kidnap three children. The Aunts however are not kidnapping the children for any evil purpose, oh no the Aunts are kidnapping the children simply because the island needs them. The Secret Island in question is a refugee for all kinds of magical and wonderful creatures and although the Aunts are trying their very...

Mission Accomplished!

Advantages: Bags of scope to personalise your mechs, good storyline
Disadvantages: Some over-long dialogue sections drag a bit and sometimes the loading takes a while

...Sombody asked me just yesterday to name my top 10 PSone games and amongst other better known titles, I mentioned Front Mission 3, which I felt I should explain a little as she'd probably not heard of it. As I started to explain I realised that it deserved a review, even if it is a bit outdated now. So here we are... GAME INFO Genre = Turn-based strategy/RPG (Role Playing Game) Publisher = Squaresoft Players = 1 Player Online = No Age = No certificate Released = 2000 STORYLINE The year is 2112 and you play Kazuki Takemura who, along with his good buddy Ryogo, is a wanzer test pilot. Wanzers (frequently referred to elsewhere as 'mechs') are essentially large robots with human pilots, the name being derived from the German 'wanderung panzer' which, if my GCSE German serves me correctly, means 'walking armour'. Anyway, is...

Review of Front Mission 3 (PlayStation)

Mission Enjoyable

Advantages: Intricate plot, excellent acting, appropriate action sequences
Disadvantages: They made a sequel...

...As I have said, Mission: Impossible 2 was a poor film, and as I mentioned in that opinion, its predecessor is far better. I thought I might elaborate upon that. Just for a bit of background, M:I began as a series in the sixties where the IMF (Impossible Mission Force) were sent on many...erm...Impossible Missions. Of course, they weren't impossible as they nearly always managed to complete the mission. The team was lead by Jim Phelps (played superbly by Peter Graves), and the team consisted of many different operatives (some of the more notable ones being played by Martin Landau and Leonard Nimoy). The missions often involved elaborate stunts - at least for the time - which often had to be taken with a pinch of salt here and there. However, for the most part it was well scripted and enjoyable viewing, at least for the fantastic theme...

Final MIssion

Advantages: Good fliying scenes
Disadvantages: Eye candy

...If you happen to have 85 minutes to kill, then Final Mission could well be a film you might want to watch. Or then again, it might not. It is basically Top Gun with added science fiction nonsense. The creators of the film decided to use Virtual Reality, adding it to the tried and tested Top Gun format. But seemed, sadly, totally unaware of what Virtual Reality actually is. Virtual Reality is a computer generated method of providing an artificial simulated environment to enable people to pretend to be in an environment or a situation that they cannot be in real life. Either it would be too dangerous or otherwise impracticable for them to be in the real environment. Lawnmower Man or any episode of Star Trek voyager shows what Virtual Reality is. Although the use of Holographic imagery and force fields in Star Trek voyager is...

Advertising Mission Possible

Advantages: High energy action scenes
Disadvantages: One long product placement exercise

...The second Mission Impossible film was even more stylised than the first one and overall was an enjoybale film to watch although I did have the feeling that I was watching a rather long advert for boys toys as there was a car chase featuring a porsche and an audi and some very long lingering shots on all types of electronic gadgetry. Once again Tom Cruise stars as Ethan Hunt the man with a number of faces and the ability to pull off daring missions, the film opens with his apparent assistance to an old friend a Scientist from Russia however the scientists discovery, a humanity threatening disease is stolen by a rogue operative called Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott). Cruise is tasked with recruting a glamourous jewel thief Nyah (Thandie Newton) who is a former lover of Ambrose to lure him out and find out what exactly he has obtained...

Another Impossible Mission?

Advantages: Good action sequences
Disadvantages: A bit predictable

...about this film that lets it down is that there are no surprises. You kind of know what you're getting from the title, and you know early on from the story itself how its all going to turn out. But it is the third in the series, so perhaps a bit of predictability isn't the worst thing that could happen to it. All in all, this is the best of the Mission Impossible films, proving that a sequel can be every bit as good as the original, and sometimes better than the films that predecess it. If they keep making the Missions like this, then I'll be happy to keep going to the cinema to see them. Having purchased only the single disc edition of the film, I couldn't possibly comment on the quality of the 2 disc format. However, with a making of documentary, some commentary's, and a few deleted scenes, its clear to see that even on the single...
