I really love this script, I too use iTunes. It really has a nice look to it, I like the blue and white bars for the info, the icons are nice, the settings page looks great, etc. By the way, the settings page itself is awesome, you can customize like everything in the player. The only problem I encountered was my mIRC crashed when I restored the default settings (may just by my system, not sure). It's also cool that you can set the rating right in the player, rather than just displaying the rating. Overall it's a great iTunes script, and it's a keeper in my book. I give it a 19/20 + top rated script :)

This is a cool mp3 player for mIRC. I like how it can adjust the volume, mute, and it's cool that you can customize the colors. The marquee title is cool too, and how you can customize how it works. Another great part of this script is the html help files that include pictures. But when I loaded up the script it said to /load -rs MP3 Player.mrc, when it should be /load -rs "MP3 Player.mrc" (quotes) since they're spaces in it. The alignment of the player could use a few adjustments too. And when there's nothing in the playlist and I hit "remove file", it'll say "you didn't select a file", but then also says "are you sure you wanna delete it..."; I think it should just halt after telling you you didn't select anything. Oh and I liked the mp3 information too. Overall it's a great mp3 player.

This script fixes common grammar mistakes that people make. It was easy to install by reading the directions in readme.txt and it works as it should. It's easy to add and delete words or acronyms. One feature that I liked was that it detects when to use "an", so like if you type "I need a egg", it would say "I need an egg". And it also auto-capitilizes. The only real problem I encountered was not knowing whether the grammar fixar was enabled or not, I would use $style in the menu.

This is an awesome script. Of course, it's an MSN Messenger that works in mIRC. It's very easy to set up (just load the .mrc file). Then the control panel has lots of features which you can set. The only suggestion I have is to disable buttons in the control panel to see the status of it. But the MSN thing itself is really cool. On the left side, you see all the notices, like when people sign on and off, with a nice background. Then on the right, you see all of your contacts. So then you just double-click a contact to start a query with them, and there's options to the right such as send file, view profile, etc. Overall, 19/20, great job!

This script has all of the basic commands that you'd expect, like auto join, slap, say, etc., but there are a lot of them. All of the commands are neatly organized in commands.txt according by user level, and you can get to it by clicking on a menu. It's easy to add "managers", just right click their name and click "add user", or use !adduser [nick] [lvl]. When I started reviewing the script, the first thing that I noticed was the animated titlebar, I think that's very unique. I also liked the fading color of the chat window backgrounds. So overall, 10/20.

This script changes the text theme of your mIRC. It's a pink, grey, and red theme. The timestamp is pink, the text is grey, and the "type of message" has the first letter underlined red per word.

Just load the .mrc file into your remotes.

Overall, it's nicely coded; it seems to cover all of the raws and texts etc. But make sure you don't have another theme installed already, or else it will just be all messed up.

I'll give it a 7/20.

Wii Classic Controller
Pros: Connects to your wiimote
Cons: I guess $20.00 is a little pricy.
If you want to play SNES or N64 Virtual Console games, a Wii Classic Controller or GameCube controller is mandatory, due to the triggers.

I bought this yesterday, because I wanted to play Super Mario World which I bought today. The controller cost me $20.00 at GameStop.

Before I bought it and took it out of the package, I thought the controller plugged into the Gamecube controller slots. To my surprise, it connects to your wiimote. So I like that it's [i]somewhat[/i] wireless, it's a hell of a lot better than plugging it into the slots. (Which is one reason I'd want this instead of a GameCube controller.)

But the thing works as it should. It is basically the same thing as a Super Nintendo controller, but this has 2 analog sticks. You can use the left one for SNES games, but I'd rather use the arrow pad.

So overall, I like it. I guess I have to recommend buying it, as it is needed to play VC games. (Unless you have GameCube controllers, of course.)

Nintendo Wii System (with Wii Sports)
Pros: Playing with wiimotes, wifi internet, photos, virtual console games, mario games, news, weather, wireless controllers with speakers and vibrate, can play GameCube games, console is pretty small, you can send messages to other wii's
Cons: Can't save virtual console games
I got a Wii this past Christmas, and I love it.

First off, the wiimotes. The wii comes with one, and I got another from buying Wii Play. They're wireless controllers that can sense where you're pointing, and how you move the controller. So when you play baseball, it know when you swing, and when you play bowling, it can tell if you put some spin on it. I really like that you can turn the Wii off via the power button on the wiimotes. Also, the wiimotes have little speakers for sound effects, and they rumble. For example, in bowling, it'll "ding" when it's your turn, or it'll make some noise if you mess up in Guitar Hero.

The wii is based around "channels". There's the Disc channel, internet channel, wii shop channel, news channel, weather channel, and some optional ones for free from wii shop. The internet, weather, and news run on wifi, which is very simple to set up (in options).

A really cool feature that the wii has is "Virtual Consoles". You can buy Virtual Consoles

Nyko Technologies Charge Station for Wii
Pros: Never replace batteries Holds a long charge Lights indicate when they're done charging
Cons: Nothing at all
If you have a Wii, you can't go without one of these. It's a wiimote charger, no more need for batteries.

I basically have this, but the brand I have is GigaWare (Wasn't on the site.). I believe this plugs into the wall, but mine plugs into my Wii via USB.

This product is absolutely amazing. You can just play Wii all day, then put the controllers in the charger when you go to bed. The next morning, they'll be fully charged.

I got one of these right when I got my Wii. I've never used batteries, and I don't get why people do.

When you get the product, you get special battery covers to put on your wiimotes. So put those on, then click the red Sync button on your Wii. Using a pen or something, push down the button on the cover of the wiimote so that it hits the red button inside (batteries are on the cover, so you cant just push the button inside the wiimote).

Overalll, if you have a Wii, get one of these!

Cooking Mama: Cook Off ( Nintendo Wii )
Pros: Good use of the wiimote Multiplayer (Not network btw)
Cons: Not really that exciting/fun
I got this game for $30 about a month ago. I think I should of just went with Wario Wares for $50.

This game's alright, it's kind of like Wario, where you do different things with your wiimote. You chop, serve, fry, butter pans, roll dough, etc...

But after a while, it kind of gets boring because you do the same stuff for like every recipe, and I've heard that this is nothing like the DS version which everyone seems to love.

If you're not really into video games and just want an easy game, or wanna play with the family or something, I guess this would be a good game for you.
