WELCOME ... why are you here?

 Hey everybody! I'm Ari and I'm bored.  

I buy LOTS of stuff and give honest reviews on amazon.  I even try to be sure to include pictures and videos where I can because when I buy stuff, I look for that.  Pictures typically mean proof they touched the product. 

I currently have 122 reviews on amazon and 58 people have said at least one of them was helpful. You can go look at my amazon profile over here! Don't worry, it opens as a new window.

And I'm willing to give honest reviews over YOUR stuff too.  And I do mean honest.  If I don't like something I am going to explain why I don't like it, but I will also explain why someone else might. If i love it, I'm going to explain why I love it, and why you might not.

But I want to review things off of amazon as well as on and be an easy place for people to find them.  Oh, that amazon link? not only will it donate to charity but i get a small percentage of whatever you buy, no out of pocket to you.  They give away part of their profits. 

I'll try to have tags to make life easier (and i like categorizing) but i'm pretty sure I'm going to try to include all this stuff in my post

1. *name of product - this is pretty obvious
2. *type of product - is it a capture card, webcam, maybe its candy or a craft kit
3. bought or gift - I am going to openly say if i bought this or someone else did. 
4. How much is it worth? - even if i got it for free, I want to say hey this product sells for $$
5. Product description - what the product promises to do. - and will be held accountable
6. my initial reaction - if i have comments about the package or opening the package, I'm going to put it here
7. setting up the product - if you need to set it up, I'm going to talk about it.  If it's confusing or complex I'm really going to talk about it and explain EVERYTHING so you can easily set it up yourself. 
8. using the product - I'm going to talk about using the product.  That is what this blog is primarily for.  Please note, I will talk about what I like and don't like.  If i think other people will like a feature that I don't care about, I'm gonna talk about that too.  
9. *definition rating, not on if i like it or not. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean it doesn't 100% do everything it promises, and therefor I do not believe I should take down stars.  And I might pull an amazon and do multiple parts
10. *PERSONAL RATING.  - this is where i'm going to say if i like the product or not, I don't know what i'm going to use, not stars, but something... the emjoi will get added later. 
11. *what now - at the very end I'm going to explain what I'm going to do with the product.  Am I keeping it? am I giving it away? maybe IN DA TRASH! am i giving it back to the person who gave it to me? I'll tell you here
12. Links to where you can buy them or the name of the brick and mortar stores.

So, first thing is first, I'm gonna grab all my amazon reviews and throw them up here and have one drop every day.  These are all old reviews and take almost no work, it will also give both of us an idea of how these are going to be. (Look, i came up with this when I realized Amazon had public profiles.) Things I have to pay for are going to be uploaded on schedule, no more than once a day... I don't buy stuff every day, so there is going to be periods it doesn't have stuff. 

If i'm given something that is going to be posted immediately after reviewing the product.  Someone pretty much paid me to write something.  It's getting written.  Depending on the product and how much stuff i have to review I don't know how fast I can get *your* item up.  But it will go up. 

So let's talk about what I am willing to review right now. 

100% MUST BE LEGAL.  It doesn't have to be YOUR content.  But it has to be legally obtained.  I don't pirate.  Don't ask me to. No scams.  If i **THINK** it's illegal I wont touch it, if i think or get proof that I have an illegal object I will hand it over to the authorities with EVERYTHING i have about said object. 

I am okay with most adult content provided that i am WARNED about what kind of adult content and any kinks that is attached.  Mind you there are federally illegal kinks that apply to the paragraph above this.  And there kinks that are illegal in Washington State, USA, where I live that i will just nope back to sender.  There is also kinks that I will just nope back to sender.  (also NO RICK AND MORTY.  NONE OF THAT STUFF) - adult content will be interesting to handle.  We will cross that bridge later. 

• Video games - I have a switch, pc(windows 10, steam, epic, amazon, and *ugg* ea) and ps4 in my room that i can capture and post videos.  Depending on the type of video game and how much I'm enjoying it, I'll drop at least an hour into your game.  More if i like it and lose time.  It has to be a short or REALLY bad game for me to nope before an hour (and there is games like that) - i have a 3ds, phone, wii-u, ps3, and honestly I don't know what all this house has beyond that. 
• Table top games - Board games, I freaking LOVE board games! I also love TTRPGs (table top role playing games)  I need friends to play them with most likely but I would LOVE to get a chance to review more of these. 
• Movies, videos, podcast, songs  - You want me to watch your whole movie or some of the videos on your channel? okay I will.  Just send me links to where I can view them or physical stuff will be explained later. 
• Books - If you want me to read a book, I will, if you give it to me. I'll sit down and read the whole thing unless I nope out, and very few things make me nope out.  And then I will give my review.  If you want me to read a series... we will see.  Let me review the first book and then I'll tell  you if i'm willing to move forward.  There is a few series that I'm planning on reviewing.  I read all kinds of books.  I prefer English and kindle, or English and audio.  my spanish is VERY (2 decades) rusty and my german is currently a joke
• Puzzles - Yes... I will happily sit down and do a puzzle, the jigsaw ones are nice and calming, but the kind that Chris Ramsey has a channel dedicated to is something that I would love.  Those would get full on youtube recordings of me being dumb and trying to figure it out because I am in NO way smart as Chris. I'll even prob stream them live
• Food - non perishable please! Candies are great! Every plate is going to get a review! I have reviews on google maps about restaurants I've been to which will get put here.  
• Crafts - omg ... i don't know if i should say please yes or please no. heh.  I know how to counted cross stitch, diamond paint, yarn pull rugs, crochet. I can doodle, I think I have all the tools to do those metal sculptures. I'll happily work clay and new mediums and be just like the youtubers Jazza or Jackie. Though I wont do full videos...  or maybe I will... we will just have to see huh?
• Electronics -  cameras, phones, tablets, headphones, mice, keyboards, whole computers or laptops, webcams, capture cards, thumb drives, externals. Sure, I'll try it.  Actually I'm in the market for some of those things so I will very happily try them to see if I honestly want to buy/keep them. 
• Computer/mechanical components - hey now, this one is iffy.  Unless you are a reputable dealer or buying them FROM a reputable dealer and having them shipped to me, I prob wont accept them. At least not until I get a new computer and can do whatever with this one. 
• Clothing - I'm pretty comfy with my body and willing to try stuff.  I like wearing men's xl shirts and my actual body size changes.  If you want me to wear something you made or some cosplay you think would be fun, contact me and i'll give you my sizes. I'm curvy. So in the market of those +size girls. 
  
• Collectable stuff - dice, cards, mini figure, mlp, mystery boxes.  I'll happily review it! 
• Art - Okay.  Sure, the kid gave me an idea that I can put on this list that I don't already have.
• Misc stuff - If its not on this list ASK ME

Okay I tried to ask my son for more ideas and after naming 3 of the things he started cracking jokes... hahaha (okay, i have a pretty cool kid)

How about some things I don't want review 

Weapons - unless its a bow or staff, I'm not interested.  I have a 9 year old in the house and no real way to store dangerous items.  And except for guns and bows, no training to really understand them.  Pocket knives are okay. 

Children - my son is very insistent that I put this on this list. I think it's more he doesn't want more kids around than the 3 other that he lives with or whatever friends he brings home.

okay I don't really know what to put on that list right now. 

So how can you contact me.  Well there should be a thing somewhere on this page that says "contact me" :D or you can stalk me over on twitter, i'm almost always over there. 

So, what review am I grabbing from Amazon first?

There is a list of what I'm going to blog about HERE its google sheets and you can make snarky comments!
