Works well and tastes great
It's brilliant toothpaste. Tastes of fennel, but not too strong. Natural ingredients - no artificial sweeteners so doesn't leave your mouth feeling weird after you brush. 50ml tubes so you can even bring it in your carry-on on a plane, which is good because when I don't have it I miss it.

Heelys are great fun for "big kids" too, but don't expect an easy ride if you're new to them
1 of 1 found this helpful A lot of fun. A few things I've learned about them:
-They're not as similar to roller skating / ice skating as you might assume because with only one wheel on each foot there's a lot more balance / stability required (not just side-to-side, but front-to-back as well). Single-wheeled Heelys like these are less stable but more versatile than double-wheeled ones apparently (allowing cornering etc),
but with double-wheeled ones, you can take out one wheel once you get more confident
-Using them is not a symmetrical activity. Like riding a skateboard, you have one leg in front, the other behind, and it's pretty much always the same leg you will want to put forward. Due to the asymmetry one leg tends to get tired first.
-Tricky to use if you have a briefcase, suitcase, shopping bag etc! In that case, it's easier just to yank the wheels out.
-You *can* remove the wheels without the included tool, but it's not easy...
-The surface really matters. When you see kids using them in malls / supermarkets it's because they work great on the smooth surfaces there. Flat paving stones also work well as long as they're well aligned (if not, not so well...). Asphalt / tarmac works in some cases, depending on how smooth it is. Cobbled roads / bricks really don't work well.
I'm familiar with skating, but it's not the same as skating. I'm also not well coordinated. Keeping that in mind, it took me a couple of days of practice to get confident with them, and a few more days to be able to go fast quite reliably (on good surfaces).
If you are meeting someone and you care what they think about you, you can always take out the wheels before you get there so as not to be judged.
Having said all that they're really a lot of fun. I'm over 30, and I really enjoy them. Practical? Not really. Make you look like a big child? Certainly.
5* because you should get them anyway - you will develop a child-like desire to go to the mall / shopping centre just because you know you can use them there :)

Great to play with friends, but slow loading and must be new/sealed
Destiny is a very entertaining game - it has the qualities of the Halo series (no surprise given the developer is Bungie) and has a wealth of cooperative and competitive missions to enjoy.
You can form fireteams with friends or strangers and carry out challenging missions together. It does quite a good job of balancing the difficulty when you have multiple players, and the "co-op revive" in this game is sensible, so even if your fireteam can't or doesn't revive you when you die in battle, you still come back, but you just need to wait longer.
That brings me on to another important topic though. While the graphics are beautiful, the load times (on PS3 at least) are enormous. You need to wait so long for maps to load that there is an in-game cut scene of space ships flying around that can't be skipped for maybe 15-20 seconds each time you go to a new map. Opening the game itself takes quite a while too. And that's all after the installation process - even without the expansions the installation requires download and installation of more than one 5-10 GB patch before you can start playing.
So this is a game only for patient people (on PS3 at least).
Speaking of expansions, so much of the game content is in the expansions that you will find it irritating quite quickly if you don't buy a version that is new / sealed with codes. Second hand copies, whatever they might say on the box (Vangard, Legendary, Taken King, Complete), are really just the base "Destiny" game without any expansions because once the codes are used, they're used.
Also the PS3 version may have slow loading times and less good graphics (they're good for a PS3 game), but it's also the only version with free online play, and this game pretty much requires online play. If you buy on PS4, Xbox 360 or Xbox One you need PS+ or Xbox Live Gold in order to play with others.
So with the couple of caveats mentioned, this is a great game!
