We Got Our Domain Name!

Posted on by

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know that we finally bought our domain name! Everyview.com is secured and ownership will be transferred to us in about 12 hours. After that it’s only a matter of days before you’ll be visiting our site without that pesky .wordpress subdomain to get in your way.

Along with that update, the Review Round-Up page will be finished tonight before I engage in slumber, I’m making that a promise. I don’t care how boring it is to make, it’ll be up and running for you guys to explore.

And one final note, we have two new contributors on their way in so keep an eye out for the Everyview Team to update and grow a little bit more.

Thanks a lot to you guys, the readers, for making this possible. Until next time, keep reading Everyview!

EDIT**

The domain thing worked out a lot quicker than I thought it would. Welcome to Everyview.com! Plus, the Everyview Round-Up is now finished! Goodnight.

We’re Doing Some Site Construction

Some of you may have noticed the new “Review Round-Up” page at the top. It’s not finished yet, as I’m sure you’ve likely noticed. However, it will be done soon but has, for now, slowed posting to a halt. When it’s done it will be a complete list of every review ever done by Everyview with links back and all that jazz. It will also take the place of the “Request Reviews” page, as readers are welcome to search through the categories on “Review Round-Up” and submit a request if they can’t find what they are looking for.

Anyway, hopefully this will be done by tomorrow so we can get back to bringing you more great reviews. Why don’t you go ahead and check out the page now and browse our small selection of Book Reviews or gawk at our massive and still growing list of Energy Drink Reviews. Until next time, keep reading Everyview!

This Is Why You Should Be Watching “Breaking Bad.”

Posted on by

About a month-and-a-half back, I reviewed the DVD “Breaking Bad: The Complete First Season” and praised it as the best and most original new show on television. Well, it turns out  Season One was only the launching point, as Season Two, which airs on the AMC network at 10 on Sundays, is taking the  insanity of the first go-around and pushing to even further degrees of twisted brilliance.

To enhance my argument, I have included a YouTube clip from the show’s most recent episode. When watching it, you will likely either share in the awe I felt while watching, or feel I am some sort of sadist who made you watch one of the most unpleasantly demented things you have ever seen. Regardless, I guarantee that you have never seen anything like this before, and if it helps get more people into the show, fantastic. Enjoy.

Developer: Nintendo
Players: 1
Genre: Puzzle
Cost: 500 Nintendo Points

Nintendo’s Art Style series has long been a competent source for great, addictive puzzling through the company’s downloadable services. Starting off as WiiWare exclusives, games like Cubello and Rotohex proved to be refreshing, fun, and innovative puzzlers. AQUIA marks the series’ debut in the DSiWare lineup, and for only 500 points, it’s a total bargain! But does it bring the trademark innovation Art Style games have shown off in the past? You bet it does.

venomenergydeathadderOverview:

Since its introduction to the market, Venom Energy Drink has grown into a respectable and worthy contender in the race for energy drink supremacy. They very quickly went from being a 3rd party underdog to heavy hitter and, building on the success of the original and lo-carb flavors is the new Death Adder, a sparkling punch flavored energy drink.

Straight from the can:

When you want piercing energy and instinctively quick reflexes, you need the cold-blooded Venom of the Death Adder, delivered in a fruit punch strike.

The Venom Potency Pack has a powerful does of taurine, glucuronolactone, L-carnitine and guarana, giving it piercing energy that strikes back.

Try saying glucuronolactone out loud with out sounding like an idiot.

Last week was pretty big for us here at Everyview. Here’s a list of our articles with links back so you can check them out!

There you go guys. A real big thanks to Kevin Cassidy from GoNintendo for featuring the DSi Camera Comparison article. That netted us like 10x more traffic than we usually get, so we were pretty excited. Anyway, we’ll be back tomorrow with some new energy drink review, and we’ll be continuing our DSi-centric articles (The Top 5: DS Games Everyone Should Play, some Nintendo DS game reviews), as well as a couple of things we haven’t planned yet, I’m sure. Until then, keep reading Everyview!

Okay, I finally got my SnaggStuff mystery box today. Posted a while back that I was going to show you the openings, so here it is. I actually ordered two boxes and they shipped them in a single package. Each box was $15, and supposed to have a retail value of $50. This means the actual price when new and from like an actual store. Not some super discount price online.

Nintendo DSi Camera Comparison

Ok, so we all know the DSi‘s camera is bad and that the miserable 0.3 megapixels is extremely, unbelievably low by even the lowest standards of today’s technology, but just how bad is it? It’s kind of hard to just imagine how much better your pictures would look on something better, like a 10.1 MP Sony CyberShot DSC-T300.

That’s where I come in. I took a little walk with both my DSi and my trusty CyberShot (which also has a touch screen) to take a series of pictures from a distance, close up, and one special shot which serves as the ultimate test. You may actually be surprised at the quality of some of the pictures the DSi took. I know I was.

All pictures are unedited aside from shrinking the CyberShot pictures from over 3,000 pixels to 640. DSi shots are on the left, CyberShot photos are on the right. Click ‘Read More’ to see the rest. All images can be enlarged by clicking, which I recommend doing. Continue reading →

Resident Evil 5 Review (Xbox 360)

Posted on by

Overview:

Xbox360_owp_NA3rdParty_CSCapcom’s long running Resident Evil series has been in my top three favorite gaming franchises for a long time, ranking right up there with Zelda and Mario. With an outstanding history of high-quality games (with the exception of a few titles), it’s easy to see why. Not to mention zombies.

Resident Evil 5 quickly became my most anticipated game for 2008. Then 2009. It takes after its revolutionary predecessor, the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 4, and ditches the traditional slow-moving gameplay, tank-like controls, and super restricted ammo counts in favor of fast-paced action more akin to recent zombie movies. Oh, speaking of zombies, it also gets rid of those.

jimgaffigankingbabyOverview:

After weeks of having to suffer through the standard “Long Wait” crap Netflix puts you through for new releases, I finally received my copy of “King Baby,” the latest DVD special from ultra-pale comedy star Jim Gaffigan.  Was it worth the wait? Yeah, for the most part I would say it was. But I do plan to elaborate so if you are interested in learning more, then by all means do continue reading.
