Monster Army

I was looking around the web for information to use in the Monster Khaos review I recently posted and I came across something called the Monster Army. At first I wasn’t interested in joining, since I already had enough resources to write the review, but I was enticed with offers of free Monster gear. I decided I like free stuff, so I signed up.

The Monster Army offers chances for sponsorship for local and undiscovered extreme sports athletes. I’m gonna see if I can get sponsored as being an extreme bloggist. If it works out, which I doubt it will, I’ll give some loyal readers some free stuff.

Overview:

“Licensed to Ill” was the 1986 debut album of punk-rock rappers, the Beastie Boys. Produced by Def Jam Records’ Rick Ruben, this album successfully blended punk rock, metal, and hip hop to create a very unique sound and essentially create an entirely new genre. The revolutionary album went on to sell well over 5 million copies and was featured in Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Five Hundred Greatest Records of all Time”, ranking number 217.

Far Cry 2: Tip of the Iceberg

As Zac hinted, I have chosen my most anticipated game,Far Cry 2, for the topic of my first post. I wouldn’t quite consider this a preview, just an introduction into what the game has to offer. As I have been limited to only one video to show, I have chosen this one for how it shows many of the games features such as fire propogation, wind effects, and unscripted AI. Note some of the things that Clint Hawking, Creative Director of Far Cry 2, says while watching. Expect a Review in the near future, but not before October 21(and because of the depth of the game a while after that!).

Greetings…

Hi, I guess it’s my job to introduce myself to the site before anything else. My name is Patrick O’Brien, or P-Twak for some unknown reason. I am a contributor to the site to help Zac with adding posts and helping to keep the sites namesake true. But a little about myself before I start posting. I’m going to college for dentistry and i mostly enjoy things in entertainment such as video games, movies, and television. I also appreciate activities such as skateboarding and soccer.

Well, now that you know a concise description of me you’ll expect to know what my posts will contain.

Review: Monster Khaos

Posted on by

Overview:

Monster Khaos is a very, very unique product. It uses a creative energy blend that is so scientifically advanced that it has the ability to defy mathematical laws that have stood in effect for a very long time. How? The Khaos formula is somehow able to incorporate  an amazing ratio of 50% Juice and 100% Monster. Many would tell you that is theoretically impossible, but the folks at the Monster lab would spit pure energy on their face and then kick them in the chest for being such nerds.

Straight from the can: “It’s alive… Monster Khaos, an insane Juice-Monster hybrid bubbling with the great Monster taste and the big bad buzz you know and love.”

Review: Big Black Java Monster

Overview:

If you are the kind of person that prefers your Monster to bite back
then you are going to want to grab yourself a Big Black one. Grab it
tight and hold onto it with pride. Note how hard it is to wrap your
hand around this 15 oz behemoth. Can you handle it? Take a risk. Walk
up to the cashier and whip out your Big Black beauty. Tell him you
want it more than you’ve ever wanted anything. In exchange for your
$2.49 he will let you tear into this bitter-sweet supplement. Do it
slowly, try not to shake. Slowly lift the Big Black Monster to your
lips and take it all in. Don’t swallow yet. Savor it. Mmm.

Review: Gold Peak Sweet Tea

Intro:

Ahh, tea! I don’t really like tea. But when I was looking for something to review, I thought the bottle looked very sophisticated, and I love sophistication. So bought it, took a picture and now I’m going to review it! I’ve only had 2 drinks so far, so bare with me.

Gold Peak Tea comes in various flavors. 3rd drink. I’m reviewing the Sweetened flavor because I thought it was the safest bet. Remember what happened last time I took a risk and picked something based on it’s bottle? Yeah, the Root Beer Float thing. Never again.

Review:

4th drink. Anyway, It’s not bad. In fact it’s pretty good, even though I’m not a huge fan of tea. But I’m just rambling. It comes in a 16.9 fl. oz. bottle at only $1.39. That’s pretty cheap, I think. I’m not sure, because I don’t buy tea that often since I don’t drink it that often. 5th drink.  Anyway, tea is supposed to be healthier for you, so I got it. 6th drink. It’s also kinda late and I have class tomorrow morning, so I didn’t want to get an energy drink. 7th drink.

Fifty Percent Grey: Akira Director’s First Short Film

While the fact that Akira may be Ruairi Robinson’s first job as the director of a feature presentation has many fans thoroughly worried, I feel extremeIy confident in his abilities. Why? I recently stumbled upon his first animated short film and came away thoroughly impressed. The title is called Fifty Percent Grey and won Best Short Animated Film at the London Effects and Animation Festival after it was released. It was also one of just a handful of films under consideration for an Oscar under the short animated films category. Here’s the embed:
