Retro-Review: Dexter Freebish “A Life of Saturdays”

dexterfreebishlifeofsaturdays1Overview:

“Wait, Dexter Who? I’ve never heard of ’em, sorry.”

“A Life of Saturdays” was the 2000 debut album put out by the Austin, Texas band Dexter Freebish who won the 1999 John Lennon Songwriting Competition with their first hit single “Leaving Town” which was a top 40 hit on the radios and its video was played almost constantly on VH1 for a good while.

And if you’re wondering about the band’s name, they originally as The Twigs but was later changed to Dexter Freebish. The name itself was taken from a roller coaster ride at Astroworld theme park in Houston, Texas called Dexter Frebish’s Electric Roller Ride.

So is Dexter Freebish’ “A Life of Saturdays” an album you should pull from the dusty shelves at the back of your mind or is it a memory better off lost alongside the memories of your fourth grade bully making you throw up then force-feeding it back to you?

The Top Five: Reasons Bob from Bob’s Game Needs to Shut his Mouth

Posted on by

welcometobobsgame1For those of you who don’t know, Bob’s Game was a Nintendo DS game made by one person. He put over 5 years into developing what looked to be a promising and fun game with an awesome premise. It really is a marvel that he, by himself, created such an interesting title when most big developers can’t get anywhere near that. But he went about the development process all wrong and Nintendo was forced to turn him away. Which could’ve been resolved eventually if he didn’t go all Axl Rose (insane) on the world and throw a series of fits and post countless hate articles on his blog. Bob, here’s why you should shut your mouth.

Review: Health Energy Potion

health-energy-potionOverview:

Health Potion is from the same company that brought you Mana, the original Energy Shot meant to look like it came straight out of a video game, which is an idea I love. Combining two of the greatest inventions of all time into one is always a good idea. Well, almost. Anyway, Health Potion uses a unique blend of herbs and ditches the overused Berry or Citrus flavors often found in energy shots for a Cinnamon Apple taste.

Oh, and it replenishes 160 HP.

Review: Grande Quesadilla

Overview:

tacobell-grande-quesadillaWho doesn’t love Taco Bell’s Quesadillas? Delicious cheese melted over your choice of juicy chicken or marinated steak, topped with a deliciously spicy sauce that perfectly compliments the already wonderfully seasoned delicacy and folded in a warm, tender tortilla. Delicious. And when something tickles your fancy, it’s never bad to have a bigger version. Right? Right.

Unless we’re talking about Taco Bell’s Grande Quesadilla. It’s kind of sad how something that should, in proper accordance with the laws of physics, be far superior when you add mass. However, for whatever stupid reason Taco Bell decided to change the it’s stellar Quesadilla formula when upgrading to a bigger size. I’ll explain more in the review.

That’s right everybody, this humble review blog that was started out of sheer boredom a mere 5 months ago has hit the 20,000 views benchmark. We started off getting 5 hits a day, maybe 15 if our friends went, but since then we’ve grown exponentially. We now average 260 viewers per day with well over 1,500 hits in a single week. It’s taken a lot of hard work, and I’m very proud of the fact that I’ve made something many people enjoy. Something that continues to grow. Something that is a part of me. Thank you guys so much for your support, this is a big deal to me so this is your only post for today, get over it. I’m gonna go celebrate instead!

Peace out, guys. Have a happy Saturday.

Review: Beefy 5-Layer Nachos

Overview:

beefy-5-layer-nachosLoyal readers know I’m a huge fan of Taco Bell’s value menu and with the new 5 and 7-Layer (review soon) nachos there’s even more reason to love value. The 5-Layer nachos are released to the menu as an enhanced version of the already available Triple Layer nachos, which consist of beans, cheese sauce, and red sauce. The 5-Layer nachos adds a three cheese blend of schredded cheese and a scoop of seasoned beef for only 89 cents.

But like all good Taco Bell items (I’m looking at you Volcano Taco and Triple Steak) this is only available for a limited time, so hurry up and read this review and then get your ass out there for some quality time with these nachos. They’ve only got a short time to live.
