[The Everyview Update] 10/25/2009

Not much to talk about this week at all. In fact, I don’t think we’ve undergone a single update here on the site. Luckily, though, I do have one announcement to make that should get some of you pretty excited. Tomorrow we will begin hosting a brand new contest. Rules and all that jazz have yet to be finalized, and prizes are remaining a secret until tomorrow.

Sleep tight, Everyviewers. Rust thine angelic heads softly upon thine pillows. And try not to die in your sleep, that would really suck.

[TV News] Cartoon Network Celebrates the Living Dead!

All day today Cartoon Network is dedicating their schedule to celebrate the station’s “Zombie Day.” I don’t care what any of you say about my lack of pubic hair or underdeveloped hormones, this is totally awesome. I love cartoons, and I love zombies, so combining the two into one single awesome entity is like a Y7-rated wet dream for me.

[Energy Drink Review] Sport Energy: Fruit Punch

sport fruit punch energy drink

Popping to tab on my can of the Fruit Punch flavor of Sport Energy, I noticed a powerfully sweet and absolutely appetizing aroma lingering from the can. Obviously artificial but not overpoweringly so, the sugary scent serves as a good sign of things to come. I was initially scared this would be another terrible drink that I regret pouring into my body, but things are looking up so far.

The first sip yielded a pleasant flavor, artificially flavored but sweetened with real sugar. It made be think of a carbonated Hawaiian Punch more than anything, which is to be expected. The carbonation level is a little high, but after the drink breathes for a few moments it subsides and becomes much more refreshing and drinkable. The only problem I really have with Sport is that it feels really heavy on my stomach, so I couldn’t imagine how it would work for someone trying to use it as a sports drink. Continue reading

[Doubleshot Movie Review] Paranormal Activity (Theatrical)

It isn’t too often that a low-budget independent film gets the amount of hype and sees the amount of success Paranormal Activity has found. After its premier and its initial positive impressions as well as a few shots of audience reactions the internet film whores began building a hype train that no one could stop. An online feature that allowed people around America to “Demand” the film be brought near them showed staggering results, and as a result the movie is now playing in theaters nation-wide.

Unable to resist the hype, both Zac Pritcher and John Rogers decide to spend their hard earned money on a trip to local cinema to see if it’s worth all it has been cut out to be. Continue reading

[Energy Review] Encaff Energy Stix (Black Cherry Flavor)

encaffenergystixEveryview has seen a pretty wide variety of Energy products. Energy drinks, energy shots, energy powders, energy patches, energy chocolate, energy mints, and now Energy Stix. The self-proclaimed Next Generation of Energy bares a lot in common with an Energy Powder drink mix, but it completely eliminates the need for mixing with any substance, and is instead consumed simply by pouring it directly onto your tongue. Think of it as a caffeinated, energizing Pixie Stick.

Sounds pretty neat, huh? Let’s see how this concept performs in execution.

When ripping the top off of my first packet, my nose was met with a sweet, though heavily artificial fruity sensation. Very reminiscent of Kool-Aid, the aroma quickly got my mouth to water. Still, scents can be very deceiving so I decided to proceed with caution. Continue reading

Her First White Castle

I’m a huge fan of any internet video containing the words “Her First” followed by the phrase “Insert explicit and offsetting sexual activity here.” I also love White Castle. Pairing these two interests together, I decided it was time to make my own “Her First Time” video, only without the blood, moaning and depletion of pride generally associated with this genre of film making.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present “Her First White Castle Slyder,” starring Zac Pritcher (me!) and Amanda Wallace.

[Casual Anniversary Celebration] The Day I Met Jeff Mangum

One year ago, this happened:

To clarify, I did not experience the happenings of the video above in person. I did however experience the same performer performing the same song in the same fashion in Bloomington, Indiana the following night. Unfortunately, the performance I witnessed first hand was never made readily available on any internet site I have come across. But enough semantics, it’s time to get into why the contents of this video are so important. Continue reading

[Game Review] LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias (WiiWare)

System: Wii Exclusive (WiiWare)
Developer: Frontier Developments
Publisher: Frontier Developments
Genre: Adventure

The first LostWinds is widely considered one of, if not the absolute best games the WiiWare has to offer. Featuring gorgeous visuals, creative controls, and an absolutely fresh premise, no one could argue that LostWinds was anything short of spectacular (besides those douchebags at GameSpot, that is). The sequel, dubbed Winter of the Melodias, takes everything that made the first adventure such a smashing success and somehow manages to add to it. Continue reading

The Top 5 Girls Costumes to Look For at a Halloween Party

I’m 24. I’ve been to a few Halloween parties in my day. And with each passing year, I notice myself becoming more and more aroused by the types of costumes girls wear at these parties. It’s less about coming up with something funny or eccentric as guys tend to lean towards, it’s more about finding an outfit than will maximize your cleavage to the point that you can treat any male at the party like movie reviewers treat an Uwe Boll film. So, on with the countdown!! Continue reading

[Game Review] Deadly Creatures (Wii)

DeadlyCreaturesSystem: Wii Exclusive
Developer: Rainbow Studios
Publisher: THQ
Genre: Beat ’em up/Action-Adventure

I hate bugs. All bugs. In some cases it doesn’t even have to be a bug to freak me out, simply possessing bug-like qualities will do the trick. Strangely enough, this powerful phobia is exactly what attracted me to Deadly Creatures. This Wii-exclusive Action title from Rainbow Studios that puts you in control of either a Tarantula or a Scorpion and lets you explore the world from a pint-sized perspective.

What better way to conquer a fear than to embody the very thing that horrifies you?
