[Video Game Review] Asphalt 4: Elite Racing (DSiWare)

Posted on August 21, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Overview:

System: Nintendo DSi (Also on iPhone)
Developer: Gameloft
Publisher: Gameloft
Genre: Racing

There are very few good realistic DS racers out there, and there are even less enjoyable titles available for download on Nintendo’s DSiWare service, so what are the odds that a great racing game would come along and be available exclusively via download? Not very good. Stepping up to the plate to take on this seemingly impossible task is Gameloft and a dual screen rendition of their Asphalt 4, originally released on the iPhone.

Can this downloadable racing title really stack up against full-retail game card releases, or is this yet another forgettable title in the DSiWare’s lineup of shovelware? Continue reading →

[Food News] Japanese McDonald’s Introduces the Mega-Egg

Posted on August 21, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

And it is absolutely ridiculous.

Though it also looks delicious. And for those of you who scoff at the idea of an egg on a burger, give it a shot. It is absolutely delicious.

[Video Game News] Guild Wars 2 Trailer

Posted on August 20, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Despite the fact that I never really got into the first Guild Wars, this trailer has me genuinely excited for the MMO sequel. It shows off the new locations, some pretty impressive graphics, in-game footage, and five races including Humans, Norns, Asuras, Charrs, and Silvarians joining forces to fight a malicious dragon foe named Zhaitian.

I can’t say Guild Wars 2 is going to be a day one purchase or anything, but it definitely earned a spot on my radar.

[Energy Drink Review] Turn Left

Posted on August 19, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Overview:

Energy drinks are supposed to make you move fast. Cars move fast. Especially race cars. Race cars usually only turn left. Get it? That is where this drink got it’s name. But if you think that’s stupid, then you should hear the drink’s slogan: “Turn Left Twice and Turn Your Day Around.” Continue reading →

[Book Review] Planet Simpson by Chris Turner

Posted on August 18, 2009 by Casual Clay Cunningham

Overview:

A few weeks ago I decided to quit writing for this site for the simple reason that nobody reads my reviews. After awhile, the idea of continuing to add to the vapid wasteland that is my Everyview archive just seemed exhaustive and pointless.

Well, to combat my resignation, my fearless leader (and high school sophomore) of a site administrator, bribed me with a book entitled Planet Simpson: How A Cartoon Masterpiece Defined A Generation, chronicling the social impact The Simpsons, my favorite TV show, has had on the world. It’s moments like this that define character, and what is now clear about me is this: buy me a book you find used for $5 at Big Lots, and I will essentially do whatever the fuck you ask of me, including writing a review for a five-year-old book that holds no relevance (the review, not the book) anymore. But as I already alluded to, who’s gonna read it?

Well, I guess I can now declare my brief (and unnoticed) hiatus over, as I feel compelled to share my feelings of this fascinating read. So in the words of former President Ike Eisenhower: “Let’s get biz-zay!” Continue reading →

[Concert Review] TOOL: Live at Lollapalooza ’09

Posted on August 17, 2009 by Andrew Majors

Overview:

I am now a man.

Review:

Each of us has music that takes us back to certain points in our lives, and that’s a unique trait of music. You remember hearing things at certain moments you deem to be important, and you make a mental note of those things, and those songs always hold a special place in your heart. Some of us even have these relationships with entire albums, certain bands. One of these bands, for me, is Tool. Continue reading →

[The Everyview Update] 08/16/09

Posted on August 16, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Man, I’ve been lazy! For the first time since April 2 I actually let a day go by without having a single post. Can’t blame my contributors though, they’ve got reviews ready to go. I’m just too stuck up to publish them in a timely and responsible manner. Anyway, I was working early shifts all week and was too drained to really write anything other than energy drink reviews. Go figure. I’m back on a regular work schedule now, so everything should be back to normal soon.

In the meantime, here are some posts by other fantastic sites. Go check them out!

[Video Game Review] NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits (WiiWare)

Posted on August 15, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Overview:

System: Wii
Developer: Over the Top Games
Publisher: Over the Top Games
Genre: Platformer

NyxQuest started life out as Icarian, and since the first few screenshots and tidbits of information were revealed Wii gamers have been keeping an eye on this unique platformer. It was originally rumored to be heavily influenced by the classic NES game Kid Icarus by IGN, but now that they game is finally here it’s plain to see they were very wrong. Just as they always are about anything Kid Icarus related.

Anyway, NyxQuest: Kindred spirits is finally here. Is it worth your hard earned Wii points, or is it just another piece of dumpsterware being shovelled onto the system? Continue reading →

[Energy Drink Review] Stacker 2 YJ Stinger: Enraged Raspberry

Posted on August 14, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Overview:

This has been sitting in my fridge for about three weeks now, and I’m still pretty reluctant to try it. I bought this at the same time as Sinful Citrus, and have been terrified to open the can ever since. But I’ve now got about 20 energy drinks sitting on my floor just waiting to be reviewed, so I figured I would go ahead and get this one out of the way. Continue reading →

[Energy Drink Review] G Pure Energy: Lulo Lime (Zero Calories)

Posted on August 13, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Overview:

Some of the greatest things you’ll ever do in your life are natural. Nudity is the first thing that comes to my mind, but some people think that having a natural and healthy diet and lifestyle can be the most rewarding thing out there. They’ve obviously never ran through the public park naked.

So for those of you who are afraid to tear off your boxers and show off what your momma (or God, depending on your religious views) gave you, there are drinks like G Pure Energy, a zero calorie energy drink that is formulated to give you a kick in the pants (unless you don’t wear pants, like myself) without the diabetes.

Can G Pure Energy: Lulo Lime really feel more natural than nudity? No, but at least it won’t get you arrested. Continue reading →
