John Grisham’s “The Innocent Man” Review

Posted on April 25, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

the_innocent_man_johngrisham Overview

John Grisham’s “The Innocent Man” tells the disturbing true story of gritty a small-town murder that ruins the lives of more than just the young girl who was killed. Witness the gripping reality of the flaws of our nation’s legal system and watch as a once healthy and popular man slips into hysteria as he lives out his life in prison for a crime he did not commit.

“The Innocent Man” tells a story of broken dreams, shattered lives, drug and alcohol addiction, gritty murder, and how pathetic our court system can be and how meaningless human lives are in the eyes of our peers. Innocent until proven guilty? That statement will be nothing more than the corpse of something you once believed after reading this shocking true story.

PackRat Paragraphs: Red Nintendo DS w/Mario Kart DS

Posted on April 24, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

I’m not sure how many of you remember, but back before downloadable games and cameras made their way into Nintendo’s handheld systems, there was the original Phat. It was the ugliest, fattest, bulkiest system since the Sega Game Gear, but Nintendo tried their hardest to raise its physical appeal by releasing it in a myriad of colors.

This red Nintendo DS was released as a limited edition system with Mario Kart DS packed right in back in November of 2005. Selling one right now wouldn’t turn a profit, but since it’s a limited edition handheld system that has already been discontinued, I assume it will be worth quite a decent amount of cash in a couple of years. It will definitely take some time, but I am pretty sure it will eventually be more than a worthwhile investment.

We Got Our Domain Name!

Posted on April 23, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

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

Posted on April 22, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

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 April 22, 2009 by Casual Clay Cunningham

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.

Art Style: AQUIA Review (DSiWare)

Posted on April 21, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Overview:

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.

(Review) Venom Energy: Death Adder

Posted on April 20, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Overview:

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.

SnaggStuff Mystery Box Opening

Posted on April 18, 2009 by Brandon Thompson

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

Posted on April 17, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

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 →
