[The Everyview Update] 12/6/09

I’m tired.

We got a new writer. Phil. He will be doing some video game articles and reviews whenever he isn’t busy running his own site, SuperPhillip Central. We’re hoping to have him join forces with us full time and become our Games Editor, so we’ll see how that turns out in the end.

Other than that, it’s December. Christmas is coming up, as are the other holidays (forgive me for not being culturally educated on Catholic and Hispanic traditions, amongst others), and that means one thing. PRESENTS! I’ll be asking everyone for cash this year so I can afford this HD camcorder I’ve had my eye on for a while. Video reviews soon? We’re probably way too lazy, but we do agree that it is a good idea.

I’m going to bed.

[Energy Drink Review] Ace Lo-Cal

ace_lo cal

The thing about Ace Lo-Cal that initially caught my eye was the horrible can. Ridden with bullet holes, World War II plane decorations, playing cards, and a pinup model from somewhere in 1922 riding a bomb, this is one of the most awful cans I’ve ever seen.

But it’s also completely bad ass! Seriously, there’s a cowgirl riding a bomb.

Straight from the can:

It’s a dog fight out there! To win, you need to stay sharp.

Crack open an Ace Energy for an immediate physical and mental lift. Ace will get you flying high and keep you in control.

Throw down an ace!

Man, this is going to be terrible! Continue reading

[Food Review] Bob Evans Sausage, Egg and Cheese Microwavable Homestyle Breakfast Burritos

bobevansmicrowaveburritoBreakfast Burritos have been my favorite morning meal for as long as I can remember. There is just something comforting about having all of the essential breakfast foods wrapped into a soft tortilla shell.

While I definitely prefer making my own, due to the creative and artistic freedom presented by the nature of the burrito, there are times when I just don’t feel like putting the effort into making one, nor do I possess the initiative required to drive to Sonic or Hardee’s. That’s why I recently picked up these microwavable Sausage, Egg and Cheese burritos from Bob Evans. Continue reading

[The Everyview Update] 11/29/09

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and many of us are just now recovering from turkey overdose, but we have been hard at work here at Everyview. For a while we’ve been planning a series of Holiday Buyer’s Guides to help our readers make it through this holiday shopping rush. We’ve already published seven different guides, and we still aren’t done! Go ahead and browse through the ones we’ve already done, and make sure you keep checking back every day for the remaining entries into our series of 2009 Holiday Buyer’s Guides.

Aside from that, this week we are going to be publishing a Top 10 Albums list. It isn’t a definitive “best albums” list, but instead Troy from edjunkie.com and each member of the Everyview staff picked the albums they would take along to a safehold in the event of a Zombie apocalypse. Get psyched.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey guys, I hope everyone has been having a spectacular Thanksgiving day. I am beyond stuffed, as is the case with every year. I ate way too much, vomited, had desert, vomited, vomited, had another plate of food, and vomited again. And I don’t regret it a single bit.

Get back to your families and friends, Everyviewers, and enjoy the rest of your holiday!

[Energy News] Mini Chill Giveaway at Minichill.com!

A while back I reviewed an anti-energy shot called Mini Chill, a product that helped you cool off, focus, and relax instead of hyping you up with energy.

Well then, this is your lucky day. The folks over at Minichill.com are hosting a contest in which you will have the chance to win a not only an entire case of Mini Chill, but also a $50 gift card for you to spend on whatever you want! For a full list of rules, head on over to Minichill.com.

[Food Review] Five Guys Burgers and Fries

It can be hard to find a good burger. I don’t mean a tasty burger. I don’t mean a cheap burger. I mean a delicious, juicy, fully satisfying burger topped with plenty of crisp veggies and stuffed between a flavorful bun. Burgers like that are hard to come by. Unless, of course, you live anywhere near a Five Guys restaurant.

I had originally heard about Five Guys from a post on Grub Grade and my mind was clouded with nothing but thoughts of the delicious-looking burgers ever since. I had finally gotten my chance to satisfy my insane hunger for Five Guys during a trip to Cincinnati to see Marcy Playground. In all honesty, words can hardly describe how delicious the meal was, so I’ve included a few pictures to help me out a little. Continue reading
