[Energy Drink Review] Sport Energy: Mango Cream

Posted on October 28, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

I was digging through my fridge in an attempt to find something to help wake me up and quench my thirst when I stumbled upon the Mango Cream flavor of Sport Energy. I didn’t even know I had this, but based on the Fruit Punch flavor I reviewed last week I figured it was my safest bet for a decent energy drink.

I opened the can and lifted the vent up to my nose to get a feel for what I was about to drink. I was met with a soft scent which consisted primarily of a soft cream aroma on accompanying a sweet, fruity mango twist. The aroma was obviously artificial, but didn’t have any disgusting chemical burn. It was also surprisingly subtle, and I even had to sniff it a few times to get a proper impression.

[The Everyview Update] 10/25/2009

Posted on October 25, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

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!

Posted on October 24, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

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.

Follow this link to see the scheduled listing for the rest of the day, and have a happy Zombie Day!

[Energy Drink Review] Sport Energy: Fruit Punch

Posted on October 24, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

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 →

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

Posted on October 23, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Everyview 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

Posted on October 22, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

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.

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

Posted on October 21, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

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 →

[Game Review] Deadly Creatures (Wii)

Posted on October 19, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

System: 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?

[The Everyview Update] 10/17/2009

Posted on October 18, 2009 by XAQuiri Daiquiri

Short list of updates this week, and nothing really worth talking about. We finally got Google Ads running on the site again, so make sure you click them whenever you get the chance to help support us. I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but we also started using the Amazon Affiliates program, and therefore put links at the bottom of some reviews that direct you to Amazon so you can buy the product we reviewed if you want.

Some upcoming reviews include Mini Chill Relaxation Shots, Encaff Energy Stix, Paranormal Activity, and a Wii game called Deadly Creatures. Of course, those are just what we have planned, and there are many more reviews that we’ll do this week, but you can look forward to those for sure.

That about wraps things up, have an excellent Sunday everyone, see you tomorrow. And as always, keep reading Everyview!
