[Spotted!] The Snuggie 2
I recently attended a festival celebration known as The Covered Bridge Festival. Even if you’ve never been to this celebration in particular, you know how these festivals work. Vendors set up shop and deal not only honest home made crafts, but they also peddle various pirated, stolen, or bootlegged goods to unsuspecting attendees.
I have a feeling that’s what is going on here. A shady-looking gentlemen is sitting behind a stand selling the Snuggie 2. I didn’t get any closer than I needed for a decent picture, as I was afraid the guy would talk me into buying six or seven of these, but I’m pretty sure it is the exact same thing as everyone’s favorite backwards bath robe, maybe with a few alterations made. Sorry about the quality, I didn’t take my camera so I had to use my BlackBerry.

[Tech Review] Energizer Flat Panel Wii Remote Induction Charger
The Wii has more than its fair share of charging solutions available. Countless products from different manufacturers that all perform the same tasks similarly and in almost identical fashion makes it easy to get lost when shopping for a decent controller charger. There have been many attempts at making excellent chargers, and only few have succeeded. Continue reading

You know what really sucks? Cancer, war, tooth decay, crooked cops, murderers, Rush Limbaugh, rapists, preteen pregnancy, socks with holes in them, underwear that ride high, pollution, getting stung by bees, stubbing your toe, losing stuff, homework, flat tires, having an owl run into your face, your grandma dying, terrorists, getting hit by a car, AIDS, accidentally killing that hooker in Taiwan, underage kids who smoke, drug-induced deaths, dropping your keys in human feces, gaining weight, and spontaneous combustion.

[Game Review] Dead Space Extraction (Wii)
System: Wii (Exclusive)
Developer: Visceral/Eurocom
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Genre: Rail Shooter
I never played the original Dead Space on 360/PS3. It’s not that had no interest in the game, because I definitely did. I drooled at tons of screenshots, lustfully watched plenty of gameplay footage, and read a good amount of reviews. Everything I saw or read about the game definitely tickled my fancy, but for some reason I just never bought or rented it.
So when Dead Space Extraction, the Wii-Exclusive prequel, was announced I had very little interest in the game. Once it was revealed that the title would serve as a spooky and atmospheric On Rails Shooter, my ears perked up and I began developing an interest while the majority of Wii gamers scoffed at the Light Gun Style gameplay, calling it inferior and assuming it would be boring.
Wrong. Continue reading
[Doubleshot Movie Review] Zombieland (Theatrical)
In this Doubleshot Review, Everyview EIC Zac Pritcher and newcomer Brandon Majors (who is not related to Andrew) went on a romantic date to catch the highly anticipated Zombedy film Zombieland in theaters. Popcorn, soda pop, and blue slushies in-hand, the boys prepared for what they hoped would be the first successful mainstream zombie-comedy since Shaun of the Dead.
Pro tip: It blows Shaun of the Dead out of the bloody, corpse-ridden water. Continue reading
[Food Review] The Big Hardee From Hardee’s
When I reviewed the ho-hum Fried Bologna Biscuit from Hardee’s, I talked a little bit about a sandwich called the Big Carl. For those of you who don’t know, a chain of burger joints called Carl’s Jr. is owned by the same company behind Hardee’s. It was Carl’s that first revealed a sandwich called the Big Carl, whose major selling point was the inclusion of more meat and more cheese than a Big Mac from McDonald’s, only for less money.
Burger lovers without access to a Carl’s Jr. can rejoice, because Hardee’s is finally offering a similar burger, dubbed the Big Hardee. There are some key differences to the two burgers, such as the Big Hardee offering three patties of meat where the Big Carl provides eaters with two slightly larger patties. Continue reading
[The Everyview Update] 10/04/09: Happy Fall!
Let me start off by apologizing for this edition of Everyview Update being so later (I’m actually writing it on the morning of the 5th), but like all responsible people I have an excuse. Last night Brandon Majors and I went on an Everyview date to the movie theater to catch Zombieland! By the time I got back I was too busy quoting Woody Harrelson to care about anything else, which is completely understandable.
That brings me to my next two points. First off, we got two new writers! John Rogers and Brandon Majors will now be writing for you guys here on the site, and I hope you like what they bring to the table. Along those same lines, we also got a Guest Review for the premiere of Stargate Universe from the very talented Erin Brooks.
My next point. Now that it’s finally Fall, we are going to start publishing some Halloween-themed reviews and articles. These will range from Top Five lists to reviews for scary movies and games and everything in between! We’ve got a lot planned, and I hope you enjoy the Autumn Content!
Enough jabber, onto the awards! The Weekly Awards are handed out to five very deserving blogs every week, so make sure you check them all out because they are all fantastic and more than worth your time.
- The “Quick, Free Stuff!” Award goes to Snack Snoop! They’re giving away a fancy reusable bag to the reader with the best snack recipe.
- The “Best New Feature” Award goes to SuperPhillip Central for the new feature called Rank Up! The premier installment lists the eight Mega Man X games from worst to best.
- The “Fanciest Pants” Award goes to The Impulsive Buy for their review of Goya Cola Champagne!
- The “Holy Shit, Caffeinated Beef Jerky?” Award goes to EDJunkie for the review of Perky Jerky! According to that review, the caffeinated beef jerky is actually really good.
- The “Deep Fried Breakfast Sammich” Award goes to Freezer Burns for the video review of a Jimmy Dean’s Breakfast Sandwich, deep fried in Budweiser American Ale.
Five Nintendo DS Games Everyone Should Own
Now that the Nintendo DSi is available, gamers everywhere are picking up their first dual screen gaming system and diving into the wonderful world of the Nintendo DS. With an overwhelmingly huge library of games, however, it’s easy for gamers to get lost when trying to pick out the right titles.
Below are five titles that everyone with a DS, any model, should own. Keep in mind the games on this list are five of the games that I believe every gamer with a DS should own, not a list of the five best DS games. If you have a different selection of games, feel free to call me an idiot, or, preferably, leave your games of choice in the comments section! Continue reading
[Energy Drink News] Monster Preparing to Launch New Site, Preview it Now!
I just got an email from the folks over at Monster Energy with information about their new site. Here’s a snippet from said email:
Listen up Monster people! We’ve got some exciting news that you’re gonna want to hear!
The MonsterEnergy.com site is getting ready to launch with its new kickass redesign and YOU get first crack at this bad boy!
The new site is going to blow you away with all these new community features that will allow you to post pics, watch athlete videos, comment on things, and rate what you think is hot or not. You’ll find everything you ever needed to know on your favorite X-athletes, rockin’ bands, smokin’ hot Monster girls, and the coolest events around town.
To go with the new awesome site though, you’ll need a new MonsterEnergy.com username and password to match. Unfortunately your existing username and password will not access the new site. But, now would be a good-time as any to say good-bye to NiceGuy123 and say hello to MonsterBallz311!
The new site actually looks pretty good. There is also a mixology section that teaches you how to make alcoholic drinks like Skinny Bitch, Cherry Popper, and Monster Orgasm. I think they should also make recipes for drinks called Date Rape, Murder Rape, and just plain Rape.
Anyway, check out a preview of the new site right here.
