[Food Review] Crush Pound Cake

Overview:

crush-pound-cakePound cakes are possibly the most useful food item on the face of this planet. They can be used as paper weights, door stops, kids like to throw them at passing trains, mobsters tie them to the feet of disloyal clients before dropping them into the nearest river, and starving homeless people bash pizza delivery boys over the head with them to get some chow. But aside from these extremely practical uses, the pound cakes themselves can actually be eaten and are honestly quite delicious despite weighing as much as a morbidly obese hamster.

[Site Updates] Upload Your Own Photo, Working on New Community Features

Ever notice those sexy silhouettes that sit next the the vast majority of comments posted on the site? Ever spent more than 3 minutes looking for a way to upload your own custom photo but can’t seem to find it? That’s because it’s not there.

But now it is! Registered users now have the ability to upload pictures from the Profile section of their Everyview Dashboard, meaning there will hopefully be less silhouettes and more naked lady readers.

On top of that, we are really wanting to build a community and get you guys active in comments and visiting the site in general. To do this I am working on some new community features that could be ready soon, in a while, or never. Anyway, I’m talking about a forum and some detailed user profiles, stuff like that. But so far I’ve made zilch progress, so I’m not sure when you’re going to get to use these features.

And as always, keep reading Everyview!

[Game News] Tetris Turns 25 Today

tetris-original25 years ago, Russia introduced the world to its greatest cultural achievement, Tetris. The original falling-block puzzle game Tetris has “inspired” thousands of knock-offs and has appeared on nearly every device ever created. If it has buttons, it can play Tetris. If it can play Tetris, is has Tetris. Continue reading

An Ode to Mr. Corey

I know writing personal articles about people is usually prohibited on the site, but I thought it would be okay to make an exception for who is quite possibly one of the greatest men to walk this planet. And since I run this site, who’s going to tell me I can’t?

I just received word from regular reader Brandon Majors that Mr. George Corey is retiring from his position as the Electronics Teacher at Terre Haute North Vigo High School. This news is both happy and sad at the same time. Happy because he deserves his retirement more than any other old fart out there, yet sad because generations of knowledge hungry brats will never have the chance to know him.

[Food Review] Toblerone Swiss Chocolate Bar

toblerone-boxOverview:

Toblerone is a very unique candy bar. It is made from Swiss milk chocolate and filled with almond nougat and honey and comes in a triangular prism packaging to accommodate the bar’s creative triangle shape, which is actually the thing that drove me to try the strange candy in the first place. That and the name, which is apparently a play on the words Tobler, the candy bar’s inventor, and Torrone, the Latin word for honey and almond nougat. Continue reading

[Movie Review] Up (Theatrical)

up-movieOverview:

Pixar just won’t stop. Every summer, it seems, they keep making movies that look like children’s movies but in the end turn out being something far more. Last summer they showed the world Wall-E, a seemingly cute and innocent movie about robots in love, but under the surface lied a tragic tale of our world being destroyed at the hands of global warming, heartbreak, betrayal, and perhaps the easiest to relate to, obesity.

[Site Update] New Banner, New Writer, We’re on a PodCast, and Some Minor Site Facelifts

Sorry for anyone looking for a surprise, that title pretty much gave everything away.

Anyway, some of you may have noticed the new banner floating over your favorite website. Some of you may have noticed that it is pretty lame, plain, and boring. Some may have noticed the zombies. But everyone should know that it is simply a temporary place-holder until we can get a decent prize secured for a “Make Us a Good Banner” contest.

And anyone who has paid attention throughout the past few days may have noticed a review of Common’s “Universal Mind Control” album from a mysterious writer named Thomas Campbell. He’s not actually that mysterious at all, really, but I never made him do an intro post so you just don’t know who he is. He’ll be reviewing and posting here on Everyview from now on and has a specialty in food and music as he used to be a chef and is currently a D.J.

This one mainly goes out to anyone from Everyview’s home town of Terre Haute, Indiana. We are the latest act to be abducted onto Terre Haute’s premiere podcast called “It Came From the Haute.” We’ll be doing a 2-minute segment on a schedule that has yet to be decided, but we’ll keep you posted on how things proceed from here.

Last but not least I am doing some minor site renovations. You may notice the new “(more…)” buttons at the end of most posts and the fact that images are no longer uniform and boring on the main page. But with every project comes a mess, so keep your eyes out for anything that seems funky and report it to me through our Contact page.

Thanks guys, and as always, keep reading Everyview!

[Tech News] PSP Go Revealed

psp-goThanks to a recently leaked episode of Qore, Sony’s own Monthly Video Game Program, the world now knows that the long-rumored PSP Go is a real piece of tech and it’s on its way. No one is really sure why this happened, but the episode went live to feature the series’ hostess speaking with SCEA Director of Hardware John Koller about Sony’s newest handheld system.

Within the leaked episode is also talk of a new PSP Metal Gear, Gran Turismo, and a first look at the previously announced LittleBigPlanet Portable. I’m thinking this covers just about all of the big news they had planned for the portable market at E3. Good job, Sony. Continue reading
