Review: …Lost Energy Drink

Posted on by

lostenergy1Overview:

Lost Enterprises is actually a surf board company, which may surprise some since they’ve churned out several stellar drinks. But don’t be fooled my friends, Lost didn’t achieve its reputation of producing delicious energy drinks on its own. The folks over at Monster were actually the ones who concocted this killer series of drinks, which easily explains everything from the original flavor and sensational aroma to the powerful kick.

Straight from the can:

From the garages of San Clemente in Southern California, where you can surf, skate and snowboard in the same day, came …Lost Enterprises. Lost grew into a super mega multi-conglomerate corporation and in our pathological obsession of global domination, we decided to formulate a drink to hypnotize the minds of the masses… Actually, that’s not true. If you’re gonna surf, skate and snowboard all in the same day, you’ll need some energy to go out and party afterwards. Most energy drinks suck, so we had the crew at MONSTER make us one that actually works, tastes good and mixes even better. …Lost Energy Drink, a bad influence from …Lost Enterprises.

March ’09 Indie Band of the Month: Cuba

Posted on by

Cuba can be one of two things. The first is a country with missiles and cigars. The second, which is the topic of this post, is a great indie band that take influence from a very wide variety of sources ranging from Johnny Cash to Bright Eyes. And Wes Anderson movies.

Cuba is March’s Indie Band of the Month and they deserve it. Unlike featured bands of the past, Cuba can’t be put into any single genre. They do everything from funk to rock to folk, if it is an established genre then chances are these boys have played around with it, and that is exactly what makes them the perfect choice for the Everyview Indie Band of the Month Award.

Review: Mocha Starbucks DoubleShot Energy+Coffee

The following review is the work of Ryan, site administrator over at GrubGrade.com. This entry was the winner in our Starbucks Contest, so make sure you congratulate him and check out his site!

Overview:

I’ll admit, I’m not much of a coffee drinker or an energy drink kind of person.  I have dabbled from time to time but I’m definitely no expert.  I find that energy drinks that I’ve had in the past do help in boosting my alertness but I’ve never been a fan of the taste.  I feel as though energy drinks place me in some alternate universe where I’m Mega Man….half machine, half boy and I’m fueling up my power cells in order to defeat Dr. Wiley.  If you’re confused, please forgive my geeky early-1990’s Nintendo mascot references.  The bottom line is this, I am rarely compelled enough to try cold coffee or energy drinks.  I felt that this Everyview/Starbucks contest was a good chance for me to get out of my box and try something new.  The Starbucks DoubleShot Energy+Coffee drink may make me a believer in the endless array of energy drinks that occupy my local convenient store fridges.  I stayed up late and woke up early to put this drink to the test.

What Current Generation Consoles do Most Everyview Readers Own?

It’s finally time to put the stops on our most recent poll. The question this time was “What Current Gen Gaming System do You Currently Own?” Nothing too surprising, but here they are.

  1. Nintendo Wii (26 votes)
  2. Xbox 360 (24 v0tes)
  3. Playstation 3 (15 votes)
  4. None, I’m Poor (7 votes)
  5. None, Gaming is for Kiddies (1 vote)

I honestly expected the 360 to finish in the lead with the Wii in a close second, that was the only real surprise. The results from this poll are going to be used to know which video game reviews will be most helpful to you guys, so thanks to the few of you (only 73 in all) who voted. And as always, keep reading Everyview!

Hey guys, just stopping by to remind everyone that our Starbucks Contest comes to an end at midnight tomorrow so get out there and grab a can of Mocha Starbucks DoubleShot Energy+Coffee, love it, write a review, send it in, and WIN! If you’re good, that is.

If you need a refresher, use the link above or the picture on the top of the left sidebar to get to the rules page. Make sure you follow those rules. I’ve had to disqualify a lot of people for thinking they can sneak in cheap shots trying to win the totally awesome prize, but it isn’t going to work.

Anyway, good luck guys, I can’t way to see what some of you come up with! And as always, keep reading Everyview!

Wii Finally has a Storage Solution!

nintendowiiThat’s right all you fellow Wiiners, the days of cleaning out your Wiifridgerator have finally come to an end! Nintendo has, at last, released a System Update Patch that allows users to download games directly to an SD Card and play them directly off of that card. In other words, expandable memory is finally here. Instead of being stuck to the Wii’s atrociously tiny and laughably small amount of internal memory, you are now allowed to utilize plenty of storage space.

But as excited as I am, I’m off to bed. I’ll talk more about this a little bit later, but for now you should all rejoice and celebrate with hot bread and fresh wine! And as always, keep reading Everyview!
