Review: Power Horse Energy Drink

powerhorseenergydrinkOverview:

Power Horse Energy Drink is best known for its role in the 2008 assassin film Wanted. Like Brawndo, it’s another energy drink you know from a film but probably had no idea existed in reality, so I’m here to tell you all about it. And like Brawndo, you very likely won’t find it in stores but I’ve got the hook up. While it’s true the people behind Power Horse didn’t send me samples to review, my good buddy Mike Bricker recently ordered a case off the internet and was kind enough to give me a can for review. *Internet Hug*

So does Power Horse prove to be an energy drink worth your hard earned cash or is it just a worthless novelty drink from Austria? Yeah, Austria.

“Mario Kart Love Song” by Sam Hart

I just wanted to let all you guys know about this. It’s a great song by Sam Hart relating passionate and romantic relationships to the Mario Kart, the greatest casual racing title ever. The lyrics are brilliant and the melody is catchy, and it’s a really good song overall, I hope you guys enjoy it.

Thanks to the lovely Kim Boland, my own wonderful Princess Toadstool for showing this video to me. Smooches.

Retro-Review: Bonk’s Adventure (TurboGrafx-16)

bonksadventureOverview:

System: TurboGrafx-16 (Wii Virtual Console)
Publisher: Hudson Soft
Developer: Hudson Soft
Genre: Platformer

Remember the 16-bit wars? The Super Nintendo VS the Sega Genesis is what the majority of people think of, but there was one more contender that most have never even heard of. The TurboGrafx-16 from Hudson is that forgotten system of the 16-bit era. It failed for numerous reasons including the heavy price-tag, no Sonic or Mario, and all around lack of tons of triple-A titles. But while it is true that there weren’t very many standout games, the TurboGrafx-16 definitely had more than a couple of great titles worth your play time, and Bonk’s Adventure is easily the most notable. Let’s check it out, shall we?

Retro-Review: Dexter Freebish “A Life of Saturdays”

dexterfreebishlifeofsaturdays1Overview:

“Wait, Dexter Who? I’ve never heard of ’em, sorry.”

“A Life of Saturdays” was the 2000 debut album put out by the Austin, Texas band Dexter Freebish who won the 1999 John Lennon Songwriting Competition with their first hit single “Leaving Town” which was a top 40 hit on the radios and its video was played almost constantly on VH1 for a good while.

And if you’re wondering about the band’s name, they originally as The Twigs but was later changed to Dexter Freebish. The name itself was taken from a roller coaster ride at Astroworld theme park in Houston, Texas called Dexter Frebish’s Electric Roller Ride.

So is Dexter Freebish’ “A Life of Saturdays” an album you should pull from the dusty shelves at the back of your mind or is it a memory better off lost alongside the memories of your fourth grade bully making you throw up then force-feeding it back to you?

The Top Five: Reasons Bob from Bob’s Game Needs to Shut his Mouth

welcometobobsgame1For those of you who don’t know, Bob’s Game was a Nintendo DS game made by one person. He put over 5 years into developing what looked to be a promising and fun game with an awesome premise. It really is a marvel that he, by himself, created such an interesting title when most big developers can’t get anywhere near that. But he went about the development process all wrong and Nintendo was forced to turn him away. Which could’ve been resolved eventually if he didn’t go all Axl Rose (insane) on the world and throw a series of fits and post countless hate articles on his blog. Bob, here’s why you should shut your mouth.

Review: Health Energy Potion

health-energy-potionOverview:

Health Potion is from the same company that brought you Mana, the original Energy Shot meant to look like it came straight out of a video game, which is an idea I love. Combining two of the greatest inventions of all time into one is always a good idea. Well, almost. Anyway, Health Potion uses a unique blend of herbs and ditches the overused Berry or Citrus flavors often found in energy shots for a Cinnamon Apple taste.

Oh, and it replenishes 160 HP.

Review: Grande Quesadilla

Overview:

tacobell-grande-quesadillaWho doesn’t love Taco Bell’s Quesadillas? Delicious cheese melted over your choice of juicy chicken or marinated steak, topped with a deliciously spicy sauce that perfectly compliments the already wonderfully seasoned delicacy and folded in a warm, tender tortilla. Delicious. And when something tickles your fancy, it’s never bad to have a bigger version. Right? Right.

Unless we’re talking about Taco Bell’s Grande Quesadilla. It’s kind of sad how something that should, in proper accordance with the laws of physics, be far superior when you add mass. However, for whatever stupid reason Taco Bell decided to change the it’s stellar Quesadilla formula when upgrading to a bigger size. I’ll explain more in the review.
