20,000 Hits and Counting

That’s right everybody, this humble review blog that was started out of sheer boredom a mere 5 months ago has hit the 20,000 views benchmark. We started off getting 5 hits a day, maybe 15 if our friends went, but since then we’ve grown exponentially. We now average 260 viewers per day with well over 1,500 hits in a single week. It’s taken a lot of hard work, and I’m very proud of the fact that I’ve made something many people enjoy. Something that continues to grow. Something that is a part of me. Thank you guys so much for your support, this is a big deal to me so this is your only post for today, get over it. I’m gonna go celebrate instead!

Peace out, guys. Have a happy Saturday.

Review: Beefy 5-Layer Nachos

Overview:

beefy-5-layer-nachosLoyal readers know I’m a huge fan of Taco Bell’s value menu and with the new 5 and 7-Layer (review soon) nachos there’s even more reason to love value. The 5-Layer nachos are released to the menu as an enhanced version of the already available Triple Layer nachos, which consist of beans, cheese sauce, and red sauce. The 5-Layer nachos adds a three cheese blend of schredded cheese and a scoop of seasoned beef for only 89 cents.

But like all good Taco Bell items (I’m looking at you Volcano Taco and Triple Steak) this is only available for a limited time, so hurry up and read this review and then get your ass out there for some quality time with these nachos. They’ve only got a short time to live.

Review: The House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii)

Overview:

System: Wii Exclusive
Developer: Headstrong Games
Publisher: Sega
Genre: Arcade Shooter

thehouseofthedeadoverkill

Overkill is the newest entry in the famous House of the Dead light-gun arcade games and the second House of the Dead game to grace Nintendo’s little white box. The first was House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, a retread of, you guessed it, the second and third games in the series on one disc. Overkill is an all new offering from a new developer with a new style and attitude. But how does it stack up against its legendary arcade predecessors?

Review: Prey by Micheal Crichton

preyOverview:

From the back cover:

In the Nevada desert, an experiment has gone horribly wrong. A cloud of nanoparticles–micro-robots–has escaped from the laboratory. This cloud is self-sustaining and self-reproducing. It is intelligent and learns from experience. For all practical purposes, it is alive.
It has been programmed as a predator. It is evolving swiftly, becoming more deadly with each passing hour.
Every attempt to destroy it has failed.
And we are the prey.

So just how interesting can a book about clouds of little robots that kill people be? Very interesting, actually.

Review: Sonic Unleashed (Wii)

sonic-unleashed-wiiOverview:

System: Wii (also on: PS3, 360)
Developer: Sonic Team
Publisher: Sega
Genre: Platforming / Beat ’em up

Remember back in gaming’s golden age when Sonic was still relevant to gaming? Don’t you wish that Sega would just put Sonic back the way he’s supposed to be without all the fancy 3D and annoying extra characters? Well if so, this game is only half for you. Half? Yeah, half of the game is a great callback to the classic Sonic games of the past and half is an atrociously slow, unbearably bad beat ’em up. I’ll explain in the review.

Review: Java Monster Irish Blend

irish-java-monsterOverview:

The Irish blend of Java Monster is a unique breed. Like the formerly reviewed Russian, Irish is essentially meant to be a non-alcoholic recreation of your favorite foreign liquor with a shot of Java Monster for extra flavor. The Russian, for instance, was essentially a virgin White Russian, and the Irish blend is, obviously, a virgin Irish Creme. Think Bailey’s. Without the booze.

Awesome? Let’s find out.

Poll Results: What’s Your Favorite Monster Flavor?

Hey guys, it’s been a while since our first poll but I finally got another one up and just like that it’s time to take it back down again. I stopped the poll this morning when I saw we had 104 votes which is a pretty solid number and gives a pretty stable idea of how many people like what flavor of Monster Energy. So let’s see what we’ve got.

  • Original- 42 votes
  • Any of the Java Monsters- 19 votes
  • Khaos- 13 votes
  • Assault- 13 votes
  • M-80- 10 votes
  • Mixxd- 4 votes
  • Hitman- 3 votes

The original blend, unsurprisingly, led the pack by a large margin. What did surprise me, however, is that some people actually consider the horrible Mixxd flavor to be their favorite. These people obviously also fall into the category of sexual sadist, and love bleeding while making love. Sick bastards.

Anyway, a new post will be up soon enough. Maybe tomorrow maybe not. But until then, keep reading Everyview!
