PackRat Paragraphs: Collectible Necrid Figure

Soul Calibur 2’s special fighter Necrid was designed by Spawn creator Todd McFarlane and his moves were all stolen from other fighters. Needless to say, this threw the balance off horribly and pissed the hardcore Soul Calibur veterans off to no end since any n00b could just pick him and have all of the best moves in one package. And guess who I always played as. Damn straight, Necrid all the way. I used to love hearing my friends whine when I kicked their ass blindfolded with this… thing.

Anyway, that has nothing to do with this article. above is a collectible McFarlane Toys Necrid figure I picked up near the launch of Soul Calibur II for $7.99. It may not be in the best condition, but I’ve seen the same in worse condition going for about $60 at Cash n’ Pawn. Turn to eBay, however, and you’ll see these are worth relatively little for now. But just you wait! It’ll be worth some cash before I die, I’ll bet.

Review: eRev Obscene Energy

eRev Obscene EnergyOverview:

eRev Obscene Energy is a smaller known supplement made by an oil company. Yeah, I’m not kidding. Now I’ve had some bad experiences with unknown brands of beverages, like Gazzu. I’ve also had some rather enjoyable supplements attained through taking risks, namely with Venom. So is eRev a horrible concoction or a wonderful discovery?

Straight from the can:

WARNING! This can contains enough energy to raise your intensity to a whole new level! When you’re out of fuel and need a quick fillup, open a can of eREV Obscene Energy Drink. The high-octaine combination of taurine and vitamin B12 will jumpstart your engine into hyperdrive. Then, the harcore driving buzz will take you from empty to extreme in no time. Ask yourself this first:

Can you handle the rush? Continue reading

Review: Land of the Dead (2005)

Land of the DeadOverview:

George A. Romero has long been the reigning zombie movie king, ever since his classic film Night of the Living Dead. I recently reviewed Zack Snyder’s remake of Romero’s Dawn of the Dead and fell in love with it. Does George still reign as king of the zombies in the modern movie market?

Review:

Story:
Land of the Dead is, unlike Dawn of the Dead, a by-the-books zombie flick. The undead are plentiful, slow and stupid. But there’s a catch! In the surroundings of the fortified city where survivors of the zombie apocalypse reside the zombies have begun to show signs of evolution. They are learning! Well, more like remembering. They are relearning how to communicate and even operate in more intelligent manners. Couple that with their insatiable hunger for human flesh and you’ve got yourself a mess. Continue reading

Retro-Review: Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!! (NES)

punch out nes

Overview:

Who doesn’t love Punch Out? I don’t think I know a single person. When Punch Out was first released it was widely regarded as the single best and most innovative boxing game available. Period. Here we are, over 20 years later and it’s still one of the funnest games out there. If you’ve never played Punch Out, you can download it on the Wii’s Virtual Console for 5 bucks and score yourself endless fun. Continue reading

Coming in December

This December we are going to be some busy bloggers. First on the menu is a new award we are granting to only the most skilled, talented and deserving of Indie bands called, duh, Everyview’s Indie Band of the Month Award! The first band to win this coveted award will be revealed the first day of December, so check back for that.

We are also going to make some Holiday Shopper’s Guides. Everything from gifts for gamers, energy drink fanatics/addicts, the tobacco lover, the geek, the musician, and even for the old man down the street will be covered in our shopper’s guides. Excited? I know.

Anyway, that was just a quick update since I don’t feel like working on the Land of the Dead review that’s almost a month overdo.

Review: Gazzu Energy

Overview:

Gazzu is a strange product. I really think the people who made this were trippin out on something. Hard. Why do I say this? Check out what they have as their product description on the back our the can:

This Gazzu is something really different. They tell me that it’s a guarded secret formula used to make it, and the word it it’s not from Earth. I know this guy, who is connected, and he told me the secret ingredient is like moon dust! They figured out how to grow it in these labs, like crystals. Man, this stuff is crazy, it tastes better than any energy drink I’ve ever had.

Awesome energy and taste that’s like ….. cosmic. It’s Gazzu!! Hey, gimme a G.

Moon dust? Really? Hmm.
