[The Everyview Update] What Did You Get For Xmas?

Ah, Christmas. Celebrating yon virgin Mary and sweet Baby Jesus. A time when people come together to show love and caring. The only day of the year when you get to give gifts to those near your heart. Most important, you get awesome presents!

Really whatever holiday you celebrate, I think you’ll agree that the winter holiday season is the best time of the year. Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Krampus, Bodhi, or Festivus, it doesn’t matter. Actually, a lot of those holidays don’t involve presents at all…

Anyway, for this edition of The Everyview Update, we want to know what you guys got from good ol’ Santy Claus or the Magical Hanukkah Fairy or whatever it’s called.

[The Everyview Update] 12/20/09

Hey guys. Not too much to report on this week. You may notice a bit of a dip in reviews being published for the next few days. Christmas is right around the corner and we’re all busy making plans, shopping, and making any last minute addition to our list for Santa.

There are some changes happening to the site. Nothing big, but a few widget changes here and there. There are also some problems popping up due to code changes and such. If you notice any bugs feel free to us our email link at the bottom of the sidebar to let us know, as it would be greatly appreciated!

Have a very Merry Christmas everyone. I’ll see you before the New Year.

[Energy Drink Review] Slurm

Futurama is one of my favorite shows of all time, and it is easily one of the best television programs to hit the tube in recent years. The character, setting, concept, and execution all put this show far above most others during its much too short four season lifetime, after which it was criminally canceled by the selfish assholes at Fox. I’ll never forgive them.

In the television show, Slurm is the greatest canned beverage of the year 3000. Seemingly perfect in every way, there isn’t a single person who dislikes it. That is, of course, until it is discovered that Slurm consists purely and entirely of a giant worm’s anus discharge. Even after this discovery, main character Fry simply cannot get enough of the delightful green liquid. It’s that good.

I don’t know what kind of worm’s ass they are sucking this real life Slurm out of, but it tastes just how I’d expect a worm’s anus slime to taste. Continue reading

The Worst Entertainment Pieces of the Decade

After the smashing success (by which I mean, slightly less than appalling failure) of my Top Movies of the Decade List, I felt compelled to compile a list that goes in the exact opposite direction. But while it’s nice to play dress up on this site, I am hardly a professional critic. Throw in being poor, and it becomes increasingly difficult for me to accumulate enough items in various entertainment mediums to compile an entire list of pieces I hate in each particular category.

Luckily, monetary issues haven’t prevented me from encountering a great deal of things I detest from all aspects of entertainment. So at the risk of robbing the world of my amusing and articulate observations, I have decided to mash all my hatred into one big, self-indulgent piece. With that, I present to you my list chronicling the most malodorous individual pieces of excrement which have flowed from the bowels of the entertainment industry over the past ten years.

[The Everyview Update] 12/13/09

Last week I was shopping for Xmas gifts for friends and family and was approached by a young foreign woman selling manicure kits. After asking for a second of my time, she took me by the thumb and began to polish it with some magic rectangle that made my nail very shiny, all while talking to me about the fantastic deal she was going to give me on these perfect holiday gifts.

I’m not a sucker. I don’t waste money on overpriced novelties or fall for fraudulent salespeople’s tactics. I walked up to her with that attitude. I figured I would humor her. Let her talk, go along with her crap while being a loud and obnoxious douche bag to make her stand look like a joke and make her feel like an idiot for asking a young, financially struggling college student to buy her expensive crap. I was not, under any circumstances, going to buy a manicure kit.

I left with two.

The fact that she was very attractive is what made me give her a chance. The fact that she had a hot foreign accent made me stay. And the fact that she didn’t mind me staring at her awesome cleavage while she rattled on about some insignificant crap involving my cuticles made me buy. She was so hot, and I am such an idiot. A broke idiot. All because this hot foreigner let me stare at her boobies.

Anyway, no updates this week.  See you guys tomorrow!

The Top Five Movies of the Past Decade

Staggering as it is to think about we are in the final month of the first decade of the new millennium. Knowing that, I’ve taken it upon myself to recap some of my most favorite and most detested happenings of the last ten years.

In that spirit, here are my top five favorite movies released between 2000 and 2009. Continue reading

[Game Review] The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (DS)

System: Nintendo DS (Exclusive)
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Genre: Adventure

It’s always a phenomenal event when a new Zelda game hits store shelves. The legendary series has been going strong for over 20 years without a single bad entry (except Zelda II. And those awful CDi games don’t count either). Some of the games are better than others, sure, but every notch into the convoluted Zelda time line represents a timeless classic and a memorable adventure. Now that Spirit Tracks for the Nintendo DS, the latest entry into the renowned series, is finally here, it’s time once again to venture through the land of Hyrule on an epic quest to save Princess Zelda. Continue reading

[The Everyview Update] 12/6/09

I’m tired.

We got a new writer. Phil. He will be doing some video game articles and reviews whenever he isn’t busy running his own site, SuperPhillip Central. We’re hoping to have him join forces with us full time and become our Games Editor, so we’ll see how that turns out in the end.

Other than that, it’s December. Christmas is coming up, as are the other holidays (forgive me for not being culturally educated on Catholic and Hispanic traditions, amongst others), and that means one thing. PRESENTS! I’ll be asking everyone for cash this year so I can afford this HD camcorder I’ve had my eye on for a while. Video reviews soon? We’re probably way too lazy, but we do agree that it is a good idea.

I’m going to bed.

Hello. It is I, someone new. Yes. Considerably.

Hello, Everyviewers, I’m known as Phil, and I am a new contributor here at this fine, glorious, excellent, remarkable, tremendous (fair amount of sucking up– move on) site. I have and still do run a video game blog of my own entitled SuperPhillip Central. I have done so for about a year and half for the sole reason of combining two loves of mine into one: gaming and writing. Made sense to me at least.

A little bit about me– I’m 23, and I live in the Midwest. I’m signed up to go back to college after a two year hiatus, and I’m hoping to major in theater. There’s enough drama in my life as is anyway. Why not have some for fun with acting?

My purpose here at Everyview will be to contribute game reviews and occasional editorials as I deem necessary… or when drunk. Whichever comes first, I imagine. No, I kid. I don’t drink. I’m supposedly in the running for Games Editor, but we’ll see how much work that entails first. Perhaps that drunk remark took me out of the running…

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you around on Everyview!

– Phil
