10 Albums Essential for Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse

Posted on by

Smart people are constantly and without rest preparing for the imminent Zombie Apocalypse. Countless battle and escape strategies are discussed and pondered over just as many scenarios, yet no one can ever seem to agree on the proper way to survive an attack from the undead.

Just as varied in opinions and as essential to survival, though much less discussed, is the music you would take with you to your safehold. In the heat of your grandmother trying to get her decomposing jaws around your juicy jugular you aren’t going to have the luxury of sorting through your CD’s for the music you want to take with you.

That’s why Troy from edjunkie.com and us here at Everyview highly suggest everyone with at least one functioning brain cell compose a list of 10 albums essential to survival and keep them somewhere immediately accessible. Check out our lists, put some thought into your own, and be sure to prepare yourself for an undead invasion. Continue reading →

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and many of us are just now recovering from turkey overdose, but we have been hard at work here at Everyview. For a while we’ve been planning a series of Holiday Buyer’s Guides to help our readers make it through this holiday shopping rush. We’ve already published seven different guides, and we still aren’t done! Go ahead and browse through the ones we’ve already done, and make sure you keep checking back every day for the remaining entries into our series of 2009 Holiday Buyer’s Guides.

Aside from that, this week we are going to be publishing a Top 10 Albums list. It isn’t a definitive “best albums” list, but instead Troy from edjunkie.com and each member of the Everyview staff picked the albums they would take along to a safehold in the event of a Zombie apocalypse. Get psyched.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey guys, I hope everyone has been having a spectacular Thanksgiving day. I am beyond stuffed, as is the case with every year. I ate way too much, vomited, had desert, vomited, vomited, had another plate of food, and vomited again. And I don’t regret it a single bit.

Get back to your families and friends, Everyviewers, and enjoy the rest of your holiday!

[Food Review] Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Posted on by

It can be hard to find a good burger. I don’t mean a tasty burger. I don’t mean a cheap burger. I mean a delicious, juicy, fully satisfying burger topped with plenty of crisp veggies and stuffed between a flavorful bun. Burgers like that are hard to come by. Unless, of course, you live anywhere near a Five Guys restaurant.

I had originally heard about Five Guys from a post on Grub Grade and my mind was clouded with nothing but thoughts of the delicious-looking burgers ever since. I had finally gotten my chance to satisfy my insane hunger for Five Guys during a trip to Cincinnati to see Marcy Playground. In all honesty, words can hardly describe how delicious the meal was, so I’ve included a few pictures to help me out a little. Continue reading →

Believe it or not, Thanksgiving is only a couple days away. This year has gone by extremely fast, and time shows no signs of slowing down before the holiday season. That’s why we here at Everyview have decided to construct some Holiday Buyer’s Guides to meet the needs of our wide demographic.

Guides for gamers, gear heads, movie and TV buffs, music lovers, energy drink addicts and more are all planned for publication Black Friday. There’s going to be something for everybody, so make sure you stop by the site for tons and tons of gift ideas the holiday season.

Other than that there isn’t much to talk about. The lucky winners from the Starbucks Giveaway should be receiving their prizes in about a week’s time, maybe a little bit longer. That’s about it for the updates, we’ll see you guys tomorrow!

[Energy Drink Review] Blood Energy Potion

Posted on by

Blood Energy Potion is a new energy shot from Mana, the people behind both the Mana Energy Potion and Health Energy Potion, two products which have established themselves as fantastically effective energy shots despite their seemingly “novelty” vibe. Plus they look like something straight out of a video game, and that’s something I can totally dig. But Blood has a completely different theme than its predecessors, ditching the WoW crowd and attempting to capitalize on a whole new breed of human beings. The Vampire fans.

I hate vampires. There’s just nothing about them that appeals to me, and as far as I’m concerned they are the lamest creatures of supernatural lore this side of Frankenstein’s Monster. Maybe it’s just because I’m not a 13 year old girl enfatuated with the series of horrible Twilight books and movies, who knows? Most likely it’s because I’m a zombie guy, and I always have been.

[Game Review] New Super Mario Bros. Wii

System: Wii (Exclusive)
Developer: Nintendo EAD Tokyo
Publisher: Nintendo
Genre: 2D Platformer

New Super Mario Bros Wii is the first new 2D Mario platforming game in 18 years to grace home consoles. That’s right, believe it or not, gripping your SNES controller with sweaty palms and dry eyes was the last time you played an original 2D Mario platformer on a television set. Time flies.

New Super Mario Bros Wii is a follow up to 2006’s best-selling New Super Mario Bros, which was released on the Nintendo DS. Bearing the same moniker, there are obviously some very obvious similarities between the two titles. The Wii rendition is not, however, a remake of the original New Super Mario Bros on the DS. This game is, as I’ve already stated in my opening paragraph, a completely original and unique 2D platformer. I can’t stress that enough, as I overheard one of the idiots at Gamestop tell a customer that they might as well not buy the game if they’ve played the DS version, as the games are identical. I hate stupid people. Continue reading →

[Game Review] Excitebike: World Rally (WiiWare)

System: WiiWare Exclusive
Developer: Monster Games
Publisher: Nintendo
Genre: Racing

Way back in 1985 Nintendo released the original Excitebike on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The then-revolutionary dirt bike racer featured simple controls and addictive beat-the-clock arcade-style gameplay that grabbed hold of gamers and simply wouldn’t let go. The title was met with both critical and commercial success, and is to this very day one of the most beloved NES titles.

Monster Games, the developers for both critically acclaimed spiritual successors to Excitebike, Excitetruck and Excitebots, has taken the formula for what made the original such a smash hit and applied it to Excitebike: World Rally, the newest addition to the Excite lineup of games. Does the 24 year-old formula manage to hold up to today’s standards? Continue reading →
