Carnivor Beef Aminos Review

MuscleMeds provides athletes with a set of aminos, sourced from beef, that look to decrease (or stave off) catabolization. Where many amino-containing products only provide three amino acids (typically L-Leucine, L-Valine, and L-Isolucine), Musclemeds has placed a slew of amino acids into the stew – the typical amino acid profile includes the three aforementioned amino acids alongside L-Threonine, L-Lysine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Tryptophan, L-Methionine, and L-Histidine. The supplement is…

The Exorcist 40th Anniversary Edition Blu-Ray Review

The Exorcist is provided to viewers through a crystal-clear print, which contains a longer film (with deleted scenes) than was viewed during its initial theatrical run.

Steelseries Apex Gaming Keyboard Review

The durability of the keyboard ensures that players will be able to eke out years of use, no matter how hard to brutal the player’s gaming style may be. I feel that the lighting options available on the Apex provides the perfect amount of customization, while the bumps that are present on the W key make it a breeze to get back to the right finger placement. For those…

Julian Temple Band Upsidedownbackwards CD Review

My Heart immediately tattoos a rhythm on listeners that lingers long after the track has ceased.

Dark Bar goes off in a completely different direction, as the slower and more brooding feel of this track takes upon hints of Blues Traveler, Dave Matthews Band, and Barenaked Ladies. I…
