Popcorners Whole Grain Review

  There are hundreds of different products that are  released every year that look to carve out a niche for themselves. The sad fact is that a number of these products do not contribute significantly to snacking or are otherwise forgettable. Popcorners is a new product, that has been released in three flavors. Popcorners are crafted with non-GMO grain and is gluten free. The flavoring of each Popcorners type absolutely…

The Suicide Machines Battle Hymns CD Review

 The Suicide Machines-Battle Hymns-This is another band that I am giving a 2nd (and 3rd) chance to prove themselves. This album is much more cohesive then the first one I reviewed. The Suicide Machines end each song before it gets stagnant, by having the songs only last about a minute and a half each. They also are talented enough to keep the mix away from stagnation, changing styles numerous times…

NCAA Football 14 Review

The graphics of NCAA Football 14 for the PS3 are absolutely brilliant, rendering some of college football’s most well-known stadiums and fan bases in a vibrant and realistic style. The game play allows for individuals to immediately pick up the game and pull off a victory against the AI, but the learning curve of the title is so intense that friends will be debating the victor for years to come.…

Suffrajett – Suffrajett EP Review

The chunky rock of Suffrajett that starts off their self-titled EP in “Mr.Man” is reminiscent of acts like Joan Jett, but also from the very loud and raucous female country singers of the last decade (such as Shania Twain). The production is very Spartan for this disc, showcasing the empty space more than the instrumentation of the disc. This creates some tension in the track, something that is only negated…

Platoon (Blu-Ray)

While the Blu-Ray format is a relatively new one, I am personally surprised that 1986’s Platoon had not received a release up to this point. However, Fox (through the MGM imprint) has given fans a tremendous gift for the film’s twenty-fifth anniversary. First off, the 1080p transfer of Platoon from the original print will make the lush jungle backdrop pop that much more, and imbue viewers with a sense that…

Rogue Wallet Reviewed

  Wallets have been utilized for a substantial amount of time, but there have been few upgrades to the square-styled format since it was introduced. Rogue Industries’ Rogue Wallet is one of the best products that we have reviewed in 2013, as the company creates a solid wallet that completely shatters the conceptions that one would have about the oft-gifted accessory. One will immediately see the Rogue Wallet’s biggest change…

Sessions MH510 Headphones Review

  We utilize headphones all the time at NeuFutur headquarters, and have found time and time again that the traditional, over-the-ear headphones are what can recreate music the closest to a full sound system. However, there are a number of headphones out there that possess a similar style. The build of the MH510s is stellar, ensuring that it can take dings and bumps of everyday life without an issue. The…

Alaskan Stout Review

  For those that have access to the Alaskan Stout, they should immediately search out a bottle. This is due to the smooth mouthfeel, absolutely dark color ,and full head that pours from each beer. The slightly heavier ABV (5.7%) allows for a hint of burn to moderate the coffee and caramel flavors that are present. With subsequent sips, bits of smoke and toasted malt become evident. Makes the beer…

Shock Doctor Core Compression Short with Cup Pocket Review

  When one gets up into the higher weights, the provision of additional support in an area is absolutely essential. This means that when I do squats, I have to ensure that I have that I can put forth the maximum of effort. The Shock Doctor compression shorts allow me the ability to press further and do higher weights than I would normally do. The material utilized in the shorts…

Neverwinter PC Review

  Neverwinter is a free-to-play MMORPG that represents a well-polished combat and profession system alongside the sheer amount of lore that exists in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. The title has enough different twists and turns to it that players wille asily be able to log hundreds of hours onto the title. Furthermore, Neverwinter caters to both experienced and new players alike. For example, the map system is intuitive on…

WEIRD WORLD TO RELEASE DEBUT FROM LEEDS BAND HOOKWORMS

Hookworms has been terrorizing headlining bands across northern England (as support with Wooden Shjips, Sun Araw and Peaking Lights), and beyond through sheer sonic velocity and emotive intent. The reel feels cathartic, each fresh revolution of the loop a confrontation between the band and themes of depression, loss and anger – subjects close to the heart of the group’s vocalist MJ.   Pearl Mystic is an absolutely thunderous statement of…

Seconds Before Landing The Great Deception CD Review

What Could It Be? is the initial track on The Great Deception, and it provides ample background for listeners. Touching upon the Roswell alien crash, What Could It Be? links organic and human elements with a more tranc-y, out of this world instrumentation. Instructions immediately brings listeners into a style that fans of Styx and Utopia would appreciate. Seconds Before Landing touch upon a wide array of influences from the…

Great Northern Porter Review

      While there seems to be a desire for individuals to want the lighter and more fruit-flavored beers during the summer months, I feel that porters provide a perfect counter-point to a big meal or long day of work. Summit’s Great Northern Porter is a rich brew that pours with an intimidatingly dark head and body. The lacing that remains stands in stark opposition to the dark coloration…

The Producers Blu-Ray and DVD Combo Pack Review

  The original 1968 film of The Producers is a classic title, showcasing Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, and Zero Mostel in a deliriously funny and off-the-wall look into the Broadway of the 1960s. When Max Bialystock (Mostel) and eir accountant (Wilder) learn that making an unsuccessful Broadway show is more financially lucrative than dealing with a long-haul release, Springtime For Hitler is born. The machinations of Bialystock and Bloom are…

Newland Volume 3 Mixtape CD Review

There is a high amount of energy that is present on this mixtape, and a considerable portion of that comes from the work of DJ Malone. Where the most common mixtapes around have DJs touting themselves at the expense of the songs that listeners want to hear, there is a much more organic feel to the compilation of cuts here. What DJ Malone Productions does here is blend the hottest…
