Call of Duty Ghosts is one of the most immersive titles that we have reviewed. The graphics present here are stellar. This means that there is a wide array of different environments which players will experience, from cityscapes to free-falling from airplanes, scuba diving all the way to taking up the aspect of a dog. Perhaps the greatest increase to the gameplay has to be the multiplayer modes. The care…
This is one of the few BCAA products that we can get fully behind. While some BCAA-containing supplements contain a solid flavor, miscibility, or collection of amino acids, few of them are able to combine all three. A scoop (15 grams) of BCAA Blast contains 55 calories, no fat, cholesterol, or sodium. The 5 grams of carbs which are present per-scoop are combined with SNI’s proprietary Ethyl Ester Recovery…
The Kings of Summer focuses on the exploits of a trio of teenagers – Nick Robinson, Gabiel Basso, and Moises Arias. As a swan song to their childhood years, the group strikes out on their own and attempts to build a house. The cast is rounded out by Parks & Recreation’s Nick Offerman, Megan Mullaly (Will & Grace), and Alison Brie (Mad Men, Community). The film looks back to…
Giant Flying Turtles are an act that blends a wide array of different genres and styles in the creation of an utterly unique album. Run for Your Life has the Giant Flying Turtles take up the countenance of seventies rock, tying a strong set of vocals with pleasant guitars and on-point drum and synth work. Utterly ready for radio rotation, GFT is able to keep things going well with Keep…
Girl Most Likely is the type of movie that could only work as a small, independent film. The quirky love story, the outrageous characters (each more odd than the next) and the small town charm would quickly be distorted and dumbed down in the hands of a major studio in an attempt to try and guarantee broader appeal. The quirky love story would be amped up to make it the primary…
We received two cans of the SuperMonk Belgian IPA for review, and wanted to taste the beer over a length of time to see whether the same sort of flavors were present. The beer pours nicely, with a nice copper/orange body. The lacing that is present is an off-white and about a finger’s thick and remains through the entirety of the beer. A citrus meets floral nose will immediately entice…
Ryan Gosling shines in this title, which focuses on the tumultuous life of Julian, an American that has set a fighting club in Thailand; while operating at the fringes of the law, Julian is able to keep things working nicely until eir brother Billy (Tom Burke) is slayed by various unsavory elements. The careful life that Julian had created for eirself falls to pieces as elements from eir family…
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 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. The visual quality of the Blu-Ray print is stellar, breathing new life into each scene. I feel that the crispness and clarity of the audio contained on this release makes for a more alluring overall experience. The release comes with a miniature pamphlet written…
Kindred – The Embraced: The Complete Series contains the show’s entire run of 8 episodes. Kindred – The Embrace focused on the rich White Wolf (Vampire: The Masquerade) universe, and deftly combined political intrigue with love elements. An all-star cast (Mark Frankel, Stacy Haiduk, and C. Thomas Howell) ensure that viewers will be at the edges of their seats. Five clans strive for dominance in a world in which vampires…
We were lucky to receive some of the Orange Creamsicle flavor of Met-Rx’s latest protein bar, NOS Pumped. Each bar contains 220 calories (45 of which come from fat), 5 grams of fat (7% RDV), 30 grams of carbohydrates, and 13 grams of protein (26% RDV). The balanced nature of the Pumped Energy Bar’s macronutrients ensures that the boost that the bar provides will be both long-lasting and functional. The…
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…
Jupiter in Velvet is able to cultivate and provide listeners with an inimitable style on his latest effort, Screaming The Love Behind The Scars. So How Could They Know? Is a track that looks back into the halcyon days of late eighties rock, all while the act impresses through stellar arrangements and a production that allows each constituent element to shine. Monkey See Monkey Do is a high-energy track that…
Morrissey fans are a devout bunch. Some might say fanatical, but I’ll go with adoring. Regardless there are bound to be some that have a problem with any DVD that comes out about Moz (“Why didn’t it include interviews with Morrissey?” “There were not enough up close shots of him singing!” and on, and on, and on). But this 25Live captures one of Morrissey’s most intimate concerts in recent memory,…
River Phoenix was 23-years-old when he died on the sidewalk outside of the Viper Room. And given his childhood – raised in the Children of God cult, forced to panhandle in the streets of South America to feed his family, and serving as the main source of income for his parents and siblings for the rest of his short life – it’s hard to imagine a scenario where he…
Hit’N’Run is the first track on the Wicked Bees EP, and long-time ska listeners will be able to pick out Mighty Mighty Bosstones, early No Doubt, and The Insyderz in Ska Skank Redemption’s overall sound. The production of this release allows the instrumentation to shine as brightly as the inimitable vocals, ensuring that an effort like Sheila could easily make it onto rock radio. Sheila combines elements as disparate as…
I am an amateur weightlifter as well as a reviewer for NeuFutur. When I do certain exercises such as deadlifts, snatches, and the clean and jerk my shins require extra protection. Zensah women’s compression socks have become a must have for me during and after my workouts. Zensah’s women’s compression socks provide the right amount of pressure in the calves; the socks are tight enough they increase your blood…
There is something dated about the sound on the debut full length from Philly’s Transitshop. And not in a “cool, this has a real vintage throwback feel to it,” but more of an “I’m gonna recreate an old ‘80s new wave record without really adding anything new to the mix” feel. The result is a bit of an affected Morrissey croon over some old Spandau Ballet tracks, which…
My Heart immediately tattoos a rhythm on listeners that lingers long after the track has ceased. The fullness that this track has is utterly surprising – the guitar, drums, and soulful vocals make this a home run. 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…
Her Bed of Thorns come out of the gates on Alive with some of the most furious hard rock / metal that we have heard this year. There clear and concise style of the band will bludgeon listeners over the head and take them for a ride. Bad Girl continues with this trend, allowing the band’s instrumentation to shine. Whether it is the splashy drums, shredding guitars, or the…
