The world of flavored vodka ensures that there will be a considerable amount of new efforts that are added to store shelves every year. Svedka is a company that has been able to add to the dialogue considerably, and their Colada Vodka (coconut / pineapple) is something special. The flavor is natural without being too faint, while having an assertive enough profile to hide the vodka burn. Svedka Colada…
Dragon’s Maze is the final expansion in the Return to Ravnica block, and it closes the lore chapter (for the time being) in the Ravnica plane.

Dragon’s Maze contains one planeswalker – the aforementioned Ral Zarek has an ultimate which may allow players five extra turns if coin flips go their way.…

Furthermore, the amount of space that the backpack provides ensures that one can stash their laptop and other peripherals without cramming…
In Your House was a value-priced PPV that the WWE ran from 1995 to 1999. All in all, 28 events carried the In Your House banner. This Blu-Ray (also available on DVD) contains two discs of matches, bonus features, and ultimately will provide viewers with about 9 hours of footage. The PPV series was important in that it provided the first time for some of the most memorable match…

This ensures that viewers are provided with two and a half hours of Fraggle Rock footage, which is more than enough to foster a love for the show. The video quality of the Meet the Fraggles DVD is stellar, ensuring greater clarity for many than the first…

Betaine is the primary compound that is present in Max Pump, and will provide considerable benefits alongside a normal regimen of supplementation (protein, amino acids, multi-vitamins). Max Pump’s effects can be felt a few…
Manborg is a story that seems to be set in an alternative universe, one in which Hell has waged war against humanity. Manborg is set up against the forces of Count Draculon, and adds a few distinct characters to the mix before eir final battle. Manborg is an absolute popcorn flick in the vein of Army of Darkness or Mad Max, deftly blending catchphrases, action, and overall evil in a…
Bacardi Pineapple Fusion is a much-needed addition to flavored rums. While the traditional favorite has been coconut rum, the pineapple twist that Bacardi has entered into the marketplace is stellar. The spirit will modify considerably any normal mixed drink utilizing rum, while there is enough of a body and unique flavor to the Pineapple Fusion that it tastes great in the rocks or sipped neatly. The pineapple that is…
Charles Band has created another film that will be eagerly watched by legions of Puppet Master and Gingerdead Man. Ooga Booga is a horror film that has urban trappings. The titular doll has the spirit of an African-American individual, Devin Campbell, that has been slighted by the system, with the flashpoint occurring when a slushie machine goes absolutely haywire. When the doll attempts to receive eir vengeance, it seems…
If it’s possible to revive the music from the 1970’s Laurel Cannon heyday, Detroit’s alt country band the Deadstring Brothers (I know, Detroit! Who knew?) are easily the best candidates to do so. You can almost see the pot smoke in the air when this one’s playing. Now calling Nashville home, the band’s latest, Cannery Row, is yet another solid release from these guys. Ten years, and a slew of lineup…
MCT (medium chain triglycerides) have been shown to provide a statistically greater amount of energy than other types of products (protein or carb-containing supplements). MCT Fuel provides a boost to Vitamin A (10%) and E stores (330%) and contains 8 grams of MCT for each 30 mL does. MCT Fuel should be seen as an upgrade to similar products in that its energy profile does not convert to body fat…
Considering the Sacred series’ history of open-world action-RPG games, the release of Sacred Citadel as a downloadable side-scrolling brawler with light RPG samplings is a bit out of left field. But despite the dramatic departure in gameplay, Sacred Citadel is an enjoyable addition to the XBLA library, albeit with some flaws. Sacred Citadel serves as a prequel to the upcoming Sacred 3, and casts you as one of four playable…
Pawn has a simple set up. A restaurant is actively being held up when a police officer happens upon the crime. What results is one of the most tense situations that criminal or officer of the peace can encounter, and those tapped to take part in the film (Forest Whitaker, Common, Stephen Lang, and Michael Chiklis) do a great job in imparting the difficulty in diffusing the situation. The…
Gates to the Pantheon is the fourth album from Negator, and the 9 tracks contained within showcase considerable evolution and tightening of the band’s sound. The album starts out strong with Bringer of War and The Last Sermon. Rather than continue to hammer their sound over listeners, Negator changes gears with Serpent’s Court. Serpent’s Court has a more brooding and darkly emotive feel, a trend that is made more common…
Witness: A World in Conflict Through A Lens focuses on four distinct locations – Juarez, Libya, South Sudan, and Rio. Michael Mann (Thief, The Aviator, and Texas Killing Fields) focuses on the plights captured by combat photographers. Merely existing in these war-zones is a difficult enough tasks, but being the individual that captures these hells is something completely different. What results in Witness is a tremendously personal film that utilizes…
Pow-Wow Botanical Rye Whiskey has one of the most eclectic sets of flavors that we have ever experienced in whiskey. The rye whiskey format always has more nuance than a comparable barley or corn whiskey. The inclusion of botanicals (including Orange Peel and Saffron) to Pow-Wow ensures that no two tastes will be exactly the same. While we had sips that were more fruit-lead, others yielded something much more sweet…
Dave Bry’s first book is so brilliant in its simplicity it’s pretty astounding no one has thought of it before – the apology genre. Though his execution is so deft it’s almost certain if anyone had attempted this before it would not be as nearly memorable. Yes, I realize there is nothing new about self-confessional essays, but an entire book of apologies? I think we’re breaking new ground here folks.…
Very few single compound-containing supplements are able to provide a significant effect for those that are taking them. Syneburn, a Primaforce supplement, contains 10 milligrams of Synephrine from Citrus Aurantium (Bitter Orange). Supplementation with Syneburn will provide a large boost to one’s energy without the rapid crash that energy pills provide. Furthermore, Syneburn decreases the overall hunger level of those that supplement with it, decreasing the desire to snack and…
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is a 1943 title that showcases the evolution of conflict from the years immediately preceding the first World War out until the mid-point of World War II. General Clive Candy (Roger Livesey, The Stowaway and Finger of Guilt) is increasingly left behind in all aspects of society, whether it be warfare, love, or culture. The liberal usage of flashback scenes provides viewers with…
A problem that I have identified with a number of fat burning supplements has to be the tendency to just slap a ton of caffeine into a blend of components and call it a day. MHP’s Dopamite includes those components that have been overwhelmingly shown to effect body fat, and as a result, this is one of the few fat burning supplements that we have reviewed that has any…
