Fans of Warhawk will be pleased to know that the strengths of the previous title are ratcheted up for Starhawk, ensuring an immersive and fun experience. For those that have not played Warhawk, it is an eclectic title that brings forth strategy elements to a third-person shooter game. The chaos that can occur with a multiplayer game is substantial, as up to 32 players can all seek and destroy…
One can supplement with a bevy of products and not get anywhere. This is because the different supplements, be they a pre-workout, protein, vitamin, or the like – cannot heavily impact the bloodstream. The Black Betas product released by Eight Ball Nutrition is one of the first products that we have reviewed that looks to do that. I believe that those that want to push their workouts to the…
The Xbox 360 has been out for a few years, and there is talk about a new console supplanting it in the years to come. Max Payne 3, the latest game from Rockstar Games, showcases that a motivated company can continue to eke more power out of this console. The years of downtime for the franchise have been put to good use; this may be the most immersive and…
It’s been awhile since Willie’s put out an album free of themes. His last few, his partnerships with Asleep At the Wheel and Wynton Marsalis (those are two separate pairing, by the way), while good, seemed to be more about changing things up after 60 or so studio albums (and that’s not a typo) than continuing his legacy as one of this country’s greatest musical treasures. Hyperbole aside, you could…
There are many creatine-containing products on the market. However, the C-AKG powder produced by Olympian Labs is one that is head and shoulders above the pack. There are no other additions in this product, just Creatine-Alpha-Ketoglutarate. This ensures a certain purity to the product that is unheard of; one will be able to work in a scoopful of C-AKG Powder to the workout regimen, no matter what products one already…
Rookie Blue is one of the best cop dramas that we have reviewed. I believe that the dynamic between the different members of the force is further fleshed out with the episodes of the second season, and eOne has provided the box set for individuals that missed these episodes the first time. For those that have not watched the show, Rookie Blue is a tremendously tout bit of television that…
We have received a number of different omega-containing compounds as of late. Many of them fade into the masses, but we were very excited to receive and review Nordic Naturals’ latest, their Omega-3 Effervescent. This product has a delightful orange flavor that is more moderate than the average, and will remind individuals of an orange creamsicle. Just mix a packet with 4 to 6 ounces of water and one will…
Rebuild (Protein) / GX Supplements / http://www.go-gx.com The quality of proteins have increased considerably in the time since we started working out. GX Supplements’ Rebuild is a perfect example of this. This product does Rebuild, but it also builds considerable amounts of muscle mass. This is due to the inclusion of a wide array of protein sources, including whey protein, casein, and Waxy Maize. The inclusion of a 4:3 protein…
Who are you and how long have you been active? My name is David Timko; stage name Slave. I have been behind the decks for almost 2 years now, and have been producing electronic music since around the age of 14. What’s your setup? How does a track move from initial thought to finished effort? As of now, I am producing using FL 10 as my DAW with loads…
Air and Space Collection (DVD Set) / 2012 Smithsonian Channel / http://www.smithsonianchannel.com / This is the perfect collection for anyone that is interested in the skies, whether they be relatively close (air flight) or something beyond that (space). These four documentaries provide an exhaustive and up to date view on aeronautics; the value of America’s Hangar, Concorde: Flying Supersonic, History in HD: America in Space and Space Shuttle: Final Countdown…
Labrada HICA-Max Muscle Growth Stimulator / Labrada Nutrition / http://www.labrada.com / http://www.labrada.com/moreinfo_hica.shtml It seems that there are only a few general classes of supplements that are used by those who bodybuild. I believe that Labrada’s HICA-Max is the first effort in making a new “must-have” for individuals that want to be the most jacked they can be. HICA-Max contains Leucic Acid, which is the way in which amateur and aspiring…
Magic: The Gathering: Avacyn Restored Set Review / 2012 Wizards of the Coast / http://www.wizards.com Avacyn Restored is the final set in the Innistrad block. With this set, the fate of Innistrad is shown. Liliana, on her trip to reclaim the pieces of soul she signed over to Griselbrand, gives Thalia a tough decision – save her minions or the Helvault. The Helvault shatters, releasing Griselbrand and Avacyn. With Avacyn restored,…
Image Entertainment is providing viewers with a panoply of classic films on Blu-Ray for the first time. They have made the cost of these films eminently affordable (pre-orders for both titles can be found for $10.99), and the library in which these titles are drawn will not dry up. The Odessa File is absolutely stunning. This 1974 film, starring Jon Voight, Mary Tamm and Maximilian Schell), is a high-energy…
Body Form: High Energy Thermogenic / Better Body Sports / http://www.betterbodysports.com Body Form comes in three flavors – Cherry Limeade, Pineapple Breeze, and Orange Blast. The energy that Body Form provides to those that take it is based off of Green Tea extract, Guarana, Synephrine and Octopamine. Octopamine is structurally related to norephinephrine, and works alongside the aforementioned compounds to grant individuals with long-lasting energy. Body Form is more desirable than…
The sheer power which the band puts into Bombshell far outstrips other pop acts on the scene. The track is more varied fare than what typically is played on the radio; the track’s rich production allows hints of girl group pop, rock, and R&B all to be heard. As Petrel moves towards the hook, this sister trio is able to harmonize and drive the melody deep into listeners’ minds…
Occult Academy – Complete Series Premium Edition / 2012 NIS America / http://www.nisamerica.com This is the authoritative Occult Academy release. For those that have not seen it, it is the third effort by Anime no Chikara (So Ra No Wo To, Senko no Night Raid). In the show, 2012 sees the destruction of the world. Time travellers are sent back to 1999 to fix the issues that lead to the…
Swole Turbo Shred / Thermogenic Energy Formula / http://www.swolesports.com The sheer amount of energy that is provided by the Turbo Shred far outstrips other products in the category; I believe that this is due to Swole’s unique formulation of the product. Beginning with Chromium, which keeps blood sugar levels steady, the SHRED energy matrix will keep individuals energized through the next 4-6 hours. Rather than immediately fall off, the Turbo…
There are a number of different fish oils on the market. Few of them are able to provide a high quality source for the different types of oils that one needs, but the Axis Labs Citrus Omega is able to do just that. There is no fishy flavor to this supplement, and one will be pleasantly surprised at the mild Citrus flavor that the pills do have. The softgels are…
We’ve been keeping an eye on Hazy Flow for a while now. This Cleveland rapper has just released his new video for the cut “Bass Go Hammer”. Footage was captured during the Kent, Ohio College Fest riots April 21st.
Short story collections have always had a polarizing effect on readers. There are some who swear by the genre, impressed by an author’s ability to tell a compelling story in a matter of just a few pages, while others avoid the form at all costs. It’s a shame for the latter, as they are missing out on pretty much everything written by Etgar Keret, one of the wittiest, most psychologically…
