Eight years after the animated show Daria ended its five seasons run, the series – tailor-made for Generation X – is finally being released in its entirety. The collection includes the pilot, episodes from all five seasons and a slew of extras. They may have taken their time rolling this one out, but they did it right.
Pinnacle’s flavored line was one of the few that we had not had the opportunity to review at NeuFutur. Where we have reviewed countless other flavored vodkas in the time that we have had the alcoholic section active, Pinnacle’s Raspberry effort is special. Aside from being the first of its brand, it also is the first raspberry-touched spirit that we have covered. The seventy-proof spirit represents a fairly normally-fueled spirit,…
It has been a long while since I Had the chance to watch any of the original series of Dragonball. I still recall that my sister was a fan of it while we were both in school, so it has been a few years. Funimation has stoked my interest in the show with their re-mastering of the fourth season of Dragonball. This season surrounds the lead up to the major…
Q: What’s your story? How’d you fall into music and in particular, praise music? I grew up in Trinidad in a hard part of the country. I came to the United States 12 years ago and ended up getting saved and stayed here. I have been singing all of my life but when I was first saved I stopped and just focused on growing in the Lord and on His…
Much like the tabloids it parodies, the Courtney Cox-starring cable show Dirt, is a guilty pleasure: Pure trash, little redeeming valuable, but extremely hard to turn away from. Cox does the nearly impossible playing cold-as-ice Lucy Spiller, editor-in-chief of the glossy celeb tabloid Dirt Now, and manages to actually come off as likeable. She might just be one of TV’s ultimate antiheroes.
Well, you jump, and that’s about it. Doesn’t exactly sound like that intense of a gaming experience right? In fact, at first glance Canabalt looks more like a rejected Atari title than the incredibly innovative and fun little gem that it is. I stumbled on the game about a week ago, and since then have been playing it quite a bit and I have to say, this is one of…
It has been a number of years since Red Dead Revolver came out, and chances are that many players of Red Dead Redemption have likely not played the original title. Regardless of whether individuals have familiarized themselves with the 2004 original, there has been countless work put into this 2010 title. The plot sets players up as the controllers of John Marston, a 1911 ex-con that is looking to take…
It seems as if many cherry-flavored alcohols tend to taste like cough syrup. I’m not sure if companies feel emboldened to go forth and make a half-arsed cherry iteration of one of their products, but it is very common . However, as Bacardi has moved to reinvigorate their brand, whether it be through changing of the cap (to keep the vodka fresher) or giving a more up to date bottle…
NeuFutur.com and Cypress Hill / Activision / Skull Candy are hooking up to give a NeuFutur reader free swag. WE’LL BE GIVING A RARE RISE UP FLAG, FROM THE BAND’S PERFORMANCE ON JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE, AUTOGRAPHED BY CYPRESS HILL, TOM MORELLO OF RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE AND JOHN DOLMAYAN OF SYSTEM OF A DOWN.
Fresh off their 2007 effort, “Read The Signs”, DownTown Mystic have just cut their latest album, “Standing Still”. “Standing Still” represents an evolutionary step forward for the act, while still maintaining cohesion amongst the disc’s thirteen cuts. “Backdoor” starts out with a bit of blues-tinged rock that allows Robert’s vocals to approach the timbre and quality of a Warren Zevon or Jimmy Buffett. Despite having a sound that would easily…
More than a decade after they formed, it’s still amazing to think that John K. Samson, the voice behind Canada’s The Weakerthans, is the same punk rocker that used to play bass for the skate punks in Propaghandi. The sounds of both bands are so drastically different. While Propaghandi had the angst-ridden teen market in mind, The Weakerthans churn out beautifully-crafted, melody-soaked, deeply introspective indie rock. Recorded before a hometown…
In the new effort from Fabrication Games comes an App that’s not a game at all, but instead a rather useful tool for gamers to find, discover, and be informed about the games available in the AppStore. The App, ‘The Game Trail’, is a straight forward concept; use any one of the five options to discover new games, or using the search and genre functions – find exactly the game…
There is a serious amount of action to be had in Sega’s Xbox 360 version of Iron Man 2, which represents a title that is associated with a movie that can actually stand as a separate entity. Where it feels almost as if games will just be slapped together once a company has the rights to the title, there are a number of nuances present in this title that places…
“How To Swim” will immediately catch the ears of anyone lucky enough to listen in; whether it is the splashy drums or the utterly bombastic arrangements that initialize the title, “Picket Fence” is immediately set up as a definitive release. Emotive vocals mix up with a scintillating arrangement that moves between Alkaline Trio, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and even Incubus. What results on “How To Swim” and the rest of…
It has been a number of years since we here at NeuFutur were last able to hear new music from Dutch (indie) rockers Bettie Serveert, and the initial strains of “Pharmacy of Love” shows that they have not let any rust accumulate. Approaching nearly twenty years in music, Bettie Serveert is an act that never really got the love in the United States that they should have. There are a…
Ken Wahl was the main star of this show, but there were a significant amount of actors that got their first role on this show, which was a prominent fixture on CBS from 1987 to 1990. This means that Elsa Rabin was able to take the role of Vincent’s mother years before ey was Ida on Titanic while Gerald Anthony ratcheted up eir daytime-honed skill for eir role as Father…
“Afterglow Master” is the first track on “Honor Among Thieves”, and it comes forth as a completely unique style that is an extrapolation of Neil Young and Dave Matthews. While the track is vocal-heavy, the backing band comes forth with some serious fury. From this initial track, listeners will be caught on Pressner’s catchy melodies and solid instrumentation present here. The titular track follows up “Afterglow Master”, and showcases a…
The Dance Dance Revolution craze has been going strong for over a decade, but few titles have been able to successfully convey that to a portable format. THQ has done just that with their Beast City, which allows individuals to get into the groove with a total of over twenty different rhythmically-infused mini-games. THQ (and their wireless division Universomo) have even added a back story to Beat City, pitting players…
I grew up well after the civil rights movement, so my knowledge of history from that era is a little shaky. It is thus great to see that an individual as important as William Kunstler is able to be immortalized in celluloid with the April release of Disturbing The Universe. For those, like myself, that were fuzzy about why exactly William Kunstler was important, the facts are laid out from…
Sam & Max have to be part of one of the longest running series in video gamedom at this point. Where there were a few years without a Sam & Max title, Telltale Games (And publisher Atari) have decided to create a game that carries the standard of Sam & Max quite well. This title represents the second volume in the ongoing Sam & Max serial, continuing with the same…
