The world's gone mad: Red Bull Cola

Red Bull apparently came out with a cola last year, but I've never seen it until now. It's not what you think; there is no Red Bull/ Coke infusion type of deal. Red Bull Simply Cola, as it is called, is an all natural cola slapped with the Red Bull brand name. There is no secret formula and the entire ridiculous list of ingredients is listed on the back of the can. Seriously, it's like drinking your garden. Ingredients include: water, sugar, carbon dioxide, caramel flavor, galangal, vanilla, mustard seed, lime, kola nut, cocoa, licorice, cinnamon, lemon, ginger, coca leaf, orange, corn mint, pine, cardamom, mace, clove, lemon juice concentrate, and caffeine from coffee beans. I don't even know what half of those things are. I also find it curious that they list carbonated water as water and carbon dioxide separately. It's funny, in a strange way. So, we know it's all natural and made from random garden herbs and whatnot. But how does it taste? Not bad, actually. Not bad at all, though it does have a lightly bitter aftertaste (which I vastly prefer to that horrible diet soda aftertaste). I've never actually had regular Red Bull, but I hear it's absolutely terrible. This Cola tastes like a stronger Coke. That's probably because of all the random-ass natural ingredients, though that should be expected. After all, the can does say it's "strong and natural". All in all, it actually seems healthier than drinks like Coke or Pepsi because of its lack of artificial garbage, and I like that I actually know what I'm drinking even if I don't know what the hell it is. I might just start drinking this regularly from now on. Red Bull Simply Cola is available where ever you can find it in 12 and 8 oz. cans. Give it a try, you may or may not like it!

This commercial... WTF



Did you catch it? That was an ad for chocolate.

If only he used his tallent productively...

But no. Instead he plays Mario. Hell of a drummer, though. Hats off to you, sir, whoever you are!

Random Video for Today

Well, I wanted to post this, but embedding has been disabled on every posting of this video on Youtube (or, at least the uncensored ones). So, here's the link instead. Enjoy.

Dark days for Mario and Luigi

Well, this was pretty entertaining so I thought I'd post it. It just proves what a loser Luigi is...

This is just too cool to pass over

So I was randomly surfing Youtube because I was bored and I found some fan-made trailer for something or other. It was nothing to spectacular, but I noticed that everyone seemed to want to know where the music came from. That lead me to Imperativa Records, who has put out an entire album of epic trailer music. Seriously? That's pretty sweet. There's some demo tracks on the page to listen to and the entire CD is available for the low, low price of around $15 (really, that's not so low). The whole idea made me crack up to start with, but once I warmed up to the idea it actually seems pretty cool.

My jaw is on the floor.

If you don't want to pick up a copy of Halo Wars after watching this, there is something seriously, seriously wrong with you. It makes me wish these movie companies would quit their petty squabbling and release a CGI Halo movie that looks a little something like this. I said my mind was blow before... well, I've got no mind left to blow. My whole head's gone now.

*EDIT*
Looks like that was a leak from Microsoft that wasn't meant for release. That means they're pulling it down all over the place. To my knowledge, you can still watch it and download it directly from here. If you missed out because the link was bad, make sure you check it out now. You'll thank me later.

Halo Wars: Day... uh... what day are we on, again?

Regardless, today's Halo Wars goodie comes in the form of three downloadable tracks from the Halo Wars soundtrack: Spirit of Fire, Through Your Hoops, and Under Your Hurdles. The second is my favorite. Epic, yet Irish.
