(Video) He Said,She Said 2014 Kia Sorento Review

May 8, 2013 by Eddy 1 Comment

Image courtesy of Kia Disclosure: We received a loaner 2014 Kia Sorento for one week for review purposes as always our post is our unbiased opinions on the car. The first time I learned about the Kia brand, one of the guys in my high school football team came driving down to practice in a brand new Sportage. It was the pinnacle of awesome! I still can remember that it was gold similar to the color of Champagne. Fast forward 14 years, and here I am sitting in a brand new 2014 Kia Sorento, fully decked out and top of the line. Kia has come a long way since that time, from an unknown, budget brand, localized to first time car buyers to taking that next step along with the Toyota’s and Nissan’s of the world. When I stepped into the Kia Sorento the first thing I said to myself was WOW. As I mentioned in the first impression video I was really knocked out by the great interior. Obviously, the Sorento I tried out happened to be a fully equipped with all … [Read more...]

(Video) Dublin Ireland- Jameson Distillery and Guinness Storehouse Tours

March 24, 2013 by Eddy 2 Comments

Jameson Distillery Dublin, Ireland First thing first, tours fill up fast so it is smart planning ahead. At the Old Jameson distillery (the distiller is no longer produces alcohol, it is only used for tours. The actual whisky is produced in Cork and has its own tour) the tours are separated in three time blocks that rotate throughout the day operating every 25 minutes and the last tour is at 5:15pm, lines to get into the distiller can get pretty long and extend out the doors, therefore it is best to either get tickets ahead of time or purchase tickets for the latest of the three tours and grab a coffee or beer at a nearby bar. The tour itself consists of a movie and then a guided tour of the distillery. The movie while brimming with a good amount of dry humor and is of surprising high production quality though in my opinion it isn’t the most exciting experience. Once completed, your tour guide picks you up and will begin the walking part of the tour. As … [Read more...]

(Video) Hot Wheels Stunt Charger Toy Review

February 27, 2013 by Eddy Leave a Comment

The day and age of having to ratchet back your toy cars to get them to speed off are long over. I still remember having my Grandfather buy me one at the corner store in Puerto Rico. I was so excited to put the car on the ground and pull back, hearing that familiar clicking sound and then letting go. I couldn’t imagine anything going faster than that little car back then. Nowadays things have change. Technology is king, and as results those little cars of the past have been supped up to a point that I doubt my younger self would be able to handle it. All you need as evidence is just to take a look at one of the Hot Wheel Stunt Chargers. Just place them on their dock and charge them up. Once you place them on the floor, watch out! Because they are incredibly fast and don’t worry about obstacles as the Stunt Chargers are specially designed to rebound, flip and dash all over the place. As you can see on this video the boys had a great time with the Hot Wheels Stunt … [Read more...]

Part of this is ensuring that they learn to speak Spanish as well as observe many of the holidays that Latinos' celebrate such as Three King’s Day.

For Dads: Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth Kinect Review

November 29, 2012 by Eddy Leave a Comment

It has almost become cliché to say that serious games on the Kinect are far and few between. It becomes even rarer to see a fighting game on any motion based game system be more than a boring exercise of flaying around and frustration. While Marvel Avengers Battle for Earth isn’t perfect, it has been the most enjoyable and exciting game to recently come out on the Kinect. Developed by Ubisoft Quebec, Marvel Avengers Battle for Earth provides a game that both families and hardcore gamers can at least enjoy together. Based on the comic book story line of the Secret Invasion, where a group of aliens basically play “body snatchers” with marvel’s stable of superheroes. No one knows who the real heroes are and who are fakes, resulting in epic battle between many of the legendary heroes. The game has 8 game modes: Campaign- This consist of over 40 battles with cinematics retelling the Secret Invasion story. Arcade- players must defeat all the other characters in … [Read more...]
