ASS BLASTER HOT SAUCE

One has to respect a hot sauce that's tastefully presented to you in a wooden box made to look like a charming little outhouse.
Arizona's Southwest Specialty Foods' Ass Blaster Hot Sauce certainly lives up to it's name when it's comes to it's mercilessly violent repercussions.  Made with a carrot vinegar base, Habanero peppers and a Capsicum extract, Ass Blaster's pleases the taste buds with a dry heat for the first 15 seconds and then it takes you for everything you've got if you're not careful.  After you've tried it once you'll know 1 or 2 drops will be all you'll be needing at a time.  My first try, I stupidly doused a generous amount on my food and I actually thought it was going to do some sort of serious damage as I lay coughing on the floor.  I find I enjoy it quite a bit if I add a couple of drops to a tall glass of V8 juice or a pot of homemade beans.
You think it hurt going in, just wait till it decides it's ready to vacate your body.  That delightful little outhouse won't be so funny anymore.

The Legend of Zelda Collection

Only in gaming culture could a silent protagonist who enters your house uninvited, smashes your clay pots and steals your oversized currency become a well-respected and adored legend. Link is that figure. He’s defined solely by his actions, all of which are the result of you, the player.
We don't have every title reviewed, but there's a moderate selection across a number of Nintendo platforms. Some titles even make more than one appearance on our Favourites List. My own personal favourite LoZ moment is also one of my most treasured gaming moments ever.

DX Samurai Gattai Shinken-Oh (2009)


The main Shinkengers’ robo pulls triple-duty, as it manages to function as a complete set of role-play toys, in the form of its five emblem modes, on top of being able to perform many things it’s shown to do on-screen, both united, and as individual animals. While Shishi Origami’s legs cannot rotate to emulate the Gokaku Daikaen, you can holster the Daishinken on either hip, and affix the shield disc to Saru Origami, or store it on Shinken-Oh’s back. One side of the Daishinken is hollowed, but it's hard to complain about two small shortcomings given the many things this had to accomplish simultaneously, and did with excessive precision.

Comparisons between the various releases can be found below the cut.
