Singularity PS3 game



This is a fucking great game, a thinking First Person Shooter, a innovative and interesting story, dynamic movements, violence and fun.

Highly recommended.

Creative Destruction mini reviews (update 6) Glenfiddich 12yr old Scotch



My dear Dad (who is Scottish born) bought me a bottle of 12yo Glenfiddich.

Above is a 15yo, but the 12yo still makes a killer 'Rob Roy' Manhattan, still Glenfiddich should be drunk neat and NO ice!!! Jeez... otherwise a highlander would stick a fucking sword through your head!

Creative Destruction mini reviews (update 5) Bacardi Premium Back Rum


Actually this isn't too bad. Nice woody taste, full flavored, smooth rum. No complaints, trying this in a Voodoo cocktail (replacing the Blanco Tequila) tonight. Once tried I will post results and recipe.

Creative Destruction mini reviews (update 5) Taskmaster #1 (Marvel)



Finally Taskmaster gets his own comic. Great charterer, in my opinion, a benchmark for the male anti-hero. No victim, whinny, wimpy stuff here. Just a gun for hire that is all about trying to get 'some'.

Taskmaster's skill is that he remembers techniques/moves by other fighters/super heroes, a physical/mental reflex that is remembered once copied from an adversary. Problem is this skill has pushed out his other memories, the important ones. Like where does he come from? As Taskmaster has forgotten his pass. Writer Fred Van Lente gets the story going and keeps it straight to the point, witty with a enough 'pulp' in for good measure. The art by Jeff Paleo maintains the action and dynamics of the story.

All and all a very good start to hopefully will be a consistent run for the Taskmaster character.

Creative Destruction mini reviews (update 4) ZUBROWKA Bison - Polish Vodka




Smells nice (kinda), with the Bison (one strand) grass in the bottle. But this is a ruff vodka, Luksusowa kills this. Not impressed as a sipper, not bad as a mixer. Overall a gimmicky, cheap tasting product. Pass this for a quality Vodka.

You want to impress your date for the night who aspires to sip chilled vodka ala Martini (although Gin is Martini...but what she wants, right?), don't order this one.

Creative Destruction mini reviews (update 3) El Senrio Mezcal


This is nice, smooth with that distinct Mezcal smoky flavour, or as some mixologists like to say 'herbaceous'. Mezcal is a different from Tequila (although both come from the Agave plant) in the sense the very strong smoke flavour renders the drink almost useless for cocktails. As the Tequila has a smooth (better quality Tequila's) and more palatable as a cocktail base (re: Margarita). But, Mescal can be mixed, you just have to use your brain (not in the the cocktail!) and some creative ideas.

Remember the worm in the bottle is a Mezcal not Tequila.

Creative Destruction mini reviews (update 2)



Not a big fan of vodka, but this Polish vodka (Luksusowa) is very good. Fresh tasting/smell (i.e not paint stripper), easy to drink (neat) and excellent to mix with. A quality Vodka.

Excellent for Vodka based Martini's (Luksusowa chills very well) and other vodka based cocktails.

Creative Destruction mini reviews (update 1)



Gran Centenario Reposado. Here we go, this is the best Tequila I have tasted to date! Amazingly smooth, nice hint of spice, sweet agave taste is there (very important), floral (nose).

Not for mixing. Drink it straight in a sipper, double shot glass or aperitif glass. With a side glass of Sangrita.

Although you could make a killer Margarita, or Tequila Ricky with Gran Centenario Reposado, because it is such a premium tasting Tequila.

Excellent.

crazy cocktails - The Brain Hemmorhage

I like cocktails, I make them and I drink them and I serve them to guests.

The variety and choices of different cocktails is amazing; but the fundamental and extremely important factor is 1. You use premium spirits/liqueurs 2. Fresh Fruit and juices

There are some funky, messed up ones that work very well hence the Brain Hemorrhage cocktail.

Below are some pics of the Brain Hemorrhage (that I prepared):




15mil (or 1/2 ounce) of Peach Schnapps ( quality German spirit with no suger/not US made)

30 mil (of 1 ounce) of Baileys Irish Cream

Strawberry Liqueur like Creme De Framboise (French)

In a shot class add the Peach Schnapps first then layer the Irish cream (use a bar spoon to layer), next dribble the strawberry liqueur's over the Baileys Irish cream. Due to the Liqueur's heavy sugar content it should fall directly to the bottom on the shot class (beneath the Schnapps)

The out come will resemble a piece of brain floating in a shot glass with it's juices/blood.

The taste? Great! The Peach Schnapps mixed with the Baileys Irish Cream and the strawberry liqueur all complement each other very well.

Creative Destruction mini reviews

Aliens Vs Predator (P3 game)

Fuck what a crappy game. Short missions, terrible controls and a overenthusiastic mess by the creators. To think that the butnuts at the Australian Classification Review Board wanted to ban this for it's 'shocking' content. Bizarre.

Bioshock 2 (P3 game)

Boring, tedious and silly.
