Bottom Shelf Mixology Episode 5: Bern Down For What

Welcome to the Bottom Shelf Mixology™ video series!  Our staff of Mixologists have decided it would be a good idea to actually test our special "bottom shelf" recipes.  What have we done?



This is the second of our 2016 Presidential Candidate Drinks after Mr. Sanders Fudge himself. Will Princess Bernie lead us through the woods or will the Bottom Shelf Crew get trapped in the brush?

Yes, we know he's effectively done running, but we still wanted to do the drink.  Mostly because we had it planned out before the California Primary.


You can check out the recipe here if you are daring enough.

This is Sherry (Linksliltri4ce) from The Legend of Cosplay signing off for PB&Awesome.
Until next time: Hut!  HYAAA!

Review: Fruity Crisp & Blueberry Pie Oreos

It is officially summer, and of course that means we are getting new flavors of different snack food!  This year, the folks at Nabisco decided to release two new Oreo flavors.  When these were both announced, I was immediately excited for both of them, and after waiting for my local Target to get their exclusive flavor in stock, I have finally found them both!

 Fruity Crisp & Blueberry Pie Oreo

Yes, Fruity Crisp and Blueberry Pie were the new flavors of choice.  Blueberry Pie Oreos are only available at Target, while the Fruity Crisp flavor is more widely available.  Well, they are supposed to be, but I haven't seen them anywhere since I found them near the beginning of the month.

And yes, I have been waiting a few weeks to write my review on them because I didn't have the other new flavor yet.

How about no more waiting, and we get right to it?

RiffTrax Live: Mothra Coming August 18 [UPDATED]

We are just under a week away from the RiffTrax Live MST3K Reunion show, but we now know what the next RiffTrax Live show will be!  Keep in mind, this wasn't officially announced yet (presumably the announcement will be made during the reunion show), but the listing has made its way on to a few different theater websites.  This information is usually right, but as with anything that hasn't been officially announced, take this with a grain of salt.  Just in case.

UPDATE: This upcoming sow was officially announced during the Live Reunion show on June 28.


Yes, the classic monster movie Mothra is the next live show!  This will be broadcast across the United States (and hopefully Canada too) on August 18.


And if I had to wager a guess, this one should also be available as a VoD in October.

We will update this story if/when it is announced next week!

I bet you've always wanted some official PB&A gear - so go grab some! It's now available on Redbubble!

No, seriously. You'll be like, the coolest kid in town sporting one of our awesome t-shirts!  They'll say, "Look at that PB and AWESOME dude, bro!  I wish I was as rad."  Yup.  Exactly how that will go down.

You're still reading this.  Why aren't you heading over to https://www.redbubble.com/people/PB-and-awesome/shop and grabbing a shirt? Go ahead. We'll wait.

Bottom Shelf Mixology Episode 4: Whiskey Split

Welcome to the Bottom Shelf Mixology™ video series!  Our staff of Mixologists have decided it would be a good idea to actually test our special "bottom shelf" recipes.  What have we done?


We have made a terrible mistake.  The Whiskey Split is easily one of the worst drink recipes we have created.

Seriously, don't ever try this one unless you enjoy pain.  Even then, I wouldn't recommend this one.

Instead, you can enjoy watching us suffer!

E3 2016 - Nintendo Treehouse/Demo Predictions and Live Reaction



Hey everyone! This is Sherry (aka: Linksliltri4ce) here doing the live blog reaction to this year’s Nintendo E3 Event!

We're going to start off with some predictions that I'd at least like to see this year.  Now we all know Nintendo's current press schedule:
June 14
  • More of The Legend of Zelda in Miitomo: Miitomo will continue its celebration of The Legend of Zelda with a themed Miitomo Drop game that will give players the chance to win The Legend of Zelda-themed in-app gear for their Mii character. Players will also be able to use Miitomo coins inMiitomo to purchase The Legend of Zelda collaboration items. An additionalThe Legend of Zelda collaboration gift will be available on the My Nintendo website, and players can exchange their My Nintendo Platinum Points for this item.
  • Nintendo Treehouse: Live – Day 1: Nintendo’s kickoff to the E3 trade show begins at 9 a.m. PT, with an introduction by Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime and the world’s first look at live gameplay of The Legend of Zelda game for the Wii U console. Viewers can also catch the first live gameplay of the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon games. Watch Nintendo Treehouse: Live via Nintendo’s channels on YouTube and Twitch, as well as on  http://e3.nintendo.com.
  • Nintendo eShop sale: Starting at 11 a.m. PT until 8:59 a.m. PT on June 21, Nintendo is offering discounts on some of its most popular games as a special treat for fans. My Nintendo members who are signed in will also get a special bonus if they buy select games included in the sale. Anyone who hasn’t signed up for My Nintendo yet is encouraged to do so now to avoid the E3 rush. To get the extra discount, My Nintendo members must link their Nintendo Account to their Nintendo Network ID and access Nintendo eShop on their device at least once before they make a purchase. The discounted games can be purchased in Nintendo eShop or at http://e3.nintendo.com. Details about the discounts can also be found athttp://e3.nintendo.com.                                        
June 15
  • Nintendo Treehouse: Live – Day 2: Starting at 10 a.m. PT, the Nintendo Treehouse: Live programming will showcase upcoming Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games, including Monster Hunter Generations from Capcom, Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. The day will start with a special Pokémon GO developer Q&A. Watch all of Nintendo’s action from the E3 show floor via Nintendo’s channels onYouTube and Twitch, as well as on  http://e3.nintendo.com.

For more information about Nintendo’s activities at E3, visithttp://e3.nintendo.com.
While I, for one, am super stoked about seeing SOMETHING on the new Zelda title for the WiiU (and possibly the console known as the NX), I would hope Nintendo is planning on showing us a little more than Zelda and Pokemon Sun and Moon on the show floor.  Nintendo's Day 2 Treehouse lineup is looking over some upcoming 3DS titles.  Knowing Nintendo they haven't told us all their plans for the two events just yet.  I am hoping to see snippets or teasers of other possible upcoming WiiU titles (just because I don't want to see the WiiU die just yet.)  Nintendo has made it clear that there will be no news on the NX, even though it's been hinted that the new Zelda title will launch in March 2017 alongside the NX.  This year is the 30th Anniversary for The Legend of Zelda and compared to its 25th Anniversary, this year has been a little lack luster.  I would like to some news possibly on Metroid, Splatoon, or even a new IP.  We shall see!  The event starts at 9AM Pacific Standard Time (it will be 12PM here in Eastern Standard Time.)

Review: Beverage Flavored Pop-Tarts


The three newest flavors of Pop-Tarts have been unleashed upon humanity, and after a bit of hunting, I finally got my hands on all three.  I kind of wish I hadn't.

Bottom Shelf Mixology Episode 3: The Drumpf

Welcome to the Bottom Shelf Mixology™ video series!  Our staff of Mixologists have decided it would be a good idea to actually test our special "bottom shelf" recipes.  What have we done?


Join Me, the unpaid intern Eric, and our special guest Bottom Shelf Russ as we test out The Drumpf.

The Drumpf was the first of our three presidential candidate themed drinks, and much like Trump himself, the opinions of it were pretty split.
