Review:
“Hey man, do you party?” I’ve been to many different cities, in many parts of the world, and this question is one of those things that means something different wherever you go and to whomever you ask. In some places, “partying” means going on a drinking binge. Other places, it means smoking dope. In L.A, someone who asks you if you party could well be asking you if you want to do cocaine. In Australia, for all I know, it could mean, “do you wanna play naked midget tossing?” Any way you slice it, I’ve done my share of partying (and I even remember some of it), but I’ve never gotten an invite to a party the likes of which these guys film on Hardcore Partying.
House parties are fun but, apparently, if you have the connections that the guys on Hardcore Partying do, house parties are very, very fun. A few guys, a handful of gorgeous girls, some alcohol and no inhibitions make for one hell of a good time on this site. Within five minutes, the girls have lost their clothing and the guys have found themselves in the middle of a scenario that would have made Caligula proud. Call it group sex, call it an orgy, but whatever you want to call it, you know that you wish you were there. Let’s just hope that the website lives up to its billing as the next best thing.
The free tour of Hardcore Partying gives you screen shots and a free preview of the three most recent updates, and also shows you tiny thumbnails of all the other updates that have been posted to the site so far (57 in total so far). And that’s it. The free tour doesn’t give much more information than that, but if you think that watching sexy sluts get it on in a public group setting is hot, then follow me into the members’ section of this party and let’s see what the cover charge gets us. Don’t worry, for now I’ve got you on the guest list.
The members’ section is both identical to the free tour, and radically different. Navigating the site and choosing videos gives us the same tiny thumbnails that we saw on the tour, but all of a sudden we also see that this is a network site that also gives us access to the members’ section of 15 other “reality” sites, including Limo Patrol, Big Sausage Pizza, Cheerleader Auditions, Eat My Black Meat and Big Tit Bangers. Even though there might be less than 60 videos on Hardcore Partying so far, they certainly don’t want you to think that that’s all you get for your money.
My feelings about the videos themselves were mixed like a weird coconut cocktail; they did the job, but I was hoping for something better. The girls were all prime examples of fine pieces of ass and the action was well staged and well shot. There is no doubt that I’d certainly be excited to be invited to one of these parties (hint, hint…) but the quality of the videos themselves was extremely disappointing and, to be frank, a surprise given the new standards that you find on most porn sites these days.
Even at high resolution, the .wmv videos played at a maximum of 320x240, the Quicktime videos even smaller. There is no way to watch these videos full screen without incurring a serious loss of clarity. Furthermore, videos were only available in either one minute or five minute segments, not in full. When a video is 50 minutes long, I don’t want to have to re-buffer or download 10 episodes before I can watch the whole movie. I have no idea why they don’t present an option to get the whole movie at once, but there you go.
Overall, the concept and the action on Hardcore Partying is outstanding, suffering only the limited quantity and low quality of the videos. An average site that can not quite deliver on their potential, if they ever start shooting their scenes in better resolution, it could be one of the more enjoyable sites on the web.
Grade: 74/100
