The Review
High Octane is one the latest sites to be added to the Pistol Media catalogue of gay porn sites. These are the same folks that brought us Hot Barebacking and Fisting Central. Their focus has always been on masculine and muscular men, and they don't dissapoint us here with High Octane. You won't see any solo scenes here, just so you know. This is all about duo, trios and orgies with plenty of cocksucking, rimming and fucking to be had. As of this review, there are 107 action packed videos all featuring sensational looking men in duos, trios and sometimes orgies together. They come in both a downloadable WMV, as well as streaming WMV and flash formats. From low to quality to 1500kbps are available. Screen captures from each video are also available, and members can view 118 quality pictures galleries featuring hot men in both solo and hardcore action. Members also get a massive amount of bonuses when signing up, so this is a huge gay porn package indeed.

Inside High Octane the main menu runs at the top of the page. The links are self-explanatory and take us to wherever we like on the site. The main content area runs under the menu and to the left. Each area is listed as such: Latest News, Latest Video Scenes, Latest Photo Set, Latest Action Photo Set, Latest Model, Latest Bonus Site Updates and what's coming soon. In a right sidebar we have the Most Popular Updates, Live Octane - Bonus Members Cam Show, links to your Favorites, members special ads for access to Dark Thunder and Thug Orgy, and links to the 6 bonus sites you get access to with a membership to High Octane.

At the time of this review, there are 107 videos inside High Octane. 27 pages list 4 on each page with thumbnails linking to each video's own page. Numbered links at the top and bottom of each listing page is available for navigation. Members may view each video in either a streaming context at these bitrates and formats: 38kbps to 700kbps in wmv and 38kbps to 768kbps in flash. All are at a screen resolution of 640x480, but can also be viewed in full screen mode. However, they do lose some quality when done so. Also available are wmv downloads for each video. These are available at a bitrate of 713kbps and a screen resolution of 640x480. DRM is used on the downloadable videos. I would say the quality is good from my personal perspective with these videos, but the streaming options are much clearer. The action is caught well in the videos and out of 5 videos I viewed, all had men who were quite good looking and right into the action at hand.

Although the videos are all of at least two men getting it on, High Octane does contain solo photo sets in their collection. Currently there are 63 solo photo sets and 53 action photos sets to view. With an average of 40 pics per gallery, portrait images are seen at 600x900px and landscapes at a resolution of 900x600px. These are good quality pics and capture the action well. Sometimes they are a bit repetitious, but for the most part are entertaining. On each video page inside High Octane there are also matching screen captures ranging in size from 532x374px to 640x428px. 20 images are available in each set. I found some of the screen captures to be of poor quality, however, they do capture the action better than a lot of the actual photos. Both types of images are viewable in a flash gallery with a slideshow option. You may save each image individually to your computer, but there are no zip files available to download.

Think muscle, sometimes hairy, and always masculine men and that's what you get for models at High Octane. Most are quite well hung too. I would consider the men good looking to gorgeous from my own personal tastes. You will find black and latino men as well as white studs if you like a variety of men to check out. Sucking, rimming and fucking are the main themes here. High Octane aims to get a hot fire burning in our groins and with the content here they do that for the most part. These men love what they do for a living and the action in the videos certainly lets us know that.

High Octane is yet another very good hardcore gay porn site on the Pistol Media network. As is usually the case with their sites being exclusive, DRM is in place for their downloadable videos. If this bothers you though, the streaming videos are quite good and provide for great entertainment value. While High Octane still needs to experience some growth in their catalogue, they are updating weekly on a consitent basis. With a membership to High Octane, you also get full access to other exclusive sites on the same network. These are: Twinks, Fisting Central, Rear Stable, Hot Barebacking, and SexGaymes. Also available are once a week live web cam shows, as well as video feeds to 35 more gay porn sites. I certainly recommend High Octane and this huge gay porn package to those who love to see masculine, well hung, muscular hunks fucking their brains out.
