Me and the old lady went back to Verizon after Optimum decided to jack the prices up by a decent amount after an intro only deal that lasted no more than three months. At least we got a free Kindle Fire out of it.
Now that I have HBO on demand with this package, I decided to get back into Game of Thrones, which I had only seen up to episode five of season one when it debuted in 2011. I started from the first episode but quickly remembered most of what I had seen and the previously on intro that comes on before each episode filled in the blanks so I went ahead to episode six, and am thoroughly enjoying this series so far. I did listen to the the whole book using Audible back in 2011, but seeing these characters brought to life in this amazing world is a real treat. The quality of this show is unrivaled for a TV presentation, and I hope that continues as I go forward watching it. One word of warning though allot of the content is not suitable for a younger crowd, so you have to find a place to watch where you know your kids won't walk in.
I decided to watch "The Texas Chainsaw the Beginning" movie which came out in 2006, and I'm assuming is a prequel to the remake of the original. I watched it off of Amazon prime, figured might as well get some use out of the service. I don't even know where to begin, if your into gore and excessive violence you'll love this one.
Right from the opening scene which involves a heavy woman giving birth to a deformed baby in a butcher factory and then dying I could tell what to expect. The next scene involves the deformed baby being found in a dumpster and being taken in by a crazy looking woman and her cannibalistic family. All this before the opening credits. This movie is not for the faint of heart and I found myself turning away at various times during the movie, these things don't usually get to me but this movie is just plain sick.
I was entertained by it, enough to finish watching to the end, but if I never watch this film again I won't be too sad about it. It's worth a one time watch if your into gory horror flicks but I wouldn't show it to anyone not into the genre.
Downloaded the demo for the Lord of the Rings MOBA style game Defenders of Middle Earth. After the hour trial decided it was worth getting. Really enjoying this League of Legends like game play on the console. It's a little more simplified in some ways, but still requires good team work and strategy to win. Only real drawback I could say is the wait times to get into a game can be up to five minutes in my experience, and most games are a bit laggy. However I think in time when the bugs get worked out this can be a great game, and definitely shows these games can be done on the consoles.
