Transformers Free To Own Google Play Store

Plan on having latest podcast uploaded later today or tomorrow, but wanted to get this info out while available. To celebrate the three year anniversary of the Google play store they are offering the first Transformers film as a free download, just go to the play store look under movies and you should be able to find it easy enough. While I'm not the biggest fan of those films, free is free and if you have any young kids in the family I'm sure they will enjoy seeing giant robots battling it out. I don't know how long the offer will last so act quick.

Back on Track

After a week with no internet, and battling a cold the B Man is back and finally gets this episode uploaded. This week B goes over news stories including Stallone movies in the works, Bilbo's Wifi Sword, Playstation Now subscription, and Batman V Superman trailer coming soon. Also B talks about what he's watched and been playing lately including The Equalizer, GTA5, Halo, and more.

Playstation TV

For some reason my audio recording of this bit of news is not showing up in regular podcast feeds, so for a while the only place to get a taste of the Bman will be through his blog, or maybe a little youtube. That being said in this audio post I'm going to tell you a bit about a cool little device coming out from Sony.

Google Play Music

Google Play music is an app by Google on android devices, and I never used it or even knew it exsisted until this past week when I got an email from the play store about an update including an all you can eat on demand music service for $9.99 a month. Part of the promotion is thirty days free to try it out, and if you sign up now they will give it to you at an introductory price of $7.99 a month. So I put in my credit card info and signed up for the service. Of course after signing up I quickly canceled the monthly renewal just in case I don't want to keep it I wouldn't want to get charged because I lost track of yet another subscription service I have ongoing.

Okay so the price seems right but is the service any good? Hell yeah! It's just like another service I had used in the past Spotify, although I cancelled that a while back and I heard they started to limit how many times you could listen to a certain song in a given month. With Play Music they advertise no such limits and their selection is quite impressive. There has yet to be one song I searched for that was not available. Another cool feature is I can use the voice search feature from google now to find a song and start playing it. Of course this feature just like google now works best on wifi or 4G but still it's cool and works quite well. For instance I asked Google Now to play Flash's Theme by Queen and within seconds I listening. In addition to playing on demand music they also have stations similar to Pandora.

So Google Play Music gets my praises without question, but will I be keeping it? To be honest that depends on how much I use it over the thirty day trial. I already pay for Pandora One at the yearly rate of Twenty some odd dollars and to pay $8 a month for another music service may not be worth it unless I really use the on demand feature allot. Yes over the past couple days I have been using it allot but I don't know if I listen to enough music these days to justify it. However if you don't own allot of music this is a great way to be introduced to whatever you want for one low monthly rate. Me I'm still stuck in the past and pretty much listen to same five bands I have for over a decade Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio, Queen, and Metallica and I already have most CD's from these bands, but it's cool to not have to use up my phones memory and have any song I want available with a quick search. In closing I say at least give the trial a chance, just remember to cancel the service before next bill date. For more info check out the official site on the Play Store.

Child's Play 2

Hey wanna B's haven't had much to write about since iron man 3 this past weekend. Last night I decided to watch child's play 2 off of Netflix. Yes the movie is from 1990 so it is more than a few years old but I had nothing else to watch, and nothing else to talk or write about so here we are.

It's  funny how cheesy horror movies were back in the 90's and child's play 2 is at the top. I mean a puppet looking doll that comes to life and kills people while cursing is as cheesy as it gets. Still there is something entertaining about these movies that I just cant find in the horror movies of today. Now I don't remember exactly how the first one ended but I could have sworn the mother survived as well as the cop helping her and of course Andy the main character of the first three films. I guess things didn't work out too well after the credits as Andy is now being put into foster care and they pretty much think he's a messed up little kid who made up the story as a way of coping with the murders that took place in the original.

For some odd reason the company that makes the dolls that Chucky took possession of thought it would be a good idea to melt down the original doll and use the plastic to create a new doll. Now I know everyone is worried about global warming and we are all trying to do our part in recycling, but why even take a chance in using the old doll? Even during the reconstructing phase a worker is killed during a malfunction, yet they still go forward, I mean I'm not exactly superstitious but why take the chance? Oh wait, I know why, because we wouldn't have a movie otherwise, not to mention countless sequels equalling boatloads of cash since. Another thing that didn't really make sense was how easily the doll was able to find Andy once he escaped, he knew exactly what place to call and all he had to say was that he was uncle Charles and was looking for Andy and the lady gave up the information so easily, guess they didn't have confidentiality laws back in the 90's.

Okay so putting aside the stupidities of why people do what people do in these horror films, it was still relatively enjoyable for what it was. The doll itself is always fun to watch, maybe I'm a sicko, but watching a doll kill people in stupid ways while cursing and wise cracking is kind of entertaining to me, but I guess I'm not alone or they wouldn't have kept making these. The young Andy played by Alex Vincent is pretty good for his age, minus a scene where he's supposed to be knocked unconscious but you see his eyes constantly moving. It was a fun watch and is available on Netflix so didn't cost me anything to watch, I remember the third film being my favorite, but this one is still worthy of at least a one time viewing.
