Eh Oh! Canada Noooo!

          Hey everyone, if you didn't have time to catch Team Canada in the World Junior Hockey Championship game you can relive it through twitter. If you're interested in seeing how the glory of a nation was lost please follow along with the pictures, and comments below! Enjoy!
*Feel free to click the links I've posted along the way (a small window will pop up... so you can understand what I'm talking about!)

Part 1:

As you can see here, I started with a nice tumblr post of my living room TV, and a cold glass of beer poured (in a Team Canada cup) ready to watch the boys bring home the gold, or so I thought. I couldn't help but make fun of last years chant "Eh oh, Canada Go!" (a shameful marketing ploy by Pepsi-Canada).

Part 2:

As Canada absolutely dominated the Russians early in the first period, the Russians somewhat resembled Bambi slipping on ice.

Part 3:

Team Canada Hockey showed off some of their technology by using 3D animation replays, little red circles under players (like NHL 2002 for PS2), really quite humerous compared to what the NFL can do!

Covert Salesman.

      
          Instead of blogging about another bad movie I watched, I thought I would let you in on a little secret. Netflix is amazing. As an avid movie watcher who is a regular at the Galaxy, and just about every torrent website, I can never seem to find enough movies. Currently I download movies direct and watch them through a Playstation 3, or stream them on my laptop. And so far it’s worked out pretty decent. But sometimes I don’t want the inconvenience of having to look for movies, and wait for them to download. Having a digital library of new and old movies would be much more efficient and enjoyable. So where can I find an online collection of movies, that won’t take long to download and that I can watch on more than my PS3?

           Well, after chatting with my friend Blake about movies, he mentioned a company called Netflix (aren’t they the guys who rent DVDs via snail-mail?). And at first I thought he was trying to ‘haggle’ me, like some sort of covert salesman. He made it seem too good to be true... so I was a little hesitant to try it out. “There’s a 30 day free trial” he said, “You won’t be disappointed.”

           ”Something tells me that this guy is definitely working for Netflix, but maybe I’ll give it a try” I thought to myself.

           Within 30 seconds of being on the Netflix website, I’m streaming movies instantly in HD for free (and no I'm not a Netflix salesman). I landed myself the 30 day free trial, and have every device in the house streaming movies and TV shows.  If I decided to keep it after the trial, it’s going to set me back a whopping $8.00 a month. My roommates have agreed to each pitch in2 bucks monthly (legal agreement pending), so it’s actually insanely affordable.

           At the end of the day Netflix has a bunch of pros, and a few cons. Pros: cheap, high quality, fast streaming movies, on up to 6 unique devices (iphone, laptop, ps3, etc). Cons: there’s not a huge library (but it changes monthly), accepts credit card/ pay-pal only, and my roommates likely won’t pay me... but I know where they live J

           Also, Blake isn’t (and wasn’t?) a Netflix salesman.
