Choose Your Adventure Movies

Reviews · 

The age of information has provided citizens with an endless amount of options when it comes to being entertained. Many children have reduced play time outside to interact with friends through screens and other remote experiences. After a long day at work, various adults hit the couch and continue binge-watching classic shows. With the internet being available virtually everywhere in the United States, it is difficult to reach a state of boredom. With this being so, streaming giants such as Netflix have taken liberty in completely changing users view content. Last winter, a choose your adventure movie was released on this platform and received critical acclaim. Since this movie was successful, Netflix is planning on releasing more choose your adventure styled content down the line. For film producers such as David Guillod, these developments may change how Hollywood does business.

Choose Your Adventure – Theatrical Releases

Bandersnatch is a film with over one trillion possible scenarios available at your fingertips. Many people have viewed this film countless times to create a flow chart of the endless possibilities present in this movie. For the casual television viewer, seeing this film more than once may not be appealing. However, since this film was available through Netflix, if you wanted to undergo multiple viewings, the only cost attributed to this plan was your Netflix subscription. However, film producers have yet to attempt this viewing style in the form of theatrical releases. Most movie theatres already have mobile applications where users can play games based on content appearing before previews.

These applications could potentially help film producers bring these types of films to the theatre. During critical moments throughout the film, users could somehow vote based on multiple choices, and this would create a unique experience for film-goers. Film-goers who saw different viewings could compare and contract the film experience based on the choices the audience made. The possibility of someone getting upset during the film because a particular option was not selected is, of course, a possibility. Film producers could ensure that all possible endings and choice would be available once the film is released elsewhere.

Choose Your Adventure – Streaming Services

For the time being, these types of movies may prove to be more accessible through streaming services. The ability to immediately revisit a film after selecting a specific choice would make this easier for most to navigate. Some people do not have the time or financial means to go to the movie theatre to possibly experience the same set of choices as the previous viewing. Bandersnatch is undoubtedly proof of concept and became a phenomenon over social media platforms also. Social platforms such as Reddit or Twitter allow film enthusiasts to create long threads about choices made in this film. Online communities pool data together and assess different flows that may have flown under the radar. When film producers are unable to access certain types of content when previewing a movie, you know there is a lot to unpack throughout multiple sittings. As screen time increases across the board, users may begin to demand these types of extensive experiences.

You Too can be outside and watch T.V. With SunBrite

Reviews · 

#OutdoorTV #OutdoorLiving #AllWeatherTV #DigitalSignage

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BestBuy. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

I love being outdoors but for me it can be pretty boring as I do not do any sports activities or any strenuous things at all. I just sit there so watching T.V. in the great outdoors just makes sense to me but who makes a T.V. that I can do that with?……Let me introduce you to SunBrite TVs .

 SunBrite is a maker of top rated outdoor t.v.’s and weatherproof televisions. No need to be worried about the sun affecting your viewing experience? No need as they make full shade, partial sun and full sun outdoor t.v.’s. They are brighter than a regular t.v., Weatherproof (protection against snow, rain, insects, humidity), Weatherproof cable connections, and a warranty that’s valid for outdoor use. Some specs I love:

  • Weatherproof TV built for full-shade outdoor living areas
  • Powder-coated rust-proof aluminum exterior protects internal components from rain, snow, dust, insects, humidity, and salt air.
  • Up to 50% brighter than indoor TVs for improved viewing in brighter outdoor environments.
  • 4K UHD with HDR
  • Large weatherproof media bay makes cable connections easy. It has plenty of storage room for many popular media players, and thick gaskets seal out moisture and the elements
  • Available in 43”, 55”, 65” and 75” sizes

Whether you want to host a fun family movie night outside, or have an outdoor party featuring the big game, the Veranda Series of SunBriteTVs is ready to make your favorite outdoor space a real destination. Watching TV outside is fun!

The Veranda Series of SunBriteTVs are designed specifically for outdoor use. They are engineered to survive just about any climate in North America, resisting the harsh effects of rain, snow, dust, insects, and extreme temperatures.

The SunBriteTV Veranda is a family of weatherproof televisions designed for full-shade outdoor spaces, like covered patios and screened-in porches.

Veranda comes standard with a direct-lit 4K UHD screen with HDR, which is up to 50% brighter than indoor TVs for improved viewing in brighter outdoor environments. It’s more durable, safer, and a better experience that using an indoor TV outdoors. Now, the best seat in the house is outside.

Now you can impress your family and friends by inviting them over for such things as to watch the big game outside, Catch that must see episode of The Bachelorette or even that cooking show that has all the neighbors buzzing about. This t.v. will pay for itself twice over. You can go HERE to purchase one for your very own.

SunBrite is changing the game when it comes to t.v’s.

9 Tips To Make The Most Out Of Your Weekend

Reviews · 

You look forward to the weekend, and when it finally rolls around, you are often times at a loss over how to spend your time. This often happens when you have too many options available, and you have a hard time choosing simply one. That is what this article is here for.

Here are 9 different activities that will help you make the most out of your time on the weekend, and you will even walk away feeling more inspired than ever before. This includes playing games with loved ones, planning a road trip, relaxing with a good book, cooking with your family, and much more. Continue reading for more information.

  1. Play games with friends and family members

Playing games with your friends and family members is always time well spent. This will challenge your mind, and it will even provide you with the perfect bonding experience that none of you are going to forget anytime soon.

As one option, you could always bring out board games and make it a tradition to play family game night, or alternatively, you could invest in more technologically advanced games, such as purchasing games for the game-boy handheld system.

You can learn more here about what options you have for purchase, and you could take turns playing, while the winner is naturally the individual with the highest score.

  1. Plan a road trip

When was the last time that you went anywhere on the weekend? You will undoubtedly have at least a few friends or family members that are free and can join you, and planning a road trip is always a worthwhile venture.

You don’t need to go far, you simply need to make sure that you have accommodation booked if you don’t want to return home for the day. So long as you do enough research, you are bound to find a natural park, or something else that will pique your interest to drive out to.

  1. Relax with a good book

Reading is important for your mental clarity, and there is no better time for catching up on it than over the weekend. When was the last time that you read a book that you felt changed your perspective on a subject, for instance?

If it has been so long that you can’t pinpoint the time, but are at a loss over what to read, consider picking up a book off the best seller’s list, and make it a point to read at least a few chapters over the weekend, until you finally finish it.

  1. Cook with your family

The type of food that you eat affects both your mental and physical wellbeing, and cooking with your family is thus a good educational experience, and moreover can teach you to live a healthier lifestyle.

After you cook together, it’s equally important that you sit down together for dinner, as well.

  1. Visit a spa or take a bathcooking 

Depending on your budget, consider visiting a spa, or simply taking a bath over the weekend to help you detox.

Invest in some bubble bath or bath bombs if you are taking the bath inside your home, put on some music, and let your mind drift to happy thoughts.

Even getting a massage, while at the spa, will help you focus on the present moment, as opposed to anything else. This will be incredibly beneficial for your mental health, and thereby maintaining a peaceful state.

  1. Go on a hike

Spending more time outdoors is a great way to spend time with your loved ones, and moreover for your overall health. If you don’t want to take a car to go somewhere far, you can simply get to your hike via public transportation, or alternatively, take a walk in the park if all of the aforementioned is outside of your reach on this particular weekend.

You will always feel more creatively inspired after spending some time outside, and this will benefit you throughout the weekday as well, for work and school alike.

  1. Catch up with friends

Friends are important people in your life, and thus, you need to spend quality time with them.

If it’s been too long that you can’t remember when you caught up last, it’s time to give some of them a call.

Even if you simply invite them over to your house, it’s always beneficial for everyone to talk about one another’s lives and spend some quality bonding time together.

If you had a particularly bad week, for instance, you will no doubt need your friends, as they are your rock, so that you can vent to them and above all, enjoy their good company.

  1. Watch a movie or television series

If you are often too busy to watch a movie or another television series over the weekday, then the best time to do this is at the end of the week.

However, make sure that you don’t get so caught up with a new television series that you forget to get up off your couch over the span of a whole day or two, as this will only harm your health and wellbeing.

  1. Volunteer

Volunteering for a cause that you believe in also offers a wide array of benefits, and it’s the perfect weekend activity. There are always organizations that are looking for helping hands, and it’s the perfect opportunity for you to meet other likeminded individuals, and it simply helps make you happier.

For some, volunteering even helps combat depression and it can certainly help provide you with a sense of purpose, or at the very least a general direction for it. It can teach you valuable job skills, particularly when it comes to elevating communication and leadership skills.

It’s important that you use your weekend wisely, in that you participate in activities that will help you relax. This is especially critical if you are often an anxious or stressed individual, regardless of whether it’s a result of work or school. The tips and tricks outlined here are bound to never leave you bored for even a second.
