So tonight the Carolina Panthers take on the Denver Broncos in what looks to be an epic battle. Broncos have a swarming defense and Cam Newton has been sensational this season despite having lost his big #1 receiver, Kelvin Benjamin.
Predictions? Expectations?
I thoroughly see this as Carolina's game to lose. The stars seemed to have aligned for Cam even though this is his first appearance at the big game... It is also, however, looking like this will be Peyton Manning's LAST trip to the bowl. A lot of people are saying that it should be Peyton because this is his last shot and father time is catching up to him but I'm not on that bandwagon. I think Cam deserves this on what seems like his comeback season after performing so poorly last year with injuries.
I'm rooting for the Panthers and will be watching tonight with my best friend and family.

OMFG Blizzard PWNS Northeast
I live in PA. The southeastern tip to be exact... Right next to Philadelphia. I think I've mentioned before about how I work in Philly. This weekend mother nature decided to throw us a huge curve ball and blanket our entire region and most of the east coast from like DC and up with a blizzard. Not just any blizzard, one that rivaled the on in '96, well almost.
So with over 20 inches on the ground digging the car out just sucked. but at least the main roads are mostly clear. The public transportation service in the area, SEPTA, said that regional rail will be operational tomorrow and I really hope it is. I have to be to work by 7am.
App of the Week!
I'm always checking the app store to see if there are any good deals going on (I'll admit I like downloading apps and games frequently) and this week there was a free game that's usually like $3 bux.
The game is called Lifeline.
The icon for it looks like this
This game seems weird when you start but its got a very strong narrative and the story pulls you in pretty quickly. This game is basically about a person (they leave it abiguous on purpose) who gets stranded by some turn of events on a barren planet/moon with nothing. You basically guide them and give them suggestions in hope they survive...
I'm already in my second play thru... (they died my first time) Hopefully I have more luck this time. We shall see.
If I had to rate this game... 8/10 or 4/5 stars yadda yadda yadda. Basically its pretty good and given the chance you should try it. Even if your not into text based games.

Erased
This new show is a must watch. It's a little off the beaten path for me as I usually stick to action or comedy with a sprinkle of romance but I think this one is like a Sci-fi with drama. I'd have to look it up but it's a really good show.
The synopsis from MAL.
"Struggling manga author Satoru Fujinuma is beset by his fear to express himself. However, he has a supernatural ability of being forced to prevent deaths and catastrophes by being sent back in time before the incident occurred, repeating time until it is prevented. One day, he gets involved in an incident that has him framed as a murderer. Desperate to save the victim, he sends himself back in time only to find himself as a grade-schooler one month before fellow classmate Kayo Hinazuki went missing. Satoru now embarks on a new quest: to save Kayo and solve the mystery behind her disappearance."

Mobile Games
If you're like me then you probably have a bevy of games installed in your mobile device that you could break out at any given moment... Being a gamer really doesn't help much. I'd like to say I only have a couple installed, but the truth of the matter is that its probably close to 20 games installed.
There not all lil rinky dink games like words with friends or angry birds... Although Angry Birds is kind of a big thing in the mobile gaming world. Most of them are RPG related... It seems I'm an RPG junkie... For better or worse I just like the idea of getting stronger to the point that everyone else is irrelevant. There's a few games that kind of sate this desire for me...
Kritika The White Knight [Link]
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time [Link]
Jetpack Fighter [Link]
BattleHand [Link]
Rise of Heroes [Link]
Little Raiders [Link]
Brave Frontier [Link]
These are the games I'm playing right now... There are more but I think these are the RPGs I got running on my phone. There are some other ones like some Tower Defense or TD's that I play plus a few racing type games... but we're only talkin about the RPGs.

New Trailer
So the new Superman v Batman trailer was just released and it's pretty epic. I'm not a big DC fan but I think I may have to go and see this movie.
The trailer shows Clark and Bruce meeting at a party and then proceeding to take pot shots at one another. I don't know if they know each others secret identities or what not because that's not made clear but it's almost hinted at. Action sequences ensue and then the obligatory storm and lightning scene. At the end we're treated to some Wonder Woman.
Even if you're not into super hero movies I think this one might be ok. However, Batman and Superman are two of the most recognizable characters in the media verse. Their clash could be epic. Hopefully the movie doesn't disappoint.

New phone!!!
So I've been android forever and finally decided to pull the trigger. I'm now officially an iPhone owner.
I bought an iPhone 6s Plus 64gb. I like the phone and it's a much better for than the 16 gig iPhone 6 I was rocking. Having a much larger screen helps... I've had large screen phones before but this one seems extra large probably cuz of the big chin and forehead.

The Flash ep 7
Seems this season is just heating up and it seems I've pulled in my best friend. He binge watched season 1 on Netflix and is now relying on my 'ingenuity' to watch this new season.
I like how they are adding in Cisco's ability and I'm happy they've limited the crossovers with the Arrow. Not too fond of that guy really...

New iPhone... Leaving Android
This battle has been waged for a while now and I've been on the android side for most of it. There was a small stint where I had an iPhone but in truth it belonged to my wife and I kind of stole it.
I'll be honest, I went in wanting to hate the phone because from the outside it seemed like Apple had an attitude. They had this air about them that they thought they were better than you. Almost like they turned their nose up at the public and decided to buck the trend and do whatever they felt like and who cared about John Q Public. Hell, one year, we saw the release of 2 separate iPads. Not like a big one and a small one, but two major releases. That's literally a slap in the face of anyone who bought the one from the previous year... or the 2nd release was a slap to anyone who early adopted the iPad from that SAME YEAR! It was banana's... simply put in my opinion. Now, that rant aside and all those facts withstanding, I couldn't hate the phone. As far as being a phone... it worked... and worked well. Sure it wasn't the same size as my galaxy at the time and no I couldn't customize the screen how I wanted but it didn't matter because iOS was very stable. Almost no crashes and there were only certain things that I had to finagle to make work right.
That was roughly 2 or so years ago... Flash forward to 2015 and here we are at the newest version, the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. I'd like to say everything changed but it didn't. The hardware has been upgraded and so is the design (coming from a 5 that is) but the software for the most part functions the same. There have been other things added to spruce up the user experience but at its core it looks and acts just like iOS has in the past. Thats not terrible tho because it reminds me of Chevy, "Like a Rock". Its just as solid and the upgrades are very welcomed...
New is the camera... gone from the 8MP shooter thats been on since the iPhone 4 or 4S. Its upgraded to a 12MP sensor that takes pics on 4:3 instead of 16:9 like most of the galaxy's. 4:3 is your typical printed photo dimensions so... It kinda makes sense. They've added a pressure sensitive touch screen labeled Touch 3D and it enables new interactions with shortcuts and links and photos by letting you get a sneak peek at what in the next screen and deciding if you want to open it or continue on where you were. Most of the internals are also upgraded with new chipsets and bigger batteries and also a new metal back housing thats been reinforced to prevent another 'Bendgate' incident.
All things considered, I've loved my LG G4 and will miss it. I've actually given it to my daughter who was tired of her iPhone 6. We swapped and I'm going to use it for a short while til I get up the money to upgrade and then I'll be buying my first iPhone for myself.

New TV Show
Just started watching a new show on the CW. Already into season 2 and streaming on the web. The Flash is an extraordinary show...and I'm very picky about what super hero shows I put stock in but this one is worth the watch. I binge watched the entire first season in about 4 days... Mostly the daily commute on the rails to work but there was a few times I watched late at nite before bed.
