Pleygo Part 5

Hello again everyone. Today i am getting the chance to post about an update to the Pleygo.com Lego brick rental service. I received a new package in the mail yesterday in my mail box. Pleygo.com used a small box to ship Lego sets to it's customers. Based on the package I received yesterday, they are going in the right direction in saving money in shipping cost. The downside as they might find out later is that when kids get these in the mail they are going to rip open these envelopes that need to keep save so it can be used to send back otherwise parents will have to go out a buy new ones to use to for shipping.
One other positive point is that once they received my second set they 3rd in two was shipped out and it was in my mail box it just two days, a vast improvement to my first set. So I quickly put my set together and took it back apart bag it up and sent it back this morning to see a more accurate turnaround time for it. This will give my a a reason to keep my account or to cancel it based on the shipping of sets. If I can get a good turn around time I might just upgrade my membership from SuperFan to MegaFan. but only time will tell. Here are a few pictures of the package and set.

Z Day live game play

The following is from a kickstarter like site called pozible that is requesting money to start a zombie war zone.

Z DAY to view videos and to give money. We also need to have this done over here in the US. To me it looks like a great idea.

Z DAY CONCEPT & GAMEPLAY


Z DAY is a Live Action Role Playing Event that will be held in Sydney in 2013. If you've played video games like ‘Left 4 Dead’ and ‘DAYZ’, been addicted to TV Shows like ‘The Walking Dead’ and can't wait to see movies like ‘World War Z’ then you are going to love Z DAY!

This is a physical outdoor open world experience played on a 70 acre property in Sydney. Once you drive through our gates you will be immersed into a post apocalyptic landscape. It'll be like playing a 3D video game but everything that happens will be real and not virtual! The action and events will be unscripted. We will set up some parameters and missions but the rest will be up to you and your fellow players and every session has the potential to be different.

The setting is a world ravaged by a previously unknown virus. Once the virus broke out into the general population it quickly spread to create a global pandemic. Although vast areas and huge numbers of population have been lost to the infection, governments have been able to establish small containment lines known as Safe Havens. These last bastions are strongly guarded and remain the last hope of humanity. Outside the Safe Havens lie the Quarantine Zones and it is here that you will pick up the plot and play your role in Z DAY.

PLEYGO Part 4

I have been charged the next month's charge. I chose the $25 "SuperFan" that allows me to select sets from the "Fan" and "SuperFan" sets. It took me some time to get my first set as you can see in my first set of Pleygo entries. Just days before I was charge for my second month, I received my second set. both sets were from the "Fan" sets and I have yet to receive a set from the "SuperFan" selection. I still think this is a good service but they need to add more sets to choose from. I still have the second set as I have not had time to sit and put it together. that will change today, for I will be heading to Disney's Animal Kingdom on the 5th of July. If there is anything that you want me to check on for you while I'm there just let me know.

I will be tweeting and instagraming while I'm there.

Also once again to the people who work for Pleygo, let me know if you need someone to run the distribution center from SC.

World War Z movie review

Well it's been a couple of weeks since I was able to get on the computer to give my thoughts on the latest Brad Pitt movie "World War Z". I'm going to review without giving too much information to spoil the movie for you. I've read other reviews that compare this movie to other "Zombie" style movie and they don't give it a chance on it's own. If you have read the book you know it's a different style all together. This movie does not go in to the gore zone with Zombie slashing and heads rolling like scenes from AMCs The Walking Dead. But the movie does keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for what around the corner. There is a lot of action that takes place so watch each character you encounter. The money numbers are not as strong on the first weekend of release, but I'm sure Blu-Ray and DVD sales will exceed expectations. This is a movie that needs to be seen more than once and talked about for some time. This is a movie that involves the skill of thinking. trying to solve the problem before and seeing the connections that Brad's character. It will also make you read the book to get more information. It is a different type of "Zombie" for new fans.

Well worth the time and money to see it.
