Thanksgiving

This holiday really means very little to me. Its basically one of those holidays where you just sit down at a table and you eat a good amount and then you want to leave the table. Then your parents are like no sit down and they try to give you more and more food, it becomes somewhat like a prison. You can hear maybe some relatives watching TV or a football game loud in the background, maybe on the radio or a TV nearby, they all just make you want to leave the table quicker. But the prison guards wont let you. They say you have to do good time and maybe they'll let you out for good behavior (also known as eating all of the dinner they made) you see Thanksgiving is one of my least favorite holidays. Its just a downgraded Christmas Vacation. Less time off, less seeing of relatives, same type of food but no ones happen this time of year so it makes the exact same food bad. I dont like Thanksgiving very much and I am glad its over.
Thanks for reading!

Catching Fire Movie Review

This was a quality movie, which followed the book almost to the exact words. Which is good for someone who has not read the book, but bad for anyone who has read the. Book, because then you know exactly what happens, with no surprises. There was the usual jump scare, when the monkeys at 4 o clock screamed. There was the chase scene with the poisonous gas. Then there was the typical scene with character conflict. It was all that could be expected, if one had read the book. This movie was a great movie, but it never really took off to the point that if I needed to go the bathroom I would wait. It never really introduced the characters in the way it needed too. It never said much about Brutus, Enobaria or any of the other careers. I always felt it was missing something compared to the first movie. Which I thought was much better, I would still recommend this to some as this was still, A great movie, it just did not live up to its full expectations


FINAL GRADE: 8.3/10

The Hunger Games:Catching Fire Excitement and My top 5 tributes

For me, this next week will be the most anticipation I've had the entire year. My birthday is on wednesday November 20th, 4 days from now. My favorite book series has been over, for a little over a year and now they are realeasing some of the best movies, with the 2nd one of these Hunger Games movies coming out this friday November 22nd. You know I will be there in the theater anxiously waiting for what I hope is another phenomenal movie. In my opinion, Lionsgate, the company produces the movie and all the actors have done a great job portraying exactly what its like. The scenery, the characters, everything there is just breathtakingly re-inacted. Who knows maybe I'll see some of you at the theater, now I'm going to give you my top 5 favorite tributes from the first 5 books. 

Number 5. Rue

This Girl never gives up, and she can swing through the trees like a monkey and act like its no big deal, thats why Rue is on my list.

Number 4. Finnick 

This guy is just so cool, he kills so many people and he's so ruthless, yet somehow in the books he stays true to himself and his true self is really funny.

Number 3. Thresh

You definitely DO NOT want to be on the wrong side of this 18 year old beast. He's just an absolute tank, who knows so much about survival. In the 74th Hunger Games, he sat in a wheat field and ate wheat while waiting for people to find him and once they found him, they were dead.

Number 2. Clove 

Clove isn't even very scary its just that she's a bit creepy in the way that she just seems like a trained killer with no real emotions or feelings, everyone seems to hate her and I do to and thats why she's on the list.

Number 1. Cato

There isn't much of an introduction needed, he's a soulless killer

who does it for fun and wont take no for an answer. In Hunger

Games 74 he was so excited when he got picked, which 

shows, you do not want to be in an arena with him.

Top 5 shows the need to be Watched

5. Homeland
I dont really know much about this show other than it must be a real classic, because everyone I know over the age of 20 seems to be hooked. There was an early release of season 2 on showtime, where you could access it if you played a few games and did a few surveys. A few people I know were so hooked on the show that they did all of that and started to watch it! All I know is that this clearly has to be above and beyond because my mom and dad who rarely watch TV are hooked. Maybe check it out sometime... Onto number 4!

4. The Voice 
I love it! The concept of it is so cool. So basically its a singing show thats completely revamped by having the auditions be blind. Here's how it works, someone gets invited onto the show and then does a blind audition in front of the 4 coaches and sings and if they like him/her they turn around regardless if they know what they look like or not. They could be looking to fill their final spot on their team with a girl and they hit their button and its a guy with a really high voice! Lots of surprises and you can hop into the show right now as it is under way right as we speak!

3. Psych

I dont know if you have even heard of this show, but this show has got to be one of my favorite shows. The plot-line is basically about a detective who claims to be "psychic" so that he can get out of jail but it ends up turning out that they believe him because he has an amazing gift for solving crime! If you have ever looked for that show with the right mix of humor and seriousness. This is your show!


2. Modern Family
No matter if it gets the highest comedy ratings in the world... I still think it should be ranked higher. This show is so funny! Every single moment has you roaring with laughter! Except those movies where they slip in family moments. It really is a very accurate depiction of a Modern Family.

1. And finally..... Number 1 is... 
    The Walking Dead!
This show is a get up off your seat thriller! Even though this is one of the most watched tv shows in the U.S there are still a bunch of people who still dont watch it! The plot is basically about a man who wakes up out of a dream after being in a coma and its a zombie apocalypse. Its expanded a lot from there adding new settings, new characters and new places. You'll find yourself waiting every Sunday for 9 o clock just so you can flick on the T.V and brighten up your day!

Things to come

Hey everyone! Today is gonna be a rather things for the future type of post. I was thinking about doing a flash fiction/short story post about once a week. This will not affect my 3 weekly uploads, this will just be a 4th. Also you should be expecting a Call of Duty ghosts review along with a podcast in the very near future (tomorrow)! My final thing that I am going to say before writing a review on my top 5 most underrated TV.shows is thanks for coming back to my blog time and time again it really helps!

Rant on Salaries and busts on Basketball.

Why do players such as Dirk Nowitzki and Joe Johnson get paid over  20 million US dollars just to be an O.K player? Then people such as LeBron James and Kevin Durant who are by far the best people in the league get paid 3 million dollars less in LeBron's Case and a whopping 5 million dollars in Kevin Durant's case. Now this... is a problem, take into account the stats from previous years for Dirk and Joe and then you will see what I mean.
The following images are FIRST Joe Johnson's career stats and SECOND Dirk Nowitzki's stats.

Now the following are Dirk Nowitzki's stats

Now you see what I mean! LeBron James and Kevin Durant are far better then these 2 guys yet they are getting paid so much less than these guys. My biggest thing however that I am happen about is that young players normally don't get bombarded with money in their first year, which is great because it shows that they have to work hard and earn it. My biggest pet peeve is Kobe Bryant! Year after year he gets paid over 30 million dollars even though he is so old and injured! The lakers need to pay him less so they can afford so much more of a quality team. This has been another rant let me know what you think in the comments!

In reply on how to make coins!

So everyone I have some very funny news to announce. Remember how I said in my "How to make coins" post that you should never open packs because all you are doing is wasting your hard earned coins"? Yeah you wouldn't believe how wrong I was. You see my parents were away on Friday night so I was super bored and decided to "Waste" all my coins on fifa ultimate team packs. How much luckier I could have gotten I dont know, but what I do know is not much luckier. Just to put it in context I had 80 thousand coins from using all those methods over the past 2 months. Then after I pulled SIF (second inform) Aguero, I had 1 million coins! I would still suggest not to open packs, because the chances of that happening to you are so slim. Then again go out and try, you never know what could happen. ;)

Fantasy Basketball

If you guys are looking at doing a league with some buddies or some league with relatives and your putting down maybe 5-10$ on a league. This is my guide for players that I think will burst out of their shell and come out to bright and shining fantasy stars.Whether they be an awful team or not this is My countdown of 5 people that you should try to pick for every position in a standard league. Here are the first two guards in the list just comment  for more sleepers!

Williams Intends to Be a Big time player

Point Guard (PG)
To start it out guys I am looking at a few players in particular at Point Guard. Here are my top 5 point guard sleepers that you should pick up in your league.

Michael Carter Williams
With Williams showing up big in his first couple of games and the 76ers looking like a very good team, watch out for Michael. You should Pick him up in your draft at around the 70th pick. Especially pick him up earlier if you need a quality PG because Michael will be your bread and butter. At the moment if he can stay hot for the rest of the season you are looking in on a player that has 20.0 points per game flat and almost 8 assists per game.Thats great potential production for a low risk  70th pick.

Issiah Thomas-
This guy had a lot of doubters at the beginning for the season and now looks as if he'll be a great player pick him up in a similar position to Michael Carter Williams.

Eaglebrook Soccer Tournament

So for some of you who do not know... Eaglebrook is a soccer tournament that normally happens on the first saturday in November. The tournament consists of 16 teams, and you have to win or come 2nd in your group to advance to the A division. If you come 3rd or 4th you will quickly find yourself in the B division. However the tournament is very difficult because they are only 20 minute games and you can find yourself on the wrong side of the game very quickly, because if you go down 1-0 to an early goal, the team your losing against will go into a defensive shell and wont come out, until its too late and you've lost. Thats why it is very important to go in all out with no regrets. This was our Morning schedule for Eaglebrook
1st Game Fay- In this game,the team as a whole were sort of completely caught off guard because it felt like it was over before we knew it and there was nothing we could do about it. Luckily we were able to bounce back however and win our next 2 games after tying this game 0-0.
2nd Game Rectory- This was a quality game in which many chances were missed and where Matt Killian had an absolute banger of a goal right into the bottom left corner, that carried us onto to the next game.
3rd Game Shore- The game against Shore was the game where as a team we played the best, even though we only won 1-0 it was a good domination of the game for us, as we had been able to keep possession most of the time and gotten good opportunities on net. The goal we scored was rather early on in the game maybe the 5th or 6th minute, it was scored by Alex Hill off a header that was passed by one of our defenders that had actually attempted to shoot it.

After these 3 games, we realized we had done well enough to make it into Division "A" which is the top 2 teams from the earlier brackets ^^.
In our first game for this bracket we played Rumsey Hall and had a great game. Goals were scored by Chewy Bruni and Alex Hill, both goals were great goals.
Eaglebrook- I have no idea how in the world we drew this team, because to be honest... they looked as if they were old enough to be  juniors and seniors in High School, some of their attackers even had full on beards! This was a great game for us. The final result was 0-0
Fessenden- Fessy was a team that we had already played twice in the season and had beaten once and lost once, both 2-1 games. However we came out strong and won the game from Whit Caldwalders simple nice clean goal.
We were all super excited because we thought we had gone to the final, and then we realized that we wouldn't be going because Eaglebrook had scored more goals then us.
We were all bummed out, but not out of the tournament as we got to play in the less prestigious 3rd place game. The game itself was very interesting as our goalie had gotten a red card and we put Matt Killian in as goalie. Who by the way was astonishing. That game however we were still able to win 1-0 and come back to Fenn for 3rd place. Thanks For Reading!

Halloween

A time of year, when people do the stupidest and have the most fun doing the stupidest things. You go out with your friends and collect as much candy as possible and trade it in at the end with each other. My friends always think there getting a steal when I trade them a bunch of Peanut Candy, which I absolutely despise.

Tips for Fifa 14's Ultimate Team mode...

So guys this will be a coin making tutorial for the mode Ultimate Team on Fifa 14.
This is going to be a relatively long post, so I will separate it into parts as to the amount of coins you have.
Tips-
The first thing to watch out for is buying packs or entering your email or password into a website that says it will give you free coins such as .weebly.com or .yolasite.com these are scams, these should be ignored. Also we all buy pack after pack after pack for hopes that we get a Ronaldo or a Messi even though we know deep down we have no chance, don't waste REAL money on packs or spend your hard earned coins from trading and playing game just to waste them on packs! The following methods will not work if you ignore these warnings! Skip down towards the end if you would like a method for yourself if you have over 100k (thousand) coins. Thanks and Please continue reading for all of the methods...

200-1000 coins- So what you have to do for this amount of coins would be to buy silver players for around 250 coins and by using the website futwiz.com search for what players are selling for in price data. If you can get them for 300 or less coins pick them up and if the cheapest  BIN (buy it now) on the market is at least 200 coins more. You should be making a tidy profit as long as its 2k or more in price range. The best way to go about using this method would be too set the search parameters to 200 min-300 coins max. Then to check out ones that you think have good attributes by searching them on futwiz.com and if there going for that 200 coins more swoop em up!

1k-5k coins- For this method you are going to want to have at least 1000 coins, I call this the Half-Full method and it should make you a good enough amount of coins to get you started on those more difficult methods. So what this method does is eliminate pretty much all cards on the market that are not going for dirt cheap prices! The way it works is you set no Min Bid and the max bid being the amount of coins you have. Then you double the amount of coins you have in the min BIN you set.
Exp.
Bid-Min-0
Bid-Max-5000
BIN-Min-10000
BIN-Max 0
This method works really well for anyone trying to make a bit of coins to get onto a method that will give you a bit more of a reward.

5k-10k coins- Now you start getting into the more fun easy money making methods, you can either do the same thing as the last method with more coins which means more coins or you can the first method with a lot more coins which means a lot more coins being received back because your doing it on a wider scale.
Exp. 1 silver for 250 sell him for 550 which is around 270 coins after incorporating EA (Electronic Arts) tax, and then multiply that by however many you can afford after that one and every once in a while you'll get a guy for like 350 and you can sell him for 1700 almost immediately! So 270 profit for 1 player= 1 x 270 but 14 players in 12 minutes= 270 x 14 which is actually almost 4000 coins! (3780 to be exact. However the method specific to this amount of coins is the mass bidding on contracts method. Some nights you can sell rare gold contracts for 400 and some nights you can have no luck selling them for 200! This is all down to EA's promotions and sales for Ultimate Team. When a lot of people are spending REAL money opening packs, there is a lot more contracts on the market, because there are a lot more packs being opened! This is the best time to buy contracts, Wednesday night at around 7 pm our time because all of us are online then. The best time to sell is Sunday night at around 2 pm our time because of the massive amount of British people playing the game.

10k-20k Here is where it starts getting fun, you can start to mass bid on players.
EXP. You can buy 20 welbecks for 1k each and sell them for 1300 each and that will be around 5000 coins, in just around a 30 minute period! This however is very difficult because there are a lot of other players at these coin increment trying to do the same thing as you, it gets easier a bit higher up in coins.


25k-50k You can start investing now! This however is quite time consuming as you have to look at all the league matches around the world to see who scored.
EXP. Luis Suarez scores 3 goals for Liverpool (Actually Happened). His price rose from 50k to 95k in just 3 minutes! Thats phenomenal profit, the problem is you have to be rather quick about scooping them up and knowing when to sell them!

50k-100k TOTW investing. If you see a player has performed well over the weekend then you can snap a couple up because there price will rise if they are a popular player! You see not many people can afford a INFORM (an upgraded black card based on real life performance) torres and the regular one will be out of packs for 1 week because only the black one will be in packs. So you can buy a couple regular ones and a few days into the totw his price will have rose around 2000 and its no risk!

100k- infinity PRICE LOCK- This is very complicated as you need a lot of coins, my warning on this method however, is do not buy a player not everyone likes and do not buy players that are GOLD OR Bronze! Because a lot of people open GOLD and BRONZE packs but almost no one opens those silver packs, which means good rare players are scarce and you can price lock them on their already high price and once again if you're watching a game on T.V. and you see a silver player has scored, a lot of people will look for him and try to buy him for there team. You can capitalize here by price-locking them! Not exorbitant prices but prices that make you nice coins.
EXP.
Townsend scores 2 goals, buy all of them on the market for around 10k coins and sell them all for 50+ k coins! Some guys actually did this and made around a million coins! Any questions, just put in the comments thanks for reading this post!

Red Sox are World Champions!

In an amazing playoff run that could have sent the Red Sox home on many an occasion, here they are winning in 6 games, on their home field for the first time since 1918! It was really an amazing night for all those in Boston, and really for anyone in New England. If you were out from 8 o clock onwards the roads were empty, because almost everyone in New England was sitting on their couch, chips in hand waiting to see if the Red Sox could win that all important game. For me the reason why we won that game was Stephen Drew's home run. That hit really gave the Boston faithful the energy they needed to cheer on their home team to the max. 

You could just feel the roar from the crowd, all around New England, it hit my family room like a ton of bricks. The twitter account @didhegetahit devoted to seeing if Stephen Drew got a hit went up about 5000 followers in 3 minutes. That hit changed the outlook of the game, even though we were already up 3-0 from the previous innings double into the gap by Victorino that scored 3 runs. That hit did gave us some energy, but once again I cannot state enough that a 3 run cushion is not enough. Exp. We were down 5-1 against the tigers in the ALCS game 2, when Big Papi hit his home run against Joaqium Benoit and pretty much won the game for us by making the tides turn. This last month has been absolutely amazing for anyone involved and I hope we can do something like it with the Patriots and Bruins this year! This has been a sports announcement

Batman Arkham Origins review.

In a world where a man who is wearing a black cape is considered the hero of a fictional "Gotham" New York, someone who saves that city, that someone is you. You the player can experience all an all new experience in combat, stealth moves and more! This prequel so far is possibly the best prequel I have ever seen/played in video game history. You face new enemies consisting of "Killer Croc" a major man crocidile with a craving for human flesh. You also meet the leader of the league of assassins, "Black Mask". The first piece of the game was a very interesting scene in which you saw all 8 assassins that are hunting for you, because there is a 50 million dollar bounty your head. You decide to come out and fight to save the people of Gotham.
You are Batman and this is.... Arkham Origins...

What in the name of "Salty Happened?

I noticed that my readers want more sports rants. So here they are!

In a heartbreaking loss in which the Red Sox lost 5-4. It all came down to the 9th inning. The inning of heartbreak and triumph. The inning where awful mistakes are made and thats what happened here. A couple poor decisions cost us the game. Actually... A couple bad decisions from Jared Saltalamacchia and our manager John Farrell for not replacing "Salty". The Red sox had tied it up in that 8th inning and we were looking good up until Koji Uehara came in and gave up a hit. However that played a role in this, that was not the main problem. The main problem was that once we got Yadier Molina out at home "Salty" felt it necessary to throw it to third and lose us the game. Then the second unfortunate thing happened. Will Middlebrooks was called for obstruction! Those 2 things really cost us the game from my point of view and if you watched the umpires afterwords they had no idea what they were talking about! They were like rule 7.04, and then another one of them would say something like "that doesn't apply you are thinking of rule 2.4". All in all a very unfortunate game.

Casino in East Boston

Today I am here to blog about my views on the recent proposal for a casino that is being proposed for the Suffolk downs horse race track in East Boston. The proposed casino would be supposedly influential in a good way,but that is where I disagree entirely. The jobs that they say will be brought in is just not telling the whole story. The rest of the local businesses would be slowly run over by the vast power of an incoming casino. Why would you go to a local restaurant for dinner before you go into the casino when you can just have dinner in the casino? The local businesses would be hit significantly by money loss and they would slowly start to shut down. The traffic effects to an already popular place would become even more difficult to go in. The casino will bring down and outs, much crime,traffic and addiction to east Boston. All in all I think this would be a terrible idea. What do you think?

Rant about Crazy Woman Driving into The White House!

Today I am here to blog about what I heard on the Woman who tried to drive her car into the white house and ended up hitting the gate outside. How stupid can you get? This was clearly either someone who was drunk, a bad driver or some sort of enemy to government or terrorist. She was just driving around trying to drive in through the gates. Until government officials, who by the way were without pay at the time, stopped her. She stopped for a brief moment and then pulled out her car and began driving around again trying to get through. The police later shot the woman and found out that she had a baby in the car. All in all I found this to be one of the craziest stories I have ever seen in my entire life. I mean what was she going to do drive into the white house and maybe injure or in really bad circumstance kill someone? The only reason this made the news was because its the white house and the fact that all the Syria stuff is moving very slowly at the moment due to the government shutdown, not as many people are talking about Syria they are all talking about the government shutdown. The previous government shutdown lasted for somewhere in the range of 28 days and I can see this one lasting a lot longer! Thanks again, and you're reading another one of the Irish boys rants!

The Government

How could we have possibly gotten to the point that our government is so on opposite ends that they felt it was necessary to shut down the government? Do people think Obama-Care is that bad? Bad enough to shut down our countries order and all websites related to the government.? I think they need to solve this problem as soon as possible or else our country could be targeted by other countries, as most of our police force, our C.I.A and F.B.I  are all on "vacation" without pay.  We need to solve this problem of the Republicans not passing the budget and the Democrats being stubborn about what they want, and in the last piece of the Obama interview. He stated, "wall street should be worried". The previous government shutdowns in 1995 and 1996 lasted for a total of 27 days and that was when the republicans were on better terms with the democrats. I believe this one could last much longer.
