Netflix Reminders

/in /by

Soon it will be even harder to miss your favourite Netflix shows. (Who misses the release date anyways?!) The streaming giant will update it’s TV apps to show a “Latest” section. This section will show a list of movies and TV show seasons that will be released that week and the one thereafter. (Via Variety.) Think of it as a Netflix Reminders.

The titles will show a trailer and users can ask to be reminded when their program that they’re interested in goes LIVE. Therefore people will most likely receive a notification when they open the app. Much like most of the Netflix app, the list will be curated to individual members tastes.

This brand new section is available now to smart TV’s streaming devices and game consoles around the world. It will be located on the app’s sidebar. The feature is similar to “coming soon” area which is already available Android app.

How do you keep up to date on Netflix shows? Do you keep an eye on “new releases” “trending now” or do you read articles about what’s coming up? The new section will go some ways to help people keep interested in the streaming service and streamline a show-finding process.

Breaking Bad Movie

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

/in /by

The Breaking Bad movie which has been making little waves on the internet lately has officially been announced! We did hear little mumurings of a Breaking Bad movie before the official announcement, so it wasn’t too much of a surprise. But now, it’s official! It’s called El Camino and is a Netflix exclusive. El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie looks like it’s going to be a wild ride!

Announced via a teaser,  El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, will premiere on October 11th 2019. The clip revolves around Skinny Pete, reveals a little bit of information about the plot. It seems to revolve around Jesse Pinkman, maybe escaping captivity? “Putting Jesse Pinkman back in a cage”

While there’s no word on whether or not Walter White would appear, Bryan Cranston was aware that a movie was happening. But wouldn’t say if he was playing his character.

The movie won’t be coming to theatres and reflects how important Netflix was to Breaking Bad. Vince Gilligan did claim that “kept us on the air” by helping viewers catch up and watch the final episodes. While the sister show “Better Call Saul” is available on regular platforming in some countries, it’s only available on Netflix in others. So it looks like being a Netflix Only movie would be the likely place for it to go.

Now, Nintendo have announced that the official launch date for Mario Kart Tour. That release date is not too far away at all. You can strap in, put the pedal to the metal on September 25th.

There was a closed beta of the game and up until now, Nintendo didn’t give too much information away about Mario Kart Tour. The game features race courses inspired by iconic real world cities which rotate every two weeks. The game is “free-to-start”, which means players will have to decide whether to spend money on it. The Microtransactions will be used to unlock features and perhaps even characters.

This game looks absolutely incredible and we cannot wait to give it a go for ourselves. Nintendo will be releasing more information via their official Twitter account. So keep an eye on Twitter for more details as the games release date approaches.

Planning A Roadtrip? Check These Things Before You Go

/in , /by

Taking a trip can be really exciting, but if you are out and about, midway into a journey and your car breaks down, things can take a turn for the worst, the fun can be lost, and you can spend a lot of time and money sorting things out. In order to minimise the chances of this happening it is essential to check your car is road trip ready before you even set out.

Check the basics

Before you plan to take a more extended trip, you should always check your air, oil and water. These three tasks can quickly be learned, and you should ensure that for the oil and water checks you have parked on a flat hard standing rather than on a slope as this could give a false reading. Your handbook should tell you what tyre pressures you should be running, and most garages have access to airlines for about twenty pence.

Get your car serviced

Make sure you have been keeping up with servicing on your car, and if you are planning an unusually long journey consider booking a service anyway. This gives you peace of mind that your vehicle has been checked by a professional and if you are unsure about things like oil and water they can check this for you. Failure to serve a car regularly can mean a minor issue is not spotted and over time it deteriorates into a costly job that could have been avoided.

Tyres: Fittings, repair and maintenance

As well as checking the air in your tyres you should also be keeping an eye on the overall quality. Treads have a legal minimum limit, after which the tyre becomes dangerous and could fail to react when braking, or steering sharply. It also means that the rubber has worn away and this can leave the tyre more at risk of punctures or worse, a blowout, which can leave the car uncontrollable and cause an accident. Tyres should be regularly checked for nails, stones and other debris in the treads, and it is vital you have a spare tyre on board, the spare wheel is often only suitable to get you back to proper help, but some vehicles carry a full road legal spare. Even if you’re road-tripping to Scotland and need an emergency repair or replacement, you can get good quality servicing and repairs at places such as C.H. Render.

How to save money

The best way to save money when it comes to cars and road trips is to have breakdown cover should the worst happen. It can be really expensive to get your vehicle towed or repaired at the side of the road if you are not a member of a breakdown service. Check the level of cover and compare it with the journey you are going to make.

The bottom line is that being prepared for road trips is a case of being proactive, not reactive. If you carry out a range of checks and ensure that your vehicle is maintained all year round, you are less likely to have problems when heading out for a longer trip. Being reactive is not only disruptive it can also be hard on the wallet so keeping on top of basic maintenance makes a lot of sense.
