Netflix Movie of the Week | Atari: Game Over
Hey whats going on everybody? This weekend the Mrs and I joined some of our close friends for a weekend getaway in Branson Missouri. We had rented a cabin in the woods... (insert dark ominous music) The weekend has been great and I definitely don't mind having a couple of work days off! Anyways I figured I would watch some movies on Netflix and too my surprise they have added some documentaries that had been removed for a while.
The first movie I picked to watch again was Atari: Game Over.
If you haven't seen this yet I would highly recommend it to you. This movie showcases the rise and fall of Atari. However the main reason for the movie is to discover the burial site for ET the game produced by Atari.
The landfill and search for the site and spot of the burial of these games to me was secondary. My main interest was listening to Howard Warshaw, Chief game Engineer for Atari, talk about the glory days and life as a game developer in the height of the gaming industry. Warshaw created many million copy sellers including Yars Revenge and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
In the end it wasn't just ET that led to the downfall of Atari in fact there were a lot of terrible games out for the system. However ET with so much hype and media surrounding the release of the movie and the timing of all the events there had to be a scapegoat. ET was just that. SPOILER: the landfill was excavated, games were found and some of them were ET. It wasn't a burial ground for that game it was a dump site for a warehouse with many Atari games that closed due to the fall of Atari.
So what say you? Have you already seen this documentary?
What did you think?
Any other Netflix suggestions?

The cover art in these old games make them worth picking up as a collector!
Neflix | Disney
If you have been living under a rock for the past month you may have missed this HUGE announcement by Netflix:
Netflix Inc. has acquired exclusive U.S. rights to movies from Walt Disney Studios in a deal that catapults the Internet video-on-demand service into direct competition with pay TV giants such as HBO and Showtime.
The three-year agreement takes effect in 2016 and is a blow to the pay channel Starz, which currently has the rights to broadcast Disney movies, including its Pixar animated films and Marvel superhero pictures, about eight months after they are released in theaters.
Disney has also agreed to give Netflix nonexclusive streaming rights to more of its older titles — including "Dumbo," "Pocahontas" and "Alice in Wonderland" — starting immediately.
Netflix's chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, called the deal "a bold leap forward for Internet television."
"We are incredibly pleased and proud this iconic family brand is teaming with Netflix to make it happen," he said.
Being an active subscriber to Netflix for the past 5 years it's exciting to see the direction Netflix is taking. You better believe we are going to be snuggling up to so Disney and popcorn come September!

LEVELZERO.TV
LivingTheNerdLife.com is excited to announce the launch of our new website and company LEVELZERO.TV
Ryan and myself are extremely excited about this new opportunity and couldn't wait to share it with you all as this has been something in the works for several months now! LEVELZERO.TV is the new place to go for active Twitch & YouTube streamers looking to engage and grow their fan-base.
What is LEVELZERO.TV?
We want you to Go from budding content creator to badass self-made brand.
Level Zero connects streamers with designers, animators, marketers, branding experts, social media gurus - really, anyone of anything you might need - to grow your audience and fully realize your streams potential.
Everything a streamer needs.
Your stream is just a small piece of the content creation puzzle. The reality is that in order to grow your audience, you have to pay attention to a bunch of other stuff — video content, animation, marketing, branding, social media, the list goes on and on. Doing it all yourself can get overwhelming; you may not know where to start, you don't have the resources, or you may not even like doing it. After all, streaming's why you go into it in the first place, right? We say you should focus on that, and let us take care of the rest. We mean it when we say we can manage all the other pieces — anything and everything you might need — to take your stream to the next level, develop your brand, connect with fans, and make a living doing what you love.
