Fitbit Flex - 2 Lights, 1 Blank, and 2 Lights

Well, the first Fitbit Flex my wife got died after 4 days.  So we exchanged it out and 3 months later, it's not working. Been having issues but this time I saw that it showed 2 lights, 1 blank light and 2 lights before it went into try to charge.  There is nothing in the manual for this and finding anything online is even worse as nothing is out there on this.

After researching all I could, finally called the company to see what they would do.  With the device syncing up to their servers, they can see that the battery in the Fitbit is not holding a charge anymore and went bad.  They would never say exactly what those lights meant but I'm going to associate it with the battery going out in the Fitbit, which is therefore a dead unit and unusable.

We were past the warranty but they wanted a receipt for when it was purchased.  I didn't have it but knew the dates for when we bought it.  Since they can see that we were on our 2nd device and when we connected it to their servers, it shows the dates when it was done.   Since I knew the exact dates for when we purchased it, and they could see it in their system, they waived needing the receipt.  So we have a new Fitbit on the way.

Looks like I need to go back and check this app out again.  I was using Google Reader until it went down.  Then I switched to Feedly which I have been enjoying.

Titanfall

Well everyone is playing Destiny now but with all the games I've got to play and finish I have went back to playing Titanfall for some first person shooter action.

I originally played Titanfall when I got it but stopped when I got LEGO Hobbit to play it.  Before I stopped playing I focused mainly on finishing the campaign and that included winning once each on every map for both sides of the campaign.

So starting back into again I went to working on getting to level 50 for a re-up to get 2 achievements.  I also decided to start working on Attrition matches.  50 wins doesn't come quick and there are a lot of modes to win 50 matches in.  

As I closed in on level 50 I realized there was an achievement for unlocking all the guns.  It's not just the guns though, it's all the attachments for each gun including the Titans.  I had been using the Smart Pistol and the R-101C Carbine weapons for unlocking all the challenges associated with those guns. It was then I realized for each weapon you have certain tasks to do in order to unlock those attachments.  Since I hadn't really focused on unlocking all of them and only used a few of the weapons, I went ahead and re-up.  While working my way back to level 50 for a second time I will make sure to unlock all the weapons with their attachments.

I am almost to level 50 on Tier 2 with half of the weapons and attachments unlocked.  Im definitely not leveling up until I finish this off so I don't have to worry about it anymore.  That way I can just focus and use the guns I want to use each time.

I finished off getting 50 wins on Attrition and I just recently finished getting 50 wins on Hard Point matches.  Im currently working on Last Titan Standing and if winning 1 round counts for 1 win then I've got a long way to go in order to unlock this achievement.  Once this is done I will still have to finish Capture the Flag and Pilot Hunter for 50 wins as well.  So I've definitely got a ways to go.

It's very hard to kill an ejecting pilot in this game as I've only killed 2 so far but I need 10 for an achievement.  Really wish I could boost this one some how.

Earning 500 burn cards will come in time along with running 5 kilometers along the walls in the game.  With everything I've got to do still, those will just come in time.

I'm still debating if I want to go for the Gen 10 achievement where I have to get to Tier 10.  Getting to level 50 again in Tier 2 didn't very long but you have to meet requirements in order Gen up.  I guess I'll see how far I get while finishing all these modes off to see if I care enough to finish all the achievements for the initial game or leave that last 0 pointer as it's just not worth going for.

The game is definitely fun and I'm still enjoying it.

CBS TV Streaming Service

Well, this kills Hulu from ever getting the CBS shows.  As many shows as I watch live on CBS, I will probably end up getting this.
