Be Excellent To Each Other

PS home? Worse than Noby Noby Boy.

Wasn't Home a PC game first (work is blocking that website. Hnngh)? I recall it had a bit of a rave about it as being creepy-excellent.

I might give that a shot if it's the one I'm thinking about.

It was.

Oooh, that looks like the one (on the appstore). I'll give that a punt!

And lo and behold, this game has them.

Yep, just seen your message on Twitter.

I will say that it's so well hidden that I didn't realise. You certainly don't think "ooh, I wish I had more gold, and could spend some pennies to speed up the game" at any point.

I played this earlier for a little while and it's right up mah street. I'm going to have to set an hour aside to go through it from start to finish.

Oh, it's very good is this. I'll definitely be giving this a second run through. I never got to watch the video for a start.

Loving Retro Racing at the moment.

I find it fiddly and it just makes me want to play Supercars.

The inApp purchaseable cars shook my faith in Retro Racing and so I abandoned it.

Whilst Games to play >> Time available stuff with crap like that, no matter from how talented a man has to work very hard to keep my faith.

The counter point to that being that I've bought Magic 2014. A little hit of the old drug for an ex-junkie who grew up and met girls.

FREE!

BADLAND!

The best iPhone game in the universe is free!

Seriously, like, if you don't get this you really don't like yourself enough.

Infinity Blade 2 is free today.

As buried by me in the Bits & Bobs thread; all right-minded people should currently be playing McPixel because it's an utterly lunatic mix of Warioware and old-school point & click adventuring that will make your brain feel a bit wrong.

Are we playing Mini Mix Mayhem?

We should.

A new challenger enters. Ok, it's just me again.

Did you know you can get LIMBO on iPhone? You can.

It looks ace, by the way. One of my fav games of this generation.

I've seen it's been available on the Vita for a couple of months. Tempted to pick it up once I've finished Hotline Miami.

Wrong thread I know, but can the Vita do apps, like Skype? Does it have a camera?

Seriously dude, you'd literally have been quicker Googling that than finding the wrong thread and typing your post into it.

But then what would we talk about?

Yes. Yes, two.

Surely there's a line to be drawn between 'stuff you could investigate yourself' and 'stuff you could find out by simply glancing at the page of Google results'.

Or we could talk about how I smashed you all on Mini Mix Mayhem.

I got 1:54 on my first go.

I have no clue what I am meant to do for some of them. The firework one? Is it a swipe?

Clearly I'm a busy man.

Swipe up. You'll get to grips with the games after a few goes and then you're managing three games at a time. It's awesome.

Have you never played it? Get it, it's excellent. It's not very long mind but once you start you won't put it down.

Stick Cricket Partnerships seems to be available now. It's the Stick Cricket we all* know and love, but it's now an asynchronous co-op version for two people (hence the name).

If you like Stick Cricket and you have a friend, give it a whirl.






* APoD and me

Are y'all logged in via FB or elsewhere?

I don't think it matters. I already had a Stick Cricket account so used that.

Are you going to tell me what your username is?

It's also on android, phone fans.

Downloading now

I love Stick Cricket, but am (predictably) terrible at it. Never did get the hang of spin.

WTF? No settings to mute the sound? Can't be arsed with that shit.

There is, but once you get into the game. It isn't on the main menu.

Anyone else with a stick cricket username?

trooperlooper

but I haven't played it yet...

The one player game is crazy difficult, as you have to play with a tail ender. I've had five attempts at getting a fifty partnership. In four games he got out from one ball, the other time off his second ball. So to win you need to hit a fifty without giving your partner the strike! Crazy!

Or save up your dollars earned in multiplayer to buy a better partner. Or Pay-2-Win^TM.

Like 90% of mobile games, this appears to be hopeless if you have a weak signal. Lockups and glitches galore...

Bah.

It has locked up for me a few times, and worst of all, when it locks you can't unlock it. I guess I just wait, or delete it and redownload or something.

Open the apps bar, force close it then reopen and it should work.

Jesus, this is a travesty of an android port. It locks up regularly, can't handle a weak data signal, the mute setting are only available within a game and only apply to that game, and if you leave it running in the background it doesn't idle properly and runs the media player constantly. I've gone from 45% to 2% in two hours...

...and you STILL haven't taken your turn!

See above, battery is dead.

I saw that I had a game invite from you last night, but this morning it gas disappeared.

No matter, game has been uninstalled after yet another android issue. Notifications are on by default with both sound and vibration. There is no option to turn them off...

I'll venture it's not a purer droid issue. I've never known an iOS app crash so often, or need force quitting to get updates if you leave it on the wrong screen.

It crashes quite a lot for me, but I've never had to force quit to get updates. There's a progress bar along the bottom that shows you how far you are from refreshing your games. I think it updates every minute or so.
