1000 Heroz - I'm STUCK !!

A funny moment whilst playing 1000 Heroz, my character got stuck under a branch which is supposed to launch you forward for a tiny boost but n this occasion decided to trap me.

1000 Heroz - Day 42 - Oh Yes BABY !!!

Finally !! after 42 days of playing I finally make it to the top of the UGVM leader-board

17.504 beating Luffers into 2nd spot, setting a fast time is an art of fine tuning, I spent quite a bit of time trying to shave milliseconds off my time & finally achieved the top spot but I did not stop there for fear that James might come back with a faster time. I tried until the last few seconds on the clock to see if I could better my fast time.

Day 42 BABY Day 42 & yes I have made this image slightly larger than the others :)

1000 Heroz - Day 40

The MONSTER is back at the top with a time of 18.339, well done Monster you are showing Abbas & I the way to the top.

I was close behind with a 18.561

Disc Drivin - Knockoff !!

 

In a recent game of disc drivin I gave luffers a nice surprise :)

Also this is my first video upload to youtube using my HTC Wildfire to record the playback on my iPod touch, sorry I had the sound turned off on the iPod touch

New Game - 1000 Heroz

It is not really a new game because I have been playing it for a while now, currently Day 38. You get a new level every day for 1000 days and you have 24 hours to set a fast time on that level. Your character has to run to the finish line whilst jumping over obstacles to set a time.

You can then check your time against the global leader board or even better set up your own custom league to compete against your friends.


Special mention must go to the Day19 (Yes I'm biased)

Words with Friends - Cibrushsille

What make a player cheat?
What is the point?

Tiwrp, followed by Emunean & then Cibrushsille

Humour I can only assume?

If not on the part of my opponent certainly on the BETEO forum & Twitter we have had much fun with the word.

A post from Owen on We Love Katamari on the PS2

Dear Girlfriend,

I’m so sorry I missed our date today. I know, I know, but it’s been a strange diary, even by my standards. I was on my way to see you, trying to mind my own business, when a tiny Sumo wrestler approached me and asked for my help. Of course, he actually meant he wanted my father’s help. I’m nothing to these people – nothing! I do all the work, all the rolling, yet it’s my father who gets the praise, the fans, the glory. I don’t know how much longer I can stand it.

But my father forced me into helping him again. He made me roll this Sumo wrestler around the town picking up food that had been left lying around. I got hit by a train several times because chicken legs had been left on the railway line, but I’m okay. Just a bit sore. This guy ate and ate. He even ate some children I ran into by mistake. Oh God, darling, I’m a murderer! I don’t want to do this! I don’t want to live this life! I want to be good! I want to paint! Maybe teach! Not this endless rolling, rolling, rolling. I’m a thief and a killer!

My father had only given me five minutes to get this Sumo guy up to size and by that time I’d failed. Everything went black and my father appeared above me, terrifying to behold. And then the laser bolts shot from his eyes, something I’ve seen before. He was so mad at me! I ran, trying to evade his terrible discipline, but some of the bolts hit. It was burning agony like I’ve never felt. My poor raw hide! He hit just the spots left raw by the train hits. So I tried again and again I failed him and his rage was no less brutal.

And again I tried and this time I realised I had to take the Sumo wrestler to his match before the five minutes was up. He beat his opponent and my father was all sweetness and light and let me go. I ran all the way to the cinema, but by the time I got there, you’d gone. I’m really sorry.

I know we’ve talked about this, how I should run away, let one of cousins take over my duties, that the way my father treats me is wrong. But I can’t help going back. He’s my father, and he’s King of the Cosmos and I’d never be able to hide. I love you, but like it or not, this is my life. I hope you can accept that. I’ve learned to, in time I’m sure you will, too.

Maybe you should come round for dinner one day, so I can introduce you? Please, reply soon. I miss you.

Your Love,
The Prince

Hanging with Friends - Balloons

I managed to win a game without any of my balloons going pop.

Compared to Words with Friends it is not that enjoyable & like Words with Friends it needs some sort of Leaderboard with an ELO scoring system or Stats screen.

New Game - Tiny Tower - Kaboom !!

Kaboom !! After playing for nearly a week I have just blown up my 35 floor tower, it's taken me 35 floors before I finally gave up on this time sink of a game. If you have ever played Farmville or any of the other thousand of variations you know the type of game I mean by time sink.

I have always despised games like Championship Manager, Farmville & Ravenswood Fair because they are games that have no ending, they continuously offer you the lure of an extra season, tile or in Tiny Tower's case another floor to build. You do not gain anything from the experience except the satisfaction of knowing you have built the largest tower, farm, city or whatever it is you are building.

Tiny Tower has you starting off on this grind by luring you into building floors & manage your residents by giving them a job in one of the many shops you build on the other floors. Match the resident with the dream job & you are rewarded by extra stock for that shop & 3 bux's. Bux's & Coin's are what you need to expand your tower. You get coins by stocking your shops & bux's by completing various tasks like transporting a visitor to a particular floor or fully stocking your shop.

Tiny Tower does have some interesting additions in the BitBook, which is a facebook type social media hub for your residents & by using gamecenter you can see how your tower is doing against your friends.

You continue this endless loop of stocking, building & managing until you shoot yourself in the head or realise what a waste of time this game was. "Digital Crack" is what these games are and the sooner you get yourself off the addiction the better.

Go play a proper game with a story & above all an ending.

Update 07/2012 - Nearly a year later & I'm back for a second stab at Tiny Tower
