I finally got around to doing some Spring Cleaning, despite it being Summer. Now all that’s left to do is clean the carpet.

Pee Without Noise Stool – Yeah, Apparently This Is Real -
Rumor: Intel's Core i5 to show up in MacBook Pros this month -
If they release this, I’m sure as hell going to get one. My current polycarbonate white MacBook is becoming sluggish and looks outdated next to my shiny, relatively new iMac.
Well, boredom has set in, so I’ve been trying to find something to do. I got these from http://www.cubeecraft.com/ and they’re beginning to become an obsession.
From left to right, the Cubees in the picture are; Vault Boy (from the Fallout series of games), Master Chief’s head (from Halo. I haven’t completed the body yet), Gir (from Invader Zim), Bender (from Futurama) and Bloo (from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends).Posted via email from POST1604 | Comment »
Plushed is quickly becoming one of my favourite games for the iPhone. The stunning graphics paired with a very simple, easy-to-use interface add up to make a great iPhone app.
There are two game modes; Story and Minigames. In Story, you get 9 levels, beginning at 1 and unlocking the rest as you continue through each of the progressively difficult, 2-Dimensional, beautifully designed levels.
Minigames, on the other hand, involves three different minigames (obviously). They’re simple little games that have the same elegant design as the Story mode, but don’t involve any complicated storylines. They’re the kind of games that you play over and over, trying to beat your high score.
The controls are very simple; left and right arrows (located on the bottom-left of the screen) to move your character side to side, tap-to- jump, shake to dislodge items such as pizza and boulders and touch-and- drag items in your inventory to use them with the environment.
Anyway, back to Story mode. It’s your classic “Princess is missing, you have to save her” scenario. You use some very simple, easy to use controls to navigate your way through a side-scrolling, 2-Dimensional level, dodging the occasional enemy and jumping over the odd spike pit and cauldron of acid.
Each level involves a relatively straightforward mission, such as collecting a distressed mother’s eggs, or defeating a boss. However, you don’t get any weapons, which means you need to use skill and tactics to eliminate enemies and use the environment to bypass obstacles. You can also use objects available throughout the levels to aid you in your mission. These objects include slices of pizza, pizza perfume and Pizza Eaters (fat little animals that act as a sort of trampoline). All this talk about pizza is making ne hungry.
Overall, I’d give Plushed a well-deserved 10/10 rating. Not only does it have stunning graphics, but it has a great story, a simple interface and very adaptable controls. It’s currently available in the iPhone App Store for A$2.49, so you should definitely check it out.
And don’t forget, http://www.appventcalendar.com/ is still giving away free iPhone games until December 24th.Posted via email from POST1604 | Comment »
