Battleheart

How are you wasting the few precious moments you have left on this Earth? Me? I’m currently wasting a decent amount of time playing Mika Mobile’s Battleheart. It’s simple enough to pick up a game with only a few minutes free time, but interesting enough to keep me coming back for more. Worth checking out if you are an RPG or swords and sorcery nerd. I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.


I’m a convert…

Once upon a time I was a PC and adamantly so. Over the last couple of years I’ve become an Apple (though sadly I remain chubby and only got a hoodie out of the deal). It all started with the first gen iPod touch. I had wanted an iPhone but couldn’t justify the data plan. Over the course of a year I feel head over heels for the iOS device and it was my constant companion. Somewhere along the way, the fun I was having with iOS convinced me I should check out what all the fuss was about with OS X, and since I needed a new computer anyway, I got my first MacBook Pro. That was right around the time this comic started really. Then I got a 3G iPhone, followed by a first gen iPad, and then I was one of those schmucks crashing the Apple website trying to pre-order my iPhone 4. Now I’m sitting here staring at the new ads for the iPad 2, whispering “my Precious” while I wait for the Buy Now button to appear. Is there a point to this post? Not really.

These people bum me out…

hatemongers

My response to this whole thing. I’ve always thought the company was a bit off kilter with that closed on Sundays crap, but they take it even farther than I thought.

It’s amazing what small groups of people are producing these days. Props to Calder Greenwood.

Spectacular little comic…

Nothing is Forgotten by Ryan A. Great little comic that really demonstrates the power of images.


Real Racing 2

I haven’t ever been much of a racing game fan, in fact the closest I’ve been is probably Mario Kart for the Wii…and it has been a while since that. That being said, I took the plunge and downloaded Real Racing 2, the most expensive app I have ever purchased, and gave a chance last night. I’ve barely been able to put it down since.

Unlike many games, this one seems to understand that not all players want to be punished by their games; consequently it offers a number of control options and varying level of computer assists to make your races either easier or more challenging. The end result is that I can play with different control schemes and find the one that works for me.

The graphics are amazing. To paraphrase another source, we’re no longer looking at this game and saying “This is good for an iOS game.”, instead it’s just “This is a good game.”. So far it is a blast on career mode and I’m really enjoying my fully upgraded BMW M6.

The Shameful 2010 Booklist

Well, I failed pretty massively.

As E already said, we had a thing going to try to read more.  I didn’t succeed.  Maybe next year.

Here’s what I did get through.

The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson

Eating the Dinosaur by Chuck Klosterman

The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins

Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman

The Rest is Noise by Alex Ross

The Reader by Bernharnd Schlink

Ripped by Greg Kot

Storm Front by Jim Butcher

Game Change by Mark Halperin

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Fargo Rock City by Chuck Klosterman

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

The Girl who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson

The Girl who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest by Stieg Larsson

The Baby Chase by Tony Kornheiser

Encounter by Milan Kundera

I’m currently reading The Sack of Rome by Alexander Stille.  I saw him give a lecture earlier in the year and quite enjoyed it, and his book is very interesting, if a bit of a dry subject.

My favorite for the year has to be The Rest is Noise.  Very well written and informative.

We’ll see how I do next year.  I doubt it’s ever a bad thing to want to read more, and network television has done great things to keep me away from it.
