Zombies, Run!

Zombies RUN!

The Game: Zombies, Run!
Genre: Immersive action-adventure

Developer: Six to Start
Platform: Android (also available on iOS and  Windows Phone)

Zombies, Run! is an audio adventure running game where you run, walk, or jog your way to victory in the real world. You can even do this to your own soundtrack by selecting music on your device. As you wander around your day to day tasks in the real world, you pick up items that range from bandages to boxes of light bulbs. Using these supplies you’ve picked up you get to strategically reinforce your home base. Part strategy, the game lets you choose how to upgrade your base, and manage who gets those useful supplies. Activating the zombie chase mode adds even more entertainment as you have to break out into a sprint (or increase your current walking speed by 20%) to escape the zombies chasing you. The looks you will get while at the mall, suddenly sprinting down the corridor, running away from pretend zombies is alone worth the entire game.

Online Passwords

Recently some major password database leaks have been making headlines all over the internet.

Last.fm the social music website, LinkedIn a professional social networking website, and eHarmony a well known dating website have all been victims of a recent cyber-crime spree of database break-ins. LinkedIn in particular is reporting that more than 8 million passwords may have been compromised.

Smartphones

This is my rant about the smartphones and iPhones.

Ok so they put a better processor in the iPhone 4S. Added some fancy voice recognition stuff. Added 64gb size. And made the camera 1080p and 8 mega pixels. Increased talk time on 3G. Decreased wifi data usage. Made it heavier but made it smaller.

There is nothing truly revolutionary with the iPhone 4S. Next will be the iPhone 5 after that they will release the iPhone 5S. And it will repeat. But at each number increment they will add some fancy feature many of which will may be deemed not needed. Example FaceTime that was a great feature but honestly how often do people use it? I’ve only used it like 5 time. Don’t get me wrong the phones will get faster processors to handle the new feature but it seems we have reached the limit for now. Anything else added maybe unnecessary.

The windows phone has some feature catching up to do but they will catch up. Android and iPhone I believe have reached the point of optimum features. Nothing else is really needed in a phone.

I believe phone technology has reached a point where smartphones have everything they need. Phones have been revolutionized but I believe that revolution is over.

It’s time for a new revolution in something else. Phones are good now. They do everything anyone has ever imagined and even more.

Old Times

I remember when I first heard about the fact that the iPod Touch was going to come out and it was going to have WiFi. My initial reaction was why does an iPod need WiFi? The ideas I came up with for the possibly of things you could do with an iPod with WiFi are, use it to crack WiFi networks, run nmap on open networks, use it torrent music and never need to use a computer to update the iPod music.
Now it seems that an iPod without WiFi just seems so, how shall i put this I think I’ll go with disconnected. An iPod without WiFi seems so disconnected. Funny how much things change.

Wow

All I can say is wow. That even after seven or so years of not talking to someone, you still get along with them and it’s basically picking up right where we left off it’s awesome. All I can say right now is that I can not wait to see what lies ahead. Only time will tell. The fact that I like spending time with that person makes things that much better and worth while.

3 Hours of Stick Men

The other day I was at a friends house, he decided to draw some art. Well I absolutely suck at art related things, that are not on the computer. I had nothing to do while he drew his picture, so I decided to draw stick men. I drew stick men for three hours. I ended up drawing a picture of some stick men war, I also drew my favorite word/question why. The photo above and the ones below the break are the result. Enjoy.

Google TV

 A few days ago Google announced Google TV. You can read more about Google TV here. The Google TV idea is an old one, there are already devices that can do the same thing that the Google TV will do. For example Apple TV. The Apple TV would be a better solution for people who already have iDevices and have bought movies and/or music in iTunes. More about the Apple TV here. Another example of a devices that already does the exact same thing that the Google TV will do is Boxee. Boxxe is an open source solution that can be used on any Windows, Linux, Mac computer, and you can even hack install it to an Apple TV. More about Boxee here. The only major difference is that the Google TV will be built in to some TVs and will be able to browse the internet, and from the sounds of it, it will have the Google app store on it. The only way as of right now I would consider buying a Google TV is if they make it 3D and have gesture recognition now that would be cool.
