Hey, everyone. Let's talk about a few apps from the I-Tunes store. As you know, playing around with new apps and games has become a bit of a hobby of mine. It is fun.
I've got a new photo tool called Picturizr. It's free and it's fun, which are two of my favorite words. Within a few minutes of downloading the app, I had put glasses, bushy black eyebrows and a big nose on a picture I have of a cross-eyed deer. Huge fun and just my maturity level too. Then I put pictures of my grandchildren on a stage with thousands of cheering fans, as they rocked on with guitar and keyboard and vocals. Finally, I took a picture of Walter the Turtle from my photo library and used Picturizr to put him behind bars in a jail cell. There are hats, tongues, eyes, noses and other neat stuff you can cannibalize onto your photos as well.
My wife is the great puzzler, as I've mentioned before. She recently downloaded a new game called TanZen. It's a geometric deal in which you have to take these pieces and fit them together in such a way as to create all those shapes which you hated in high school geometry. My wife seems to think this is a cool way to achieve inner peace because she zones out for an hour or two at a time. There is a lite version (free) and the paid version is a mere buck. That's a dollar, for all my euro spending friends across the pond. Isn't American slang a bit odd? There are hundreds of the TanZen puzzles so knock yourself out. My wife is quiet as a little mouse so they must be good.
Another new I-Pad, I-Phone, I-Pod game that I have is called Trucker's Delight. There's a free version which I sprang for. Allow me to give you the recipe. You are a tattooed, long-haired, do-rag wearing trucker who tries to be friendly with a blond in a convertible. The lady digitally salutes you and you score points ( in the game ) by ramming her car, oncoming cars etc. It's a cute little game and although I can't say that it rocks my world, I can say I didn't have to hire a 10 year old to teach me how to play it, as I've had to do with some other games.
After my rant to the game developers on the last post, I've decided to try simpler games. I have several more that I'm trying and I'll update you shortly. To be fair, part of my rant with the developers was fueled by the denigrating loss of my Atlanta Falcons which drove me to drink just two nights ago. I'd forsake football all together if I could find something more fun to watch.
