Robot Unicorns on the iPhone!!

Hello All,

I would just like to take a moment to inform you all that Robot Unicorns has just made it to the iPhone. Yes, if there was ever something to be grateful for it is this.  Can somebody build a statue of the inventor of this game already!!

BTW, I just realized that the person singing the Robot Unicorn song is a guy, lol.  It’s pretty freaky.  I have to admit I couldn’t watch the whole thing.  Hit the link below for the video, be forewarned it is not for the faint of heart.

Let the Lost speculation Begin!

So, the last Lost episode debuted this past Sunday and it was pretty good.  But, I’m still trying to figure out what the hell it all meant.  Thankfully there are people who are smarter than me that can interpret it all.  Apparently, the flash sideways was not a flash sideways and most of the characters end up finding redemption.

But, what the hell did the island represent?  What was that light? Anybody have any clues?

Anyways, I can’t explain it, so I will leave you with an IGN video explanation from some fine folks who can.  No Jessica Chobot, sorry (I know I’m sad too).

Bosh’s Wish List Becomes Clear

According to an article from the Toronto Star which cites ESPN as a source, Chris Bosh has narrowed his list of potential suitors for the 2010 free agency market.

Those teams:  The Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, The New York Knicks and the Toronto Raptors.

The article also discusses LeBron James  and the impact his decision may have on  Chris Bosh’s choice.  If LeBron stays in Cleveland the market is wide open for Bosh, but if James decides to go to a certain team, Bosh may follow suit.

Let the guessing begin.

Personally, I believe that all of these teams would provide for some interesting scenarios for Bosh, but I believe that the three front runners for him are actually LA, Miami and New York.   Bosh has stated all along that he wants to play for a contender and those three teams would all provide for a great wing-man to partner up with Bosh.  In LA, he would get to play with Kobe, in Miami he would get to play with D-Wade and in New York he could play with LeBron.

Only time will tell.  What are your thoughts?  What team do you think Bosh will end up playing for?

Update: Bosh and his agent have denied these rumors…but, one has to think these teams are on the list considering their future potential/promise

Hidden Gems: Fantasy Online

Hey Guys, Guess What?  I will be adding a new section to my blog entitled “Hidden Gems.”  Each week (hopefully) I will post, what I believe to be a Hidden Gem.  A Hidden Gem could be anything from games, movies, restaurants, shows or places so send in your ideas and I will post them here.

This week I will be talking about a game called Fantasy Online.  Fantasy Online is a Facebook game that is a mix between Zelda, Pokemon and every kind of MMORPG.  It currently has around 3,000 MAUs, but its DAU/MAU is pretty solid at around 25%.  Its also pretty funny.   Come check it out! What do you think?

Simple Arcade Games that Rule the Roost

Are you a designer of an Arcade game on Facebook?

Well, let me point you towards two great Arcade examples on Facebook that could help you transform your business Bejeweled Blitz and Combustic.

Why are they good examples?

1. They possess short play times – On a platform such as Facebook, most players don’t have time to play for long periods of time.  Having a one minute time limit lets people play once or several times if they want.
2. They give players goals – Simple concept, get the highest score you can within the allotted minute, an easy challenge that can be highly addictive.
3. They reset scores – Resetting the scores every week gives new players an accomplishable goal/challenge to achieve
4. They sell upgrades/unlockables – By playing the game, you are able to earn coins that can be used to purchase upgrades which may lead to an even higher score.  They also give developers possible revenue opportunities.

So far, Combustic has not implemented virtual goods, but if they did they would provide themselves with great monetizing opportunities.

Have you guys played these games? Do you agree?

Fear the Deer!

Brandon Jennings is on his way to leading the Milwaukee Bucks to its first playoff series victory in several years without Andrew Bogut.  Who would have ever thought at the beginning of the year that this Bucks squad would have made it this far.  Brandon Jennings has been spectacular and the additions of Salmons, Stackhouse and Delfino have sparked this team.  Tonight they get a chance to finish the Hawks off at home and I believe they will.  What do you think?
