Neuroshima Hex: Tile Based Combat

February 29, 2012 by Jayvee Leave a Comment

While searching for the best board game translations into iOS, I chanced upon Neuroshima Hex, a tile-based tactical game for 2-4 players. Based on its original Neuroshima franchise (a Polish RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world), Neuroshima Hex is the “Final Fantasy Tactics” of its RPG counterpart. The iOS conversion is essentially the same game, […]

Took an iPhone 4s underwater. This is what it looks like.

February 22, 2012 by Jayvee 2 Comments

A couple of days ago a friend lent me a Patima underwater casing for the iPhone 4 / 4s. It was rather intriguing because as far as I know this is the first commercially available “hardcore” housing for a mobile phone. And by hardcore we mean Patima. These guys build very high-quality professional underwater housings […]

If you’re in the mood for Dungeons & Dragons style gameplay for your iOS device, Dungeon Crawlers is a cell-shaded offer you can’t refuse for a USD $1.99.

8 iOS Board Games You Should Own

January 25, 2012 by Jayvee 2 Comments

When people get onto a heated debate about what platform is better — Android vs iOS, I always chime in and tell them that the one thing the iPhone and iPad have is a great selection of board games converted into iOS. It’s taking devs forever to port their games to Android and this is […]

Apple’s old brand ambassador strategy

January 18, 2012 by Jayvee Leave a Comment

It’s quite interesting to look back at Apple’s old marketing strategies. FOr a time they were big on endorsers and testimonials and this one from 1994 catches the eye because of the Chips Ahoy box that Tim Girvin (of Girvin Design) is holding up like a spyglass. Nabisco was one of their clients. This was […]

Smoke and Mirrors

January 11, 2012 by Jayvee 6 Comments

Rumor has it that Foxconn, one of the China-based manufacturers is assembling the new iPad 3 and that it will begin shipping in roughly a month and a half. With huge demand for Apple’s iDevices around the world, it seems that only China can accomodate this massive scale and deliver iPad after iPad to the […]

Looking back: When Apple wasn’t compatible with anything

January 4, 2012 by Jayvee 12 Comments

EDIT: It looks like my post on NTFS + FAT32 has taken fire. All I wanted to point out was that it isn’t as easy to get NTFS working out of the box and the solution isn’t apparent to non-Macheads. There are both paid and free solutions to get this done. That is all I […]

A look into Josh Tucker’s Multitasking UI for iOS

December 27, 2011 by Jayvee 5 Comments

Guess what I got for the holidays? An iPhone 4s. Went to the bar, nonchalantly and yeah showed it to friends. This is coming from an Android guy (I had owned an iPad 2 but was never into the iPhone craze) who always felt that a single hardware button wasn’t enough for a phone. I […]

The Evolution of Apple Ads

December 13, 2011 by Jayvee Leave a Comment

Apple Ad – 1976 In the beginning, Apple was just like any other IT company. It spoke in babble and in words common men were not made to understand. It spoke of numbers. Of hardware. And specs.

Then and Now: How Apple Sold Computers

December 8, 2011 by Jayvee 2 Comments

This is a print ad for the Apple II from 1979. I heard from a distributor that although we’re exiting 2011, Apple always requests every region to come out with print ads and priority seems to be placed here, compared to online spending. Whether this is attributed to the age and inclinations of their overall […]

Read all the Books in Skyrim on your iPad

November 30, 2011 by Jayvee Leave a Comment

Bought Skyrim for the PS3 at launch. More than 50 quests, 24 in game days, more than 48 hours of game time spent. Wow. And I’ve just barely scratched the surface of one of the year’s most immersive titles. Bethesda sure put in a lot of detail into this masterpiece. Your armor loses its shine. […]

Battle Nations: Still playing it even if it has a Farmville Element

November 23, 2011 by Jayvee 3 Comments

There’s a relatively new game out on the iTunes store and that’s Battle Nations. From the title description it seemed like a hex based strategy game similar to Advanced Wars or Final Fantasy Tactics. A free download later, I was mistaken. Battle Nations is a premium quality game for the iOS that combines the incessant […]

If Apple was a telco…

November 16, 2011 by Jayvee Leave a Comment

In a perfect world, Jobs wanted the iPhone to run 100% under his terms. That would mean not having to choose AT&T as an exclusive telco partner. It would mean seeding the idea of a phone that could run on an unlicensed network in the same way that we use WiFi. Walk in the heart […]
