Slacker Radio Service

Have you ever been working on a project and realized you needed some music to help you get through it quicker? On any other day you would go to Pandora radio, but they seem to have the same songs going each time. With little change you begin to notice how old the stations are becoming, and how boring the music really is. But you can’t skip over that song, because then an advertisement will play through. With all of the advertisements which seem not to fit the station you’re on makes it feel less and less like a radio, but more of a paying service. Introducing Slacker radio, an improved version of the Pandora radio service that has a wider variety of music.  When the advertisements play it actually fits the station and sounds like a live radio station. Multiple genre’s to pick from and plenty to listen to, give this service a try.

Flappy Bird Review

Over the past week I’ve been hearing a lot of good and bad things about this hit sensation called “Flappy Bird”. But what is flappy bird? Believe it or not it is an Android and iOS game made by Dong Nguyen and as soon as it became a big hit, it was taken off of the map due to the creator saying he didn’t want this fame and didn’t mean for this game to be that successful. So on February 8th Flappy Bird was taken off of the app store so no one could play the game anymore. I wondered why this game was a personal favorite by many, so I decided to look around until I found an exact copy of the game made in Flash.  So it may not be the original, but it can give me a good insight on what the hype was all about for this game.

Game Time Episode 1: Contra

Game Time was an idea I had back in summer 2013 that was going to combine the use of video game reviews and a dry (almost non-existent) sense of humor. With the holidays coming and going I was finally able to work on the idea a bit further, allowing me to finish the first episode. In this episode of game time we are going to be looking into the game called “Contra” and it’s personal creepy factor. From the creature design to the general idea of the game itself, we find out that many different levels of creepy exist in this classic NES game.

FAMAZE Review

While browsing One More Level found an interesting looking game that almost reminded me of the NES days called FAMAZE. Interesting name aside, this is a free to play game that was designed by what I would assume to be a company, but could also just be an artist who wanted to do something different. This game was created using the 16-bit Fantasy sprite set which was created by the same people who made the game. You can buy this set for $40 on the company’s website.

The story of the game is as follows: “The mad king has turned the happy rutabagas of the land into monsters and is searching for the magic recipe for royal Rutabaga Pudding. You must delve into the kind's domain to rescue the rutabagas, find the gem of truth, and uncover the recipe before the king eats everyone.” Other than it seeming to be a silly story, it’s a pretty simple goal, collect these items and get from point A to point B with no problems. You can only choose one difficulty when you start the game which is easy mode, but once you beat the game you can choose expert mode which will challenge your skills that you have learned throughout the first play through.

Bouncers Adventure

In today’s video we are going to be looking into a free android game designed by radioactive sloth studios called “Bouncers adventure”.  The game is a mix of a 2D platformer and a coin collection mechanic.  The whole point behind this game is to collect as much coins as you can and reach the end of the level as fast as you can as well. The quicker you do so the more points and coins you get, which will be useful for purchasing power ups of some kind. You can find this game in the Google play store or on Amazon as well. So if you have the free time, give this game a shot.
