Posted by Admin - January 26th, 2012

The Wind Through the Keyhole by Stephen KingThe Wind Through the Keyhole by Stephen King is one of my Best Bets of 2012. It is a new Dark Tower novel, and with all Dark Tower releases it features a new artist. This time Jae Lee.

A few days ago, I received a flyer in the mail from Grant Books, the publisher responsible for producing the gorgeous limited and signed edition of The Wind Through the Keyhole. Here is that flyer featuring some new, unseen art!

Tiny Tower

Posted by Admin - September 25th, 2011

Tiny Tower is one of the most popular games on the iPhone right now, and deservedly so.
It’s sort of an oversimplified version of Sim Tower for anyone old enough to remember that. You manage your building, buy floors, assign residents that move in to jobs and make sure all the stores are stocked so you get more money to buy more floors. That’s it in a nutshell, and it works. It’s the attention to detail in the graphics and mechanics that make it hard to put down, even if you are just a casual gamer. The game is free, but freemium, meaning you can spend money in game to advance more quickly. The thing I appreciate about how it’s been implemented is that the game in no way forces you to buy anything. You can fully enjoy the game and every aspect of it without spending any money, unlike so many freemium games that limit certain items.

Anyway, the game divides floors into Food, Service, Recreation, Retail, Creative & Residential. You need the last one so you can get more residents to move in, and you need 3 residents to fully man a store. You can upgrade your elevator, rename stores, customize how your lobby and your residents look, get bonuses for assigning residents to their dream job, the list goes on. And every app update adds new bits and features.
Give it a try, I’m sure you’ll like it. This is my tower by the way, a work in progress.
