Here is my complete blind playthrough of Fireproof Games, "The Room."
Welcome to The Room!
A mysterious invitation leads to the attic of an abandoned house. In the room is a cast-iron safe laced with strange carvings and on top, a note from your distant companion. It promises something ancient and astonishing concealed in the iron chamber - you need only find a way in.
Although this game is divided into "Chapters" I will be breaking it down into Parts (confusing, but that is all part of the mystery, right?!). Some of the Chapters would be quite long and rather than upload a 90 minute video, I'd prefer to do (3) 30 minute installments etc. I'll try to denote what Chapter is featured in each Part...catching on yet?
I hope you enjoy...if you would like to see me upload The Room Two, please let me know!!
Here is the playlist for Hidden Folks...this is a nice, simple game that reminds me of the old Highlights magazines when I was little...with a bit of Where's Waldo, just with the added madness of animation. That said, we played thru the entire game...I'll try to add on any DLC/Updates as time allows. Hope you enjoy!
At long last the Skylanders Creator App is now available! In this video we check out the app, explore the options, and then create our very first Imaginator, Franky Star, an Undead Element Ninja!
What are your thoughts of the app? Do you already have some Skylander Imaginator combos in mind?
Franky Star: Skylands Most Limited Resource Undead Ninja Imaginator
1 AM Update!
I went in to play around with the app some more and much to my delight the three Imaginite Chests were already re-stocked!! The final chest, which previously yielded Barbella, unlocked Air Element Knight Sensei Wild Storm!!! So, enjoy his bio and full color art work!
Skylanders® is redefining the Toys-to-LifeTM phenomenon with yet another ground-breaking innovation, Skylanders Trap TeamTM. With Skylanders Trap Team, players can take characters out of the game and place them into physical “Traps” that kids can take with them, effectively bringing Life to Toys.
Like the console version of the game, all 175 existing Skylanders toys will be forward compatible and playable across all platforms, truly allowing Portal Masters to play wherever and whenever they want. Delivering another meaningful technological leap to the Skylanders franchise, the launch of Skylanders Trap Team on tablet underscores Activision’s continued commitment to bringing significant innovation to the Toys-to-Life category that the company firmly established in 2011.
The game introduces more than 50 new playable Skylanders heroes and more than 40 villains in an all-new adventure, delivering a diverse and dynamic story-driven gameplay experience filled with adventure, combat, puzzles, mini games, activities and platforming, all set within a variety of lush, compelling environments.
KEY FEATURES:
Unprecedented Tablet Innovation – Skylanders Trap Team on tablet represents a huge technological leap for the Toys-to-Life category as one of the first AAA experiences of its kind on the platform. The team is delivering a feat of development innovation with a game that was built alongside the console versions, driving an unparalleled level of performance from the tablet devices that it supports.
Complete Toys-to-Life, Life to Toys Tablet Experience – The Skylanders Trap Team Tablet Starter Pack gives fans everything they need for a rich gameplay experience wherever and whenever they want to play. Tablet players will experience the Skylanders Trap Team innovation through a Bluetooth Traptanium Portal and Bluetooth controller. They can also play the full game on their tablets using touch controls and two digital Skylanders characters and two digital Traps.
Two Ways to Play – Once players purchase the tablet Starter Pack and download the game via their tablet’s app store, the game will recognize the Bluetooth Traptanium Portal and unlock the full experience. Players will experience the same AAA content they come to expect from Skylanders console games, but with two ways to play:
“Controller” – Fans can play the game just like the console version using the Bluetooth Traptanium Portal and toys with the custom Bluetooth Skylanders game controller included in the Starter Pack.
“Touch Controls” – For players who prefer to use touch controls instead of a controller, fans have the option to play the game just using on-screen touch controls.
Innovative Gameplay – In Skylanders Trap Team, you can play as a Skylander or capture Skylands’ most wanted foes and unleash them for good. It’s up to Portal Masters to find these villains and capture them inside the new Traps that transport the villains into the real world via the Traptanium Portal. Once trapped, players can return the villain to Skylands as a playable character. This exciting new play pattern gives fans the option to switch between playing as a Skylander hero or a villain at any time, creating fun and unique “tag team” gameplay.

I have had a lot of you asking me for a few months about Skylanders Battlegrounds coming to Android...
Well, the wait is over...Android users can finally download and enjoy Battlegrounds (as well as the relatively new Chapters 3 and 4) in the mobile game.
Battlegrounds provides yet another way to enjoy your Skylanders! It is currently unknown if the game will remain as a download, or wind up with a standalone starter pack like the iOS version. I would assume if one was to come out, it would have been announced, but the way things have gone lately, who knows.
Should something similar to the iOS version of Battlegrounds pop up, I will let you know. Battlegrounds is actually one of the big reasons I picked up my iPad. GameStop's Starter Pack featured the Platinum Treasure Chest and, more importantly, the super cool Royal Double Trouble.
Call of Duty has become an annual staple for many gamers. Whether you enjoy playing solo campaign modes, or have all your friends over every Friday night it is without a doubt, one of the biggest titles out there. Even those who don't usually play games, or wouldn't consider themselves fan of a First Person Shooter can pick the game up and really enjoy it. I have several friends that have wound up getting their girlfriends involved in the action...Within a grace learning curve time frame, they often emerge as good, or better than their boyfriend who has been playing several years.
That said, one thing Call of Duty has not done is take on the mobile market...That is until now.
Call of Duty: Strike Team hit the market exclusively for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch users. It retails for a modest $6.99 and has been receiving great reviews, particularly for those waiting for Ghosts.
The Blast Furnace, Activision's new mobile development studio cranked this one out and designed it specifically to cater to the touch screen capable mobile devices. A key, new feature is the ability to switch, on the fly, between the classic First Person View and a new, tactical top-down Third Person View.
You can see from the screencaps that this is well polished and bodes well for the future.

I think the key thing here is to remember that Strike Team was designed and intended to be played on mobile devices. If you are a seasoned veteran of the console experience, keep that in mind. The goal here is to offer up "on the go" Call of Duty action that can fill in dead time, make commutes more interesting, or keep break time at work cutting edge.
Here is the Strike Team Trailer:
And fear not Android users! The Blast Furnace should have your version out some time this fall.

Well, after posting on Twitter that we upgraded to the new Samsung Galaxy S III I had several people request an unboxing...so here it is:
*Please note, I do not intend for this to be comprehensive, list off all the phone's features, or showcase any of them...I'll leave that to others. This video is just what the title says...an unboxing.
This phone is amazing...It is super quick, call quality is great, the pictures/videos are outstanding, and my only real complaint after this past week is the lack of a standard/traditional ring tone...That said, when your big complaint revolves around a ringtone, you know you have a nice phone.
