iCloud vs iTunes, does it matter? I know I have a couple of apps which are no longer on the store, will I lose them?
Man, I'm glad i'm not the only person who is having problems with the game on iOS 7, but it still sucks that it won't work

I hate iTunes so since iCloud I always used that.
One thing I like over the iTunes sync is that after like 1 minute you can start using the device with your contacts and such while it downloads the apps.
I do not know about lost apps tough.

Syncing with iCloud, you will lose your pulled apps unless you back them up to your PC first. An iCloud sync just tells your device to download the apps from the app store, and if they don't exist on the app store anymore they can't be downloaded.

WHYYY whyyy am I so stuck for money right now
WHYYY whyyy am I so stuck for money right now
I'm hoping maybe someone in here can help? I need a gift code for the Canada app store for Tanto Cuore. I can't buy one because my account is in the US. If someone can get me a code I can Paypal you the cost. Please?
You wouldn't be able to redeem it on your US account, you'd still need to create a Canadian account to use it.
Can do that with iTunes syncing too. It's only the restore bit that requires a USB connection.
I prefer using iTunes for restoring to a new device as that's much much faster than re-downloading apps from the app store, and it retains pulled apps ofc.

Hadn't heard of that one before but looks very nice. Reminds me a lot of Zelda: the windwaker.

Not actually that important
GAF iOS Membership needs options for the new iPad(s)
Yeah, I know that. My wife is Canadian, with a Canadian account, and I want to gift it to her.
I just backed up and synced my old iPad to my iTunes. When I get the one should I also de-authorize off my account? I have a bunch of machines (4) authorized. Or does it not matter because it is account specific and not device?
Dash Kappei

That doesn't matter. Just plug your new iPad in, and restore from back up. After the restore it will ask you for a whole bunch of password (iCloud, Apple ID, various emails, etc.)
Oooooh. It's a surprise. Ok. I get it. Let me know if you don't figure it out.Yeah, I know that. My wife is Canadian, with a Canadian account, and I want to gift it to her.

For a quick Rayman review, it is very much more of the same but bigger and better in terms of content.
I think it is important to note, that while Rayman Jungle Run was great on devices like an iphone 4, you are out of luck this time. Levels often run on multiple planes which is a nice effect, but the framerate is killed as a result.
If you have an old device, you should probably give it a miss.

Sid Meier's Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies is as well now. AU$5.49
Edit: I get that they went with the premium pricing in comparison to the first one, and complaints about structure / confusion et al... but am I the only one who thought the game was pretty average? Started seeing the same missions within half an hour, and it was all just rinse, repeat.
I'll update the OP with stuffs (Sorc2, Rayman at the very least!) later today.
Don't have to do any of that unless you change your PC.
Use a USB network drive! I keep the Mobile Applications part of my iTunes library on an external for this reason (the rest is on my SSD).I hate keeping 32/64GB of my MacBook Pro's tiny hard disk for that tho
I personally avoid all that password annoyances by using an encrypted backup, then you only have to put in one password.

Looks cool!
Tiny Death Star crashes whenever I try to fill the last job slot on my second commercial floor, doesn't matter if I do it from the floor itself, the residence or through the menu. :/
edit: the Emperor mission didn't register either after the recreation floor finished construction. Bugs ahoy!!
edit 2: started from zero by reinstalling the game and didn't get any of the above. Hope it stays this way.
edit 3: nope, still getting crashes while trying to fill certain job slots. Fuck this, I'll wait for an update.

I can't find tiny death star in the App Store!
I don't think it does, I would use iFunbox to move the game over.

yep.
think this would work better if I bring my ipad to work and have it propped up next to my computer all day.
Ah, Rayman and Tiny Death Star. Of course I leave my phone at home on a day like this!
Also, as of last night Terraria now has WIFI multiplayer.
I tried to find a game last night, but after a couple minutes I didn't get a response. The update had just launched, though.

Anyone check out meltdown?

TA forums seem to be liking it.
kinda top down gears of war (with cover, vaulting over cover, chainsaws etc) with loot and drop in drop out co-op (which is apparently busted atm).

Looks like Bastion with 3D graphics. Anyone try it?

That blurb sounds to me like they added -local- multiplayer, not online.

Done
Also, here's the overall breakdown of GAFers devices:
Of a total of 340 people.
Seeing as the 4 reigns supreme it might be a good time to update your device listings if you want, shoot me PMs.
The list is here: http://goo.gl/WfA0vo

iPods left out in the cold....Really?

I'm kind of weird and private on online game things but I'm a +1 to iPad Air owners (as of last night) if that means anything. Still trying to figure out if anything went missing in the jump - I'm not sure but I think I lost a few songs in taiko no tatsujin + T_T
Restore purchases?

In regards to keeping a record of people's devices. It's mostly a fun metric and to give people an idea of others with similar devices that they can add to friends for game matchups. That was more of an 'issue' in the early days of iOS when games weren't generally universal.
Giving up device details is not a requirement to be on the iOS GAF list though, not at all.
Tiny Death Star impressions
It's a pixel-based Death Star tamagotchi on your iOS device basically, like Tiny Tower before it, you'll spend more time tending to your construction than actively 'playing' this game and that's perfectly fine. It's riddled with Star Wars-infused humour and tidbits that both Tiny Tower and Star Wars fans alike will love. Nimblebit strikes a really nice balance, you'll play it for weeks a few minutes a day. It's free to play, but the IAPs are never forced and you'll be able to 'complete' it in a few weeks without spending a dime.
Rayman Fiesta Run impressions
Rayman Jungle Run was the best 'runner' game on iOS... Rayman Fiesta Run is now the best 'runner' game on iOS. Also, calling it a runner game is a great disservice as it's so so much more than that, it's platforming/racing bliss on iOS. This is what Sonic dreams of. GET THIS!
Sorcery! 2 impressions
Sorcery! is a four-part epic adventure, I haven't played part 2 yet but part 1 was some of the finest make-your-own-adventure fused with table-top roleplay gaming I've ever had and I expect nothing less from this one. A masterful adaptation of the Sorcery! gamebook series from the 1980's.

Does the in-game timer seem off to anyone else in Tiny Death Star?
For example: the Cafe that I started with takes only a minute to stock the cheapest item. Sometimes it takes an actual minute to stock, but other times it stocks almost immediately, and sometimes it takes half a minute or so... just completely random amounts of time.
Similarly, I've had floors with items that are supposed to take (for example) ten minutes to stock, but it takes noticeably longer. I need to actually time it.
Also, I don't get what the Imperial floors are for. I have an Interrogation room - the game forces you to build it early on - and when I get a supply VIP they spend ten minutes "making" Rebel Secrets, but I have no idea what those do.

/// OP UPDATE \\\
// Special Guest Star from April //
I can only buy so many games at once.
Awaiting impressions on Meltdown and Pathogen, both look like OP worthy to me.
Also this??? :O Drei by Etter Launch Trailer It's an online collaborative tower building game..
Seems fine for me. The Imperial floors are basically extra floors that make items needed for missions. I recommend not creating many of these until you have a significant amount of regular floors as these do not bring in income other than the mission rewards but they inflate the floor construction cost like other floors do.
