Time well spent! Netfiix looks great on the Vita.

I accidently sent the request to TheGrimReaper, and i have no idea who that is. Deleted him/her and send you a request
So the colours on the left show you what colour the bombs are and the colour of the 4piece object that has the diamond (the colour of the square diagonally across from the diamond to be specific).
First few taps don't touch the bomb colours otherwise it is an instant strike-out..try and see where the 4 piece with the diamond is...and tap around to reveal clues to figure it out.
The small circles mean nothing is there. The treasure icon means something is there!
You're not hunting for treasure though! Just the diamond mostly..so don't just click any treasure icon you see
I think less taps the better (total of 5) and extra points with those other items ( +ve or -ve points but not insta-kills/wins like bomb and diamond are ).

Damn your board, Skyzard. :|
And besides, I only gave you the basics! Sheesh!
What an unoriginal name!I accidently sent the request to TheGrimReaper, and i have no idea who that is. Deleted him/her and send you a request
hey i didn't tell you to send so many my way
And besides, I only gave you the basics! Sheesh!
So, basically, put bombs and traps on the same colored panel as the diamond, and try to confuse people with clever placement of auxiliary icons on misleading colors and squares.
you're getting five more
oh now you don't want my puzzles
you're getting five more
YESSSS >_< fall my pretties
Yep! There is a bit of minesweeper to it with the placements...so try and work through how you would play it out (harder to do this when you're not totally familiar with the gameplay but get's easier quite quickly)
You can sometimes give them super easy maps by just placing bombs on all the diamond square colour.. so haven't quite figured out the best type of map yet...one my strategies atm is to put all of them quite close together..but doesn't always end up as a difficult level...I need more time with it.
I'm finding the 10/day limit brutal...especially with 0 from near!
Ahh damn 32GB does seem quite expensive. Was hoping I wouldn't have to fork out so much
Amazon's price spiked back up to $81.58. I ordered one a week or so ago for $71.00

ususai b-bakanow branny and TGH are in cahoots
I got cocky and screwed up. ):

Doing a few hundred miles of travelling next week so hopefully pick up some maps.Looks great. Combat looks a little similar to PSO, which I like.

you almost got me with that last one branny
Will make sure to watch this soon!
Nope. ):
Sent a friends invite.Anyone want to send me some Treasure Park maps?
My PSN name is: minimoke
Thanks
All out for today minimoke but will add you and some tomorrow (psn is like Y_S).
Got a few people with that map ! But yeah need to remind myself not to play while smoking and to take it nice and slow/double check possibilities - love this app. My 'brain teaser' fix..
Smart way to hook you with the "in a row" feature being focussed on...and also I'm sure quite a few people with vitas will be expanding their friendslist now - especially if they realise how fun it can be - I don't think the initial tutorial is enough for that - they should set you up with 5 or so practice maps that you can play and don't count to score (offline only).
Man...I can imagine some people just driving around with their vita haha trying to pick up maps - shame mine isn't 3G...!
Also thanks lazybones18 for the Ragnarok Odyssey - Quick Look video, movement and controls look quite good actually...will consider it properly again! Might nab it while I wait for soul sacrifice.

Calling non giant bomb videos quick looks is blasphemy especially with capital letters on Q and L.
Shame!!!!
Got me all excited
No
In that case, could you please add me to your friends list?

I don't think we can find them cheaper anywhere else. :/
Definitely agree on the tutorial thing. After playing i had no idea what to do. Only when i had played a few and had some GAF help did i understand. Took me a few more maps to get any good at it, though.
I always leave my Vita on and auto Near on when i go anywhere. Doing about 200 miles next week then ~500 the week after, so should get some good hits
Exactly the same for me, and I can see a lot of people giving up/dismissing the app because of it....which would be a shame tbh.
So jealous.. :xI always leave my Vita on and auto Near on when i go anywhere. Doing about 200 miles next week then ~500 the week after, so should get some good hits
No
Hold on a second, you can send treasure maps to non-friends via Near right ? Some random souls in your neighborhood can pick up your maps when they check their Near coverage.
Yeah they definitely could have done a better job at making it accessible and easy to understand.
Getting a 3G Vita was the best decision i made. I love the 3G-ness. Being sat on a train sending PSN messages is ace

I agree ! Had Vita with 3G subscription for 2 months. It's more fun than an iPhone 4S.

Purple token, dynamite and lightning.
Get lots of bonuses on the board, try to spread them out evenly with the shuffle button. Then let the time run out, all bonuses will activate.
If you're lucky, every token will be erased. Took me over 150 tries
I only sub when i am going somewhere. i'll be purchasing a sub for this month, obviously. Hopefully there'll be lots of TP maps in the city. I live in the countryside so not many Vita people
Yeah, I bought a 3G Vita but really shouldn't have.
4G LTE > 3G
That will work too if your contract allows tethering (or you take the risk doing it without the telco's blessing), but I want to keep my 4S battery life separate from my Vita usage. It already lasts less than a day these days !
4G will eat battery life even more fiercely.
In any case, if you have anywhere Internet access on Vita and iOS/Android, you should be good.

well guess I went for it even with PDf coming soon
That's just make my phone battery die incredibly quickly, though

Yes. On top of that, 3G Vita should have more accurate and robust geolocation (for Vita games/apps).

He could have called it "Quick Look on GiantBomb" and you'd still be a fool to believe Giant Bomb is covering an unreleased Japanese Vita game.
Exactly. 3G Vita is just a lot more convenient.

sucks, but what can you do? but from a QA/programmer perspective....how would the game check your existing saves to see which achievements you have accomplished?
besides, i find that this way it separates the hardcore MGS fans from the casual players just out to get a free trophy
I plat'd MGS3HD on the PS3, and i intended to replay it on the vita to plat'd it again
i love the game THAT much
This is why I bought the 3G Vita, but almost nothing uses the GPS and more personally, I never take the Vita out.
I found though testing my 3G Vita and a wifi version that location was still pretty much the same (in near and maps app).
Because of that I won't feel bad buying the white Vita bundle next month.

Thats a really nice deal.
I think it depends on where you live. In some areas, the Wifi geolocation may not work as well. 3G Vita combines 3G and Wifi geolocation for maximum accuracy (e.g., in indoor areas). So it should always outperform a Wifi unit where geolocation is concerned. That said, Sony improved Wifi geolocation in 1.80. So perhaps the experience is closer now.
Application-wise, I agree they have not used geolocation much. I'm hoping some future PS Mobile apps will change that. Cellphones have built-in GPS anyway.

Good boy.
Waitin for dat Kat DLC.
