Paperless is the best to-do app. I love it.

I'm not sure how this is hard to understand... It moves the text cursor by swiping on the keyboard. So instead of using Apple's awful little magnifying glass to move your cursor somewhere when you need to make an edit in text, you can just slide your finger on the keyboard to move the cursor. Android swype is another thing, entirely.

That's not what he's asking. He wants a game that works like a to-do list.
I'm not looking for a good todo app (use Wunderlist -- it's aight, but most importantly has web & android versions) just a fun one.
This might not exist and maybe Epic Win was the be-all end-all (still really surprised they didn't run with the concept more).

Yeah, it was such a great idea, but such a sloppy product. I remember being hyped for over a month, then just so disappointed the night I got it. There's a solid concept there... It would be nice if someone did something with it.I'm not looking for a good todo app (use Wunderlist -- it's aight, but most importantly has web & android versions) just a fun one.
Also, what ever happened to that guy on GAF that wanted to find a developer to put together his Words With Friends idea? I want to hear a happy ending on that story. =P

Definitely one of the coolest things I've played in a while. I really dig these RPG hybrids, but I wasn't sure how much more you get with the full version. Sounds like it's still a great deal even at the full price. I guess I'll have to nab it too.
Cross-posting a challenge from the iOS board-game thread:
Issuing a challenge to GAF: Beat Ghost Stories on Normal with random everything (4P).Not a firsties thing; I'll just be impressed if anyone can do it.
Going to be spending a little while myself trying it out....
Ghost Stories is so fun, I just need to remind myself to come back to it. Kinda wish it had achievements for random motivation.
i pulled this off btw.
no need to buy the game but if you have it please try to do it curious to see if anyone else can also need some motivation to try nightmare

Nope, the game blows. I really regret buying it even at $.99

Cut The Rope 2 (Experiment) is FREE.
Probably old, but the game is fantastic (although I've had more than my fill of "three stars this level" puzzle games) and maybe someone missed it,

Finally took the plunge today and:
A) I've made a JPN account for Jubeat Plus to get those juicy free 3 songs
B) finally put down 10$+ and bought Darius Burst. I was always jelly of the game on PSP (as some of you guys probably know I'm a shmup nut) and seeing that the game never had a drop in price since release back in February I've come to the conclusion that it was no good waiting anymore to get a discount. I wish the game had iCade support, hopefully it controls fine with touch controls on my iPad. If you guys are interested let me know and I could write down some impressions as soon as I've put my hands on the game a bit.
Non game-related question:
I decided to cave in and reactivate my Facebook account (yep, I was without one since having one years ago and proudly so), I was wondering if you guys could point me out what's the best way to use FB on iPad? Thanks!

I'm having the same problem on my iPod Touch 4g. I've tried everything that usually works to fix crashing apps(closing open apps, redownloading/reinstalling, restarting the iPod), but it always crashes within a few seconds of starting the game.

Lol, there's a proper FB app? I wouldn't know buddy... duh, no shit Funkie my friend but bear with me:
that's the best one IYO? Because it has 2 stars rating over thousands of votes, while other FB apps have 4 stars ratings and such.

Damn okay. Thanks for saving me $3.
To be fair, the controls do work well enough, the problem is with the terrible placement of the virtual sticks. If you're ok with them being placed at the very bottow of the screen I think you will be fine.

Yes. It's not good, but it is the best one.
So, Rebuild is like those Tap Tap Farm Zoo games, but it has zombies in it and actual missions and objectives that don't act out in real time, and actual strategy elements that may or may not result in actual death. Like an actual game! Brilliant.
I fucking suck at it.

I'd be interested to hear, price is putting me off with no valid feedback from gaffers so far.
It would be much worse if someone else was doing it better. I give fb credit for buying the best option that was available.
Humanity destroyed!
Finally won my first game in Plague Inc. I actually felt a little bad when the number of alive people was quickly reducing to zero, heh.
Cure research stopped at 87%. This time Canada was the first country to fall. I can hold grudges.
Great game. I wonder what's the difference between bacteria, virus, etc. Couldn't notice any.

Eh, okay. I'll give it a shot. Hopefully they'll update it to allow moving the controls.
I'm going to go and buy Plague Inc while it's on sale too, since they are supposed to add Universal support to it with the first update.

Yeah, think I'm finally close to my first "victory" as well. This is my third attempt, and this time I tried to spread the disease ultra fast before investing in the bacteria's deadliness. Seems to have worked. I also started in Canada this time around, as it was the country giving me the most trouble in previous games.
Very cool, albeit creepy as ****, game.
Yup, these types of games always bug me out.

Rebuild is super fun with a real nice soundtrack and has a nice set of higher difficulty modes that can really stretch your skill to the limit. Very much a thumbs up for the $1 it is selling for right now.
This time I raised the infectivity really fast, and then I accumulated DNA points enough to immediately raise the letality to high levels. I accumulated points instead of quickly spending because I didn't want to catch any attention. That way I managed to caught the world with their pants down, since when they realized how letal the disease was, it was already too late.
One useful tip is to demove all your upgrades that don't increase letality, antibiotics resistance or genetic reshuffle as soon as every single person in the world is infected. After all, when everybody is infected you don't need upgrades that raise infectivity anymore.
And yeah, game is really creepy. When everybody died I felt kinda creeped out, haha.
Some news on Ravenmark (from TA):
PROFIT!
Phase 1: Rave about "a game you found" about eliminating humanity on GAF
Phase 2: Let everyone become addicted and good at eliminating humanity.
Phase 3: ???
-everything is going according to plan-
PROFIT!
Huh, I wasn't aware of that apps tab beforehand. I went into iTunes and checked and it that box was checked. I unchecked it but then afterwards I couldn't do anything with the apps on my phone at all. I re-checked it then and it let me edit the apps through some little interactive phone thing in iTunes, and after some fiddling around on that I finally added JUST that app.
Regardless though, thanks for the help. It's figured out now.

I was wondering about that. Do you get DNA points back when you devolve stuff?

Well, it's definitely one more piece of expression on the heap on already existing zombie mess that says a lot about our collective-unconscious anxiety about the world we've helped create and where we think it may be headed. There's no denying it's weirdly cathartic.
Anyone know of a good keyboard case for iPad that doesn't require the use to pull the iPad out and assemble it into a stand? I guess I'm thinking if something more along the lines of a book, where the inside of the cover is a keyboard. Not sure if this exists or not, but I think I'd buy a stand alone keyboard before I bought one of the other type of cases.
I'm planning on buying Codify once I start learning lua, so I can screw around with programming some games I'll never finish/ won't be very good.

You get 2 DNA points back per trait, regardless of what trait it is.
Sye d'Burns

You don't get them all back, just a portion.
Another time this is useful: Say there has been a scientific breakthough in seizures, which you have as one of your symptoms. You'll want to devolve and lose that trait to slow their study of your disease.
This is for bacteria. It costs you 5 DNA points to devolve for viruses, so mutations are more damaging for your strategies.
Can you prioritize what's left of this list for me, GAF? Other recommendations from the Because We May sale is cool too.
Pretty sure I'm gonna grab Eufloria. Thanks!
Thanks for mentioning this game. I had fun playing it today even though I'm usually not into runner games. Good stuff.
If you ever needed confirmation how poor a level iOS reviewing is check out the score and review for Defender Chronicles 2 on Touch Arcade (4.5/5), with no comment on the horrific user interface and extremely strong IAP requirements (an issue which previously forced Squids to be knocked down to 4/5 despite having no need for IAPs). If this game was reviewed by the major gaming ecosystem it would be lucky to receive 3/5 in its current state.

If you haven't already, play DLC Quest. It's on the Mac App Store, Desura and XBLIG.
In App Purchase
An in app purchase.
A sad trend where you get a cheap/free game and you have to pay to unlock small in game items (e.g. gold).
In App Purchase. These can range in type from unlocking new level packs to in-game currency (which Defender Chronicles uses far too much of).
