I DETEST Freemium Titles.

There are two new trends in iOS games that I can’t stand, Freemium titles and paid titles that require powerpacks, boosts or upgrades to complete (I guess a derivative of the Freemium title). I hate these kinds of games and refuse to even consider purchasing them. First off is the new bait and switch game called the Freemium title. The game starts off by being free but in order to advance or even complete the game you have to make some sort of in-app purchase, sometimes several of them. ZombieFarm is a perfect example of a fun little game that has been ruined by a constant stream of nags and a near endless need to buy something inside the game. I would gladly have paid $1.99 for this game to be left alone to harvest crops and build my zombie army. But the need to keep buying brains and the deliberate changes made by the authors to slow the game […]

More trains are on order

This train set has been a great deal of fun but Don was right. I want more. I’ve been eyeing more trains and yet more track. I’ve been toying with the idea of adding diesel engines to my train depot. I admit the urge has been too strong so I ordered two train sets and more track. Don’t chastise me! It’s easier to order track now than to add more shipping later! Yeah this little train hobby is becoming expensive. But dammit, those trains are cool! And the little noise they make is fantastic! And yes the trains did come from tandkhobby.com. Those guys are awesome!

Who put that Creeper in my living room?

Mistakes were made. There was a Creeper in my living room. They’re starting to act like wild wolves, hunting packs and picking on the weak. I was once again jumped by two Creepers in formation. The first one blew the front door to my house right off the hinges while the other fell into the massive creator it made thereby putting itself smack dab in the middle of my living room. On the whole scale of good and bad this was very bad since the living room is where I store all my materials. And since I lost all my stuff in the previous lava incident I had no weapons with which to defend myself. Apparently Don heard my girlish cries of terror and came running over to assist. With great haste he dispatched the cretins and helped me down off the ledge. Literally. I was trapped on the ledge the explosion made and couldn’t go anywhere because the Creeper […]

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!

Mistakes were made. A forest was incinerated. Let’s be clear, this wasn’t my fault! This was the work of a band of renegade sheep or pigs or cows hell bent on destruction and nefarious plans to ruin me. Something, I’m not sure what, caught fire and then proceeded to wander into my specially designed forest. Within moments several trees were engulfed and shortly thereafter the entire landscape was a raging inferno. If it hadn’t been my forest it would have looked quite spectacular. The fire spread, well, like wildfire and soon the entire area was burning. Nothing but glowing embers as far as the eye could see. Every one of my trees went up in smoke and in just a minute or two there was nothing left. Nothing left but the sound of my tears as I stood on the top of my newly created castle and watched all my hard work disappear. These are the times that try men’s […]
