games :: RAVENSWORD at the app store!

iphone :: RAVENSWORD released today - at app store now!!

Speaking of  iPhones, I awoke this morning to mine playing  "Papa loves Mambo" . It was my son, Josh with GREAT news! Apple just released his rpg game RAVENSWORD : THE FALLEN KING...only a few hours ago! I am soooo excited for him and so VERY PROUD of him!!  Everyone was on pins and needles last week when apple rejected the game submission due to a glitch in the engine that it was created on. But it was quickly fixed, resubmitted and apple has passed it with flying colors. Here are the details from TOUCH ARCADE:

"Apple must have expedited the reapproval of Crescent Moon Games' Ravensword as it appeared in the App Store early this morning for $6.99.

Similar to recent Elder Scrolls games like Morrowind or Oblivion, Ravensword is an open world roleplaying game with both a main quest line to follow and a considerable amount of side-quests. The developers have quoted anywhere between 6-8 hours of gameplay to complete the initial quest without taking side-quests into account.

The Ravensword game world is surprisingly detailed for an iPhone game, and performs remarkably well. Along the way you will equip your character with all kinds of different magical items and slay hordes of enemies as the main quest line slowly reveals your character's mysterious identity."

So people, this spectacular RPG game is just another reason to go iPhone! You can buy RAVENSWORD : The Fallen King - iPhone's most ambitious roleplaying game at the Apple Store. It's only 6.99 and of course JUST COOL! Off to buy mine now, so  later peeps!

Oh...here's a preview of  the game - Joshy explaining the play...

iphone :: finally it sounds good

I love my iPhone and I won't go anywhere without it. With it, I can be anywhere and still have practically everything I need right at my fingertips!Internet, phone, my music, the weather,gps system, a ton of apps and much much more. But I have to admit I am not crazy about the sound quality. Whoever designed the tiny muffled speaker in this jam packed mobile phone wasn't too smart in that department. So was I happy when I saw that Yamaha has come out with an awesome speaker dock where you can park your iPhone (or iPod) and enjoy your iPod/iPhone games, music and movies wirelessly from anywhere in the room. The powerful Yamaha PDX-60 Speaker Dock uses exclusive Yamaha yAired (tm) wireless technology so you get Instant connection with no sound delays and quality sound with deep, rich bass. The convenience of dual charging means two separate iPhone or iPods can be charged at the same time, one using the dock on the speaker and another on the included charging cradle. This awesome product practically turns your iPhone into a mini home theater system!

With easy to use features such as a speaker that can be placed in any out-of-the-way location, easy operation (auto power on/off and volume control sync), a transmitter unit small enough that you can carry the iPod/iPhone around and talk on the iPhone with the transmitter attached, a cradle for setting the iPod/iPhone on a table, etc. and low power consumption it has it all! AND did I mention it even looks great with a choice of four color variations to match your iPod and room! Isn't technology, especially this technology JUST COOL?

art :: its only a paper head

Without a doubt, homemade Halloween costumes are far superior to generic ones bought in the costume shop or at the store. Artist Eric Testroete proves that with his "this years" halloween costume. He created his own head in cartoon-like BIG HEAD mode and made it entirely of paper. Using graphic software including 3D Max, he designed, modeled,printed and folded this faceted paper mask to go over his head and tuck under his jacket. Seems like a mighty intense process but the result? A very cool Eric in Wonderland effect. WOW!

Check out more of Eric's unusual art projects in his portfolio online. They're JUST COOL!

design :: walking on air

This "Mistral" staircase by Stiller is not only functional but has beautiful design sense as well. The "floating" stair treads give the illusion of walking on air!

About this painting - "This nostalgic painting was inspired by many childhood Christmases spent at my Grandparents' cozy old victorian house in the Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York! That's our 1958 pink and blue Ford Station Wagon car but instead of driving to get the tree, we would actually trudge up onto the mountain and chop one down for the living room. Usually a lopsided scraggly "Charlie Brown" tree that looked beautiful once it was up and festooned with shimmery old fashioned glass ornaments, ropes of glass beads and dripping with silver tinsel. Underneath the tree Granny always had a little town of micah covered cardboard houses, a mirror "skating rink" and lead skating figures. Christmas time was always such a magical time for us up on Schunnemunk Mountain! Good memories!"
