The “Hardest Game Ever” is Kinda Hard

Looking for new apps?? Same here… I decided to check out the top 25 the other day, and came across an app claiming to be the “hardest game ever”.  The name of the app is appropriately called Hardest Game Ever and is made by an Asian dude (yay for Asian dudes) named Ming Liang Chien.

But is it the world’s HARDEST game????

Well, I’ve been playing it the last couple of days, and the verdict… is still out.  I’m not about to say this game is H-A-M, but yes, it is slightly difficult.  I probably need to play it more because I’m only on “Normal” right now, and have yet to reach the “Crazy” levels, which I’m sure are just ridiculous (will provide an update when I get there).

But overall?  Yes, quite challenging and fun if you want to waste a few minutes of your day / entertain yourself.

The game offers different stages of activities, including:

  • Mathematics
  • Golfing
  • Parachuting out of a Plane
  • Knifing action (reminded me of Fruit Ninja a little)
  • Pictionary-esque stuff
  • and more… if you buy the PRO version

So if you have A.D.D. (like yours truly) or simply like variety, this game will def keep you interested… to say the least.  Each level lets you earn up to a maximum of 5 stars based on how quickly/accurately you complete each level.  So far, I’ve been able to get 5 stars on every level through Normal mode. The Crazy levels await….

Think you can beat it?  Doooouuubt it… but try it out: ITUNES (only).


UPDATE (11/21/11):

Ok yeah, who am I kidding?  This game is freaking hard.  Getting 5 stars on almost any of the Crazy levels is damn near impossible.  Seriously.

Sketch a Pic with My Sketch

The other day, I was crazy bored so I decided to draw a picture of my dog.  It literally took me alllll day….check it out:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PRE-TTY effing good, huh??

AhaHAaa… who am I kidding (although my gf actually believed me — don’t ask me why)…

What I really did was use My Sketch to convert the pic I took below into a HIGH-RES pencil sketch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sick, right?  The app costs $1.99, which is kiiinda expensive for an app, but…  it’s freaking easy to use and there’s actually a lot you can do with it, including:

  • Take a new pic or choose one from your library
  • Crop your pic so it looks nice and neat
  • “Sketch” your photo in TWENTY different styles (not just in black and white… there are quite a few color options)
  • Play with the brightness and contrast to put some final touches on your pic
  • Trick your gf/bf into thinking you are an amazing artist

Super simple app, and great if you want to show off to your friends.  ITUNES (only).

Love Shazam? Check out IntoNow

Shazam might possibly be my favorite app… OF ALL TIME. <—– BOLD STATEMENT

But it’s true…

How many times have you been out at night when the DJ throws on a nice-ass beat, and you’re like, “yo, what is this?!”  Every time that happens to me, I pull up Shazam on my phone, and… BAM… I get the name of the song.

Now imagine the same exact thing, but for TV.

With IntoNow, you can figure what’s on your TV right now.  The app listens to the audio that’s being played on the TV and tells you the name and episode of the show.  Simple as that.

Apparently, it even works for sporting events and one-time programs.  I was more excited about that, but because of the stupid #NBA lockout and postponed World Series clincher (fingers-crossed), I couldn’t test it out.

Instead, I settled for a regular ol’ TV show.

I got on Netflix and picked a random show — Breaking Bad (which turned out to be PRETTY DAMN GOOD), fired up IntoNow, and sure enough… look what it produced:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Money, right???

Best of all, it’s free!  Get it now before Yahoo! starts charging for itITUNES. ANDROID

Update:  I tried IntoNow during Game 7 of the World Series (brutal for Rangers fans)… aaaaaaand it worked:

Even Terrell Owens Plays Hanging with Friends

Apparently, he is quite phenomenal at it:

Let’s Play Hanging With Friends

Yoooooooo, what up???

Considering this is my first blog post on THE HONGOVER, I figured I’d start out by recommending you download none other than Honging Hanging with Friends.

By now, if you haven’t heard of Hanging with Friends, you either a) don’t have a smart phone (wtf??), b) have never clicked on the “Top 25″ of your app store or c) simply don’t have any friends :( .

Soooo… why am I writing about it if it’s nothing new?  Well, because it’s the one game I still play everyday against 5-10 people at a time and, yes, it’s straight-up dominating my data usage.

But enough about me, here’s some info about the game:

  • It’s a twist on the classic turn-based game… Hangman
  • It’s made by the same guys who created the once Hongover-obsessed Words With Friends (the guys at Newtoy aka Zynga with Friends) — the difference is, you actually make real words
  • It’s free if you don’t mind ads, but if you do, you can buy it for $1.99
  • Highly addictive and competitive (don’t cheat, fool!)
  • Best played when you are taking a crap, waiting in line, or… enjoying Napa valley with the gf:

So, if any of you readers (all 2 of you) want to get SMOKED at Hanging with Friends, challenge me to a game!  My name is… what else, “I SMOKE U”.  ITUNESANDROID.
