Leave a Comment more...Marble Blast Mobile
by Justin on Jun.17, 2009, under Blogs, Justin Talley, iPhone App Review
Visit Garage Games’ website here.
Read a great developer interview concerning the game at Garage Games Blog Developer Interview Series.
Marble Blast Mobile walks a fine balance between being a casual game and keeping elements that immerse more in-depth gamers. I’ve never had the patience (or hand eye coordination) to stick with action-puzzlers, but MBM somehow wrangled me in and I finished the game in one night. It uses some very clever power-ups to keep level design interesting, my favorite being the gyrocopter, which lets you fly your marble short distances. Tapping your marble lets you jump over short obstacles.
The Fool’s Ball
by jared on Apr.03, 2009, under Blogs, Jared Callan
So yeah…I’m at a small outdoor fest in Holly Springs, MS, called The Fools Ball. It’s a three day weekend full of local rock and a non stop party. Music, drinking, and camping…sounds fun to me.
A three day event that only costs $20. Plenty of cute girls and endless types of “fun” to be had.
I was very surprised to see that so many people here are into NOS. Every time I turn around, I see a handful of people with balloons. Very interesting.
So yeah, who knows what tomorrow will bring. We shall see.

iPhone App Review: Simplify Media
by jared on Mar.04, 2009, under Blogs, Jared Callan, iPhone App Review
We all know that the iPhone is an amazing tool, but what would make it even better?
Have you ever been talking to someone about a song and had to tell them, while searching through your iPod, “No I don’t have it on me, but its in my iTunes at home?”
We’ve all been there but what if you having that particular song, at that particular moment, is the key to gaining that special someone’s attention? Who knows? It worked for Natalie Portman in Garden State…
You say, “How am I supposed to do that, Jared? I can’t carry my whole music library with me.”
I say, “Bullshit. You ever heard of Simplify Media?”
You reply with, “huh?”
Simplify Media is a must have app for the iPhone. Not only do you get to carry your whole music library wherever you go, you get to carry yours and 30 of your friends as well.
First iPhone App Review: Distant Shore
by jared on Feb.26, 2009, under Blogs, Jared Callan, iPhone App Review
If you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone, I bet you’ve downloaded an app or two.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about or if you’ve been living in a cave for the past six months, go here and learn and then come back.
Everyone on the same page now? Good.
I’ve downloaded tons of apps on my iPhone. I’ve tried the free ones and the paid ones. I even jailbroke my iPhone and fooled around with all of the cool mods that are available in Cydia, which is a must-do but I’ll save that for another time.
There are hundreds of apps out there but most of them are bullshit. Sure, some of them are funny. I mean, who doesn’t want to be the cool kid at school who has a fart machine or a “Thats What She Said” button on hand at all times. You can be the life of the party…for at least ten minutes. Any longer than that, someone is going to come after you with a chainsaw. Trust me. I know.
So, I’ve decided to do a weekly app review, that will hopefully help you weed through the crappy apps and find the cool and useful ones. I’m going to start off with one that I’ve been playing with for about a week now: Distant Shore.
Hybrid Lexus explodes in West Memphis AR, FBI Investigates
by Justin on Feb.04, 2009, under Archives, Blogs, Justin Talley
I work for the local paper here in West Memphis, and this is basically all the building has been talking about in low voices today. Like basically everyone else here, Dr. Pierce has been my family doctor for a while now. Even stranger, I had just brought up his name in conversation yesterday. Strange because I haven’t seen Dr. Peirce in at least a year because I, like so many, don’t have any kind of Health insurance. Oh well, I suppose there’s always the Coast to Coast Health Stop over by the truck stop, as seen below.

Update: Apparently it was a hand grenade under the hood? I don’t know if I want to believe that kind of rubbish yet.
He is still alive, despite comments popping up on the internet.
Here are the pics I grabbed from our editor.

Had a great one today. Well, not great but good enough.
Blueberry pancakes and old friends…not too shabby.
Work was good.
I lent an ear to a co-worker that is going through some relationship problems. Oddly enough, I could relate.
Do you ever have the music, that’s around you, soundtrack your life?
Matt calls it “the iPod God.” Hes always like, “the iPod God favors me today!”
What that means is, random music that fits your situation at a cretin time. Like when you are with someone in a car and the music that is playing on the radio is echoing what is going on between you and that person.
This happened to me today.
It didn’t happen with my iPod though. It was the music that was playing in the Hard Rock. I would be thinking about something and a song would come on that would echo what I was thinking about. It’s a weird thing. Ever happen to you?
I will end this post with a picture. This is a Hard Rock iPod dock, that I am getting as a present. It makes me happy.

Question everything.
by jared on Jan.03, 2009, under Blogs, Jared Callan
So, how do you know anything for a fact? Really? What do you know to be a fact?
Does she love you?
Do you love her?
Is this what you want?
I am cursed to question everything. I think I get this from my dad. He is the kind of person that will think about a conversation, days after it has happened.
I am a completely over analytical person.
Why did she say that?
What does that mean?
Maybe Matt was right…
Anyways, there’s only one thing that turns that part of my brain off…
Cheers!
