IronMan3 for Android & iOS

LuckyDucky — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:52:43 +0800

Gameloft's Iron Man 3 just landed for Android and iOS. And it's probably not what you'd expect.

Indeed, based on Gameloft's last movie tie-in, the Amazing Spider-Man game, you might envision something similar here: a running, jumping, and flying Tony Stark, with a mixture of ground- and air-based combat.

But this game takes its cues from Temple Run and throws in a dash of Fruit Ninja for good measure. Instead of an endless runner, it's an "endless flyer": you're constantly in the air, swooping left and right to avoid obstacles and collect credits. You hover at times to fight various drones and bosses, using Fruit Ninja-style swiping to fire your weapons.

This is pretty fun stuff, with lots of available upgrades, special attacks, and the like. Plus, Iron Man 3 looks and sounds great (despite the absence of Robert Downey Jr.'s voice talents), especially on a Retina screen. Slam dunk, right?

Not quite. For starters, the first time you run the game (which consumes a fairly hefty 1GB of space), it asks not only for permission to send you push alerts, but also for access to your contacts. Huh?

The real issue is Gameloft's freemium model. With most endless runner-type games, dying is just a temporary setback; in an instant you're back up and running again. Iron Man 3 makes you wait. Literally. You have to sit through a countdown timer (ostensibly while your suit is repaired) before you can get back to the action.

To bypass this, you can spend your ISO-8, which is the game's currency. You start out with a small amount, but once you blow through it, you'll need to buy more via in-app purchase: $1.99 for 150 ISO-8, $4.99 for 500, and so on. Alternately, you can redeem various Swag Bucks-style offers, like watching a video or signing up for free credit-score monitoring or joining GameFly. Ugh.

The game's other currency, credits, is used for new Iron Man suits and suit upgrades. As noted earlier, you can collect credits while you fly, or you can spend ISO-8 to buy them. But when you purchase an upgrade, you have to endure a 15-minute real-time wait before you can use it -- unless you pay to skip.

Lots of world-building games work similarly, but here, in an action title, the addition of timers seems almost like a cruel punishment. I understand Gameloft is in business to make money, but why not just forgo the timers and charge a couple bucks for the game? It's worth it. Ultimately, let me decide how I want to spend my ISO-8; don't force me to use it just so I can keep playing. That's a huge turn-off.

Buying phone advice

LuckyDucky — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 22:41:40 +0800

Hi guise,

need some opinion when buying a phone

what are the differences on buying phone from Official store compares with those small handphone shops?

example official store, Samsung Store, Nokia Store, Apple Store, etc vs small Ah beng handphone shop or online sellers without shop.

and of course I'm referring to Original set, not AP set.

The Downside of Tattoo

LuckyDucky — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:01:58 +0800

Is a person has a tattoo consider a badass?

Example scenario:

When someone gets block by a police on the road, when the police saw the person have tattoo, he will have hard time dealing with that police.

What is your impression towards a person with a tattoo?

n00b unker

LuckyDucky — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 14:00:22 +0800

This is the sms unker sent to me

UNKER : Tadi sy beli transcend 16GB memory kad dari awk, skrg sy check saiznya baru ada 14.2GB, memory card ni ada problem ke u bagi sy salah size? Sy nak mintak tukar yg baru! nanti sy datang jumpa u.
ME : zzzzzzzzzzzz

why some n00b like that one, last time another case, long story short, the customer complaint about android hang/lag and force closed app, that one also put blame on me selling faulty product.

Advice to n00bie, next time don't simply accused seller sell you faulty item, you are the one who not understand about technology and you straight jump to a conclusion that I sell you faulty items. kanasaileh WTF!!!

Ok enuff with my whinning...

How should I deal with n00bie next time?

How should I answer in non-techie so that this n00b can understand me well without misundertanding ?

I don't understand why pipul want to suicide

LuckyDucky — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 16:05:06 +0800

Really no other solution ?

My solution is, instead of die straight away,
why not run away and start a new life, maybe go to the place where nobody know you or can find you and start a new life there
1) run away as far as u can, possible overseas if u qualified, if kenot then find local place where nobody know or can find you
2) find new place to stay
3) cancel all your contact with your family, friends, colleague etc etc
4) forget everything about the past
4) find new job, find any job u qualified, lower your expectation
(possibly a job where can keep you busy all the time, overtime job will be perfect as long as the job can keep yourself busy the whole day, so you wont even have time to think about the past and makes u want to suicide again)
5) start the whole new of you from here

Better than suicide right?
at least now u still alive with new job, new friend and possibly with new partner and soon will have new family too

Apple iWatch

LuckyDucky — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 11:06:39 +0800

The rumor mill has been churning out speculation about what's next from Apple. The latest fodder comes from the Apple Insider blog, which found an Apple patent filing pointing to a smart watch with a flexible touchscreen display.

Other companies are also interested in bringing smart watches to market. Samsung may also be working on one, if rumored leaks are to be believed.

Wearable technology seems to be a rising trend, most notably with Google Glass project. ABI Research estimates that by 2018 — just five years from now — sales of wearable computing devices will hit 485 million units, NPR's Steve Henn notes.

Pretty soon, carrying around a smartphone will be so old school.
