My Friend Convinced Me to Reactivate my “Simpsons:Tapped Out” account…

If you have an Apple handheld device add me. I need more peeps to play with so I can earn enough holiday coins to buy the Mapple Store! hahaha :P

My EAorigins account is ‘iHebb’
Or if you have Fbook I’m connected there as well.

If you have NO idea what this is…think The Sims but with Homer.

APPLE 23.10.12 EVENT: iPad Mini 

Much like the iPhone5 event,  this is the announcement that everyone was expecting, but for some reason still seemed to be unsure of. 
What is it? Just a smaller version of something that already exists. A device meant to directly compete with tablets from Samsung and Google. It’s an iPad, for people that thought the iPad was too big…so…my mom. This was made for my mom. 
I’m more interested in how this upgrades their line of products. Notice how there is no OG iPad on there? Yeah, that’s bad news for a guy like me, who is still perfectly happy with my first version of this great product.  

WWDC 2012

Where’s my head at! I almost forgot that the week after E3 is the biggest week for Apple geeks :) 
Can’t wait to see if the rumors are true about the new Pro’s, what the new OSX will bring to the table, and if I really do need to upgrade my iOS device! 

MARVEL vs CAPCOM 2 iOS [videogame] Review

I really want to like this game…Cable, Wolverine, Ryu, Venom…all wrapped up in a fighting-game on my iPad; that’s a recipe for nerdy happiness! But for some reason Capcom decided to really cheap out on this App. The graphics have more pixels than on the original versions, the control response lags, the buttons are FAR to small onscreen, and even something as simple as the Menu looks like a cheap floppy disk game.
Granted I am still playing this on an iPad1, but that shouldn’t make a huge difference. I downloaded Sonic4 at the same time…and that game holds up beautifully. In the end, it’s nice to pick the game up again. Fans of the series won’t be mortified, but I could see newcomers getting frustrated.

Follow my Path!

As I typed that out I realized why they called it “path” duh…haha…genius.
If you’re not on Instagram, then you haven’t seen this mornings storm of Cover pics. And if you haven’t already thought; “great, another social network” chances are I want to high five you, AND, will see you in my feed shortly :)

Best way (I think) to summarize this new portable social network; they’ve taken the timeline feature boasted by Fbook (for their coming update) and miniaturized it. Add in the ability to post tweet like status’, music, and share photos, and you have something for iOS and Android users that Google+ and Facebook WISH they had thought of.
It’s clean, simple, and easy to use.

I love how seamlessly they’ve integrated it into Twitter; no stupid platforms or need for links. However, I’d love to see the same thing for photos with Instagram before I make this my go-to source.

Minecraft on the iPad

Minecon 2011 is in full effect (I just read someone proposed at the event) and Mojang released a handheld version! It’s what you’d expect from a dumbed down version of such a massive game…
- there’s no actual mining or crafting
- you start off with all the supplies you’ll need/get
- i quickly found the edge of the world, which is an invisible wall that drops off into nothing
- there’s no day/night, enemies, or health/food bars
With all that taken away there are some definite positives to make up for it…
- to create a world with your friends you just need to be on the same network
- the controls are simple and practical
- it’s one of the best ways to kill time on an iOS device

Works for iPhone + iPad
$6.99 in App Store
if we’re friends IRL you should get it and help me create awesome stuff IRL!
