I played the tutorial too then never felt the need to play it again.

It's not a bad game, it just didn't click for me. To much dice rolls, I prefer my board/card games to be eurotrash

It's free anyway so anyone can give it a try.

How's that Pathfinder game? I ditn't know it existed until the humble bundle.

I tried it out. I have only played the original Pathfinder board game, not the card game the app is based on, but it's pretty fun! And it has similar flavors to the board game, where who knows what nasty surprise you'll draw from the deck next, so you better carry a shitload of gear and know how to use it so you can stack mad dice rolls.

The main thing I didn't like about it was that it seems pretty clear that they designed for tablets originally, and they just directly shrank the UI for smaller screens. It's playable on my medium-sized Nexus 5X, but some of the text and numbers are very small, and some of the buttons are small to the point that I was concerned about fat-fingering them. The other thing is that they don't really ease you into the grognardy aspects. Grognardy maybe isn't the right word, but I don't know of a term specific to old games like Pathfinder and Arkham Horror :shobon:

Has anyone ever played MMA Federation? I can't seem to get it to download (either my phone is incompatible, or it's region locked out of the middle east and VPNs don't seem to work) but it looks pretty great.

EDIT: A developer emailed me and said it is only available on newer smartphones and tablets right now, if anyone was wondering why their's says "incompatible" as well.

I downloaded this game to check it out. Not an MMA fan but found that this game was fun to play. There are a bunch of martial arts disciplines, you start off with two though you can multiclass into more as you go along.

The fight system is based on move cards, with an attack round and then a defense round. You get three random cards from your 40 card deck - you can pick the cards in your deck, and as you unlock disciplines and progress in belt levels you get more and more cards.

Each discipline has its own niche thing - chances to strike critically, chances to combo, counters on defensive moves, etc etc.

The best part about the game is the paper-rock-scissors where you try and guess what the opponent will lead with and then counter - sometimes the obvious wrong choice is the best choice.

There is in game currency, but it is freely given and used only for cosmetic changes to your fighter. Seems to be a pretty small player base, but the training (complete with minigames) and career track are entertaining enough to give the game a shot.

On Pathfinder, I play it on my Nexus 6P. I know if I was trying it on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, it would lag like crazy because it uses Unity. It's quite fun. I don't have much issues pressing things. You can just tap a card to view it up close. I haven't fat fingered anything either.

Nope. I get plenty of surveys, and I've not spent real money since... 2012, I think? Basically, I've not spent real money since the survey app came out. The card I had on file has long since expired.

I got the same survey twice in a row the other day that asked me:

'Where have you visited recently?'
A - Your local 7-11
B - A restaurant in San Francisco
C - A gift shop in Philly

(I can't remember the actual names of the businesses but that's what they were)

I live in Australia so that was weird as hell but thanks for the dollar, Google!

I noticed a massive difference by putting google maps on when I head into town. Dunno if my phone just turns the location stuff off when idle or something, but I seem to get a lot more surveys this way.

Also my wife gets about twice as many surveys as me just because she drives to work past a retail park :argh:

I noticed the same thing! After the great survery rush last month I've been getting a trickle maybe one or two a week, but the last two days I was in a part of town I don't go through much so I just happened to keep Google Maps on while I was going from area to area and looking for places to eat and I got 6 surverys just from that.

I just got a card in Skyforce Reloaded that disables the EMP wall at the beginning of level 5 and replaces it with the same tracking EMP blast from level 5 in the original game. So whoever was wondering why there were boxes and stuff to shoot on that level, there you go.

Do you remember what level and difficulty you were playing when the card dropped? I have been farming 4-hard for 2 weeks and it wont drop.

Hunters episode 1 is it good clean turn-based tactical game that reminds me a lot of jagged Alliance and Fallout Tactics, single player and doesn't seem to have any pay to win type mechanics. Fun game! It doesn't have any pretty cutscenes or anything like that but if you like these games you don't care about that anyway.

I made a little video of a nice Nonstop Knight combo of 3-star items that I got from Magma Chests (level 200 to unlock).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1owsU1oy6F0

The sword was bonkers, and let me push up a few more levels. The cloak is just neat, but not really that great. If I sit down to play, I am using a frenzy potion. I did end up leaving the game running while I took a nap, and earned quite a bit of gold.

I mostly favor good rolls over 3-star powers.

This is cool as I'm nearly out of upgrades!

The worst thing about this game is the fact that it lags up if a heads-up notification appears during gameplay, that has got me killed a bunch of times when trying to do zero-damage runs in the no-health/max-guns plane.

We think the stage 5 card is probably fixed to be one of the last ones you get, some goon earlier said they got it second to last.

I've got an LG G4, and was wondering if This War of Mine plays nicely or at least decently with it? My surveys have been going nuts lately so I figured I'd check it out, not many negative reviews on the play store for it with my device, but I trust goons the most with this stuff.

Also, how is Desert Golf ? The screenshots give me a strong nostalgic feeling from NES Golf, so if it's even remotely like that terribly boring game, I'll probably like it.

I love desert golf. It's just a (nearly) infinite series of holes where you adjust angle and strength and try to put the ball in the hole. It's permanently installed on my phone.
