i got my ipod touch for christmas and have spent an ebarassing amount of time researching and trying apps from the store.

my best finds so far are:

- tweetie - like you i like the interface (the chat bubbles are really neat looking) and the feature set
- bejeweled 2 - amazingly addictive and only $3
- wordjong - a kind of scrabble meets mahjong game that offers a new puzzle per day
- puzzlequest - overpriced, but a great game that really suits the ipod/iphone controls and i've heard that chapter 2 will be free for chapter one buyers
- write room - allows me to do first drafts of blog posts and my new column on my ipod and then e-mail the drafts to my iMac for proper editing and fleshing out. the advantages it has over notes are a horizontal keyboard option and a white on black colour scheme. other than that, no bells or whistles

the dyrdek fantasy factory is out today (and 4 new achievements attached) but there are six more attached to the classic pack and it's not actually out yet. anybody gonna buy it?

i'm disappointed because all of these locations are not connected to the city. i don't know if i'll buy dlc just to play it a couple of times and so i can have it for multiplayer...

i also found rebel fm a little dry but all of those are funny and interesting each week.

just found the one you're talking about! but the weird thing it that, i too have finished the game. it's just a random symbol left over that, i'm assuming, was probably supposed to be another vert comp.

weird. i didn't notice it was there until now. but there is definitely the megahorn (vert challenge) symbol in the boneyard that leads nowhere...

i guess i just figured they might have better luck with galactrix because it better lends itself to the iphone/ipod touch. there aren't as many options (spells and whatnot) and they can make the playing field bigger.

but then, this is coming from a dude that bought the first part at least...

because i'm ridiculously addicted to the flash demo but would way rather play it on my ipod...

find it yet? i haven't had any problems with challenges not showing up, though the challenge givers do tend to clip in a little after i warp from the challenge map. that's a skate contest for sure, just weird that it isn't playable...

Skate 2 Needs More Explosions

You got my attention. Awesome vid, and I would buy skate 2 right now if it had explosions."

same thing happened to me, and just like soap, i got a bunch of the harder online achievements to get (like the upper rankings for two of the three categories and the video ratings challenge).

"I had a little trouble with this one too. turns out i wasn't facing the right direction. I was doing a 5-0 instead of a frontside 5-0"
