If you’re looking for new podcasts to listen to (aside from ours, of course) I recently discovered one that I’m absolutely in love with. As I’ve mentioned on The TouchArcade Show numerous times now, my nightly ritual involves listening to podcasts as I go to sleep. I even own a pair of sleep headphones, which are a real thing believe it or not. Anyway, the problem with listening to a lot of podcasts to fall asleep is sometimes they’re just too interesting. You put ’em on to unwind and go to bed, and end up staying up later because you’re learning about something new from Stuff You Should Know, want to find out what happens next in Serial, are totally captivated by crazy stats from Freakonomics, and more. The struggle is real, I tell you.
I just started listening to The Sleep With Me Podcast and I just can’t get enough of it. It’s designed to help you fall asleep via actual bedtime stories with, in their words, “The perfect blend of boredom and engagement." The stories themselves are crazy, and much like real bedtime stories you may have heard when you were a kid, often just totally made up on the fly with little more than an outline. I’ve been looking for an excuse to post about this on TouchArcade, and a recent episode totally has given me the opportunity.
Episode 193, titled “Dougie’s Kitten Bowl Disaster Dance" covers the birth of freemium games in the most hilariously nonsensical way imaginable- Starting with the man who accidentally invented doing the Dougie, a lifetime ban from Waffle House, Kate Upton, and really loving cats wearing fancy hats. How all these things go together I’m not going to spoil. You’re just going to have to listen yourself. I swear that Scooter, the guy behind all this is my sense of humor soulmate. Anyway, if you want to skip through the intro and various shout outs he does, the story itself starts at about the nine minute mark.
awesome news.
I bought this game and GTA China town. Ran them each once and never played them again..... Kinda sometimes wish if you didn't keep playing a game you could refund it hahahaha. Course devs need their cash but there's just so many stragglers that I leave on so maybe one day my prince will.... I mean I'll play them
how ridiculous would it be if you could refund movie tickets after watching the movie
In the world of actually paying money for iOS games/apps, people will argue anything as reasonable.
Read that first sentance like a movie trailer...
In a world where developers actually think they should be paid for their efforts...
No, It would more be like going to the movies, hating the movie, and walking out. He said he played it once and never played it again. So he obviously didn't finish it. You can ask for a refund if you walk out of a movie. That's why there needs to be more demos for games. If a developer is confident in there game they shouldn't have a problem putting out a demo.
This is plain dumb. Just get yourself informed before you buy a game, no before you buy anything.
Is it the devs fault that you aren't able to have control over your decisions you make?
Especially those two games you have mentioned are both absolutely worth the money.
Try getting a refund of your groceries, because of you didn't eat them.
Waiting forever for some more love from this franchise! Just hope the new coat of paint won't render the game unplayable on my ancient iPhone 4 😳.
Great news! Fingers crossed for iCloud saves!!
Best news ever!
Nice! I've heard about this game, but never tried it. Looks like it's finally time. I've got a great little folder on my phone labeled Space that this will fit perfectly into.
You're in for a treat; this is a good one!
My first best app game ! Finished twice and ready to replay it !
This game is a total winner! I didn't finish it though. Hoping the update hits tomorrow!!
My favorite game is *finally* getting updated -- yes! I've had this on every iPhone and iPad I've owned since iPhone 4. Can't wait! Great job, Venan.
Really hoping for MFI controller support in this update too...
Capcom could certainly take a leaf out of these guy's book (ref : TWEWY). Venan still take pride after all this time.
TWEWY is Square-Enix but I concur either way!
Doh! Yep!
If the iPad version is to be discontinued, then for future-proofing, I may want to delete it, and install the iPhone version (which I also have). But then I have to start over from scratch....
Somehow I don't think I will mind: I've already completed the game twice on my iPhone and once on my iPad.
It's the only game I have ever completed and then immediately, in the same sitting, started over again.
OMG, OMG, OMG... I just peed a little :)
And the update is now available!
*Running to App Store waving 4+ year old receipt... 'Welcome back sweet prince'
This was one of favorite Apps. Glad to see an expansion of the content.
Nice.... Will DL it again after the update hits.
I am hard to please. This game has pleased me for many hours.
This is the game that made me believe in ios gaming.
