Hey, Vsauce, I'm Jake and get ready to...
Sometimes I wish I was a giant Pizza...VS. Skeletons, a game where you play a giant 25-foot
pizza tasked with destroying the dearly departed. You have to crush your enemies when they yeast
expect it and avoid getting sliced. But thats not all, because when you're a giant pizza
you also have to rescue dogs that then adhere to your lactose covered chest, swim in the
ocean, and sumo wrestle giant skulls. You can customize your pizza's toppings, and even
have it be a different globulus object. The game's art style is also very reminiscent
of Vincent Van Dough, and if you don't like it then thats too bad because it's either
my way or the Zombie Highway.
In the game you find yourself driving down a seemingly endless stretch of road inhabited
only by empty cars and zombies that get more air than Michael Jordan (I BELIEVE I CAN FLYYYYY).
Some of them you can shoot off using a varying array of weapons, but the majority you will
have to dispatch by side swiping their corroded corpses against abandoned vehicles. (Zombie:
"Are we there yet?" Me: "NO") There are 7 different types of walkers in this game so
be sure to do your research with StudyBlue.
StudyBlue is a fantastic learning tool that lets you easily create flashcards for studying,
or search the thousands, and thousands of ones created by other users. You can link
up to your school so you can share cards amongst your friends or even your teachers. It is
a great tool not only for students, but also if you just feel like finding out more about
topics that interest you. Since the flashcards are entirely digital, you can forget about
those long Knights of Pen & Paper.
In the game you play the dungeon master and each adventurer that is on this quest. You
have to choose what characters to include in your party, which can range from the pizza
guy to your Grandmother, and the amount of customization and upgrading is actually pretty
incredible. The game is a really well done turn-based RPG filled with lots of humor and
other little things...forever.
Little Things Forever is a beautiful seek and find game. As you dive deeper into an
image it breaks apart into hundreds of little objects that you need to find. Every successful
game gives you a puzzle piece which then unlocks mini puzzle games which, in turn, opens more
levels. Sometimes it becomes difficult to keep track of where all the objects are, and
that's the Catch, a simple and sleek organizational tool.
Not only is this a great app for note taking but it allows you to capture ideas as they
happen, or integrate photos you already have. You can set reminders for yourself, make checklists,
and, once your idea is ready to be shared, you can create a space where your friends
can collaborate on the project with you. There is also a voice memo function so you can record
all those ideas you have for segues.
"Future Jake, this is Past Jake. If you're listening to this then whatever you do, do
not mention the next app. Everything is pixels now. I only see in pixels. I even Dream of
Pixels!"
An incredibly fun puzzle game by developer Dawn of Play. The premise is pretty similar
to Tetris, but in reverse. You have to remove certain types of blocks from the main shape,
eliminating rows and trying to not litter your path with rogue blocks that could stop
you from clearing lines. There are a bunch of different game modes to choose from and
different levels to explore, but lets explore our surroundings instead with Sitegeist.
The app takes publicly available data, categorizes it, and puts it into an infographic of stats
on your area. It uses GPS to pinpoint your location and then gives you a rundown on the
People, Housing, Sights, Environment, and History of where you are. It is really cool,
and a great way to get a knowledge filled snapshot of your surroundings. If, however,
your surroundings try to kill you then you might be in Anomaly: Korea.
In this sequel to Anomaly Warzone Earth, you have to command your squad through a deadly
path of killer machines. Not only do you choose what units are part of your team, but you
also strategize and map out which path will be the best for your unit. But lets go a bit
old school with this episode's app of the week: Rico: A Tale of Two Brothers.
This pixelated platformer is an incredibly fun and addictive game. You play Rico's brother
who's nameless. Your brother, Rico, stripped you of your power and is on a mission to take
over the world and your job is to stop him. The look of the game is remarkably crisp,
the controls are fantastic, and this game is just seriously awesome. It also has a fantastic
soundtrack.

watching.
