Some of the best iPhone apps

1. I would probably have Siri right here, just because you can talk to her like she is a normal person. Plus she is pretty funny. 

1 (aside from Siri). iFunny.

      iFunny is an app that connects a community together through motivational pictures and other random funny pictures. Every Picture on this app is user submitted, where other users get the option to either like or dislike each picture. Pictures that reach a certain amount of likes in a given time period, are put on the Featured list. Judging by the amount of people that use this app at my high school, I'm guessing that most high schools have a good number of students that use this app. 

     There are 3 different sections for iFunny; the Featured list, which shows up with notifications, the popular list, and the collective list. The Featured list is the list that is very hard to get pictures into. It takes around 5-10 thousand likes just to make it to the featured list. The second list, popular, is the pictures that don't have enough likes to make it into the featured list yet, but they are funny, unlike most of the pictures in the collective list. The collective list is all of the newly added user content. Most of this content is pictures that aren't funny, and that try to get the user to go to a website or download and app. 

      iFunny is a must have app for any iPhone user. It always gives me a good laugh to look through the 80 new featured pictures of the day. The only thing iFunny is criticized for is the pictures of good looking women in underwear that sometimes show up in the featured list, just because a bunch of guys go and like the pictures (duhh. guys will be guys). 

2. Temple Run

      Where can I begin? This game is amazing. I have spent hours of time in class running in illogical circles. This game and iFunny are probably the 2 best apps available for the iPhone (aside from Siri of course..). There is really no storyline for this app. All you know is that for some reason a man, which you can change characters, is in a temple and there are a bunch of weird looking monkeys chasing after him. The only point of this game is to get a high score by collecting coins and using them to get a higher multiplier. There are 6 unlock able characters to choose from. 

      One thing that makes this game unique is that you can make 6 right turns back to back and never run into the same wall, while you don't go under a wall or over a wall or anything. It is totally illogical, but that adds to the fun of the game. 

      The only thing that I do not like about this game is the fact that the game will sometimes put obstacles that will kill you no matter what in your way. For example, the game will tell you to jump off of a wall onto a new surface, but on that surface there will be a fire that is no way avoidable because you are already in the air. 

      I would highly recommend this app, along with iFunny to any person who owns an iPhone. Me and my friends at school play this game alllll the time.

3. Fruit Ninja

      I'm pretty sure almost everyone has heard of fruit ninja. Who wouldn't want to sit there for an hour slicing fruit? If I had just gotten this game, I would probably rate it higher, but after a while this game just becomes a cool looking emblem on your iPhone. That and it is pretty popular with friends who don't play it much. 

      There isn't really much I can say more about this app. You cut fruit and unlock new blades. That is all it is.. I spent about 4 hours playing it and after that I didn't play it again.

4. ChaCha

      ChaCha is a corporation that answers any questions for free. I have no idea how they have the money to do it, but they do. The only reason I am putting this app in my top 5 app picks is because of the ease that it brings you when you want to know something, anything..

      It doesn't matter what you want to know. Chacha answers anything from the average penis size (I didn't ask it, my girlfriend did) to the square root of 2. You can actually get a job working as one of the people that answers the billions of questions that are sent in a day, and I'm pretty sure the pay is good.

5. Big Button Box Pro

    This app is in my top 5 app picks just because of how funny some of the buttons are. My cousin came over one night and we sat there for hours playing with all of the buttons. One of my favorite buttons is the shut up button. Every time you press it, it says shut up in a stern, energetic voice. It is very useful when you want to shut someone up or piss someone off. You just press the button every time they begin to say something.

      I think this app is definitely worth the $1 that you have to spend to get it. You will probably get more laughs out of this than any other funny app on the market that costs $1. 

      That concludes my top 5 app picks. If you don't like them and you think there should be others, or you want to make some suggestions to me, feel free to comment on this blog. I check it daily. This is just my opinion and I surely haven't downloaded all of the hundreds of thousands of apps that iTunes has to offer.   

Recent MMORPG Games that I have played,

1. Redstone. 

      Redstone is a 2.5D game, with alright graphics. I am currently playing this game and enjoy it whenever I get the chance to play it.
      The most important thing that I like about this game is the community and GMs. The GMs do a good job with events and things called Power Hours (a time of double or even quadruple experience). Every holiday, the GMs will hold an event that has a theme similar to the holiday. Most of these events result in lots and lots of items that are otherwise hard to get. These items are usually not tradeable, which was a good idea on behalf of the GMs because it ultimately keeps the game balanced.
      The second element that I enjoy about this game is the guild system. Each guild has a certain level and a guild hall that also has a level. The guild level is raised when the people inside of the guild gain xp, almost like a player would. Whenever the guild levels up, they get a skill point, which can be used by the guild master. Guild skill points go to skills that will raise the overall stats of every member in the guild, whether it be HP or Power, Luck, Wisdom, etc. The second unique thing about Redstone's guild system is the guild halls. The guild halls level up based on a ranking system that only happens on saturday. Guilds battle each other in large GvGs over different level guild halls. The higher guild hall you have, the nicer your guild hall looks, and the more things you can do in that guild hall.
      The third element that I enjoy about this game is the item system. The item system follows Diablo's item system whereas every item has a prefix, which adds different stats onto the item. The rarer stats are harder to get than the bad stats (No duhh). Each prefix gives a certain stat, but the intensity of that stat is random. For example, the Luck prefix for gloves only adds 15-30 luck, but the Goddess prefix adds anywhere from 60-100 luck. The Luck prefix drops a whole lot more than the goddess prefix, and most of the goddess prefixes range from 60-75 luck. There are also hundreds of Unique items in Redstone. These items are sometimes really bad, or in most cases, really good. The more money a Unique is worth, the harder it is to get from a drop. The only bad thing about the Unique item system in Redstone is the very, very, very low drop rate that they have.
      Some of the things that I do not enjoy about Redstone is the Item mall. OGPlanet overcharges almost every item in the Item mall. The item that you use to enhance items is around $15, and it only has a 30% chance to succeed; thus making any item that is created with the item out of the price range for over 95% of the Redstone community. Another aspect of the game that I don't like is the CP system. Most of the better skills take a lot of CP, which is already hard to get. You have to sacrifice at least 3 armor pieces to get a decent amount of CP, unless you accumulate 1/2 of your stat points into charisma. The only way to get more CP is to use skills that recharge it very slowly while still attacking, or recharging it at a higher, but still slow rate, with a charging skill. This leaves you pressing the same button over and over just to get enough CP to kill 1 monster.
      If OGPlanet could make a few changes to the CP system, like decreasing all of the CP usage for every skill, and lower their rediculous prices in the item mall, this game would probably be a top pick for most players. It definitely has a 9/10 from me, and could probably get a 9.5/10 if OGPlanet would fix the very few problems that it has. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone that is looking for a good MMORPG game to play.
