Neuroshima Hex: Tile Based Combat

February 29, 2012 by Jayvee Leave a Comment

While searching for the best board game translations into iOS, I chanced upon Neuroshima Hex, a tile-based tactical game for 2-4 players.

The iOS conversion is essentially the same game, […]

Took an iPhone 4s underwater. This is what it looks like.

February 22, 2012 by Jayvee 2 Comments

A couple of days ago a friend lent me a Patima underwater casing for the iPhone 4 / 4s. It was rather intriguing because as far as I know this is the first commercially available “hardcore” housing for a mobile phone. And by hardcore we mean Patima. These guys build very high-quality professional underwater housings […]

Apple’s old brand ambassador strategy

January 18, 2012 by Jayvee Leave a Comment

It’s quite interesting to look back at Apple’s old marketing strategies. FOr a time they were big on endorsers and testimonials and this one from 1994 catches the eye because of the Chips Ahoy box that Tim Girvin (of Girvin Design) is holding up like a spyglass. Nabisco was one of their clients. This was […]

Guess what I got for the holidays? An iPhone 4s. Went to the bar, nonchalantly and yeah showed it to friends. This is coming from an Android guy (I had owned an iPad 2 but was never into the iPhone craze) who always felt that a single hardware button wasn’t enough for a phone. I […]
