iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

i wish i wasn't playing this enough that i was into this discussion but i have put in HOURS on this fuckin thing
i wam waking up matching 4 block lines. Fuck you puzzlequest and your goddamn pusherman skills

lol

half woken brain saying "i'll get up as soon as i can match five blue gems" and i can't even realize I AM NOT PLAYING

I've had that feeling with various games before, it's disturbing

i had forgotten just how addictive the puzzlequest dynamic is... giving the constant sugar-drip of character building and the lolnerd Marvel Universe connections, this is genuinely dangerous stuff. I've taken to playing "until I kill all the characters" and that's taking about two and a half hours a go now

Anyone else get sucked into Strata?

oh man a well leveled thor is fearsome in mavel pq.

especially with the tourney boost

my Thor is p decent but other players in the tourney have like level 46 Thors and it's not pretty

by contrast I did pretty well in the Iron Man tourney, well enough to get a model 40...which is great except I think upgrades and thus levels are gonna be rare. right now I have terrific regular Iron Man & Wolvie, great Juggernaut and Thor, decent Black Widow...and then a bunch of 3 & 2 star "uncommon" & "rare" cards that don't pop enough to get levels. should kept all those Storms I got originally, didn't realize that was gonna be the only way to get a high level character (sold them to make space for e.g. level 15 Doctor Doom, the Hood, Magneto)

basically i fret over which is the uncommon (2*) cards I wanna drop. the rare 3* characters are awesome but will i ever boost to be really usable? i don't know. at least the 2* cards will appear regularly enough, but every time I get a duplicate card that I threw out a while back I cringe.

Modern Wolverine (2*) isn't that good, for example, but you can get a ton of those cards through the single player missions, so I guess I'm hanging onto him. X Force Wolverine (3*) is awesome, but I don't know if I'll ever get another, like you say

Those Level 15 guys (3*) are pretty good in one-offs but my buffed up Lv. 18 common Venom is far more useful in general

both Storms totally worth keeping btw. if you're talking about the common Modern Storm it'll pop up a million times over

I got sucked into Real Racing 3. Anyone else feeling it? The AC Cobra has been such a $/gold pit for me... And now today they put it on sale for 50% off. Ugh!

the regular 2 star Wolvie is great, though; have him at level 30, heals like 70 a turn. can get taken out by a series of huge hits (fuck Juggernaut forever unless he's on my side) but o/w he's serious business

hmm, i only have Modern Wolvie up to 2 cards right now - i'll work on buffin' him. it's tough to go back to those Prologue missions (with all the Wolvie rewards in the last part) now they're doing weekly/lightning tournaments all the time now

yeah I got way into the Iron Man tourney but the Thor tourney has kicked my ass so I've been doing prologue again

is the idea that there will be more missions beyond the prologue? because yummmmmmm

definitely - the other week they had this "Unstable Iso-8" set that only around for about a week

speaking of which, I almost-lol everytime I see the word "Maggia". COME ON, MARVEL.

Anyone got Ocean Horn yet? Think it might need the real estate of the iPad to do it justice though

lolled when I got a match today against Nhex in MPQ. the ilxor? I gave a vulgar beating.

haha oh snap! what's your handle?

I am Jex, the destroyer of worlds

i upgraded to an air and i've been doing a ton of ipad gaming; should probably write up a few of the things i like but just wanted to say that everyone should get device 6; it's great

its called "ios6"

what ipad apps do you all use in general? got an air recently, it's such a beautiful device.

apps that give you photos from around the world are so amazing with the air's screen - some incredible images.

as somebody who now has maxed out iron man, storm classic, juggernaut, black widow modern and is on level 73 thor, the following is all good advice. also, shoot me.

i mean, this ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE TO ME
http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=327

this was v v v important info:

The event matchmaking system is entirely based on how you finish in your tournaments. So if you want easier matches, start tanking in either the SHIELD tournament, or in the lightning rounds. Win one lighting round match, then lose on purpose a few times. You'll start getting cupcake matches after that.

spent 150 hero points earlier today & got RECHARGE for my model 40 Iron Man, so pumped

I haven't maxxed out any levels yet, but I've maxxed out covers for Storm modern, Black Widow, Juggernaut, and Iron Man. need a couple more for Thor, Storm classic, Wolvie. not far for Captain America (who I think I underrated until I started getting covers for him and now zowwie)

yeah, cap sucks until you max out his abilities - then you can get into sick ability loops w/his red and blue powers

lemme see here, i got:

thor - lv 71 - 5/4/4 max
iron man 35 - lv 50 max - 5/4/4 max
storm modern - lv 50 max- 5/5/3 mx
iron man 40 - lv 47 - 3/2/1
black widow modern -lv 40 max - 5/5 max
juggernaut - lv 40 max - 5/5 max
cap murrica - lv 27 - 4/4/5 max
hood - lv 25 - 2 yellow
storm classic - lv 24 - 5/5/3 max
daken - lv 19 - 5/5 max
spider man classic - lv 18 - 1 yellow, 1 blue
ragnarok - lv 17 - 1 green, 2 red
wolverine astonishing - lv 16 - 2/4/2
hawkeye - lv 15 - 5/5 max
venom - lv 15 - 5/5 max
magneto NOW - lv 15 - 2/3/1
black widow grey suit - lv 15 - 1 purple
loki - lv 15 - 1 black
bullseye - lv 12 - 4 black
moonstone - lv 9 - 3/1/1
black widow original - lv 8 - 1 /1
hawkeye modern - lv 6 - 4/1/2
spiderman bagman - lv 6 - 2 purple, 1 blue
yelena - lv 1 - 5/5 max

with a pair of extra slots. only characters left to acquire are doom (which they're giving away in a day or so?), magneto classic (that guy is a bitch in pvp, i wannit), x-force wolverine and invisible girl. i'm only 125 points away from a third slot so having a complete character collection by next week is possible... yay?

i am impressed with how much leeway the game gives you to character build and collect. i have not yet spent any money whatsoever.

i won a few tourneys and pvp is a stone cold bitch now. i think i need to take a dive in a few upcoming to put difficulty back in neutral. i'm "durp" in game btw.

also if this was to somehow get erased and removed from my pad, i might be a better person

i really need a new game. i've been playing cutting edge game Home Run Battle 2 for the last few days, totally hating myself for it. there are a ton of games i'd really like to play, but they're either iPad exclusive or seem like they'd be much more fun on iPad. for example, Drive on Moscow.

Hood is terrible, no?

I have Magneto classic & x-force wolvie; latter is awesome but I only have the one cover for the former & so I only use him when he's buffed up in lightning round etc

malone: for iphone, try Device 6 for a great evening. or sorcery. or quest rush.

i barely ever play with most of my characters; i've been busy building the frontliners and will then double back once thor and iron man 35 are maxed.

or iphone, try Device 6 for a great evening

in a better world, this would be common bathroom graffiti

btw good links, forks

and OF COURSE fucking marvel fucking puzzle fucking quest

if you like piczle, you will LOVE pathpix and pathpix pro and paint it back.

I tried paint it black, didn't care for it too much. My favorite picross type game has probably been Color Cross.

great lists of games. depressingly huge though.

i'm similarly hooked on pq, but not as far along. i have 27 characters, but have been spreading out upgrades more, so my thor is 60, storm classic at 44, storm modern at 42, cap 41, black widow modern 38, wolverine (astonishing) 38.

after that nobody that useful.

wolverine can be really great when you spam the board with enough strike boosts. i tend to use storm classic more in pvp (keep the other two leveled high enough she has no tiles on the board) but storm modern can be formidable too and is useful when against a classic (everytime we get in a 'war of storms' with the yellow ability i get trounced).

is juggernaut actually worth leveling up? i hate that his red ability costs him life.

also i sorta feel like iron 40's abilities aren't worthwhile given the knock-on cost to other colors?

also any other potentially useful characters? hawkeye modern _seems_ like he should be good, but i hate those countdown timers getting snaked from me. at least cap lets me pick where the tile goes.

lol at "depressingly huge". I KNOW I AM A LOSER OKAY I KNOW

both storms are useful. i never quite got around to wolverine with the strike boosts, tend toward daken for that. juggernaut has a low cost, screen clearing move that helps when you've painted yourself into a corner. I hardly ever use the headbutt.

iron40 has been good for the past week's lightning round runs so leveling him has proven worthwhile.

I'd say my core use character lineups are [iron man 35/storm classic / black widow] [juggernaut / thor / iron man 40]
I'm aspiring to build up magneto, cap, ragnarok and daken but maybe i should go for wolverine instead

Ok I suppose as good a place as any - is terraria fun style good, or spelunky what the hell are you all on about style good? PS3 cheapo is tempting, but I don't want to get pissed at y'all all over again
