iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

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

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

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

throwing shade on Spelunky? go sit in the corner, j.

juggernaut is useful as a 3rd slotter, just for the high HP tanking. the cheap green ability is incredibly useful.
Daken is kind of useful, but I find him and Bullseye to be to too easily beaten in PVP, moreso than Classic Storm
Astonishing Wolvie is better than I originally thought but I think I need way more ability cards for him to be great

fully leveled Thor/l.60 classic storm/l.45 iron man 40 is my main team right now. got a decent 45 cap and 31 A. Wolverine. all my other scrubs and good for lightning rounds mostly. i do wonder if i should bother go to back and fully level my 1*ers like Venom, Juggs, M. Black Widow who are good for specific cases.
always tempted to sell Loki/The Hood/Ragnarok but they ARE good for the buffed villain lightning rounds
hoping for opportunities to get Grey Suit Widow and X-Force Wolverine cards, only 1 a-piece so far

also note: fully leveled Iron Man 35 is not really that useful anymore in PVP

My understanding is that ragnarok is a monster once you get him into level 30 or so
Terraria is the best sandbox game ive played on the ios but if you dont like minecrafty buildemups its not gonna change your mind

i loved terraria (on xbox), and also it made me very sad. seriously, playing it for a long time made me really, really sad. recommended!

apparently maxed out rag and magneto only take 2 red ap for those abilities once you max them out. i can see how that would make them pretty powerful.

damn @ last post, holding out for that!

regular wolvie is great for bunches of reasons but don't sleep on the heal: he takes a 100 hp hit and then heals it all that turn. plus you don't have to wait long to reuse him because I THINK his heal also speeds up his recovery time when you're not using him. well I dunno, but Iron Man model 30 takes like 2.5 hrs to get back to full after a normal battle, kinda ditto-ish for Thor. maybe that's because they have higher hp? not that much higher!

yeah I've been surprised at how quickly model 35 Iron Man has receded in importance. big problem is that he soaks up enemy attacks b/c I guess his attacks are just good enough to put him in front all the time

I wish more people would use Bullseye and Hawkeye because low hp chars are easy to knock out in pvp

Also: did you guys decide to drop/avoid any characters on the roster specifically? I sell all my Bullseye and Yelena Belova cards, didn't seem like they were worth the slots. And it seems like they're adding a new character every week or two as it is.

Hoping that Modern Hawkeye is good eventually, I have him almost completely skilled up but not much leveled yet

I sell all Venom, Daken, Yelena Belova, Bullseye, Hawkeye (both types), Bagman. also sold Hood because it's boring to never get cards for him, plus his abilities take too many ap to run and suck anyway

Bagman Spider-Man was awesome for the story missions, but not so much in PVP. I could see him being a good counter if any really good countdown characters come up. Iron Man Model 40 and Invisible Woman could fit the bill, I guess, but I never got any cards from him in draws

The Hood is really good in boosted tournaments, but crap otherwise. If I had more cards I would level him though, he's a great third teammate for Iron Man Model 40 because his Intimidation ability decreases countdowns

Classic Hawkeye also very good in Hammer missions, too weak otherwise

Could probably start a MPQ thread.

How often do you use boosts?

you're limited to 10 of any, so anytime I have more than 7 I feel free to use one. save the good ones for the tough fights, use all three slots
i find that if you keep to using ~1 per match on average you're generally OK to replenish

That thorned rose thing is straight bullshit. I keep getting nailed with their special powers, then stunned, then nailed again, repeat until dead. I'm just standing there helpless.

AVENGERS... STOP FOR A HOT DOG BREAK

brilliant touch IMO

ha, this just came out for Steam (windows only... thankfully?)

top level steam download is 100 bucks!

and yeah, we need a thread i think:

Anyone play QuizUp? I need some new opponents.
