Hello peoples. Today I'm writing about another movie. Here it goes.
A few days ago I saw guardians of the galaxy in the theater. It was a really funny and action filled movie about a band of misfits that becomes the galaxies only hope. The group of outlaws consists of Peter Quill a Terran (human) that was picked off of earth when he was quite young and roams the galaxy as an outlaw who calls himself star-lord, gamora is the genetically modified daughter of Thanos, she's a living weapon, Rocket is the result of genetic and cybernetic experiments on a raccoon, Groot is a living tree person who is very strong and can grow any part of himself in seconds, his vocabulary is limited to I AM GROOT. Drax is a person bent on vengeance for Ronan after Ronan killed his wife and daughter. Ronan is a Kree terrorist that wants to destroy the xandarians even though they just recently signed a peace treaty with the Kree after centuries of war. Peter gets involved with an ancient infinity stone, something Ronan desperately wants and it's the guardians job to protect the galaxy.
Guardians of the Galaxy is a great movie for all ages. It has no gore or very scary scenes although the profanity is more present here than the other marvel movies.

Godus
Hello peoples. Today I'm writing about another iOS game. Here it goes.
The game is called Godus. Godus is in the same area as games where you are a god and you rule your own people. A lot of people find these types of games to be annoying and take to long to do anything but Godus is done perfectly. The graphics are very nice and smooth and the game has a great amount of freedom to it. You start out learning how to manipulate the land by sculpting.
Next you see two people drowning in the water. Use your power to sculpt layers of the land out to them and save them. After that they bow down and recognize you as their god. Now they will want to find a place to settle down, a promised land. Lead them towards a hospitable and large place and they will build the first abode. This is where they will live. With an abode your followers will multiply from 2 to 4. This allows you to expand and send out more builders to make more abodes. After you get a certain amount of followers you unlock better abodes and these abodes will generate belief which is the power you need to work when your people are happy. Every time you reach a new population goal you unlock a new card which gives you a power such as building on grass instead of sand. Some cards require stickers to unlock. You gets these by finding treasure chests throughout the land. Next you'll need your followers to build a beacon that will unearth things you couldn't see before like the discovery temple. After you rebuild the discovery temple. This is when your game really begins. After this you can do wondrous things; explore new lands, discover other gods and other peoples, sail the oceans, create complex societies and more.
Godus is a beautiful sandbox game and I highly recommend it for all ages. Bye.
My current race of people. The bar on the side is happiness. If your face is lower than the asatari face (bad guys) than your in danger of having your own people. go there.
These trees I've planted and the fountain I placed raised happiness a lot and my people are having a festival. The hand in the corner lets me access different god powers that let me do different things.
This is the dock. You use it to explore new islands that offer rewards in the form of stickers.
This is a chest. These chests once you open them offer stickers or gems.
This is just a cool shot of a thunderstorm at night in the middle of a lightning strike.
A storm turns the sky dark and the buildings stretch in the wind.

Only One
Hello peoples. Today I'm blogging about another iOS game. Here it goes.
The game is called Only One. It's based off retro sword and sorcery games with you and a sword facing off 63 waves of enemies and 7 bosses on a huge pillar in the sky. Their are also old school passive and active abilities. The passive abilities are last stand, might, magnet, reflektor, backstab, and regen. You can have a max of 3 of these at once and you don't have to tap them they are always on. The active abilities are push, freeze, bubble, whirlwind and dart. You can also buy more hearts, more shield symbols, faster movement speed, and higher attack. These abilities you have to tap to activate and they have various cool down speeds. When a level starts enemies will appear on the pillar in a bolt of lighting and continue to do so until the level is done spawning them. Once they are all killed the next level automatically starts. Every 10 levels is a single boss. You can buy the abilities with power which is the currency. The currency drops from enemies that you kill, however if you hit them off the pillar the drops also fall. Enemies also drop hearts that fill your health bar one, and shields. Enemies that carry shields if you kill them while they have their guard down, if you hit them while their shield is up eventually it will break and it won't drop. If enemies kill you then you restart on the level right after the last boss you beat, or if you haven't beaten one at level 1. Thieves are the only enemies that don't try to kill you, instead they run around the map stealing things that drop. If your grinding for power it's a good idea to kill them before they teleport off the map because they drop a lot of things. It's also a really good idea to buy the ultimate power. It's a one-time in app purchase that grants you access to some of the above abilities and doubles the amount of power you get. I am currently on the last boss who has a ton of health and is very fast so plan what you buy by that. Only one is a great retro hack and slash game and I recommend it to anyone who likes those.
Slimes are the most basic enemy; when their eyes glow white they are about to lunge at you so simple to dodge.
Three human enemies the archer, the basic swordsman, and the medium swordsman who has twice as much health.
The first boss, Sir Steadfast.
Bye.

Munchkin
Hello peoples. Today I'm blogging about a game I have. Here it goes.
The game is a card game called Munchkin. Munchkin is a funny medieval card game that has since grown in expansions to eclipse many different genres. The main idea is to make your character stronger with loot from fighting monsters and leveling up and if you reach level 10 you win. A while ago we bought the deluxe version of Munchkin. The only real difference is that it comes with a board to conveniently place the two different card types and each spot 1-10 keeps track of the players levels with their character pieces. Each player starts with one card that has a picture of a male or female munchkin, depending on what sex you are. This matters because some of the cards say (only usable by men) or (only usable by women) and sometimes you can be quite comically changed into the opposite sex by a curse. Next everyone gets 4 treasure cards, which are normally equipment like weapons or armor, and 4 door cards which have various effects. The first things you want to do is look through your door cards and see if you have any class or race cards. Class cards are like jobs such as wizard, knight, thief, etc. Races are like Hafling, Dwarf, Elf, etc. if you don't have a race card your human. You can immediately lay down these cards and they give you certain advantages and sometimes disadvantages. You can only have 1 race and 1 class unless a card says otherwise. Then you want to lay down any equipment. You can either have 2 items that say one handed or one item that says two handed unless a card says otherwise. You also cannot have 2 big items even if their both one handed. You cannot have more than 5 cards in your hand but you can take any extra cards and carry them by turning them sideways on the table. Now that everyone has the cards they want equipped equipped the youngest player goes first and then to the left. First thing they can do is play cards, switch items from carried to in play, trade, and sell items. You need to have 1000 coins or more worth of cards to sell. Every 1000 gets you one more level. Next you kick open the door. Flip over one door card and it acts it's effect. If it's a curse you are cursed with it, if it's a monster you have to fight it, otherwise the card is yours. All the bonuses of your equipment plus your level have to go over the monsters bonus to beat it. If it doesn't you can ask somebody else to fight it with you, play other cards that help, or try to run away. If you didn't draw a monster, next you can look for trouble by fighting a monster in your hand. Then if you still haven't fought a monster you can take a door card into your hand. Considering all of the bribery, backstabbing, alliances and trade in this game, there is much much fun to be had. I would definitely consider buying Munchkin. Bye.

Epoch 2
Hello peoples. Today I'm reviewing another iOS game. Here it goes.
The game is called Epoch 2. I've previously reviewed the first game Epoch. I was browsing the App Store looking at the weekly featured games and was lucky enough to catch this sequel I knew nothing about. I play epoch 2 on my iPhone. Epoch is post apocalyptic warfare between robots. Supposedly the world ended because it's present day but there's lots of robots for bodyguards and even butlers. So suddenly the 2 biggest robot makers, Omega Tronics and Guardian started wearing on each other with the robots all over the planet and shooting down humans in the crossfire without caring. So you are a unique robot who reboots but you don't know how long you've been out. All you're memory files are there except one. You're mission is to find Princess Amelia. I'm guessing she is a princess somewhere in europe but it doesn't tell you. You are probably the only robot that still serves it's original purpose which apparently is to protect the princess.
So in Epoch you make your way across the city to the cryo tower which supposedly has the princess. In the end you find her in a cryo tube and she is able to communicate with you through a holograph machine linked to her mind. In Epoch 2 she orders you to explore the world around you trying to find out if their are any last traces of humans. One of the improvements Epoch 2 makes over it's predecessor is the abundance of different bosses to fight. In the first game there was only one boss at the need whereas this has a new one every couple levels. It also has the original enemies but also has new ones too. You can buy different guns like an machine gun, a laser gun, a grenade launcher, an acid gun, etc just like the first game but in my opinion the store is laid out much better, is more balanced and it also includes weapon types that are completely new. You can also buy many more grenades, missiles, and special powers compared to the first game.
So I hope you buy. It it's fast paced, you can doge behind barriers and target enemies. Bye!

Dragon
Hello peoples. Today I'm writing about a movie. Here it goes.
The movie is Dragon. Dragon is a movie about Bruce Lee's life. It starts out with his father having a dream about Bruce walking somewhere in China as a kid at night and he starts walking past several stone statues and he gets increasingly scared of them. Eventually he gets to a huge stone samurai and screams and runs away when it comes to life. The stone warrior had just caught up to Bruce when hid dad woke up and visited Bruce to make sure he was ok. Eventually Bruce grows up and after he starts a fight with relatives of some important people in Hong Kong his father warns him of a demon that killed Bruce's older brother in child birth and how he had named him Bruce to trick the demon and taught him Kung Fu to protect him but now to protect him again Bruce must be sent to America where he was born.
Bruce starts off as a typical teenager, an irresponsible money waster and he gets in trouble at his dish washing job for hitting on a girl there that the head chef likes. This leads to a really cool fight scene with Bruce against roughly five guys all with cleavers. After this his boss gives him some money and warns him not to waste it. Bruce starts taking psychology classes in college and a jerk guy at the gym started a fight with him. The fight leads to several people asking Bruce if they can learn Kung Fu. He starts teaching and through this he meets Linda.
Linda and he date as he teaches Kung Fu and eventually they get married. After Bruce's teacher really kicks off he gets a message saying that he can't teach people that aren't Chinese so he has to defeat a man in combat in order to earn that right. Bruce manages to beat the man and he gave up but when Bruce's back was turned he got up a kicked him in the back, breaking it.
Bruce works hard to get back on his feet and eventually he's alright and has a son, Brandon. He goes to a tournament to advertise his own style of Kung Fu but the crowd boos him and ask him to prove its worth. In order to do so he says he'll beat any man in 60 seconds and the guy who broke his back comes up. Bruce barely beats him in 60 seconds. After this he gets some fame but repeatedly gets failure in Hollywood in America. After learning of his fathers death Bruce travels back to China and there gets contacted by movie directors and fires off several hit movies. During this he has troubles with his wife and family and on the set of Enter the Dragon he finally kills his demons borrowing strength in order to kill the demon before it could hurt his children.
Dragon is a great movie. Bye.

Hello peoples. Today I'm writing about another iOS game. Here it goes.
The game is called Rival Knights. Rival Knights is a jousting game made by Gameloft. You are a peasant in a village who has to become the greatest knight in the land to avoid having your village and your lands bought by the notorious Lord Cunnings. The jousting itself is simple but intuitive and fun. First off it counts down to zero and if you tap the screen right on time with it then you get "Perfect Start" icon which raises the speed of your horse. Tapping to early or to late will do nothing. After that you get a curved bar with an arrow running along it. If you tap the screen when the arrow is in the green area then your horse speeds up perfectly, stop it in the yellow your horse speeds up a little, stop in the white and nothing happens. If you get it perfect for 6 or 7 times then you get the high speed icon. After 7 of these speed rises you move on to the next part of the joust. Now you are close enough to aim your lance. The game provides a target somewhere on the other knights body, the target gets smaller and more precise as you get closer. If your lance is almost exactly on target the target will be yellow, if it's on a greenish, blue then your are perfect on it so keep your lance steady. If you hit the knight when the target is green them you get the "Perfect Hit" icon. Getting Perfect start, High speed, and Perfect hit will result in a critical hit that raises all your stats. Their are 3 stats that determine the winner. Before the joust begins it shows yours and your opponents. The three stats are defense, speed, and attack. If the icon showing the stat is red then your opponent has better equipment than you, if it's green you have better equipment than them, white is a tie. If you do better in 2 or more stats at the end of the joust you win, otherwise you lose, or if all stats are white or one green, one red and one white then it's a tie. Speeding up your horse during the joust will raise your speed stats and being closer to the target raises your attack stat. This makes it possible to beat an opponent even if all his stats are better than yours before the match begins. Defense is the only stat you cannot change during the match unless you get a critical hit which raises them all.
There are five different things you can buy in Rival Knights to help you. You can buy better helms and armor to improve your defense. Buying a better horse will increase your speed stat. Buying a better lance with improve your attack stat. Some lances are harder to aim then others and also some horses are harder to speed up then others. There is also a weight factor in Rival Knights if your Helm, Armor, and lance weigh to much for your horse you can't joust and have to either get a horse that can carry it or change your equipment. You can also buy things to change your emblem with which is the flag or banners that represent your knight. You can also buy things that go on your emblem that discount equipment but these cost diamonds which are harder to get then gold.
There are a few different level types. The first is a simple encounter where you joust 1-3 people with each person costing one of your 6 maximum royal seals. There's also king of the hill where you have to start over at the first person if your beat at the second or third, challenges, where you have to beat your opponent and also get perfect start, high speed, or perfect hit, an arena type where you gamble the money you get beating the first person and keep on jousting harder opponents, if you lose then you lose all the money you would have received. Lastly there's sponsored matches where you joust with equipment that's not yours with your reward being to unlock one of those equipment, and the boss matches where you have to get best 2 out of 3 against a boss. After progressing after an entire League of which there are 5 you get access to another round of equipment so that league 1's equipment is pretty standard leather items where as league 5's has expensive steel items. There is also multiplayer where you fight others and if you are a certain ranking after a tournament is done you get rewards. Jousting in these matches requires multiplayer seals.
Rival Knights is a great, simple and addictive game. It's free on the App Store and although it's does have the secondary currency of diamonds that you can buy with real money, it's still very easy to acquire them with multiplayer or beating bosses which is the first time I've seen a secondary currency balanced that well. In most games where you have to wait a specific time before you can play it again it becomes very frustrating but in this your seals full up rather quickly and is perfect for on the go play.
Screenshots showing how your equipment gets better and more complex as the leagues go on.
My emblem
The single player campaign with a boss of league 4 at the top.
The multiplayer tournament screen.
A cool animation at the start of the joust.
Before the joust begins, showing your stats as well as power ups you can use.
Getting a perfect start.
Getting a perfect speed rise, perfect hit happened to fast to screenshot the moment of impact.
Getting a critical hit.

There's also king of the hill where you have to start over at the first person if your beat at the second or third, challenges, where you have to beat your opponent and also get perfect start, high speed, or perfect hit, an arena type where you gamble the money you get beating the first person and keep on jousting harder opponents, if you lose then you lose all the money you would have received. Lastly there's sponsored matches where you joust with equipment that's not yours with your reward being to unlock one of those equipment, and the boss matches where you have to get best 2 out of 3 against a boss. After progressing after an entire League of which there are 5 you get access to another round of equipment so that league 1's equipment is pretty standard leather items where as league 5's has expensive steel items. There is also multiplayer where you fight others and if you are a certain ranking after a tournament is done you get rewards. Jousting in these matches requires multiplayer seals.
Rival Knights is a great, simple and addictive game. It's free on the App Store and although it's does have the secondary currency of diamonds that you can buy with real money, it's still very easy to acquire them with multiplayer or beating bosses which is the first time I've seen a secondary currency balanced that well. In most games where you have to wait a specific time before you can play it again it becomes very frustrating but in this your seals full up rather quickly and is perfect for on the go play.
Screenshots showing how your equipment gets better and more complex as the leagues go on.
