Lie Swatter (walk through)

Lie Swatter is a new game from the creators of You Don't Know Jack. Currently Lie Swatter is an iOS only game but an Android version is coming soon. Lie Swatter is free to download but does rely on some In App Purchases, they are not required to play though. I have been playing Lie Swatter for a few days now and have thoroughly enjoyed the game, I can't believe how much I thought I actually knew were facts that were not or vice versa.

Overall this is a terrific game for the family to play, you can add friends or family members by email address or username. If you want to challenge me to a game, my username is Total iPad.

Overall this is a very fun game and well worth the free download to play!

Build your own LEGO iPad stand

I don't normally share videos on Total iPad that are not my own, I prefer to try and keep everything original but this LEGO iPad stand was just too awesome to pass up not sharing. I am a huge LEGO fan and last summer I got to visit LEGO Land while I was in Florida on vacation with my daughter. I am not sure if I will order this or try to buy the pieces and build it on my own. Either way if you are a LEGO fan and own an iPad or an iPad mini then you may want to check out this video and consider buying this awesomeness for yourself!

MLB At Bat 2013 - UPDATED

This morning MLB At Bat 2013 was updated to version 6.1.0, this was a major upgrade to the At Bat application. I am most excited about the new video section for the iPad, I believe this was already in the iPhone version before this update. I am glad to see At Bat getting updated on the iPhone with all the features that make the iPhone version so great. If you are an Android user I almost feel bad for you, the At Bat app on Android is nowhere near as robust with features as it is on iOS.

New features:

• Multi-platform live audio access for At Bat 13 subscribers (portable to Mac/PC with a valid MLB.com account)
• Universal support for At Bat 13 subscribers, accessible on iPhone, iPad and other supported smartphones and tablets
• New video section featuring more highlights and search (iPad)
• Sortable batting, pitching and fielding statistics (iPad)
• Re-designed individual team pages (iPhone)
• Updated news section interface (iPhone)
• Classic games library featuring more than 60 historic games dating back to 1952 (iPhone and iPad)
• Re-architected navigations (iPhone and iPad)
• Additional push notification options (iPhone & iPad)
• Closed captioning availability for live video (iPhone and iPad)



You can download MLB At Bat 2013 free in the App Store (subscription required for some features):

LIE SWATTER

Lie Swatter is a new game from the creators of You Don't Know Jack, another terrific, fun game. I will be uploading a live hands on demo of Lie Swatter in the next couple of days, stay tuned.

Jellyvision Games, creators of YOU DON’T KNOW JACK, announced their next game for the mobile platform: Lie Swatter.

Launched today on iOS devices with a future Android release planned, Lie Swatter is an irreverent multiplayer trivia game that asks, “Can you separate strange fiction from stranger fact?” To download Lie Swatter free on the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, please visit: Lie Swatter by Jellyvision Games, Inc.

“Lie Swatter is the further evolution, or devolution, of our brand of twisted trivia, and another chance to prove to your friends that they’re dumber than you are. Plus you get to squish bugs. Deceitful, lying bugs.” said Mike Bilder, General Manager of Jellyvision Games. “We’ve built Lie Swatter from the ground up as a quick, turn--based mobile gaming experience that we think both YOU DON’T KNOW JACK fans and insectophobes alike will love.” Note: No bugs actually harmed during game. We love all creatures of the Earth.

Lie Swatter is a free-to-play, turn-based mobile trivia game. Players may find opposing players via Facebook Connect, email, and username, or play a random unsuspecting foe if they prefer. Integration with Apple’s Game Center is also planned.

In each of the three rounds, players pick a category and are presented with seven statements... and then the swatting begins. Players find and crush ridiculous lies with a satisfying splat, while avoiding odd truths like “Christmas trees kill an average of 13 people a year.” Not feeling confident? Jellyvision Games has you covered with Category Zappers and Helpers, available for purchase with in-game tokens. Don’t worry, Jellyvision Games won’t judge you for artificially enhancing your performance.

Lie Swatter represents Jellyvision Games’ second mobile effort and a further demonstration of the developer’s focus on the social and mobile gaming world. Expect content updates and special categories to be announced soon.

Topps Pennant (Baseball Part 3)

Here is the deal, I went to review Topps Pennant tonight and realized I already reviewed Pennant back in June. Instead of reviewing it again I just decided to upload it to YouTube which I originally didn't do. I figured instead of reviewing Pennant again I would just link to it in a new post since not much has changed since my last review.

Baseball Trade Rumors (Baseball Part 2)

A couple of weeks ago I said I was going to review my favorite baseball applications leading up to the start of the baseball season. I got a little sidetracked due to life but I did not forget that I said I was going to review them all so here is part 2, Baseball Trade Rumors.

If you are wanting up to the minute news on the latest trades or rumors revolving around your favorite players or teams then you will want to check out Trade Rumors. I have been a long time reader of the Trade Rumors website and having this information on my iPad is awesome, getting push notifications is even more awesome. Especially if you are a fantasy baseball player then you will find this app super useful because it will keep you up to date with all the baseball transactions and roster moves.

Baseball Trade Rumors is a universal iOS application and will work on the iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Trade Rumors was updated in January and now fully supports the iPhone 5. I mostly use Trade Rumors on my iPad as that is where I do all my baseball related research for my fantasy team as well as keeping up with the Giants and Yankees.



FEATURES:

• Select only the players or teams you want, and receive a push notification for every related new rumor


• Be the first to know about any official trade or free agent signing with our Transaction push notifications


• By popular demand: filter the main news page to show rumors for one specific team, or only the transactions


• View the 40 latest stories, easily refreshed via pull-down


• Log in through Disqus and leave comments on MLBTradeRumors.com

Episode 38 - Podcasting

We originally recorded this podcast about a week and half ago but I have been out of town this last week and lazily didn't get around to editing the audio until today so I apologize in advance. On this episode Boyan and I discuss some of our favorite Podcasts applications, our favorite shows, and Podcasting in general! If you are listening to this Podcast then you will probably find this episode really interesting!

For me personally Podcasting is something that I go into a little over a year ago as a hobby. Podcasting is something that enjoy doing and I think over the last year or so I have gotten a bit better and less shy about doing not only this show but also my video app reviews. When I say shy I mean nervous about not making mistakes, I've realized that mistakes are going to happen and you can either try to edit them out or just leave them and face the music. I have faced a lot of music!
