My Day Yesterday: Job Interview and Angry Birds Rio

I had my new job interview today. Had to wait for the manager to get done with whatever, but after being bored to death she finally came out to interview me. We actually talked for about an hour, so I think it went pretty well. Apparently there will (hopefully) be a 2nd interview with another manager next week. 

I also played some levels in Angry Birds Rio which I bought the other day for my iPod Touch. 

Then I went to work later on. Had to deal with the incompetency of a new girl, but the rest of the day went okay. 

Chrono Trigger Is Coming to Android and iOS

The beloved classic is coming to all the iOS platforms and the Android Smartphones. No price or release date yet. 

Gamestop Now Buying Your iPod

So pretty much any Apple device made in the past few years is up for grabs. Enjoy trading in that $600 iPad for $100 or something credit. I'm just guessing there, but I bet I'm not far off. 

Original Max Payne Coming to Mobile Platforms

The notable shooter from the PS2 and Xbox will be coming soon to mobile platforms. None have been announced so far, but you can expect it to release on iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android for sure.

Sonic CD Confirmed for XBLA, PSN, iOS, and More

One of the best Sonic games ever will be coming out to XBLA, PSN, iOS, and some other devices. Can't wait to replay this gem of a game. 

My Day Yesterday

About as soon as I woke up this morning I get a call from my girlfriend. A company asked her to go get an interview and she got hired. She starts this morning actually. I wish her the best of luck. 

I'm actually trying to get a new job myself. The job hunt starts again tomorrow. 

Found out where the Halloween Express will be in my town this year. I can't wait until it opens. 

Also played Tennis and Ice Hockey for NES, and reviewed them both. 

Also found my lost pair of headphone buds. Now I can listen to my iPod Touch again. 

Blockbuster By Mail also sent me Batman Arkham Asylum for 360 right before I went to work. I wish my house wasn't so dead last on the postal route :( Oh well.... 

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 Won't Come Out Until 2012

Pretty lazy considering the first episode came out almost a year ago. I really wished they hadn't cut the game up into episodes. I thought the gaming community learned a few harsh lessons from Half-Life. 

Apple Becomes #1 U.S. Company in Terms of Monetary Vaule

It's kinda hard to believe how far Apple has risen over the years. A decade and a half ago, they were almost a joke to the computer world. Loved by many, but mocked by so much more. Then they came out with the iPod, and then the madness started from there. Now they are worth more as a company than Big Oil's Exxon Mobil. 

I only have one Apple product, and that's my iPod Touch. I only really have it because it's my mini-computer and I'm too poor for a smartphone. I actually went into an apple store the other day, and was amazed by how many people were shopping there. They don't really sell anything different from Best Buy, just a lot of Apple employees ready to make some money. 

Things I Like: Pac-man Championship Edition

Pac-man has been rehashed so many times over the years it's a bit ridiculous. However this was one gimmick I actually liked. 

It's basically Pac-man but with upgraded graphics, cool graphical effects, new music, with different speed and game-play touches. 

It plays pretty well, I just wish companies would do this more often. 

Words with Friends Coming to Facebook

The popular Scrabble rip-off is coming to Facebook soon. I have the iOS app and liked it quite a bit. 

Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions Coming to iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad

The Playstation classic will hit the iOS systems on September 15th. 

Things I Like: World of Goo

World of Goo was a pretty big deal on WiiWare and PC a few years ago. I pretty much got sucked into the  hype and bought it pretty quick. I heard they've also made versions for Mac, Linux, iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. 

The concept for World of Goo is pretty simple. Build your tower of goo power to complete your objective. 

My favorite was the frog stage, but I must say they do get way too hard later on. But it's still a fun game for anyone to enjoy. 

Netflix Can Now Be Played on 3DS

It was something I wished the DSi could do, and now that I have an iPod Touch I don't really have the need for it, but other people might. The service is free (but you need a paid Netflix membership), and the movies are 2D only, but with hopes in the future to make them 3D. 

Played Magic Piano By Smule

Neat little app for my iPod Touch.

This piano shit is kinda dumb. More a virtual tinker toy than anything. 

I do like this mode though. I just wish the iPod Touch's screen had more room. This seems perfect for an iPad though.
