nerd alert : the 13th skull

  

This weeks gaming glimpse is sort of different. The Thirteenth Skull is a "hidden object game" - think of I SPY but with a plot. In this Lousiana bayou based mystery, you are a asked to investigate the disappearance of a missing husband & set off riffling though attics, broom closets & ancient tombs looking for clues to solve the crime.

This type of game is available from BigFish a site full of leisurely games - which is great way to get those gaming toes in the water. I will admit that these games aren't epic - but they're a lot of fun. they are also cheap & available as a direct download! Did I mention its available on Mac & PC?!? Mac options always make me sooo happy!

01/ hunter wellies $125.00  //  02/ victorian sofa $3500.00  //  03/ jolly rodger flag $4.87  //  04/ treasure chest $99.00
05/ voodoo doll necklace $25.00  //  06/ chandelier vinyl decal $28.00  //  07/ antique crystal chandelier $345.00  //  08/ turtle shell $18.00
09/ crow skull necklace $28.00

The setting of the 13th Skull makes the game - you are in an old plantation surrounded by Spanish moss and aligators - investigating a mysterious dissappearance that seems to bee linked to the houses original owner - a pirate. Characters are abundant as you try to find the perpetrator - suspecting Voodoo and other magic is a part of the puzzle. 4/6 Polly toes.

If you are even a tiny bit interested you can download a risk free 1 hour "try it" trial of the game!

my iphone is stalking me

by now i am sure everyone's heard the latest scandal - iphone's tracking you everywhere you go!
honestly though ... this really doesn't bother me.

its a lot like how facebook and googlemail know where you were last time you signed in..
in fact, a lot of people like the security these things offer (well - they like to know if people in california are illegally logging into their accounts)

but isn't this all technically the same thing? sorry people - but if you log into an account - any account - from any computer in the world - your location has been linked to your identity. and you are fooling yourself if you think they aren't storing this information.

since this information isn't available in real time (unless you download this app to stalk people on your phone) i personally don't view it as that much of a safety issue.

so i guess i am wondering how much this bothers you? enough to turn in your iphone and turn off your facebook? stop using email?

wrapping things up

since i am leaving i have a TON to wrap up at work - fast.... today i am working on eleven wall murals that will appear on each floor of a new residence building on campus... three down - eight to go!

boston bound
