   I've never done a blog about an iOS game before. What is there to blog about? Angry Birds? Doodle Bowl? Think we all know what they are about. Fairly simple and fun ways to pass the time on your iPad or phone. But lately I've discovered some good lengthy games to play on iOS. Hollywood Monsters is one of them. It's a port of a PC game from Pendulo Studios. When they made the iOS version they changed the two main characters. They became Liz and Dan,who are both reporters.

Happy Easter everyone! Hope it's a wonderful day today where you are. I'm not the most church going fellow. In fact I don't go at all. Don't agree with the agenda and dogma of most local churches. But I am Christian and this day is special to me. But even for folks of different faiths it should be a day of fun. We are having gorgeous weather today and people are out having egg hunts and doing outdoor stuff. It's a good day for a bike ride or a hike I'd say.

    Are you ready for virtual reality gaming in 3D? It's coming,perhaps next year in fact. The Oculus Rift headset is being developed by Oculus VR Inc. right now in hopes of a launch of consumer products in 2014. They received nearly 2.5 million in funds from a Kickstarter campaign. The device was demonstrated back in June of 2012 at E3. Developer kits are ready to go. The device has an effective resolution of 640x800 in stereoscopic 3D. It employs an Adjacent Reality Tracker,which uses a combination of 3-axis gyros,accelerometers,and magnetometers. This allows the image to refresh instantly upon head movement. Uses a USB interface to send the tracking data to the host machine.The images shown here are of prototypes. the finished product will be much more streamlined and easy to wear. Much like a pair of those protective goggles you wear in the workshop.
