^^^ the issue is one of the town rank upgrades, which requires what's really a quite high monthly income for where you are. Fortunately, you get the circus right around then, which makes hella money.io_burn posted:Keep in mind, willingness to stick around is the most important qualification. I've been dealing with this really irritating trend recently of people just vanishing shortly after I get their paperwork all set up. I think three of our best writers had zero pre-TouchArcade games writing experience beyond just being forum posters here and other places. I used to write for JayIsGames back in late high school/early college freelance, and I've been meaning to get back on board. I can't guarantee too much in terms of time per week, but I'll stick around for a good while, probably. I'll shoot you an email in a bit.

Alpha Kenny Juan posted:Dumb question i'm sure. Can I buy in-app purchases with appstore credit or are they solely credit card? I have a few giftcards from the holidays, but i pretty much got most apps i'm interested in already. Just wondering if its possible. Yeah, it'll default to gift card balance first, then any outstanding balance would go to a credit card.

As a gay I am always pretty sick of giant anime tits in video games. I'm almost positive that it has to work, that there are guys dull enough to go "phwoar, lookit dem boobs" and click and download just to stare at breasts while they're playing, because why else would they keep doing it? I mean, I guess that's why Dead or Alive went from a fighting game series to a boobjiggling game series.

Shalinor posted:... I don't mean to derail a sex talk with sex talk, but uh, what is up with your avatar? Is there a story behind that? In a GBS thread Morally Inept (who has a title linking to a post he made where he acknowledged having sex with his dog) said that Pistorius would get away with the killing because rich guys can buy their way out of anything. I thought he was being self-aggrandizing so I asked him how much it cost him to get away with what he did with his dog. Apparently it cost, like, ten bucks. RIP Teddybear Picnic Lyme Disease Awareness Title, 2010--2013. You were big, silly, and purple. Just like me. If you have a suggestion for a new one I'm probably gonna get one tonight, it's gonna derail too many threads. I'm leaning towards just a big , but with the current title that comes off as... Menacing.

Pladdicus posted:In regards to Dungeon Plunder, it recently received a pretty cool updating balancing things and some ease of life changes. The path makes progression a little bit easier (you start at a higher level now following subsequent runs much easier) and making monsters more unique. It got me back into it. I had been stalled out around level 6 for a while. It only took one breakthrough and now I'm off to the races. Getting into the intermediate runes helped too. That game has no business being as fun as it is. I fear that we might be approaching the point where slot machine combat games are becoming a genre, and maybe it's the compulsive gambler in me but I am on fuckin' board. Also kids playing video games with their parents is never not adorable. I remember playing Tetris against my mom on the original Game Boy-- I was really proud the first time I beat her. (And I'm like 95% sure she didn't go easy on me. ... I think all moms are secretly really good at Tetris. Whenever I bring this up everyone's like "yeah, my mom was a Tetris pro.")

Shalinor posted:You're right. I was wondering about that even I was typing. Any design with progression has a grind. Hell, I'm playing Lost Planet 2 right now, and that absolutely has a grind, despite being a $60 game from years ago with no IAP or RPG mechanics of any real kind. All I know about LP2's system is that it metes out unlockables through a goddamned slot machine, which is about as grindy as you can get.

Download those, all of them. After several months once you come off your Nimblebit high (unless Pocket Trains is a thing, in which case there's like a force multiplier there when it comes out) Rayman Run, Spacechem and Jetpack Joyride if you haven't played the later 2 anywhere else. Pocket Trains? Come on, it's gonna be Teensy Trains. Lil' Locomotives. Cute Cabooses.
