Memovator: The Toughest Game You’ll Ever Love (or love to hate)
When it comes to the iPhone, it seems casual games have enjoyed the greatest success, and it doesn’t get any more casual than a game that almost always ends in 2 or 3 minutes. Memovator is just such a game, or at least it is for me. Like most great games, Memovator is extremely simple to play, yet extremely difficult to master. The game puts you in the role of an elevator operator – an occupation not seen since the days of Looney Tunes cartoons. As each person enters... Read More
Profanity: When a 4 letter word just doesn’t cut it
Ever wanted to curse someone out, but wanted something really creative, or just so flat out bizarre that the person will think twice about your mental state before crossing you again? Well check out Profanity (99¢ app store), the iPhone app that helps you piece together some fairly original, if not effective, curses. Just give your iPhone a shake and out will pop some of the oddest assortment of would-be curses imaginable. While most of these 32 character epithets are a bit... Read More
Best iPhone costumes to date – hopefully it comes with a Chiropractic app
I made an iPhone costume last year which I thought was pretty sweet (basically a sandwich board type thing with giant glossy icons printed out), but apparently it sucked and I looked like a dork, because these guys went all out and really made a kick-ass iPhone costume to die for… and yet they too look like dorks. The video is rather short, presumably either because both fellows suffered crippling back injuries 30 seconds after putting on their costumes (which consist... Read More

A game you may not want to win
Want a sneak peek at Apple’s next iPod touch commercial? I’m pretty sure it’s only a matter of time before we see Mystery Butt showcased by Apple set to a catchy tune. What’s so interesting about Mystery Butt is it’s a game that you really shouldn’t be all that proud to be good at. I mean sure, most of us can tell the difference between a penguin’s butt and an elephant’s butt, but if you can make the call between a Seagull and... Read More
This is why virgins shouldn’t write sex apps
And just how the hell am I supposed to do that? Purely for research purposes I decided to check out “A Sexy Party Game for Lovers 1.5“, one of the 40,000 “sex game-themed” apps on the iTunes store. And I hate to admit it, but apparently I am doing EVERYTHING wrong. Hopefully the next tip says “Make up some excuse for your creepy behavior, like claim you have asthma, and try to get them back into the room.” Getting turned on yet? This... Read More
This thing would out sell the Bible
Forget taping an iPod nano to your shoe for upskirt videos, something tells me this app would be bigger than Godzilla in Japan. (And at my house). Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Joern for the link! [via BenM.at] Read More
You know you’re wearing tight pants when…
There’s something kind of bizarre about this picture. No, it’s not that Megan Fox is still with Brian Austin Green, it’s that she carries her iPhone in her armpit. I guess it wouldn’t fit in any of those pockets (not that anything would) – although I’m sure my hand could… I don’t know, it’s not like she’s carrying a stack of boxes, she clearly has a free hand… And for the record, if you care, Brian Austin Green...
