two dots
App Answers

I know almost nothing about mobile games. I’ve never played 2048, I don’t even have Candy Crush downloaded on my phone. I just always thought I had better things to be doing than staring at my phone for hours on end. But I was so, so wrong. I downloaded two dots a few days ago and I literally cannot put it down. I’m constantly playing it when I’m not working (and sometimes when I am). I never thought a game would have me checking my phone as much as Two Dots does.

The great part about Two Dots is that it requires no skill: just connect two of more dots of the same color to remove them from the board. Watching those little dots disappear right before your eyes is freakishly satisfying. And the makers of the game gave it a story, too. You’re accompanying two explorer dots named Amelia and Jaques as they go to all these crazy places. The farther you move up in levels, the crazier the locations are: first you start in a cabin, then you dive underwater, scale a mountain, and escape a volcano. The way you play the game is always the same but adding the locations gives it a really nice touch. Because the game designer spent so much time making it look pretty I don’t feel as bad that I spend so much time trying to beat it.

Two Dots

At the beginning of each level you get an objective that you have to meet in a certain number of moves. The objectives start out easy – just clear a certain amount of dots of each color from the board in a certain amount of moves. In that way it’s a lot like its predecessor, dots, which was basically played the same way. But in dots you were trying to clear the board as quickly as possible so that you could get a high score. In two dots the goal is to move up levels. But as you move up levels the objectives and boards get trickier and trickier. For the levels I’m on you have to drop anchors off the board by getting them to the bottom row. I hear in the upper levels there’s fire and blocks of ice that you have to deal with, but I’m not there yet!

Seriously though, you really should try this game. It’s fun, easy to understand and play, and it looks pretty. Unless you have a lot of work to do this week. In which case you should stay far, far away. If you can’t help but feed your addiction, check out Two Dots Tips for help.

Urban Pictionary is a new game for iOS devices that’s been burning up the charts lately. It’s easy to see why–the combination of easy rebuses and raunchy humor is a home-run for developers looking to cash in on the current casual gaming craze. MobileX Entertainment dispatched a few interns to make a spreadsheet of dirty words from Urban Dictionary, made a few vector images to match, and called it a day–a very, very profitable day, as it turns out.

But surprisingly, not every level of Urban Pictionary is simple. In fact, some of them are so bonkers they’re next to impossible to figure out. Here are a few of my favorites–no, that’s the wrong word. Is there a term for a part of a game you wish you could choke to death? Whatever, here are some of those.

Doggy Style

Yeah, okay guys, sex positions are super funny. But are two people wearing generic clothes automatically “stylish”? I regularly wear an outfit fairly similar to the dude on the left, and I guarantee nobody will ever mistake me for Tim Gunn. I guess her shoes are pretty hip or something. Maybe I just need to watch more Project: Runway reruns.

Mullet

urban-pic-lrg-019

 

Your ability to guess this Urban Pictionary answer will depend entirely on whether or not you know the phrase “business in the front, party in the back.” This is something that thousands of men (and a handful of lesbians) believed with all their hearts in the 1980s: that the crime against hairdressing known as the mullet was somehow acceptable for a professional environment. Or any environment. They were wrong, and today, wearing a mullet is punishable by death in eight states. Aren’t we all better off?

Circle Jerk

urban-pic-lrg-020

 

Props where they’re due: that is definitely a circle in the upper left corner. But who the actual fuck drew that picture of what I assume must be beef jerky in the bottom right? I admit, it’s pretty tough to draw something as weird and gross-looking as strips of cured, dried cow flesh, but come on. That could be a picture of literally anything. I thought it was a pair of sensual velvet evening gloves for a solid minute.

Babe

urban-pic-lrg-037

 

Okay, objectifying women is one thing, but saying “a sexy lady” is equal to “a world-famous swine” is just crossing a line.

John

urban-pic-lrg-089

 

A man who frequently calls upon prostitutes for their services. I object to this picture. That faceless (and mostly limbless) man is far too classy to pay for sex. He’s probably a Men’s Rights Activist anyway.

There’s a new quiz app for stoners on the App Store, and if you can put down the pipe for two seconds and remember anything about the world’s most beloved drug, you might just be able to master it. I tend to doubt it, though. “Ultimate Weed Trivia” is the kind of game made by pot smokers who are fascinated by weed, to the point where they will talk your head off about cannabinoid chemical compounds and optimal growth environments. These folks tend to also be the ones who have Opinions on why the government has banned pot for decades, though, so they’re way too annoying to actually listen to. But Ultimate Weed Trivia makes me wish I actually knew what they were talking about, because some of these facts are absolutely nuts. Here are just a few of the 100 crazy things we at Bolt3 learned from Ultimate Weed Trivia.

1. A Chinese Emperor Explored Pot Science Back in 3000 BCE

chen-nung
Chen-Nung was a pretty chill guy. While teaching ancient Chinese peasants to plow fields and use axes, he also took some time to investigate…ahem, alternative agriculture. Also anglicized as Shennong, this emperor did experiments with all kinds of herbal drugs. It’s a wonder he wasn’t too blazed to actually harvest his crops.

2. Jefferson Used Hemp as Money

jefferson
Back in 1781, Thomas Jefferson was governor of Virginia. Things were going pretty well for Tommy Boy, what with having time to invent the dumbwaiter while his slaves did everything of real importance. But there arose a problem: there wasn’t enough paper to print the money Jefferson needed to keep capitalism afloat in his state. Jefferson thought fast and used his strategic hemp reserves(!) as money until regular paper could be brought back into circulation. Maybe he used Ben Franklin’s hemp press operation to print everything.

3. There Are Over 200 Slang Words for Marijuana

Sure, there are always going to be street names for any drug, but this is pushing things a little too far. At this point, if you say a word, it can probably refer to pot in some way according a stoner somewhere. I prefer asking for “trees” myself.

After watching Penny Dreadful Season 1 Episode 2 “Seance”, I think it is safe to say that this Showtime TV series is going to test the limits of just how nutty a Primetime series can get. Penny Dreadful Season 1 Episode 2 does not air until Sunday, May 18, so a spoiler alert is warned before reading on.

Reasons Why Penny Dreadful is Batshit Crazy

1. Dorian Gray and Brona Croft’s sex scene

Episode 2 introduces the characters of Dorian Gray and Brona Croft. Brona Croft is an Irish prostitute, who meets Dorian Gray at his lavish mansion for a photo shoot. Brona is suffering from a horrible sickness, and as she poses for Dorian Gray she begins to cough up blood all over herself. Dorian is unnatural turned on by this and one thing turns into another. The result is a very bloody sex scene…viewer discretion advised…

2. Vanessa Ives becomes possessed by a demon with a very dirty mouth.

Vanessa Ives attends a party at Mr. Lyles home when an unexpected seance begins. The spirit that appears possesses Vanessa Ives. At first it seems like Sir Malcolm’s daughter as a young child. And it is very creepy to see Eva Green impersonate a little girl. But then the spirit takes a whole other form. The “C” word is thrown around several times and the sexual vulgarity in this scene will make your skin crawl. Viewer discretion really advised…

To read the full episode guide, go to this Penny Dreadful Recap.

Let’s face it…Candy Crush is so yesterday! Which is why King.com came out with Farm Heroes Saga! Same concept as Candy Crush – swiping away to make matches of 3 or more, gathering a certain amount of items, obstacles, and characters. It’s Candy Crush–but only BETTER!

Because you get free, recharging boosters and can use in-game items, like magic beans, it’s easier to feel like you’re making progress and won’t get bored.

3. Magic Beans Can Be Used In Levels

Once Flappy Bird was taken off of the iTunes store because of its wild popularity, copycats have been popping up everywhere. One of the most favored, whose name is an ode to Flappy Bird, is called Splashy Fish. It the most popular rip-off of Flappy Bird, and is essentially the exact same game except it is an underwater adventure of a pixelated fish. An addition that Splashy Fish brings to the table is that the hero of the game gets to pick up accessories the further along you go, which is an exciting novelty I suppose. What might be the most entertaining aspect of this game is what objects appear on the ocean floor as you mosey through the pillars, because they’re unusual items to say the least.

 

The most traditional item that you can find on your adventure is a treasure chest.

Splashy-Fish-Treasure-Chest

Speaking of expensive items, there are gigantic diamonds as well as diamond rings that you can find.

Splashy-Fish-Diamonds

This might be more common depending on where the body of water is but there is an occasional skull appearance.

There are also chocolate chip cookies which seem to be in very good condition for being underwater.

Finally, the most unusual item that appears are cacti. Yes, multiple cactus plants appear, which just doesn’t make sense!
