I won runewars! by a lot! in the 5th season! I can now be content that I’ve won the game once; doesn’t matter if I never do again 🙂

today at the forum shops apple store, i played with the ipad. i totally want that star walk app, the calendar is as awesome as i thought (bring the new design over to ical, apple!) and ibooks is fantastic. sadly, didn’t get to check out the marvel app.

conclusions:

  1. gosh it’s heavy
  2. despite the tagline, it is not quite ‘magical’
  3. also w/r/t the tagline, the price is not ‘unbelievable’, at least not in the way apple’s marketing guys want you to interpret it.

also, probably longest post title ever.

There's also a Katamari level where everything is just slightly bigger than you, and a Mario level with a star just out of reach.

not super new, but forgot about it until I saw it surging on buzzfeed. click to embiggen.
