You’re the (Nexus) One That I Want: Confessions of an iPhone Lover Gone Astray

To protect the innocent, names have been changed. In this publication, a once-faithful iPhone lover will be referred to with a fictional Twitter name: @madluv4iPhn. A recent tweet: @madluv4iPhn Dear iPhone - I've met someone new named the Nexus One. I'm strangely attracted to her and need a few days to figure ...

What SOPA Means for Gaming PR

SOPA. It's much ado about pirates. Not the cool kind of pirates who wear eye patches, sail ships, bury treasure and say stuff like yo-ho-ho. No, SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) is about the kind of pirates that suck. SOPA what? If all the cool kids weighed in, would you ...

SpotON Radio is Spotted on the App Store

Remember how we said that SpotON Radio was a new Spotify app that was going to come out on January 9th? Well, it is, and it did. We also mentioned it was going to be free, and guess what? It is! Man, we were right on the money with that story. See for ...

Casual Connect 2011: Games Industry Fishbowl?

With Casual Connect, the fish analogy is easy. You're gathered in Seattle, surrounded by the sea, partying in aquariums, and hell, I even roomed with a finned friend this year. Our hotel pet (affectionately and temporarily named Sarah) stayed in her fishbowl out of necessity. But will the casual gaming ...

Refunding a Free Admission: Taking Care of Customers in F2P

Last week, on the TriplePoint blog, I wrote a short piece about taking care of angry customers when the service has been poor. I advised providers to be forthright, humble, and to make an immediate reparatory gesture for best results. Karma, it seems, is a real kick in the teeth ...

Snarky Facebook RPG Fantasy University Now Open to All

Wake Up, Pygmies; Time to Die

2. February 2012

0 Comments

Having time-travel powers, as movies and books have taught us, would be pretty fantastic. You could go back into the past and hunt dinosaurs, or go to the future and learn the results of sporting events, and nothing could possibly go wrong. Unless you’re a Pocket God pygmy, in which case everything will always go wrong, [...]

Androids Can Now Save Yello

2. February 2012

0 Comments

Androids. Yes, they’re heartless machines masquerading as people, and they will probably some day enslave our planet. But even a cold, unfeeling Android wouldn’t turn its back on a helpless goldfish, removed from its bowl and in desperate need of rescue. Worry not, future machine overlords — Saving Yello has been released for Android phones by [...]

Pocket God’s Tragic Comics are the Best Ever

Frisky Mongoose may have a touch of bias when we tell you that the Pocket God Comics app, which allows you to read hilariously malicious comics from TriplePoint client Bolt Creative, is the best comic app ever. So, it gives us tremendous pleasure to be able to say that with independent, external validation. Pocket God Comics was just [...]

So you say you’ve gone online and conquered all there is to conquer online in Conquer Online. Well, the conquering heroes at NetDragon, a TriplePoint client, have added a bunch of new stuff that nobody has conquered quite yet.

Save Yello, Save Money

24. January 2012

0 Comments

The new release from dreamfab, Saving Yello Lite, is not a game about hanging on to your very last colored lightbulb in order to have the best holiday decorations ever. That would be an awesome game, though. No, Saving Yello Lite is a free “sampler” version of Saving Yello, the hit app from the TriplePoint client and fish-sympathizing [...]

OneSchool Shows Up at Eight Schools

24. January 2012

You can learn a lot at just one school. It would be extremely inconvenient if you had to go to separate institutions for communications, business, gastronomy, and cartography. Thankfully, there’s just OneSchool for all of that. OneSchool, a TriplePoint client you could learn from, just closed a $750,000 seed round and launched the OneSchool app [...]

Atari’s Breakout Boost Gets Even Boostier

Atari, legendary game company and TriplePoint client, decided to give a little boost to one of their breakout titles, Breakout: Boost. A free-to-play iOS take on an enduring classic, Breakout: Boost came out a little while ago and put a few new spins on the original brick-hating gameplay. But that clearly wasn’t enough, because now there’s an [...]

Thankfully, they have developed a hardy breed of adorable bears, specifically bred to withstand bumping.

Piracy Runs Rampant in Conquer Online

12. January 2012

0 Comments

When you get as popular and successful as Conquer Online has, you’re bound to start attracting pirates. Things are so bad for the iPad MMO from TriplePoint client NetDragon, that the pirates are actually showing up inside the game itself, utterly dominating the new expansion that launched today. Players can even make characters in an all-new [...]

Go to School, School Others on the Go with Hero Academy

What makes a hero? We can finally put that question to rest — it’s not bravery, or selflessness, or any of that saccharine nonsense. To be a hero, you clearly need to have attended Hero Academy, gotten at least an undergraduate degree, and continue to support the Hero Academy NCAA team. At that point, you will [...]
