Cool Coaster Designs

Nice collection of well designed coasters. Ya so what, you say... well, it's amazing how many times people look coasters, especially when there is a lull in the conversation. A good coaster will fit a good restaurant like a glove, and will reflect the mood of the restaurant. Funny, Soft, Loud, Edgy, ect, the coaster is just one aspect of good design. ok... enough of my rant.

Open Bottle of Wine with Secret Knock... Not really... but darn Cool.

Got a bottle of wine on hand but no corkscrew to get it open? You can argue all you want about whether or not the guy in this video really needs more wine, but you can't argue with the results

Open door locks with a secret knock. VERY COOL

So the Freemason's would love this device. Knock on the door in the correct (and secret) way and the door unlocks. Now you just need to know the secret handshake, secret password, and secret dance and you too can be a Freemason.

School of Wizardry on Facebook

I've found a new love.... School of Wizardry on Facebook. If you've not discovered it, let me give you the 4 word summary..... Harry Potter on Facebook. Yaa!!!

I've also discovered a blog dedicated as a tutorial / discussion of School of Wizardry. It has great advice on setting up your character and advice on playing the game. It is well written and a bit fun to read... that is if you are a Harry Potter fan as I am.

If you want to join my order on facebook, check me out and send a request to become friends... and mention my blog. Just do a search for Patrick Hoesly.

iPhone Game: Dungeon Hunter

I downloaded Dungeon Hunter from the iphone app store several weeks back. I have to say it is a fantastic game! A huge world with a large variety of adventures really makes the game entertaining for a long time. What is really nice is the ability to custimise what type of character you want to play, as well as the skills, abilities and weapons the character uses. This makes the game far more personal and entertaining.
As for the graphics, sound effects, music, fight engine, and overall crafting of the game... well... it is first class the entire way! Check out the attached video below to see for yourself.

Now that I've finished the game (twice), I can't wait for further adventure add-ons, or the sequel. Good Job GameLoft!
