Finally! The die app you role players (or lovers of multi-facted dice) have been waiting for has arrived, from MachWerx. It's Mach Dice and it's beautiful. The premise is simple. You choose the dice, you make the roll. You can select any type of die you want, up to 100 of them - multiple dice of different sides are available as well.

It wasn't too long ago that I noticed a nerdcore rapper tackling the subject of text based adventure games. Now it seems that the popular software (popular amongst us text based adventure game enthusiasts that is) Frotz has been ported to an Apple App!

I've been fooling around with Cro-Mag Rally by Pangea Software for a couple of days now, mostly during my commute and I've been very much enjoying it. It's everything Monkey Ball should have been - less monkeys, more fun.

This is almost the dice app I've been searching for! It looks amazingly pretty, the dice actually roll on screen with a flip of your phone or pod, the sounds are good, and it even rolls higher than a 5 on six sided dice! You can skin your dice in various ways to play good old 6 sided games, poker or what have you.

Diceshaker is another handy app to have if you're into rolling multiples of d8's on your iPhone or iPod Touch. It's a bit more flexible than the previous apps I've looked at in that you have more dice / multiples to choose from.

In my continued quest to find interesting and useful apps from Apple’s App store I came across Ambiance. It’s a fun coincidence that the two apps I downloaded first ended up #1 (Koi Pond) and #2 at the apps store for paid apps. Both are $0.99 apps and both aren’t games. I find this trend [...]

Koi Pond is really very lovely to look at. The water is done wonderfully, reacts well to touch and has nice splooshy sound effects. The fish act naturally and will dart around your screen if disturbed, as advertised. As you can see from the screen shots, it's quite beautiful to look at.

Proving once again that money doesn't necessarily always flow towards the smartest individuals, someone has released the "I am Rich" app to the Apple App Store. This $999 app does nothing but display an image of a ruby on your iPhone or iPod touch. Why? So you can show everyone how much of a rich bastard you are, being able to afford to drop a grand on a picture of a ruby.

Here's my new favorite app - available free through the app store. Dice Bag! It's nice, simple, sharp looking and a lot of fun to show off to other gamers.

The Daily Mail reports word from a trusted industry source that Apple, Inc. will be releasing the iPhone Nano in time for the 2008 holiday season. The slimmer, cheaper version of the hugely succesful iPhone will not have internet access and will be limited to the 3G network.

Now that the new iPhone is sweeping the nation (hey, almost 0.0034% of the US population has one) there are lots of reasons to go pick one up. I unfortunately will not be doing so for a variety of reasons, mostly centering on green things that fit into pockets and don't come out of anyone's nose. Since I'm not getting one, I've sat back and picked through my . . . thoughts to compile a list of 10 reasons why I'm glad not to have a new iPhone!

APC has a great article up on the top 10 reasons to hate the new iPhone 3g. As much as I kind of want to, I really don’t hate the new iPhone. In fact, I’d love to have one.
