I Surrender! the best annoying and addictive game ever

 

I Surrender! is one of those games which are soo annoying that it makes u play them over and over again. I mean this game will embarrass you and make you feel defeated sometimes. But at the same time it'll appreciate you and make you feel good if you finish the level. This'll make you wanna play 
this game and finish it.

The game has two parts in a single level. The upper part where it usually annoys you and the lower part where it usually makes you feel good. The game achieves this task by displaying text on the screen which usually reflect your emotions at that level more or less accurately. 



   

 

 

There are obstacles in different shapes that require perfect timing from you to avoid crashing. If you jump too early, you’ll crash. If you jump too late, you’ll crash.

There are leader boards and stuff too.. There are 2 stages which contain 30 levels each. I almost took 3 hours to complete the game and died 2245 times. Mildly annoying yet impressive game. Just remember before playing this game be sure you can control your anger and wont break your phone.


If u wanna see some gameplay watch the video

New Facebook Messenger App Update ( 05-06-2014 Version 5.0.0.0)

Facebook has released a new update on 5th june 2014 and made the already slow app even slower. I mean it was bearable before the update on my nokia lumia 520 but after the update it became slower than a snail. 

Not this snail though, this snail is freakin' fast.

The native "Microsoft's" facebook app was crap ( I mean genuine crap). It didn't have any useful features at all and on top of that it sure was buggy and laggy. Then there came the Facebook Official Messenger App, I was so delighted to hear that and installed it with much enthusiasm. But it was a bit slow on my lumia 520, I though arhh.. it should be my limited ram that's causing it to run slow. But hey it was waayy faster and much more reliable than the facebook app itself. I was ok with that fact and learnt to cope with the app's performance. But to make matters worse ( waaayy worse) there came the latest update ( version 5.0.0.0). Bumped up the version number to a whole number and brought a whole lot of problems with it as well. 

The app overall became slow, and the chat messages are sent very late, the seen and typing features were becoming unreliable. But this update brought a couple of new features to the table too. Like,

Groups: Now you can create groups for the people you message most. Name them, set group photos and keep them all in one place.

Instant photo sharing: Take a photo and send it in just one tap. Plus, it's easier to send photos from your gallery.

And in the end they say they are working to make it more reliable and use less data (Yeah, right!! I can see that). 

So if u can avoid this update please do. If u really need those new features only god can help you.

If u disagree with me or you didn't encounter the same problems as i did, Or if u do agree with me, or for just the sake of why not.. let me know your feedback in the comment section below and if u like what you read like it and share it in all the usual places.

To download or not to download windows phone 8.1 developers preview

 

I love the windows phone user interface from as long as I remember. I always wanted a windows phone, they had the best user interface ( according to me) on any smartphone. I had received my first windows phone when I was 16, it was a NOKIA LUMIA 520 and I loved it (a lot). But there was always something about the way things are done and app availability made me frustrated and question the reason why I didn't go for an android phone. But there came the news of Windows Phone 8.1 update, I was very exited and eager to install the update on my phone and knowing Microsoft I knew they would deliver the update to my Lumia 520. Finally the time had come( April 14 ) and i installed the developers preview.

So here it is... I finally have windows phone 8.1 on my phone and I loved it. I loved cortana, the notification center, transparent tiles and everything about it. But as I started to use my phone more and more I started to encounter a lot of bugs which started to annoy me again.

One of them are the facebook application which I hated all along my journey with windows phone. It was crap, I use facebook a lot and I can't go through a day without looking at my friends posts and occasionally chatting with them. It was crappy, buggy, unreliable, and slow. That's the only reason I don't recommend windows phone to my friends. And the problem with 8.1 is it doesn't seamlessly integrate with facebook anymore it needs the facebook app to do so. And it doesn't do its job correctly. When i try to sync my contacts from the facebook it says unable to sync, no matter how many times I try. And the most annoying thing is that if I logout from the facebook app all the contacts in my peoples hub loose their contact pics which is very very annoying to me.

The other glitch I encountered is when I take a pic from the camera app and try to delete it, it doesn't get deleted and it usually takes about 4 or 5 times tapping the delete button to finally succeed in doing so.

But as of today after receiving 2 more updates from microsoft it became a bit more stable and user friendly than before which is always a good thing. So to answer the question of whether to install the developer preview or wait for the actual release is that if u are keen on the features windows phone 8.1 brings to the table and don't care about these silly glitches and bugs then go ahead and download it, i'm sure u'll enjoy it. But if u want a stable and reliable experience then don't.

In case u want to install the developers preview follow this link
