Frank's Cell

Last week I interviewed Joe about his iPhone, and agreed to get together with Frank this week to ask him the same question:


Frank: So, huh, I'm just suppose to list everything I have on my iPhone?


Me: Ah, pretty much. You can leave something out if you don't want us to know, though.


Frank: Oh, ah  no, of course not... *turns beet red*


Me: Oh, I didn't mean, ah... So, how 'bout we start with something simple, like music?


Frank: Um, sure. I don't really have a lot of music on here, just my favorites in case I have some downtime. A couple Beatles albums, a few Queen albums, a No Doubt album...I keep most of my music on my ipod...


Me: That's okay, thanks for sharing. What about apps?


Frank: Okay, so I have Evernote to sync with Joe on cases, Dictionary.com's app, a flashlight, an alarm clock, a Sudoku app, Star Walk, an offline wiki (I don't trust Wikipedia, but it help out on cases when I need to do some quick research, even when I don't have reception), Opera web browser, Netflix, Snapseed, SoundHound, iBooks, Pulse, Google search, Gmail, and a quote app for fun. And I have Nike+ activated.


Me: Cool. What about movies, ringtones, or your backround?


Joe: *walks in* Seriously, you guys are still at this? Sheesh. I already watched the first Harry Potter movie... Oh, that would be Agatha Christie's and Doctor Who episodes off of Netflix, every song off of The Beatles "1" album- don't you have a Owl City song in there too? -and a picture of us and Nance in front of Jake Hurley's train.


Frank: *blushes* Ah, yeah, pretty much...


Me: Okay, well, unless you can think of something else, I think that's it. Thank you!


Joe: Good, 'cause I just got a call from Dad, sounds like he needs are help with the insurance fraud case in California...


Frank: Okay. Well, see ya.


Joe: Bye!


Hehe. ^.^

Hardy Boys Games

DreamCatcher Interactive Inc. produced two Hardy Boys PC games: The Hidden Theft in 2008 and The Perfect Crime in 2009. Personally, I never got to play them but I never really heard anything good about them.


The Hidden Theft is a adventure game, but from the reviews on Amazon and what I've heard on the HeR message boards, there's a lot of bugs and the game isn't up to par with the Nancy Drew games. The main complaint seems to be the plot: super lame.


The second is a hidden object game, and a really bad one apparently. Courtesy of the Amazon reviews, I found out that the Hardys spend most of the time cleaning up their room or the Chief's office just to find one item.  Sounds like basically the same thing they did with the Agatha Christie hidden object games.


Apparently another company acquired the rights to the Hardy Boys games, but no plans for another game have been made public. Hopefully, if they decide to make one, they'll improve upon the older games.


Of course, there's also the Hardy Boys DS game, Treasure on the Tracks, produced by HeR. I've never played it because I don't have access to a computer, but what I've heard is good. And then there's always the part where Samantha Quick shows up. I watched over half of Arglefumph's video walkthrough, and with the exception that it seems like a Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon/Romanov crossover, I'd have to say it looks awesome.


Overall, they're have been mixed results on the Hardy Boys games front. The PC games have been a bit of a failure, but the DS game has met with pretty good reception, though nothing about a sequel has been said.


Your thoughts?
