    So Crossy Road.

    WTF is up with that stupid, random eagle? I can't seem to understand what I'm doing that's triggering it. It just feels like it just occasionally shows up to shit on your game.

    The eagle isn't random -- it comes when you take too long. The map scrolls slowly when you're not moving and if you pass a certain threshold at the bottom of the screen you get eagled.

    That being the case, it'll also happen if you backtrack too far or when you're already falling behind.

    Dragon Quest III went live last night.

    I was checking the SE store page to see if they ever bothered to update TWEWY for iOS8 (they did not) and there was DQ III staring me in the face. This one is $10 and makes the jump to 16-bit.

    Interesting story - A guy I work with runs a Dragon Quest fansite. 4th result when googling that phrase. He's pretty excited over all the recent releases.

    I tried to add my details to the Game Center Profile list, and couldn't. Is it locked?

    Also, anyone else waiting very impatiently for Tales From the Borderlands on the iPad?

    Might have been. I went back in and retoggled the public settings and it looks like it's working now.

    I'm probably way, way late to the party on this, but I finally found out about Letterpress. Of course I'm addicted now. Need more people to destroy play with!

    Thinking about defriending someone on Gamecenter so I can be at the top of the Crossy Road leaderboard.

    Downloaded 2 Cars, spent 30 seconds playing it, and uninstalled it. It seems like it's a really fun game in the vein of Super Hexagon and the like, but my internal wiring freaks out while trying to play it.

    Heads up for Crossy Roads players: don't buy the piggy bank from the menu. One of my post-round pop-ups offered up the piggy bank at the normal $4 along with an extra 1000 coins. So of course I bought it. I actuality bought a couple other characters through the $1/250 coins offers, but I'm done with that now after buying the bank.

    Also, the bank does double the coin amount from watching ads from 20 coins to 40.

    Yes, it's part of a Pocket Gamer advent calendar promo. Every day until Christmas a new game goes free for 24 hours. On the 8th it was Shadow Blade, which also seems pretty good.

    Just got my first iOS device about a week ago. I'm Mustafya in gamecenter and just sent out a couple of invites + added my name to the spreadsheet.

    Right now I'm doing Clash of Clans, Injustice, Family Guy Quest for Stuff, Knights and Dragons, Hearthstone, Avengers, and a few other games.

    Poopy Pigeon is my main go-to. All that poop! And I love the noises.

    I briefly had access to flappy fish (or whatever it is) and that's just great, too.

    I'm a fan of Crazy Ol' Ben, personally.

    Can't believe I'm about to post spoilers for fucking Crossy Road, but here we go. Unlocking the character that can't be purchased
    Play as festive chicken until you get to a big clearing with a Christmas tree in middle. Go up to the tree and presents will fall out of it. Ta da, you've unlocked Gifty.

    Only missing three characters at this point: kiwi, swamp frog, and swift snail.
