Club Penguin Cheats

I know a lot of you probably play Club Penguin (www.clubpenguin.com). I personally think virtual worlds for kids are just annoying. I do not play, but my friend Aidan does and I would guess lots of other kids do too. Anyway, if you do play Club Penguin, you may be interested in a blog I found by clicking the random blog button. It is a blog about Club Penguin cheats, and could be fun for anyone who plays. Visit it by clicking here. Do you play Club Penguin? Why or why not? Leave a comment!

Favorite Mac Apps- Sutter’s Pick

Here is my pick of favorite Mac apps. Hopefully I will have Aidan’s pick later.

Top 5 Favorite Mac Apps:
1. Safari- It comes with Mac OS X and it’s Apple’s browser. It is my favorite browser.

2. NetNewsWire- The Mac OS version of the iPhone app.

3. Google Earth- Google’s 3D aerial imagery earth program.

4. Parallels Desktop- For Intel Macs, allows you to run Windows side-by-side with Mac OS. Useful for doing Windows things on your Mac.

5. SuperTuxKart- My favorite game of all. (See “Review of SuperTuxKart“)

Favorite iPod Touch Apps- Sutter’s Pick

Here are my top 5 favorite iPod Touch apps.

1.AIM

Allows you to text chat with you AIM buddies.

 

2.Cube Runner

Tilt the device side to side to steer through a course of cubes.

 

3.NetNewsWire

Ever noticed the little blue RSS button by the url of some webpages? This program read RSS feeds and over WiFi syncs to NetNewsWire on my Mac.

 

4.Tris

A Tetris style falling blocks game.

 

5.BreakClassic

A breakout style game. Compared to alike game in last “iPhone/ iPod Touch Game Comparison.

iPhone/iPod Touch Game Comparison

Comparing BreakClassic with JirboBreak: 99 Levels

 

These two games are breakout style games where you use your finger to move a paddle along to bounce balls and destroy bricks. (Game called “Brick” on older iPod.)

 

Jirbo Break

Good:

When you pick up your finger, the game pauses.

High score board.

More colorful.

Bad:

You have to hit each brick twice, making annoying to play for too long.

No extra ball bricks, just extra life.

Scoring isn’t clear. One brick is worth like 50 points.

 

BreakClassic

Good:

Extra ball bricks.

No “Unstop-a-ball” brick.

Only have to be hit once.

Bad:

Only 25 levels, though 5 new ones come every week or so.

No high score board.

Falling bonus points objects (stars and apples) are hard to catch.

 

Overall, BreakClassic is my favorite over a Jirbo game again. (Marble Mash is Jirbo too.)
