When I was a kid one of my favorite games of all time was Nintendo’s EarthBound for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. I stayed up entire weekends rummaging around in trashcans and eating discarded hamburgers and getting heat stroke in the dessert. EarthBound was an incredible game and was very refreshing from the onslaught of fantasy driven role playing games that were available for the SNES at that period in time.
I still like to play EarthBound once every few years as the games is still incredibly enjoyable. Not having the same amount of free time I have had in the past and really missing the refreshing feeling of hearing the almighty “Smaaaaaash!” sound effect as you struck some unlucky hippie with a critical hit from your cracked baseball bat inspired me to put together this EarthBound Soundboard for Google Android powered phones. This is a free download which can be downloaded from the Android Market. Just search for the keyword “Earthbound” or “Earthbound Soundboard” and you should be good to go!
If you like the application don’t forget to rate it and leave a comment! Also I would love to hear and suggestions for sound effects that you guys would like to see added!
Tiny Shopper is a small shopping list application that I have been writing in my spare time. My goal was to create a shopping list application that that focused on design and simplicity. Something where I wouldn’t have to fiddle around with bar code scanning or categorizing based on rows. I’m a lazy shopper and I do not like to have to sit around and waste too much time fiddling with things that are just making the situation way more complicated then it needed to be.
As for the application itself, it has one main input field on the top of the screen. From there you put in the item you want, then the price of the item, and then the quantity. Easy as pie allowing you to quickly add items to the list as fast as you could send a one sentence text message. (e.g. “Bread, $0.89, 2”). If you don’t happen to know the price or the quantity that you want you can just leave those blank and it will put in default values. The app will also keep a real time calculation of the items in your list and the items added to your physical cart so you’re always aware of how much you are spending.
You can download the application free via Android Market. If you like the application and would like to donate a little something towards its development – aka beer money – you can also download the special “Donation Edition” of Tiny Shopper for only $1.29!
