Last Post

I decided I'm not going to be continuing Zaffy's World anymore. It was a great experience but I've lost the interest for blogging. It was really fun but I just lost interest in it. It was an amazing 5 months, but it's over now. And now it's time for my stats, mostly because I'm obsessed with them.

Zaffy's World
First Post: April 2nd, 2011
Last Post: September 4th, 2011

That's all for this final post on Zaffy's World. And if I ever want to get back into blogging, my next blog will be called Zaff Attack. I'm making a blog for it now but won't post on it unless I'm drawn back. So anyway I'm making Zaff Attack so nobody will steal the name. That's truly it for ever. Bye readers.

Bad Bad Blogger

I didn't lose power from the tropical storm, well I did but it was only for 2 hours. So I haven't been the best blogger but I'm trying to change that. I'm going to be really busy for the next 3 months so I might not be able to blog everyday, but when I do I promise to put effort in. I decided it's quality over quantity. And I really need to stop rambling, so I'm cutting it off here.

Today I'm going to be working on the Star App page and I'll be updating it every week. I'll probably put in a section for this week's star apps, and that will be reset every Friday. So today's app won't be included in it's own weekly app section because it would be a waste to put a whole section for one app, so all apps from tomorrow forward will be put on the Star App page.

Today's Star App is SPY Mouse. If you haven't seen it, which is nearly impossible, go to the Games section of the App Store and you'll find it. The game is $1 but has 6 different worlds that all include their own fun. I even want to cut this post short just so i can go back to playing it. I sat down and started and it took me almost half an hour to unhook myself. That should be enough to prove it's a great app, but if it isn't I don't feel like typing anymore. That's all for today.

I Might Be Gone For A Few Days

Hurricane Irene is coming right for where I live and I'll probably lose power, so just wanted to let you all know that.

Sea Monkeys!!!

Today I saw something on TV about sea monkeys and I learned their real name, brine shrimp, in science so that inspired today's aquatic themed day. I'm too young to remember having sea monkeys as cheap little pets, but I've heard about them a lot. And I found a picture of monkeys in the sea that made me laugh. I'm terribly afraid of of baboons, because I once saw a special about how they break into cars and once, they stole a baby. I'm saving your mental images by not telling you what they did to that unfortunate baby. On a happier note, I found a fun image for today's star app.
I couldn't find a picture of a real blue sea star that was wide enough to write Star App on, so I just got a clipart blue sea star. But anyway, today's sea star app is Tap Fish 2. The point of the game is to buy fish as eggs and raise them until they mature. They each have a certain time limit which determines when they'll become adults. Once you have an adult fish you can sell it for a profit. I'm not sure how the whole feeding thing will work overnight, but as soon as I wake up I'll give a small report on what happened.

It was hard trying to find a game on Kongregate involving the ocean that was fairly new, so I didn't. I spent most of my day playing Papa's Freezeria until I got to Level 10 and plan on playing more tonight. It's sort of like a DQ blizzard place because you can make flavors such as chocolate peanut butter cup, mint oreo, and other combinations available at Dairy Queen. I'm tired and my rambling is starting to even tire me, so that's it for today.

Busy Stuff Is Over... For Now

The last week has been really busy for me, and I'm glad it's over. But school starts soon, and I'll be pretty busy then. That's where the for now part comes in. So enjoying my relaxation, I had time to try out a bunch of new apps.
Today's star app is Gowalla, the check-in app. It's not the most popular, but is more colorful than the others and more animated. So far I have 50 stamps and 7 pins, which is amazing for an iPod Touch. You can check into any place within a 5 km radius, and that helped me "check-in" to places that I really wasn't at. So I cheated. But Gowalla is still an amazing app and you can download it here. You can't really see the link, so trust me and click on it. There's not a good wiki for it, so I'm going to add that to my to-do list. That's all for my review on Gowalla.
The Kongregate games are going to be regularly posted as of now. Next in the line of the Papa Louie's games by FlipLineStudios is Papa's Freezeria! It's the exact same concept of the other except this time you run an ice cream shop. The game's a little confusing since I'm used to the order ticket style of Papa's Taco Mia, but this was an easy adjustment. My first ice cream sundae wasn't pretty, but I still got a customer star for it! Personally, I'm astounded by how the customers give you such in-depth detail of what ice cream they want, but that detail adds fun to the game. And as of now, there are only two badges, but hopefully they'll add more sometime soon. If you have an account on Kongregate, which I highly reccomend, add me as a friend. My name is none other than zafeyry. This game made me really hungry for some ice cream, and I don't think I'd be able to work in a real ice cream shop without eating some of the stock. That's all for my review on Papa's Freezeria.

Too Young For Blog Bucks

I'm too young to make an account for AdSense, since you have to be 18. That won't put a damper on my blogging, and might even make it better. Without all the ads, I think I might write more and be more creative, so I'll take a crack at that. I decided to make an app scale to rate Star Apps, and I'll feature a page that shows the app's logo, it's rating, and a one word description of it. Here's a picture of the scale, that had to be made smaller so I can fit more pictures. There's still a lot of room until the small picture ends so I'll just fill it up with random stuff. Like the Kiwano, or Horned Melon. There's even a wikiHow on how to eat a kiwano. The fruit looks sort of like an oblong orange with spikes. The inside is green, and looks like a cross between a kiwi and orange inside. I think that little half paragraph was enough to cover the image to the left, to the left.
Today's star app is Crack Your Screen Simulator. This app can be fun to trick people who don't know about the app. And even if they do, if you tap the screen enough times it'll look sort of snowy and glittery. The app doesn't really work for people who already have cracks on their iDevices (aka ME). The app's still fun to use, and since it's free it's a fun download. The only thing that makes it look less like snow is the blue cracks, which are more rare than the silver ones.

I think I might feature a Kongregate game about every day too, because it gives you something fun to do after you read my blog. Today's game is Battle Beavers, which combined my too favorite things. You have to be stupid not to know my two favorite things, beavers and, you guessed it! Twizzlers! No wait, I got twizzlers and maces confused, but Twizzlers can hurt like maces. When you smack somebody with a Twizzler it stings, and makes your skin turn red. In my opinion it's worse than being hit by a mace. DISCLAIMER: ZAFFY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SKIN DAMAGE OR SURGERY DUE TO EXCESSIVE TWIZZLER BEATING.

250!!!

I finally got 250 views and now I'm going to try Google AdSense. This may be permanent or not, I'm not sure yet.
Today's Star App is Seize The Day - To-Do List by Functional Delights LLC. I had a To-Do List app on here before, but that wasn't free, like Seize The Day. This one is also a lot cleaner and easier to use. I didn't even notice there were ads since they're so small and at the bottom of the page. This app is a must have for anyone who's busy and will use their iPhone more than a planner (which is pretty much anybody). This app is especially great since I'm starting school soon, since I can put everything I need on one handy app. That's all for this app.
I also signed up for an account on Kongregate, and there are loads of great games that can entertain you for a while. I found an amazing game called Wonderputt. My favorite level is the one with the ski slopes and penguins, and the transitions between levels are really cool. The controls are also extremely easy, and the company that made the game has a very unique name, Damp Gnat. There's even a level that takes place inside a rocket/airplane, I'm not really sure which one it is. I even found myself trying to blow the ball back onto the lilypad in the lilypad level. Overall I love the game and think it's a good way to waste half an hour. So if you don;t have an account on Kongregate yet, be sure to make one. Maybe even put a reminder on Seize The Day!

It's Raining, It's Pouring, I'm Not Old And I'm Not Snoring!

That title could be a line in an amazing song about rain. So anyway, it's raining outside again today. It was rainy the whole day and it finally cleared up, but now it's night so it doesn't matter. I tried drawing some of the adoptables for my upcoming website, but they turned out terrible. I'll post pictures of the real adoptables once I transfer them from paper to the internet. I'll be sure to work on that for the next few days.

Today's Star App is Coffee World by SMLSD. In Coffee World you own a coffee shop and you can get upgrades on your machines and recipes. I'm too tired to come up with a review that will make the app sound great, so just try the app and download it, and you'll see what I'm talking about. That's it for today, but I'll be back tomorrow!

More Effort!

2 days ago the game was in maintenance so my day was pretty boring, but I'm going to change that. Another thing I'm going to change is my pageviews. I'm nearing 250, and for almost 4 months of doing this, I think I need to get more. My best month was May, where I had 85 pageviews, and the numbers have been declining a lot since then. So far I only have 8 for August. So this is inspiring me to put more effort into my blog, which I need to do. I'm going to start making posts every day and put more time into my blog, because that's the only way to make it better. Taking 20-30 minutes out of my day to focus on my post is something I can definitely do. And more effort led me to thinking about something special I could do, because I sort of lost my roots when I tried to make my blog more about me. I feel like I removed the spine from my blog, because before it was too stiff, and now it's too loose. So I'm adding a Star App, which is just like a daily featured app. If you want to see a list of previous Star Apps, I'll be making a page for it soon. And to prove how much I put effort in today, I even made a new icon for the Star App. I can't upload the Star App logo right now because it hasn't been made yet but tomorrow it might be.

Today's Star App is Shopkick! I don't have an iPhone, so I can't really take full advantage of it, but from checking into the stores everyday for a month, I've made upwards of 150 kickbucks and am almost Level 9. For the selfless shopkicker, you can even donate to charities through Shopkick. There are a total of 33 different charities you can donate to, and once you donate you get a neat little pin type thing for your My Stuff page. Sadly, the app doesn't have a social part, so you're the only one who can see your little pins. There are also badges, which you can get by going into stores, completing fun quests, scanning items, and becoming fans of stores. And if you decide to sign up for Shopkick (which you definitely should) my promo code is currant8399. If you enter this code when you sign up, you get an extra 50 kickbucks and so do I, so it's a win-win.

I was so excited to go into my first dungeon for Dragon Nest, and as soon as I hit the first monster there my computer froze up. So I'm giving up on Dragon Nest and I'm jut going to wait for the next Nexon game to come around. Or maybe I'll wait for a Facebook game from Zynga or Meteor Games. Whichever of these companies publishes a new game first will be sure to have me as a supporter, unless the game is terrible, and I'll become entirely obsessed with it. That's all for tonight, so bye.

Blogging Day

It's raining outside and the weather's pretty dreary, so that forced me to go inside and blog. And today I came across an amazing charity app called Raise The Village. Everything you do in your virtual village contributes to what the charity who runs the app does in the real village. And to prove it isn't fake they even have videos of them delivering things from vaccines to mosquito nets.

There's also something new on my blog, and if you don't notice you should check your sight. I changed the colors of my blog but I can't get rid of the birds in the top right corner. And Dragon Nest worked for me!!!! I'm so excited and can't wait to play. That will have to wait for tomorrow because it's really late.

Non Boring Day

Instead of making this another boring day, I'm making it my non boring day! Dragon Nest still won't even open for me so I decided my computer's too old to run this. I even tried deleting MapleStory and running it on low quality. My computer was only made 5 years ago, but I guess it's older (in computer years) than I thought it was. I guess I'll just wait for the next game Nexon makes. Or I could just play Dragon Nest without the special beta items, which I think I'll do. And this is making me even more excited for the next game Nexon has on their schedule, which I will participate in closed beta, open beta, and the game regularly. I might try Google AdSense to make more money from the blog to possibly fund a new computer. I don't want to sound greedy, but I guess I am. I'm also on the prowl for a new website that I can become addicted to. I'm like a jaguar with a computer. So if anybody has a fun and addicting website, and reads my blog, which is highly unlikely, leave a comment for me.

Back From Vacation!

I'm finally back from vacation! Dragon Nest has given people who were in open beta up until the 2nd were given an R2G hat and people who participated in the closed beta were also given a Pioneer title. Hopefully the game will be working for me and I'll be sure to get all the other limited items. Today's my boring day so that's all.

Pictures!!!

I finally found out how to put pictures in my post! So now I can finally post a picture of my pig popper! It can shoot up to 20 feet! And it really does. It even works if there's another ball stuck in it's head!



And up next is a picture of my amazing moose hat! Prepare to be astounded by it's moosiness! The only problem with it is the eyes that aren't really visible. But the antlers are amazing, so watch out!


And that was my moose hat! I'll be on vacation tomorrow and Dragon Nest refuses to load for me so I'll have to cut today's post short. That's it for now, and I'll bring more pictures soon!

Missing A Lot

MapleStory Adventures on Facebook was just released two days ago on the 27th. Between that and Dragon Nest, I'm out of the Nexon loop. I'm coming back from vacation tomorrow when I'll have a few hours to play the new games, but the next day I have to go on another vacation! So I won't be back from that vacation until the 3rd, and it's a really long drive, so I'll be deprived of a computer! Due to extensive research I think this would be a liable reason to get a laptop. Wait, I don't even know what the word liable even means. But if there were more pictures this post wouldn't be as boring. So I need a computer because the fate of all pictures of the Earth, and maybe Mars, will be at steak! Hopefully it'll be medium rare!

I bet you're all wondering what I'm doing on vacation. You're not? Well I'll tell you anyway. I bought an amazing invention which could cause mass chaos! It's a basket! It's a roll! It's marmalade! Wrong, wrong, and wrong! It's a Pig Popper! If only I could post pictures on here through my iPod. For a picture google it and if it's a picture of a pig in a Hawaiian shirt and white shorts with a tennis ball in it's mouth standing up like a human, you actually have the right picture!

I forgot something really important in my About Me post. I'm a male! Instead of putting two lines between paragraphs I think I should put a picture instead. If only I could put pictures! Then I could have a picture of steak, Dragon Nest, MapleStory Adventures, my pig popper, or my handy dandy moose hat. I also got my moose hat on vacation, and will bring you pictures as soon as possible! That's all for now!

More Meee!

I decided my blog wasn't personal at all. I sounded like a computer, blabbing about app this and maplestory that. I'll still write about the games and everything else but it won't be the same format. I won't go on and on when there's nothing to go on about. It wasn't my blog before, and now I think it's becoming MY blog. And I'll put more pictures, because a bunch of words can get really boring. I wish my iPod didn't have stupid and annoying spell check, so since I'm on vacation there might be a few grammar mistakes, so don't think I'm stupid.

About Me

My name is Sean and I'm a person. I know, that's shocking! I'm a person!!! Shhh! Don't tell anybody, the police could come find me. And there's no internet connection from jail! Well, I'm not sure about that. Some of my favorite activities are running, jumping, and hiding, which is the reason why I don't know if there's internet connection in jail. That's it for today!

Working Vacation

Main

Working on vacation is hard. I'll try and work more to stay working. I don't even have a computer, so it's harder to make posts on an iPhone.

App

Tower Defense: Lost Earth by Com2Us is a great strategy game. The towers are well done, and the levels are challenging. The enemies are also pretty crafty and you have to use the different towers to defeat the different enemies. That's it for today!

Retirement Day!!!

Main

Today I had orange juice. Orange juice made me think of Florida, and Florida made me think of old, retired people. Old, retired people made me think of all the retired topics on my blog. So today's going to be Retirement Day, where I make posts on all of the retired topics of my blog.

Monkey Quest

 
Monkey Quest was the game I started off my blog with. Every time I tried to turn the game on it crashed my whole computer. 1st part of Retirement Day, bad. But the next will hopefully be better.

MapleStory 
I haven't discontinued MapleStory, but I've ignored it drastically. So today, I'm revisiting the game, and I've come right in the middle of chaos. The game hasn't changed much, but it's still fun.

2 for 5

Main

Blah blah blah... I promise to post more blah blah blah

App

A fun, free, hoopla of an app is Racing Penguins. Thanks go out to Dictionary.com for the word hoopla! Hoopla was also on Spongebob, which I just happened to be watching. So back to the app part. Race Penguin is free and is really simple. It has the same exact sort of game play as Tiny Wings, but features a bird that is more known for being flightless, the penguin. Plus this game is free, so that makes it all better. That's it for now.

Random

I came across a great dragon adoptables website called Dragonadopters.  Even though there are only 10 different dragons, 5 stages per dragon, and 5 different colors per dragon. The Dark Dragon even has an Albino Color. There are 110 levels per dragon and it takes a long time to get there. A few days ago, a new species, called the Plesiodragon, was released. This website is great and has amazing art, has no premium features that require payment to make you jealous, and the website itself is free. I tried to make an account for zafeyry with my e-mail but it's sbcglobal.net which you can't sign up with for now. When I tried to create a non sbcglobal account I couldn't make one with the same name, so my temporary account is Binshup. Feel free to click on the link at the top to give me a click and get directed to the website.

2 In A Row

Main

I'm getting back on track with 2 posts 2 days in a row. Aliens don't have anything on me!

App

Swords & Soldiers is an app. It bears an uncanny resemblance to Supremacy wars, which was another featured app. However, this is more commercialized with cute graphics. You have to play as all three races to complete the game instead of finishing the game as one race. There isn't much to say about the app because it's a total ripoff of Supremacy Wars, and there isn't an upside to this. The plot is stupid and is about meat and a giant chili. The only reason this app neared the top was because Chillingo Ltd. produced, and they also produced Cut The Rope.

Random

I've recently become addicted to adoptable websites. I found a great hosting website and I'm considering making my own adoptables site. It will probably be terrible, but look for more updates soon.

Back From Nothing

Main

I was abducted by aliens for 10 days. And that's why I haven't posted. The food on the ship was great, and I recommend to anybody else who gets abducted to try the flatbread pizza. That's all for my review of alien food. Oh wait, I forgot a small detail. They had the astronaut packaged ice cream, which wasn't that bad. And that is really all for my review of aliens.

App

Speaking of being abducted by aliens, today's app is Run, Run, Chicken. You may be asking yourself what a running chicken has to do with aliens, well my advice is to stop talking to yourself because that's weird. Back to the alien relation. The poor chicken in Run, Run, Chicken had his mom abducted by the mean aliens which are not certified in fancy cuisine. The little chicken was just enjoying a day with his mother when she was abducted. I just came up with an explanation! Maybe the aliens were using the chicken to cook for cuisine certification. I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of the game the aliens gave you a piece of fried chicken. So that's all for Run, Run, Chicken... and aliens.

Random

Recently I've become addicted to Meteor Games. I played Neopets until Nick bought it, and Meteor Games is run by the people who created Neopets. They make Facebook games that are really fun. Island Paradise is my favorite because there is so much to do. You can plant and harvest crops, cook recipes, weave on the loom, and barista in the Tiki Bar. My second favorite is Ranch Town. I like the concept of this game better than Island Paradise. There just isn't much to do besides plant crops and make goods with machines. My least favorite is Serf Wars. There isn't anything to do. But there's a big upgrade coming soon so I'm looking forward to that.

MapleStory

MapleStory Adventures on Facebook will be back out of closed beta on July 27th.

Short Story Contest Update

I haven't had enough time to write a new story every day so I decided that I'll cancel the Short Story Contest until August. Since I just got back from vacation so the posts will be more frequent. Keep a look out for new posts!

Saturday, July 2, 2011

Vacation!!!

I'll be on vacation until the 4th so when I get back I'll have all the stories done and posted.

Friday, July 1, 2011

Title

Main

The food section was only temporary. I hate to see the little guy go *sniff sniff*. It has been almost 3 months and I found out that the only way to get more viewers is to make longer posts. So from now on, the posts will be longer, but I'll just have to deal with it and put in more effort. I was just kidding, putting in more effort probably won't be that hard.

App

Today's app is Line Birds. A bunch of great apps are based on birds. Maybe it's because there are a load of birds that do a load of things. There are bluebirds  that fly, penguins that swim, and ostriches that run. There are even birds named after fruits and shaped like round balls of fur with feet. Combine both of those and you have a kiwi! Back to the app. The app is made by the creators of Stick Stunt Biker, Line Runner, and Run Stick Run. The objective of the game is to fly your bird without hitting the lines coming out of the sides of the screen. You can unlock the birds by getting a high score or a certain lifetime score. The game is a lot of fun and the last time I checked it was #1 on the Free Games section of the app store. Spare the space and get it soon!

Random

Today I tried out some paid survey websites, where they pay you to fill out surveys. The surveys were long and agonizing. Plus, each survey made me under a dollar. Survey sites definitely aren't that good of a way to earn money. So that's really all I have to say about surey websites.

Short Story Contest Begins

 Story #1 - An ANTagonizing Adventure

"What was that noise?" Anthony the ant asked. Everybody rushed out of the office room. Another branch had fallen from the Tree Of Life, but there had been no damage. This had been the third sign they had seen this month, except nobody could read the signals. Anthony had been researching The Scrolls Of Legend and had found nothing. This third signal had made something inside Anthony click. He knew there would be great disaster coming. Then, the strangest thing of all happened. The branch burst into flames. After the smoke was gone and everyone was done coughing, Anthony examined the spot where the branch exploded. There was something written in Cricketan. Somehow Anthony knew how to translate. The singed ground read "The enemy is coming."

 And that was the first A Qualifier of four. This is just a snippet of the story and if this story is voted into the Semi-Finals more will be added to it. Every Qualifier will be at least 100 words long and for how the tournament will work click here. The next three stories will be posted in the next three days, and the voting day will be July 5th. Depending on how much work it is, this may be a one time only thing or a monthly deal.

Mass Posts Are Back

Main
I decided to add a new section, Food! Some beverages may also be talked about, but I don't really feel like calling the section Food & Beverages. Wait, that sounds sort of cool. Maybe I should just call it Edible Stuff, but I don't really want to eat everything that's edible. And now that I'm making posts from my computer again, I'm going to do mass posts because they're a lot easier and are a combination of everything rolled up in one.


Food (& Beverages & Edible Stuff)
Speaking of everything rolled up in one, today at Dunkin' Donuts I got the 'Captain America The First Avenger Tri-Cup Coolatta'. Mine didn't come out nearly as good as the one above. The cup from this angle looks like one cup but the only place it connects is the top. There are three 8 oz. peg-like things that make up the bottom. The blue part is Blue Raspberry, not much of a surprise. The red part is Cherry, which I hated beyond words. I paid $6.02 for it, so I had to drink the cherry garbage. And the white part is Vanilla Bean, which I thought would be past disgusting. I was wrong. The Vanilla Bean tasted like a Wendy's Frosty. I thought the white would be a normal flavor for anything frozen and patriotic, Lemon, but the Vanilla was actually good. The only bad thing about the cup was that the different flavors sloshed around in the car and I ended up with one side empty (Blue Raspberry), and my vanilla portion I wanted to enjoy later had turned pink. Thanks Cherry for ruining everything. Well that wraps up the first post in the Food section.

MapleStory

The closed beta of MapleStory Advetures has ended. For the two or three days I played, MapleStory Adventures was a good game. I can't wait for it to come out for a full release.

MapleStory Adventures

***CONTEST***

The first 3 people to comment on this post will recieve a MapleStory Adventures closed beta key. Please include your email somewhere in the post, and I will mail you the code as soon as possible.

So now onto the post. MapleStory Adventures on Facebook just might being back my MapleStory section. I don't usually log onto the real MapleStory, plus I love and always play Facebook games so this is a good choice for me. The game is a lot different. All you need to do is click on enemies to battle them and each hit takes one energy point. I like this way better, because I don't want to spend hours fighting monsters. There are only two classes, Warrior and Magician, but hopefully they'll add some more soon. I think the maximum level is 60, because weapons in he shop go up to Level 59. So anyway, be sure to check your email for your closed beta key or comment on my post as fast as you can!

I Can't Come Up With A Title

Well, I decided to ditch the mass posts. I can only type so far on my iPhone, which I use for the majority of my posts. I'm also going to be adding a new section for the month of July. This section is unlike any other I have right now. After blogging about some of my subjects for a while, they've become stale. The new section is Short Stories. This is how the Short Story competition will work.

Everything's New

 Main

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, this week I've been insanely busy. From here on out through the rest of the summer, I'll be sure to make posts every day.

App

Today I'm going to review an app that's not a game. There's a really useful app called To-Do List and it keeps track of everything you need to do. It sends you a notification when something is due, and I've been using it for all my homework and errands.

Free Realms

I've only made like 1 post about Free Realms, so I'm not going to miss it much. Free Realms is being discontinued on my blog.

MapleStory

Cake vs. Pie Has started! Of course I joined Team Pie because I hate cake. I wish there was a Team Waffle, because that would be even better than pie!

New Mass Posts

Main

I was thinking about my posts and decided to start making one post a day, and in this post I'll include everything I would've in a bunch of smaller posts. It's sort of like recycling, except for the Internet and I don't really need to save space. Anyway, I'm going to be starting these new mass posts from now.

MapleStory

MapleStory Adventures is coming to Facebook! I signed up for closed beta and hopefully my application will be accepted. The page has only been up for a day so I really hope I get in. I use Facebook a lot plus I won't need to download the game. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether or not you can link accounts from normal MapleStory. Either way I'm sure it'll be a blast. So be sure to apply if you want to try the new game out.

App

Today's app is Blind World 2. In this game you play a colored ball and your goal is to color as many invisible lines as you can. In the first few levels, you can't fall into endless invisibility, but in the higher levels you can fall and just keeping falliblng, which definitely isn't fun.

Vacation's Over

Coming back from vacation is hard, and I'm tryingly best to get in the swing of things. I promise from now on I'll make a post, or more, a day. Stay tuned for more posts and I think I might try and even plan some fan contests and activities.

Supremacy Wars

Supremacy Wars is a great game by Chillingo Ltd. You choose a civilization and try to conquer other civilizations. To play you drag a tower you own and put it on one you don't own. Half of your troops from your tower attack the other tower. This game is free, and it is really fun. Be sure to get Supremacy Wars.

My Week Long Vacation Is Over

I guess I forgot to write something about taking a week off the blog. Oops. Well anyway, I'm back and better than ever. This past week has really cleared my head. Be sure to look for more posts than ever!

Busy

I might not be able to post everyday because I'm busy blah blah blah blah. I know nobody really cares, and it's a mystery why I'm even posting this.

Sunday, May 22, 2011

Farming

Today I farmed all day, until I ran out of seeds. I went to the Marketplace and then Free Realms crashed. Wow, that was the shortest article I've ever written, probably because that was the shortest playing time I've ever encountered. Going on and on about it being short actually made it normal size, so what now shorty! Anybody could tell I had no sleep last night. Before this turns into more of a train wreck, I'm going to go.

MondoPlay

A fun website with a bunch of games on it is MondoPlay. My favorite is MondoZoo and another good one is MondoCuisito. Be sure to visit my zoo to help me on my cruise. My username is Zafeyry, and if you come visit my zoo I'll visit yours. Anyway, the creators of MondoPlay are really talented and have made some really great games.

Fast And Furious

Yesterday I cleaned my computer and today MapleStory took only a few seconds to load. Usually it takes around 20 minutes. I also read that you won't be able to make a Dual Blade or Hero from May 26th to June 29th. The article also said there will be big changes to those classes, so I can't wait to see what they are. So today a bunch of people were killing Orange Mushrooms and I asked them why they were doing that and the leader told me it was because he was so pro. Wow, that makes the game look bad. But I've met a bunch of other people that have been nice, so I can deal with one or two trolls.

Harbor Master

Harbor Master is a fun game by Imangi Studios where you drag a line from a boat of the right color and draw a line to a port of the right color. There are a bunch of different levels and some have different obstacles like a sea monster, pirates, and whirlpools.

Cake

Talk about the enemy side. If any Pie Lovers catch me I'll be in trouble. Scene. That was a hard role. Anyway even though I like Pie I'll talk about Cake. The Mini Cake Boss was my target today, and one of the rewards from it is a mini cake that heals 100 HP and MP. Don't worry Pie Lovers because I was technically killing the enemy. This Pie vs. Cake stuff is serious business. For all those Cake fan readers, I know where you live. And that's not just a threat, Blogger keeps track of the viewers' countries.

1 Month Anniversary

Today is this blog's 1 month anniversary. I've been on Blogspot for one month, and it has been very good to me. The website is very helpful and makes blogging easy. Hopefully I will have many more months on Blogger that are good. So anyway, it's my 1 month anniversary!!!

MapleStory Is Back!!!

I thought about what I said yesterday and then I thought what if I did the characters one by one to really experience the classes. Well that is until I get bored with one class, and then I'll move onto the next. I think this will make me enjoy MapleStory more, so I'm all for it. So as of now MapleStory is back.

Free Realms

I couldn't just get rid of MapleStory without a replacement so I think I'll try Free Realms. I have seen some other posts about it and it seems really fun, so I went ahead and made my character. I really wish I had a screenshot of the deer I harassed and the amazing balloon animal. I even found a squirrel! I recorded all of this with the handy video recorder. I saw three species of deer. Species is such a funny word. Speesheez.

End of MapleStory (For Me)

I haven't really been playing MapleStory as much as I have before. This makes blogging about it less fun, so as of now the MapleStory section is sentenced to death by electric chair! Just kidding, I still think MapleStory is a great game but I just don't play it much anymore.

Freerice

Today's random website is Freerice. Freerice is a donation website that's free. For every question answered correctly, the World Food Programme donates 10 grains of rice to people in need. So far, Freerice has donated over 90 billion grains of rice. All you need to do is make a FREE account, find a subject you want to play in, and click to donate. You can even join my Zaffy's World group here! Anyway, Freerice is a great free website and with it you can make a difference. So be sure to make an account soon!

Me Want Bamboo

Me Want Bamboo is a great app by Camigo Media LLC. The game does get boring after scoring 3 million points. The amount of points needed to level up your cub is ridiculous. The game is addictive though, and there is an in game purchase where you can buy more bears. I'm very cheap and the app isn't the best so I won't be buying any extras. But I will finish the game with Baby Bear. Right now I'm on the 3rd star, and I still have an experience counter. Me Want Bamboo is free so be sure to get it!

Consistency

I haven't really been consistent with my posts and I said I'll do it everyday. But I can't do it everyday. So I was thinking I could do one post in each section every two days. Wait, that doesn't add up. Well I guess I'll do the one post per section every two days instead. So be sure to keep reading!

Ducks!!!!!!!

I've recently become obsessed with the game hosting website Kongregate. In particular, I've been playing the DuckLife series. The only one I have left is DuckLife 3. Kongregate has loads of fun achievements and even contests for GameStop merchandise. The site is run by the same company as GameStop, and they do a great job of taking care of it.

SHINY MEDALS!!!!

Thanks so much MapleStory, because I have a chance to get all of my characters a shiny medal. The Jubilation lasts until June 14th, so I have about 3 weeks to get all my characters to Level 13. The Maple Leaves seem like they'll be hard to get, so I think I'll only be able to get cool equipment on one character. At least I still get shiny medals!!!

All Explorers Done

I finally got all of my Explorers to their required job level. Now, there's only Cygnus Knights, Legendaries, and Resistance to get through. This should be fun.......

Tuesday, May 10, 2011

Frisbee

I give myself an A+ in consistency. Anyway, today's app is Frisbee. You have to flick to get the frisbee going, and end up getting it through the final hoop. There are a bunch if different landscapes, like a carnival or a desert. There are also bonus levels in which you have to do the same as normal, except there are loads of obstacles. On top of that, you can buy and unlock new frisbees so you don't have to be stuck with the same frisbee. One of my favorites is the Donut frisbee, but it costs 8,000 star tokens. And if you can't tell, 8,000 is a lot. This is a great and free app, so be sure to get it now.

Doodle Fill

Doodle Fill is a great puzzle game. You have to color in a picture without the same colors touching. There is some controversy about it, because there is an exact replica with different colors called Colour Fill. Whoever made this game is a puzzle genius, and they should get full credit for it.

Downtime

MapleStory is still down, so I downloaded another game by Nexon. I decided to check out Dungeons and Dragons Online. If this game works out, I might even start a new segment on it. So be sure to check my review later on today.

I've Been Gone Too Long

This always keeps happening. I post on the weekend and then Boom. I don't post again. I really need more consistency. These posts in the Main section are really boring, so I'll be back later with fun posts.

Game Plan

Getting each character to their max one at a time would be painful, so I decided to break it up into different sections. Right now, my goal is to get each of my characters to Level 10 or 8. I can't even imagine getting each character through 200 levels one at a time. There would be more headaches than possible. So breaking it up will be best for my health. And sanity.

Waffles

Today I had waffles and used Maple syrup to put on my waffle. This inspired me to play MapleStory. There's this new event with a big long name, well it's not actually that big, and the name is the Jubilation. Ooh there's a shiny medal. For logging in and getting your attendance book stamped 7 times, on 7 days, you'll get the Family Comes First Medal. If you do the same thing, but get your book stamped 14 times, you'll get the Family Loyalty Forever Medal. Don't worry thought, because this event ends June 14th. You can also collect Maple Leaves and trade them in for coins through Cassandra. Then, you can buy SHINY weapons and armor with the coins. Then there's the coming soon section. The ultimate battle is coming, Cake vs. Pie! My vote goes with Pie, because I don't like frosting that much. Then there's an Artifact Hunt with Gaga and something about Summer Chests, but those are way less cool than Pie.

Why Is This Even Up?

The title is about the logo, but this post isn't. I haven't posted in a while, so I'll try and get back into it. So be sure to look for new posts coming soon.

Treasure Story and Others

We all know we have an app that ends in story. The story series is developed by TeamLava. Today I'm focusing on one in particular, Treasure Story. It is a lot like Treasure Isle on Facebook by Zynga. As far as I know, the highest level in this game is 25, so I'll be trying to get there soon. Be sure to check out the story games, plus they're free.

Extended Easter Break

It seems like a took a really long break. But now I'm back, and will hopefully be posting more. But I dont think you want to hear me blab about being busy, so just ignore this and read the rest.

Happy Easter and New Logo

Most of you won't see this until tomorrow, so why not put it up now. I just finished my new Easter logo. It will only be available for tomorrow and the last 2 hours of today. Tomorrow, when the clock strikes midnight, it will disappear. So anyway, Happy Easter! And for those of you who don't celebrate Easter, Happy Spring!

Bowman

Today I started my Bowman character, Temisis. The bow is sort of like a wand. The only problem I can see is spending extra mesos on arrows. I'm a little scared about making my next character, a Thief. Kerning City gives me the creeps. I also have no idea how a Thief hunts. When I start it, I'll be sure to pay attention. That's it for now.

Chop Chop Series

I was going to do this specially on Chop Chop Caveman, but there are loads of chop chop games. There are 9 different Chop Chop games. These games are made by Gamerizon and are simple and fun to play. The levels are challenging and great. I've played these for hours, and I'm still not finished. These games are excellent time wasters, and I suggest you buy them soon. I couldn't find a general picture for the whole series, so I just used the Gamerizon logo. Anyway, Chop Chop games are amazing and cheap, so get them while they're hot!

App Of The Day: Train Conductor

Train Conductor is an amazing app, especially since I got it for Free. I even bought the 2nd one, which cost 99 cents. In Train Conductor you have trains on a certain amount of tracks, and each train has to get to the end of the track they want to go on. Basically if a train starts on Track 4, wants to go to Track 3, and comes from the right side, you have to get it to the Track 3 Entrance/Exit which in this case is an Exit. I just made that way more confusing than it needed to be, so be sure to check out Train Conductor for yourself.

R.I.P. Monkey Quest

Monkey Quest is an insanely easy game. On a scale of 1 to 10 on difficulty I would give it a 1. Everything is mapped out for you and there's almost no difficulty. With everything easy, it's hard to find something to talk about. So This will be the last post about Monkey Quest.

Wednesday, April 20, 2011

New Monkey

With a new blog, I thought I should make a new monkey. My new monkey is Sean Icethief. When I was going through the tutorial, I saw that the vendor had horns. I was going to call it a Unimonk but it had two horns. So, as of now, Poko the vendor is now a Duomonk.

If Monkey Quest ever had pets, a Duomonk would have to be one. All monkeys would be able to ride their Duomonks in the sunset. I think I just made myself cry. Back to Monkey Quest in the now. For the first monster you meet, you tickle it to death. That's not even funny. I think I might be near the end of the Monkey Quest section of my blog.

My New Logo

I have no idea what to call it, but I'm sure tomorrow I'll look at this and think it's stupid as ever. I made a terrible new Grand Opening logo. I just found a word for it! Anyway, the logo's okay except for the scissors. They really screw everything up. And for anybody who can't read the title, it says Zaffy's World. It's almost 11 and I probably sound crazy so before this gets worse, good night.

Forget Introductions

Introductions are always boring and bring a negative feel to a blog. For the rest of my blog, I'm not doing any more introductions. Today, I started playing on my new character, Ontraxa, the Magician. Right now, I'm in the Magician Training Center and when I first went in, I tried hitting the enemies with my wand. I guess I've gotten used to the Warrior style. Right after that, I smarted up and started spending my SP on spells. What I love about MapleStory is how different and unique all of the classes are. The Warrior and Magician couldn't be any more different than they already are. MapleStory is one of the best games I have ever played.

Sky Burger

Once again, Sky Burger by NimbleBit has returned to the top in the Free Games section. Although it might not be #1, this app is amazing. A while ago, it had reached #1, and it's popularity had gone down. Now, it's popularity has skyrocketed. This game takes full advantage of the tilt feature, and that's all you need to do. You're probably wondering where the name Sky Burger came from. You start out with a bottom bun and an order. Your goal is to catch all the falling burger toppings which come from the sky. There are loads of different orders, and they vary in quantity when you are on a higher level. If you catch a top bun before your order is done, you fail and have to start back at the beginning. This app is full of fun, free, and is definitely worth downloading.

How I Came To Know Monkey Quest

I was part of the beta testing for Monkey Quest, so once the game went live I made an account. Right now I'm Level 5, but during the beta I got up to Level 8. I have no idea what the max level is for it, but whatever it is, I want to reach it. I think I lied in my first post. That right there could have won a Razzie. About now I probably have your attention, so I'll just shut up and end this train wreck. Good night and thank you to all of my fans! Without you I would be nothing! Yep, I could definitely make it in Hollywood.

Fresh New Blog

Well, this blog isn't that fresh. Blogger/Blogspot (I don't know what to call it) was one of my first choices to host my blog on. There was an issue, so I started my blog on Weebly. After 17 days of being on there, the issue with Blogspot was gone so this is how I got here. Now with all of that boring stuff out of the way, I'd like to cut the ribbon to my new blog! And be sure that I will never be as boring as I was there ever again.
