Asteroids on the iPhone

I will admit that I'm writing this tired, at the end of a long weekend. But if Coach Harbaugh's boys can work hard enough to whoop up on Michigan State, then I think I can gut out one more task before this weekend comes to an end and I am resolved back to the machinations of the real world.
Asteroids. On the iPhone. I haven't gotten a rating system specified technically quite yet. However, if I had, this would not make it to mediocrity. I think it's probably an early attempt by someone that will hopefully come back around for more.
With that said, the game is essentially an early alpha of someone's Gunjack knock off. Without an advancing difficulty tedium comes quickly. What amounts to a background with cheesy asteroids coming at you from something like 8 possible locations, is quickly boring. You gut it out for the first few rounds as you compete with everyone in the house, and there is that short lived excitement. But, in the end, it's about who has the strongest neck. Youth, wins the day typically but this reviewer showed them all up in the end.
Good try guys. Keep it up. Get me an updated version when it comes around. But, unfortunately, at this point it's closer to the bottom than the top of the list.
Next week I think I'm doing something with soccer. Have fun, work hard, make money Everyone.

So I read a great article today linked Bluesnews! Still going after all these years. Props man, and good luck with the health thing.

Anyway, the article: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/10/20/lethal-vr-blasts-its-way-onto-playstation-vr/

Good article. The game is Lethal VR. It's coming to Playstation VR.

Again, anyway, the point...I love the fact that the next major problem for the vendors is better sweat management! YES. I want to work out in VR. Games like this one and the Medieval Battle Simulator I saw last month are going to need it. After 15 minutes you have broken a sweat. It's a fact. I LOVE it. But do something about this problem! At the very least we need sweat wicking material on the headband guys. At LEAST.
