The Apple Remote is certainly easier to just pick up and use than using than any remote app, so it can be handy to have it close by for quickly navigating Plex and Hulu Desktop on a whim. HippoRemote also has much smoother mouse tracking than Mobile Mouse. ![]() HippoRemote works with Plex, Hulu Desktop, and just about everything else, and it even works with the Netflix player. Plex Mobile only works with Plex, Mobile Mouse works with most things except Plex. HippoRemote is a remote control app with better integration with various media players than Mobile Mouse (formerly Air Mouse) and Plex Mobile. Best of all, you can launch Hulu Desktop directly from Plex. Hulu Desktop is a remote-control-friendly app for browsing and watching Hulu videos. You can add your iTunes Media folders to Plex to access your iTunes songs and videos, however neither Plex nor XBMC can play DRM videos purchased from iTunes. Plex Mobile can also be used as a remote control for Plex. On your iOS devices, you can install Plex Mobile to stream your mini's media to the device. If you want to stream to additional Macs or PCs, you can install just the Media Center on those. On your mini you install both the Plex Media Server and Plex Media Center apps. I find Plex to be much easier to set up than XBMC, but where I think Plex really shines is in how easy it is to share your mini's media with other devices. Use Plex as your remote-control-friendly home theatre hub. I would recommend the following setup (which is what I currently use): Plex

![]() The survival elements that are boasted do in fact also reach the par the developer was aiming for. While far from perfect, Tormented Souls does just this, handing me but a relatively weak nail gun and a spare vial of morphine, then sending me on my way. In the AAA dominating age, so many games are focused more on leading the player where to go, rather than trusting their game and map design more. It’s instead worth celebrating the fact that this is a game that set out to do exactly what it aimed to do – provide an experience that the horror genre is currently sorely missing. It’s easy and almost unfair to dwell forever on the problems a debut from a studio has. I think this is what got me through the duration of Tormented Souls. While somewhat present, why can’t you have more of that, Resident Evil Village? It’s up to you to unravel the secrets, seeing how areas intertwine and how best to proceed, while keeping an eye out around every corner just out of sight from the fixed camera perspective. Instead, a puzzle lies ahead of you in the form of a gigantic mansion. Definitely leaning more towards the original Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Alone in the Dark series, it’s hardly a railroaded experience. What I’m talking about here is just how out of their depth Caroline Walker is as a character in this hellscape. That’s not to say it’s that scary of a game jump scares are scarce. I think the thing that Tormented Souls has most going in its favour is the provided atmosphere. Providing a surprisingly substantial atmosphere Admittedly, it’s something I’ve selfishly been missing in more recent horror games. With that being said, there is something just so comforting and engaging in sitting back and viewing some cheesy PS1 era horror dialogue. That’s not something to blame the developer, Dual Effect Games, for too much – this is their first game. These characters are as bland as they come. A majority of the exchanges you’ll experience are between Caroline and a priest that just can’t help but continuously show up at inopportune times. Unfortunately, the characters and voice performances do leave plenty to be desired. I may have made my way through the game’s duration at least once, but I could not muster the motivation to explore the alternate endings on offer. Not quite the typical zombies but far from reinventing the wheel. The enemies you’ll face across the mansion’s halls, dingy attics and basements are but mutilated human experiments, largely with the torso up being all that remains. Perhaps that’s another thing in Tormented Souls’ favour – even the story is eerily reminiscent of early horror games. As you make your way through the mansion, slowly uncovering the horrors within, I couldn’t help but feel I’ve played this story through before. I’ll set expectations right away – don’t expect a very momentous or memorable horror story. With awful monstrosities in the hall right outside, it’s up to her and her alone to find out what’s going and make it out alive. Getting knocked out from who knows what, Caroline awakens naked in a bathtub, missing an eye. Her search to find both the sender and the subject of the photos takes her to an eerie mansion. Tormented Souls throws players into the role of Caroline Walker, an individual that receives a mysterious photo of twins in the post. After rolling credits, it’s clear it does well in recapturing a majority of those early quirks, even if the price of admission includes all the not-so-good stuff as well. Tormented Souls is the latest example of this, boasting heavy survival elements. Naturally, there’s been a number of games inspired by the original magic this horror entry created over the years. It’s been 25 years since the original Resident Evil was released. ![]() Finch went on to be named All-Pac-10 Honorable Mention, Pac-10 All-Academic First-Team, NSCAA Scholar All-West Region and First-Team Academic All-District VIII.

Jam is also a thickened fruit spread, but in US usage, jam is made from crushed whole fruit, and jelly is made from fruit juice. With our oldest recovering from scoliosis surgery this is especially important.

We’re love sneaking in grass fed gelatin into our diets, when its too warm to be drinking bone broth. “The very essence of romance is uncertainty.”― Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Playsġ9. “Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.”― Oscar Wildeġ8. “The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Grayġ7. “Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.”― Oscar Wilde, Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime and Other Storiesġ6. “A good friend will always stab you in the front.”― Oscar Wildeġ5.

Irish author, playwright, and poet Oscar Wilde was a popular literary figure in late Victorian England and a spokesman for the late 19th-century Aesthetic movement that advocated art for art’s sake. ![]() Let me put this in perspective in a different kind of way: You know when you finish a triple-A game, the credits begin rolling, and you sit patiently, allowing the blurry list of names to zip by only to see if there is any additional content afterwards? Then, 5 minutes of names turns into 10 minutes, and you give up and go to the fridge? (I just finished “Bulletstorm,” and I think I actually napped while the credits rolled-but the “What? You mean to tell me not only did this title survive, but it is actually a game made by a little known Russian developer being released on the Xbox? This can’t be right.”Īnd yet, here it is, appearing out of nowhere and released in 2010 without a peep for something like $29.99 new. A scant article published by no one in particular popped up: “The Swarm changes names to MorphX-will release for the Xbox this year.” I blink. Then, flipping through an issue of Game Informer several months back, I see on the release calendar a game called “MorphX.” I mutter, “What is this dumbness?” and Google it. Another game to scribble down in my “Will It Ever Happen?” notebook and forget about. (About halfway through, some of those dynamics change, and the humans inexplicably befriend you, and your reticle is squarely focused on just the alien scourge from that point onward.) Suffice to say, that was the whole narrative. In the game, the protagonist you play is infected with alien DNA and is simply trying to reach a hospital for medical attention (there are very few hospitals remaining at this point in time.) As you make your journey through the requisite city streets, subways, sewer tunnels, and warehouses, you slowly transform into an alien-human hybrid with enhanced powers, fighting off aliens who target you and also humans who mistake you as an alien. (Well, that and it was a Russian baby, which means I’d have to blog about it.) Apparently in “The Swarm” (it’s God-given name at that point in time), the world was overrun with Xenomorph aliens, and the game chronicled humans’ final stand in Moscow-all of this occurring 4 or 5 years after the initial invasion (so everything is pretty well apocalypt-o-sized). (The game may or may not have actually been released in 2008 for PC in eastern Europe, but confirming that is tricky.) The entire affair was sci-fi clichéd enough to pique interest. Years ago, and I saw a tiny bit of a cutscene and a tinier bit of gameplay. The only reason I raise this issue: Like about 15 other people, I stumbled upon this game somewhere 2 or 3 Having said all that, the humble “MorphX” was not one of those games. Eh, I could have much more deleterious (and expensive) hobbies, I guess. Strange stuff.) Anyway, the games I dedicate myself to, I seriously ponder them before playing and then hang onto forever afterwards (for who knows what damn reason-I never replay anything). Do a bit of Google research, and you will be quite surprised by how few people actually finish the games they begin. ![]() And on this note, have you ever actually examined the completion rates of games? Marketing folks actually keep track of these things. (Or, as I suspect in most cases, not beating it. I am not one of those kiddies who buys “Dead Space 2” on Tuesday, and by Wednesday afternoon is listing it on Amazon Marketplace after beating it. ![]() It’s a silly sort of ritual that puts my game-playing way behind schedule, and it is probably a behavior that is connected to the fact that I keep a copy of every game I’ve played. Is the work schedule too tight at the moment? Am I properly focused? Are life distractions at a minimum? Is the light level right? Whatever. ![]() I’ll get them, and they’ll sit on my shelf for upwards of a year, as I wait for just the right moment/mindset/circumstance to be able to fully dedicate myself to them. There are some games I have to creep up on, especially those I’ve anticipated for a long time. Even though you now sound like an unpopular Marvel Comics superhero whose power is to activate-into-something-or-other-that-no-one-remembers, in my heart you will always be “The Swarm.” Oh “MorphX,” I knew ye and dreamed of ye before your publisher forced that stupid twelfth-hour name change on you. Without a doubt, “MorphX” (Xbox/PC, 2008-10, Russia) is the poster child for bottom-shelf, guilty pleasure gaming.
