100 famous bass lines played in one badass mega-medley

100 famous bass lines played in one badass mega-medley

This guy put together a medley with what he thinks are the 100 bass lines that every bass player should know. I think that a few should be forever banned and some great ones are missing, but most of them are a spot-on selection. In any case, kudos for his nonstop 13-minute performance.

The Simplest Way to Track Your Sleep Yet

"The death of each day’s life, sore labour’s bath, / Balm of hurt minds, great Nature’s second course…" We (Macbeth and I) are talking about sleep, and a lot of us suck at it. But exactly how do we suck at it? Do we toss and turn a lot? Snore? Are we roused by outside noises? Well, the new Misfit Beddit Sleep System promises to answer those questions.

Best iPhone and iPad apps of the week: Kimd, Hellraid, Sonic Jump Fever, and more!

Once again we’ve gathered together the best iPhone apps and best iPad apps and games released this week! We’ll regularly dig up the best, freshest social, music, photography and productivity apps for iOS, not to mention action games, shooter games, puzzle games, and anything in between. Come on and dig in to see our favorite releases over the last seven days!

Magic 2015

The 2015 edition of Magic: Duels of the Planeswalkers launched this week. The biggest addition to this iteration of the classic fantasy card game is that now you can custom build your decks card-for-card. Previously, you would be given a core deck and would unlock additional cards to swap in through gameplay. As usual, players put on their robe and wizard’s hat in the role of an elementally-attuned planeswalker. They duel one-on-one against other interdimensional mages by summoning powerful allies, hurling spells, and wielding ancient artifacts. Five colors of spells represent different elements, each with their own play style and themes. Magic 2015 spans five planes, each with their own series of challenges, and of course online multiplayer. You can sample gameplay for free, and upgrade to the full game for $1.99, with additional purchases available for early access to other planes and getting extra cards.

Magic is a highly polished card game that has stoof the test of time, and its latest version doesn’t disappoint.

Hellraid: The Escape

Hellraid: The Escape is a dark first-person puzzle game. Players have to work their way through the labrynthine underworld to escape an eternity of torment. Mind-bending defenses will confound your jailbreak, and even once you get through a door, there are frightening demons on the loose whose sole purpose in existence is to make sure you don’t go anywhere. Hellraid: The Escape enjoys top-notch graphics, AirPlay support for the big screen, and absolutely zero in-app purchases.

Hellraid is a dark delve that will test your wits.

Beyond Gravity

Beyond Gravity is an imaginative cross between platformer and physics game. Players have to guide a hapless astronaut to survival by leaping between planets in zero gravity and grabbing spare parts for his busted ship without falling into the endless void of space or getting smashed by a stray asteroid. Stages are generated procedurally, so it’s never the same play-through twice. Though things get tricky as you make it longer, there are lots of power-ups available to purchase, but no fast-tracking through in-app purchases.

Beyond Gravity’s colorful cut-out art style is bound to charm most players, and the classic-yet-fresh gameplay provides a solid challenge.

Sonic Jump Fever

Sonic Jump Fever is a straightforward endless jumping game with everyone’s favorite bright blue hedgehog. Players keep leaping up platforms as high as possible, trying to snag rings, bash nasty robots on the way, while also not falling off the edge of the screen. As you play, you earn enough coins for upgrades both practical and cosmetic. Many of the other Sonic heroes are here, such as Tails and Knuckles, plus you’ll find all of the familiar, original sound effects tickling your nostalgia bone. As you might expect, in-app purchases are available for those that want to fast-track their progress with unlockables and power-ups.

Sonic Jump Fever is a fun, fast, and simple title bound to be appreciated by old-school Sega gamers.

The Wolf Among Us

The fifth episode and season finale of The Wolf Among Us was launched this week. It’s made by Telltale, the same folks behind The Walking Dead. The Wolf Among Us puts players in control of Bigby, a sheriff with a temper problem who also happens to be a wolf. The game takes place in Fabletown, and as you might expect, there are plenty of characters that come from some childhood story, but they’re a little moreā€¦ adult than you might remember. These guys have to use magic to disguise themselves and not disturb the citizens of New York, though that’s not always easy. The game’s first episode kicks off with an encounter with the Wolf’s well-known adversary from Little Red Riding Hood, the Woodsman. It’s up to you how you handle every situation, and every decision has lasting effects on the rest of the story.

Be sure to snag the whole season of The Wolf Among Us if you’re in the mood for a dramatic, gritty, and mature game with a strong story.

Syde

Syde is an interesting new social networking app that helps strangers collaborate on making unique pictures. Users post half an image, either on the left or right side. Then others can provide the second half. If you see a joint image you like, you can provide your own alternative Syde and post that. The app is free, but for $0.99, you can remove the Syde watermark, making it ideal for sharing out to other networks. Pictures can be marked as favorites, sent privately, commented on, liked, and you can add friends when you meet someone particularly imaginative. The user interface is very sharp to boot.

If you’re looking for a new twist on your social photo sharing, Syde will definitely provide you with some unexpected surprises.

Kimd

Kimd is a simple but useful camera app built specifically for taking photos or pictures at concerts. The functionality of shooting doesn’t change much, but there’s one thing it aims to fix: reducing brightness of the screen when you’re shooting. This ensures that everyone around you isn’t distracted by your display as you try and get the perfect shot. Images can be bookmarked for easy access later or uploaded directly to Instagram, but the real feature here is a little bit of consideration for your fellow music-lovers.

If you intend on going to a lot of shows this summer, grab Kimd.

give.

Give is a promising new way of making donations to charities. It hosts a full catalog of registered charities, allows users to search for those in their area or addressing particular issues. Categories range arts, education, technology, animals, the environment, health, community, religious, and much more. Give supports tax deductible donations via MasterCard, Visa, or American Express directly through the app once your payment information is punched in. Users can dive into detailed information about each charity, and share them out through e-mail, Twitter, and Facebook when you really want to spread the word. A highly visible featured section will keep you up to date on new and timely causes to support.

If you’ve got just a little too much love to give, this app will certainly help you out.

IMPC pro

IMPC pro is a fantastic new app for those that are serious about making music. There are over 1400 samples to play around with, as well as the ability to record your own samples locally. You can feed in up to 64 tracks, each with their owngain fader, 3-band equalizer, mute, solo, panning and effects applied. You can easily export your final creations, or upload them directly to SoundCloud, Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr.

IMPC pro is a heavy-duty music that is bound to suit the needs of any musician that wants to start cranking out content on their iPad.

Savr

Savr is neat new grocery list app that dynamically pulls in coupons from over 65,000 American stores. These include Target, Kroger, Albertsons, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Walgreens, Winn Dixie, Fresh and Easy, Piggly Wiggly, Fred Meyer, Food 4 Less, Publix, Pavilions, Giant, and Aldi. Deals can pop up for specific things you need to buy, or broad categories, or brands that you prefer. You can pick favorite nearby stores if you like, but Savr will always be on the look-out for other deals in your neighborhood.

Penny pinchers will want to give Savr a shot.

Just Dance Now app revealed, turns your smartphone into a dance game controller

Ubisoft’s highly successful Just Dance dancing game franchise is getting a new and very interesting addition, Just Dance Now. It’s an upcoming smartphone app that basically turns your iOS device into a dance controller for a large screen such as a tablet, PC or an Internet enabled smart TV.

Revealed as part of Ubisoft’s E3 2014 press conference, Just Dance Now is supposed to work with WiFi, 3G and 4G connections. The most interesting thing about the app is that there should be no limit to the amount of players that can join in one Just Dance Now game. Ubisoft said it can even be as high as 20,000 people, all using their smartphones with the Just Dance Now app at once in one big game, located in a stadium or arena.

A release date and specific platforms were not revealed for Just Dance Now, nor was there any mention of a price tag for the app. However, the game was clearly shown as being demonstrated on an iPhone during the press event so it’s most likely to be headed to the App Store first.
