New Desire + Spare Time = Angry Wife

Hi all at XDA!
Okay so I'm sure the title says it all but for those that haven't got it, basically I've just purchased a new HTC Desire and now I'm beginning to have a little more spare time, the question is, what do I do with it?
Has anyone got a particular rom they would like to put forward for me to use, anything they particulary like to do on thier Desire?
Anything really would be nice.
Thanks in advance!

Angry birds might be a good start mate however this comes with a warning let the missus see it and you risk losing your desire and saturday night legover lol

Angry birds, Fruit Ninja etc for basic popular games.
If you want to try out flashing have a look at CM6 or Oxygen (froyo build), both are pretty much rock solid. 2.3 builds will see some big improvement over the next couple of weeks and will be pretty set to go after that.
And yeah, wife isn't nearly impressed with the desire as I am

[email protected] wife. since Ive bought my Desire Ive not only alienated my gf Ive become a FLASHAHOLIC jumping from one custom rom to another. Its a dangerous phone!!

my gf was not that happy with the desire
but its a very nice phone

lol same here

Lol i think we need an angry wives app not just angry birds

2 player game?

Hey guys I've searched with no luck, but I'm looking for a game that is 2 player but not on same device. For instance both my wife and I have android phones I was looking for something that could react if both phones are connected to it to play. Like maybe ping pong or puzzle game? Sorry if its not clear can't figure out how to explain it any better.

try looking up Gameloft games.. I just downloaded Modern Combat 2.. and it has multiplayer option that you can open a free account for and play diffrent games online or thru wifi.. and they have a bunch of games to pick from as well..

Word fuedand connect 4 are both multiplayer.

Wordfued man, great game, similar to scrabble. There are several cestos is another good one.

What the Doodle is an amazingly addicting game, and you can play with two players if you both join the same game.

like others said, pick up WordFued. There's a free version that is ad supported and a pay for version that's ad free and like $3.50 (I got a few days ago for $1.50 on the market).
It's scrabble but the board is a little different in the standard game. Also an option to randomize the board but from experience I high suggest against it. Making 300+ point words is overkill and can ruin the game in a turn.
There are other multiplayer games out there as well such as connect4. I've seen a battleship remake that was multiplayer with friends.

all great ideas, not sure though of what im looking for , lets say your playing ping pong and not really through multiplayer like you would on normal games, but between 2 phones , one person has a paddle and the other person the other paddle you swing your paddle and hit the ball and it leaves yoru screen and goes to the other phone.
Does that make sense if not then i have no other way of figuring out how to say it lol

I know what your saying, I've never seen anything similar.
try android.market.com its easier to search through than it is on the phone. Google it as well.

I hear that Words with Friends and Tap Tap Revenge are coming to android sometime in the spring. Those I am positive will have 2 player.

mmm, also comes to mind there are a few air hockey games.
I have GlowHockey, but it's not online multiplayer yet, although it is coming in a future update I believe.

Android game(Zenonia)

This is a really amazing game series. If you like playing adventure games like zelda etc. You'll love this game. It has a good story line and it's very addicting, but it takes time to beat them though, which is the fun part. I recommend playing from part one first so u get the whole story.! and yes, i've beaten all of them.
Find it on the market. It's called Zenonia by Gamevil.

Any good RPG's?

I've been playing GBA RPGs for a while on this phone and am looking for some good Android-native RPGs. I was looking at the Final Fantasy ones but I am not paying $7-16 for games I already have on my DS. Any suggestions? Free preferable. I already have Battleheart.

The Zenioa series might be a good one for you

Lol, I know how to search RPG on Google Play. I obviously want people's opinions on what they like to play. Why does EVERYTHING on this forum have to be Google it or search the play store.

LOL I know! Seems like its everyone deems someone that asks a noob or lazy...
I've been looking for this too! Tried Zenonia, its kool but the 3rd and 4th are pay to play, in game unlockable for cash :/ why is it becoming a tendency?
One thing I've been searching is for a good tactical RPG like Ogre Battle or Final Fantasy Tactics, the closest thing I've found is Spectral Souls and it's $14.99 Reason I haven't bought it yet, thanks to the new 15min limit rebate, I won't know if it's really that good to keep or if I don't run into problems during the download of the extra 1.5GB of data
A good hack/slash RPG is Caligo Chaser, it's $2.99 but worth it. Good controls and decent continuous story line, played it non stop for days.
Another one is Across Age DX, it's a free trial and unlock once you finish the intro phase. The developers compare it to Zelda, but for me it's more like Wild Arms 1 gameplay. They are very similar, tools and co-op with party members. The story seems good so far and the dialog is well put together too. Haven't unlocked it yet, but I will once I clear out some minor debt...
How's Battleheart working for you? Just saw the vid and it seems really good, somewhat a rip off the old FF jobs though :/ Noticed what seemed like Paladin, monk, white mage, dark mage, etc -___-
Edit - I haven't installed any EMUs yet due to onscreen controls being uncomfortable for me, huge hands... I'm considering getting the PS3 control adapter for the phone and use that. forgot what it was and didn't bookmark the site *facepalm*

Kemco makes several that are pretty cheap ($3~4 last I checked). Eve of Genesis and Symphony of Eternity just to name two of them. Gamevil makes one or two. I have Illusia from them. Also downloaded Inotia3 (which is free) a couple of days ago, but I really haven't touched any of them with the exception of Symphony of Eternity.
Like you I've eyed the Final Fantasy games, but I'm not paying that much. Spectral Souls has been on my list too, but again... Not paying $15 for it.
Problem with the free ones is that they're free to play, but to get anything worth getting you have to pay for it... as you know from Zenonia.

The problem with the 15 min is you can't really judge an RPG in 15 min!!! It takes way longer, especially if they have intros/tutorials.
I haven't played Battleheart in a while but I like it......didn't really have a story though. Maybe I did and missed it.
As far as EMUs I haven't been able to gague my phone's battery life at all because I spend almost an hour a day playing Pokemon LeafGreen lmao. My coworkers think I'm nuts now. I paid the $4.99 for VGBA and I have to say it was worth every dime. Especially since I figured out how to transfer my files to the PC and trade with other EMU saves......after I finish up with Pokemon I'm probably going to play Golden Sun which I never got around to but heard is great.

Never was into Pokemon... Now Golden Sun for GBA, that I played (during my breaks from my old job lol) and still have both cartridges Golden Sun and Golden Sun Lost Age. The game has an awesome storyline and plot, the battle system is good and the Dijnns (summons) are a nice.

I'm just going to get a flash cart for my DS. Is only $20. I was thinking about buying a PSP too but I'm stick with my DS. If you can pick up a DS Lite for cheap (40-60) and a flash cart for $20 that might be a good investment......
Also, I haven't checked out any of the games suggested but am going to do that this weekend.

I've been considering the DS and flash cart, it's dead cheap. But my better half is most likely going to get the 3DS and it can use the flash card too, but not for 3D games, yet that is.
Was goin for the psp cause of some of the RPGs and FF tactics, though there's the DS one... Idk, now you got me undecided lmao

I'd get the SuperCard DSTWO for the 3DS. It's like $40 depending on where you get it from. There are cheaper ones but from what I know this is the only one that is constantly working as the 3DS firmware upgrades come in.
AND get the PSP lol. The PSP is worth it just for being able to play Final Fantasy 7-9 in my opinion.

Thanks, I'll have that in mind for when they get the 3DS.
As for me, spoke with a friend and he might be able to build a PSP from parts he has lying around, he repair them on the side. I settled on the psp

Lucky you. I had a PSP a while ago that I had modded but I wound up selling it because I didn't really use it at the time. I wish I had kept it. From looking on EBay/Craigslist I think people are wayyyy overpricing their 3000's.

you don't really need an adapter to use ps3 or wii controllers. They both use Bluetooth and their are neat apps for connecting them, remapping buttons ect....

[Q] probably the stupidest question ever....

a guy at sprint told me that the note 2 can play pc games... can anyone verify this? Or is he just trying to sell me a phone?

I don't think so... instruction set is different plus then you have the hardware that the game is expecting... maybe console games via emulator.

not possible. Different OSs, and thus different engines. If ported or some kind of streaming to the phone from the PC, maybe.
Of course he was trying to sell you a phone. Unfortunately, the sales person was just an idiot. I would assume that person falls for every chain letter, email, and post.
To be nice, the person may have met PC like games. Some games are getting towards the mark of console and PC games

I hate when salesman talk crap. They have no clue what they talking about.
about 2 years ago they said to me that symbian phones are not classified as smartphones.(in 2010 symbian was still big) So he tried to sell me samsung with BADA instead . lol.
back to the topic
DOSBOX Turbo, emulator . allows you to play pc games.

well long story short though.... I LOVE THIS PHONE!! . Yes the guy lied his @ss off but only having this phone for less than a day and i love it more than my LTE ive had for the last 3 months. Its also going to bring a lot of "opportunities" and "special" things for you all once I get everything setup!

Maybe he was talking about OnLive?

But this would work with most android phones.

you can also vnc to a windows machine. it would be terrible but it would work

Well, OnLive is more dependant on which Android version you have and the bandwidth you're getting. Android 2.2 or later for games that have touch inputs added. Android 3.1 or 4+ to use a controller for games that have gamepad support.
I've been using OnLive about a month after it went public. I have used it on Android with their universal controller. I tried it on the GN2. Worked good when I had the bandwidth, which was over my WiFI. The LFE around here has horrible upload speeds, and I think it caused it to crap out.
On a side note, the games on OnLive are the PC versions.
