America’s favorite drinking holiday is just around the corner, and Appy Entertainment is offering our best-selling FaceFighter iPhone game for free in the interest of maintaining public order.

One Girl, One Laptop!

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

Trucks & Skulls has been out for about a week. It’s elbowed to the top of the iPad sale charts and reviewers everywhere are breaking out their manly lexicon to describe the game, with plenty of references to testosterone, heavy metal music, and mullets. But did you know that one of the evil geniuses behind [...]

Cleaning Up

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Yesterday we noted that an Apple feature for FaceFighter Gold was a fine way to end the week, but today we might have topped even that lofty honor. We clean our Secret Worldwide Headquarters once a month whether it needs it or not. We break out the cleaning supplies and go top to bottom in [...]

Long-time readers of Appy Place will remember the delight with which we received an unsolicited sculpture of our beloved Appy mascot from local sculptor Leo Romero.

Spooky Season

It’s getting spooky around the Secret Worldwide Headquarters of Appy Entertainment. The downstairs pub is suitably creepy, in honor of the Halloween season.

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

(Today we continue Sargie’s rampage through the U.K. with marvelous conversational profanity and the unforgettably hideous “chili-con-carne” story) As we had arrived unannounced for Christmas supplies and presents now had to be procured so off we rode into the nearest large town to do some shopping. My experience that day could be summed up by [...]

Trans-Europa Excess: Part Ein

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

(Sarge has returned from London but he regales us with tales of his European adventure in the following post … all aboard for speed camera anarchy, train vomit, and eccentric Texans below). After an incredibly short flight of just under nine hours (gotta love those global warming endorsed tail winds, eh?) during which Jack slept [...]
