Karine's haiku practice 10/28

Am I getting old?
I can't help myself but think...
Old style is better.


I don't know why, but I just keep listening to 80's and 90's English songs recently. There's an unexplained inner drive. Although I do think some of Lady Gaga's songs are incredible, I still feel songs like 'Everything I do, I do it for you' or 'Making love out of nothing at all' are much easier to my ear...  
Okay, I AM getting old. I admit it!   ha ha  XDDDD

Karine's current favorite ipad game: RoomBreak: Escape NOW!!!


    RoomBreak: Escape Now!!! This game app developed by Gameday Inc. is my favorite ipad game so far. Why I enjoy this game so much? There are three major reasons.
    First, RoomBreak has a story for each of it's episode. Every episode has it's own introducing and ending animation. However, players will never know what really happen in the end unless they manage to escape from the 5 rooms of each episode. The underlying stories turn players as the main character in the game in stead of just being outsiders, thus significantly increasing the fun of the game.
    Second, RoomBreak has great features, including beautiful graphics, odd dialogue, and suspenseful background music. All these features create awesome atmosphere for the game.
    Finally, complex strategies are required to solve the puzzles of the game. Different tools or objects are required in different rooms. Players not only have to search for them, but also have to brainstorm for how to use them. Sometimes different objects need to be mixed  to create a new object, and sometimes an object has to be divided into different parts. Furthermore, players are required to resolve a certain amount of puzzles to get hints for opening the doors. The difficulty of the puzzles increase when the game toward its end, providing great challenges to players.
    If you have no idea of what to play with your ipad, RoomBreak is recommended as a must try. In addition, there's a super advantage that I haven't mentioned... It is FREE!
