18 Comments The App That Sends me Spiraling into Depression
The Dark Knight found a new game for Siegfried to play on the iPad.
Its called iBlastMoki 2 HD.
That will be my new curse word.
Its really a great game for the 3-year-old. It keeps him quiet for minutes at a time. BUT IT KILLS ME.
Let me tell you why.
I let him play it while Boy takes a nap.
So I can do things.
I can really go after the housework.
Or whatever. You know how it is.
So I’m busy doing my chores…..
Minding my own business.
And suddenly the music hits me.
I can’t stand it.
No, thats a bit of an understatement.
IT KILLS ME!!!
TO DEATH!!!!
It hurls me into the fiery pit of despair where all I see are shadow and flame!
How do I even describe it???
Its like low-budget, nature-documentary, end-credits music.
I can even see the screen. Its an ugly landscape and the colors are all off.
And there’s probably a duck and there’s definitely a lens flare.
Or maybe it just turns out to be a bad commercial for a local craft barn where they show low-quality pictures of antiques and slap this music on, thinking it makes them look sophisticated.
Whatever it is, it is death to my soul.
And Siegfried is oblivious.
Until he starts losing.
And then he hates it too.
And he turns it off.
And resorts to Angry Birds.


















My mom gave my daughter a little cash register and when you push the buttons it beeps and it’s so cute until your toddler holds down the buttons for minutes straight and you want to hurl it through a window and yourself after it…
I love the scene where you die and only have 4 teeth. Genius!
I hope to have at least 4 teeth when I die. And who knows with all the windows I will end up hurling myself out of.
Lately my boys have been playing LEGO Indiana Jones, and wow, I never thought I’d tire of the Raiders of the Lost Ark score, but here I am, at work, humming “da-da-da-daaa-da-da-daaaa-da-da-da-daaaa-da-da-daaa-daaa-daaa!”
Video game music is like a disease. You catch it and cant get rid of it and then you take it to work and it spreads!
Especially when I sing it at work while whipping people.
One of my girls has fallen in love with Pokemon something-or-other, and the other one “plays” Zelda.
They somehow manage to tie for the most annoying games ever. Pokemon wins hands down for the stupid music, and Zelda for the fact that “Mommy, can I PLEASE play Zelda?” really means “Mommy, can you please drop whatever it you’re involved in right now and sit beside me while I march this guy around so that you can read/fight anything that comes up? Oh, also? Don’t touch the game unless I explicitly order you to, or all hell will break loose.”
I kind of hate video games unless I’m the one playing.
I totally agree with you. Although I can’t even play this blasted game without wanting to jump off the bleachers. There is a bowling app that has the same effect on me. Its bizarre….
The number one thing my daughter hears while playing on the iPhone/iPad…”turn off the music”. I can’t stand ANY of the music. I have gotten really good at finding a way to turn it off and have taught her to as well.
Hey I started a site too, it’s not as good as yours, but I’d love you to check it out….just started though, so don’t judge too harshly, please.

Oh its pretty!!!!!
OH MY GOSH CANDY CORN CUPCAKES!!!!!
Oh that’s funny (except for the part where it kills your ears).
My dad once told me that when we were kids, he used to have nightmares about the theme song from Super Mario Brothers, which my sister and I played every day for about 6 months straight.
I can still sing that music! Even the underworld music! It stays with you forever…..
Hahaha, I could be cryogenically frozen for 1,000 years, be woken up, introduced to a new and alien society, learn its ins and outs, live another 500 years, and if someone then came up to me and asked me to sing the Super Mario Bros invincibility music…
Doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-do-do-do doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-do-do-do…
Of course I had to YouTube to hear the music myself…enough to make you want to poke out your own ear drums. Thank goodness technology created mute features.
You’d think I’d take advantage of that!
Hahahaha! Yep been there, but not for many years. Also i love the scene of you eating BonBons and being carried around by all the Matrixy Keanu Reeves. If i were being carried around thats totally who I would pick to do it. Of course maybe thats not who you had in mind when you drew them. Maybe theyre the other guy….whatsisname.
Totally the Matrix!!! I was thinking of Mr. Smith but I’m sure Neo would be much more pleasant.
Oh man, I can totally sympathize with you. In our house it’s usually Lego Star Wars. I can honestly say I’ve NEVER listened to so much Star Wars music in my LIFE. EVER. John Williams is a very talented composer, but there are limits!
There are totally limits. After a while it burns into your brain and you start associating Harrison Ford with….menial chores.
