Anyone want to jailbreak their iPhone 2/3G (2nd gen on 2.2 firmware)?
Posted by st1k Jan. 15, 2009 @ 10:02 PM ESTGot an iPod / iPhone 3G for christmas?
If you did, you probably have been on youtube.com looking up all the coolest apps and assortments of tricks you can do with your iPod. You probably have also came across hacked iPods and wished you could do it with yours. Come to find out you have a 2nd gen iPod / iPhone and non of the software works with your iPod / Phone. THANKFULLY after lots of research st1k has gathered the proper files and has them avaliable.
Well, I have the files available for free, as well as a simple tutorial!
Hope you guys enjoy,
St1k
I began this year with one of my best flashes ever, and a very big popularity boost.

Sprite TV 2 did exceptionally well and ended up being great! I really had some fun working with those guys.

Then came a very hard game by ssjskipp and I, HexStar. I feel like this game is overlooked a little. If you actually take the time to learn how to play it is pretty addictive and can be a great time waster. I guess it was just WAY to hard for the general audience of Newgrounds.

April rolled around and DrawIT came out well for us, but after finishing it, I still felt it lacked what it should have had. Should we release a 2nd?

A few days later, I released another game from ssjskipp and I called Twist 2 which was a re-make on my original game Twist that did very well in the portal. Sadly, Twist 2 got the exact same score the first one did. I guess because of the challenging factor once again?

June was a fun month, I got to work with a friend of mine finally (coolio-niato) and we released a fun mind game called - Mind Impulse -. The score was phenomenal and we even got it put on yahoo games over at yahoo.com. I felt good that month :]

Over in July I released The Baby :3 which was a 1 hour short I made for animation practice battling Kyle Thomson, my fellow game designer, it wasn't very important at all. Besides the fact ive been 5ing it for the past 5 months to get its score to what it is >.<

I also put out one of my most famous games, Box Dodge Fury. Its simple and slick design let it spread far and wide. Someone even made a YouTube video of it, which made me happy inside, and it's on quite a few websites. Kyle and I finally started working together again and found out, simple and quick games, may be more effective than games that we spend forever on.

This game has to be the biggest let down of my year. I worked long and hard on this HUGE beat game. It has an animated story mode and really REALLY fun game play if you learn it. I guess it was just TO difficult for some people. But, I definitely recommend you go give it a try.
In the last few months of the year, I think ive been getting much better at design and layout setup, as well as transition effects and making the user's happy. Here are a few of my later submissions which I feel I have learned a lot off of.

Well, its December now and I have only released 3 more flashes. My best ever which was The iPhone Shuffle, which some people love and others hate. I gained tons of fans from it, and about 4 people put it on YouTube. I EVEN GOT IN THE TOP 50, NUMBER 1 FOR A DAY :D, that really made my year worth it. Thanks Guys!

After it, I released my other 2 games, both being puzzle/logic games. Mind Cards was FINALLY released (even though we started it about 8 months ago and just never felt like finishing it) and it did super well from what I thought. We then submitted our last game, Grid81. This game did terrible for my expectations. I don't understand what people don't get about it, but I guess I know now, those games aren't for you guys :P
Thanks for the great year NG08!

Wow! Just wow, im so glad you guys enjoyed me and TomaMoto's flash spoof on The iPhone Shuffle. I know you guys have been saying that we stold the idea from the youtube video, but let me explain to you guys where the idea came from. Me and 2 of my buddies were walking through target and we happened to be walking past the electronics section when a buddy of mine started making a joke about if apple released a product called the iPhone Shuffle. Well, me and my friend laughed so hard I decided it would be funny if I made it into a flash video, and who better to do the voice than TomaMoto. Anyways, I contacted him about it and he liked the idea as well, so we began work on it. I didn't even know the spoof existed until angry newgrounds members accused me of stealing it.
Anyways, on a better note, I just want to say thanks for my nifty awards and go favorite it!
:D
