too desperate for imaginary points you couldn't wait more than 2 days?

HL3 will be released. It will disrupt the Internet itself.

Agreed... And maybe my marriage as well ;)

Ohhh man this is hilarious! I used to say Milliard (minus the d) when I was a child to over exaggerate a number :D. I'm actually laughing right now because I used to think I made up that word.

may I ask why? It looks like an attempt to clone QuizUp that went wrong (sorry). Was it a personal challenge?

Hi! One of my first real apps I ever developed for Android (back in 2011) was an online trivia game very similar to the trivia games you see nowadays (asynchronous gameplay, 4 options per questions, 5 questions per turn, etc).

When I look back to it, it was very weak at the technical level. I developed the Android client and the API while learning stuff at the same time. So, 4 years go by, and I decided to have another shot at it. So, in a sense, you're right, it did start off as a personal challenge to see just how much different the end product would be, given that I've now been working full time on Android for the past 4 years.

But other than that, it's actually quite different than QuizUp since this game is real-time and seems to have steered heavily away from what a normal trivia game is like. With their latest releases, they've sort of created a sort of massive social network around the questions/answers genre.

I wanted to make an app that went back to the basics. Something you can use here and there while killing time..open the app, have fun answering a few questions, and done.

very cool man. I wish you the best of luck :).

thanks!

the title is hilarious. It got you traffic, good for you. The article itself is nothing but a bag of SEO? words.

What words would it possibly be trying to rank for? Stop being a hater.

Not OP, but the title seems to imply the author hacked LinkedIn and got 120k out of it. Whereas the author simply figured out how specific he could use LinkedIn's ad targeting to impress someone who was giving out 120k.

Title is definitely a bit misleading, but at the end of the day, you gotta do what you gotta do to get the clicks.

Correct, but even YC classifies that as a hack. If you have ever checked out the YC Application they ask of a time where you have hacked an existing system to make it work in your favor. If this doesn't qualify as a hack then I don't know what does.

Amen :-).

hur dur. I'm gonna use this thing that I know it's not for me and I'm gonna cry about it anyway.

Different things behave differently (shocker). You're not gonna like Y after using and getting used to X for god knows how many years.

very cool, thank you. Are there any other websites like yours?

Any other indie game marketplaces? Yeah there are a few: GOG, Indie Game Stand, Humble Bundle.

Other sites that release data like that, not sure.

awesome, thanks.

What will Unity do now? Both Corona and Unreal Engine are now free without any limitations.

Do you know how to pre-order? Whenever I press shop I get directed to a password protected page.

You're not too cynical! I'm in the same thinking boat. The first thing that that I thought about is either they don't want to do it anymore or the adoption rate was not what they expected.

They made it perfectly clear that it will not be open source and it will cost money. I don't think they need 10 weeks to understand the benefits of open source.
