Unheard-of Ultimates: Sunkist Speedway

While I'm at it, I thought I could write another post. So, without further adieu...

When the games are "gone forever"...
When their heyday was years ago...
When no one knows or cares about them...

Someone picks them up.
And that man is Plaustrum20!

Today I thought I'd go over the iTunes game Sunkist Speedway. This game has no more than four thousand players currently, and I thought I'd give it a shout-out today.

Sunkist Speedway is a basic racing game. Along the way, drivers pick up fuel (and invincibility stickers) and avoid obstacles. If a car runs out of fuel or armor, the game is over. There are five levels of difficulty , and I'm in the top ten list on all of them. It's not mind-blowing, especially considering that there aren't any more than fifty people in the top difficulty (an elite class if I do say so myself), but it's still something that I can say I'm top-of-the-world at.

Also consistently at the top of the chart are such players as _Romu_, Dr. Niles, and Ryan the Rocket. I figured I might as well give them a shout-out as a friendly rival.

Anyways, it's an amazing free game for the iPad, and I would recommend checking it out.

Save Stampy!

So the purpose of the post today is to save the career of a YouTube gamer. Stampylonghead is a Minecraft guy with over half a million subscribers, but today, YouTube shut down his channel due to "copyright infringement" and/or "violations of our Community Guidelines." He is just about the most inoffensive character on YouTube, so the description doesn't seem right. Anyway, there's a petition going up to try to return Stampy to his rightful place on the throne. The link for the explanation is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epjMu9DgO18&feature=c4-overview&list=UUa6Hg8HmooiDNaCT0_1NbQQ. Please go. Stampy is counting on all of us.
