Ipad Time Wasters: Kitty Powers’ Matchmaker
Kitty Powers’ Matchmaker
Genre: Dating / Stimulation
Summary: You work at a dating agency and you goal is to find love connections for your clients.
Thoughts:
Here are the bad ones first: I think the graphics could be better. It’s not the worst that I have seen but definitely not great. Some parts of the game got a bit tedious especially if you ended up picking the same restaurant multiple times. The good part is that I thought the game was hilarious. I got several good chuckles from the situations that the characters were involved in and the game developers were really creative when it came to character names and hobbies. The mini games were challenging enough and in some cases, you could cheat if you wanted too. I don’t mind being a cheater so that worked for me. Below, there is a small guide for some tips & hints on how to play and do well.
Recommend:
I would recommend this especially if you are just looking for a relaxing casual game.
Kitty Powers’ Matchmaker Tips:
- Pay attention to how the character’s appearance and their attire. This is a clue on what type of personality they are. You have, for example, geeky, sporty, hippie, edgy and etc.
- Astrological signs are not that important. It helps but it’s not important to make a relationship work.
- You need two or more personality traits to match up in order for the characters to want to start a relationship. (This is the 3rd tab on the profile)
- 3 star rated characters do not like going to 1 start restaurants. VIP characters are even more picky. The date will give you a strike for this.
- Your date will give you a strike if you take them to the same restaurant twice.
- You can only talk about most topics one time with the exception of interests. You can talk about that up to 3 times with the same date. Do not pick the same interests each time though.
- You get bonus points if both characters have matching professions or matching hobbies / likes.
- If the character gets their heart broke three times, they will leave the agency.
- If their date reaches 3 strikes during dinner, the date will walk out of the restaurant.
- Every time, you unlock a restaurant; you are also unlocking new mini games.
- If you know your date is an extrovert, you don’t have to worry about passing the farting mini game. An extrovert will not care if you fart.
- A date, who is an extrovert, will not care if you talk to your ex in the restaurant. You will not have to lie. If you are on a date with an introvert, you will have to lie or you will get a strike from your date.
- In order for a couple to have children, they will have to be an A / A + pair.
Dumpster Fire: IPAD time waster
Party In My Dorm
Genre: Social
Summary: Leveling up your character to earn cash and fight in party battles.
Thoughts:
I have seen the ad for this game everywhere and I resisted the urge to download it because I thought it would be incredibly stupid. Two days ago, I thought why not; it is a free download and I can review it on my site. I still think it is incredibly stupid but I found myself actually enjoying it in all it’s stupid glory. The premise of the game starts out with you (your avie) in college and living in a dorm. In this dorm, you rent out rooms to other students. These students help improve your intelligent & strength stats. On a side note, this game is not realistic at all. The stats that you build up are important in several areas but mostly in battles. You need a lot of cash to advance in the game and there is several ways to do this without using real money. I didn’t get the impression that you had to put in any real money into the game unless you wanted too. I put in a couple of dollars because I did not want the default avatars. The most fascinating aspect of this game was the chat area. It was a big deep pool of perverts and a cluster fuck of horny young men. I really felt at home there. There was also a high volume of lesbians and that surprised me. With all this social interaction, it was a little overwhelming especially when the club leader tried to find me a boyfriend kind of without my permission. Since it’s only day two of the game, I felt I needed to wait on having a gamer boyfriend. I did get a myriad of boyfriend offers after I posted that I was looking for “a mediocre man with waxed balls.” (See picture below) So if I was in desperate need of a gamer boyfriend, I know I can definitely find at least a mediocre one with smooth balls. That was very hopeful. Another thing I noticed in chat was that people were constantly asking for role play. I was not sure if their definition of role play was the same as mine. My idea of role play is typing out several paragraphs to form a story with another person as the character you set up. I have not jumped into role play in this game to see if anybody actually did that or if they just typed horny filth to each other. If I do a follow up, I will let everybody know.
Recommend: Even though, there isn’t a ton of brains required for this game, I do find this enjoyable. It is also free so that is a bonus. I would recommend this if you are into social games and don’t mind a bunch of horny fucks messaging you constantly.
Ipad Time Waster Games: Dream Daddy
Dream Daddy – A Dad Dating Simulator
Genre: Roleplaying and complete & utter fantasy
Summary: A Dad Dating Simulator where you play a dad with daughter, who recently just moved into town. Of course, the first thing a dad wants to do is romance other hot dads!
Thoughts:
I have not played this game and probably never will because this screams hot mess to me. I’m also not interested in unrealistic role-play no matter how cool the outfits are. Oddly, this game has a high rating too. It looks like you can build your dad with different looks and then meet random men at various locations. I’m assuming to hook up. The examples of dads (Picture below) does not appeal to me. We have what looks like a vampire, a frat boy and a dirty bike mechanic with an alcohol problem. Then beside him, it is says “Build that dad! With a picture of a guy that looks like he has moobs and shops at hot topic. It looks like the demographic for this game would be young gay / bi-sexual male gamers that love to date men with children. Which is not a wide marketing field there.
Since, I have never played it; I can only speculate how the game play would be. Here goes: Day one: Build your very own dad and dress him in a sexy outfit. (Polo shirt and hot pants) Day two: Meet another hot dad at the local biker bar where drinks are ½ price until 7 pm. After you had a few minutes of small talk and are well past drunk, you make out with other hot dad in the back alley. Day three: Hungover and bruised, you explained to your daughter how you use her as a prop to lure in other hot dads and that her mother is missing. (Boating accident, you believe) Day four: Two hot dads fight for your affection! One is an out of shape millionaire and the other is a poor Latino pool boy, who will you choose! I could go on forever with this but I won’t.
Recommend:
I cannot recommend this since I won’t even play it myself. Maybe if they could come out with another addition (part two), moms looking for mediocre men that aren’t complete fucks, I would play that.
Tutorial: How to get violated.
I’m not sure this qualifies as a tutorial because I’m really not that helpful in this video but I’m going to label it a tutorial anyway. I did not want to be kicked from YouTube (especially after zooming in on a mesh vagina) so I’m just uploading it to my site.
Any questions / requests for tutorials – let me know here or send me a notecard: veruca vandyke
I will add them to the list.

Dear Veruca
I’m adding a new section to this site. I feel that there is so many people in Second life that really need my mediocre advice. So I am here for you. Over this past week, I have received a few questions and I spent some time at my real life job preparing the answers instead of actually working. If you have a question for me – Please, send a note card to: Veruca Vandyke
Q: My boyfriend wants to be a furry and I don’t know what to do.
A: I really feel for you receiving this tragic news. Your boyfriend was a human Second Life avie one minute and in the next moment; he turned into something hairy and flea infested. It must be a very confusing time for you. This is a pivotal moment where you need to decide how much you actually like him? Is he charming enough to carry though a few more weeks of your serious second life relationship before his real-life wife catches him? Can he still emote like a human instead of a dog? Are you even a pet lover? If the pros outweigh the con’s; then I would proceed with your relationship. Maybe a good way to cope is to buy him a collar and take him for walks.
Q: I find it very off putting but when I’m heavy petting my girlfriend in SL. She will not remove her shoes? Is this normal?
A: I understand your pain here. It takes a lot of energy to convince somebody to sit on a pose ball and then to furiously type out your romantic intentions only to realize they are too lazy to take off their shoes. It’s a rude awakening. I’m afraid there is no subtle way to tell anybody without them getting offended. Believe me, I have tried many, many ways. I have tried emoting, for example “/me takes off his shoes and tosses the heavy boots out the window. She watches the dog gnaw on them for a bit. She smiles and then proceeds to drape her body over his; whispering lowly in his ear on how their second life love will be eternal. “ I have also created a square prim over their feet but was accused of being insensitive. So really, there is no win-win. You can either close your eyes as you type out your emote or just find somebody that understands your way of life.
Q: My friend looks like a noob and it’s embarrassing. How do I tell them?
A: I think we all have that noob-ish friend that just won’t update their shit but help is here. Always trap them into a corner while carefully selecting your words. Start out with something that will help them maintain their dignity, humanity or whatever ailment that they have and foremost, be respectful! I look into their scared system eyes and say “Hey insert name, I like you. You are a good person with a big caring heart but I wanted to mention that some people are comparing your style to desperate chat hub molesters. Not me, of course, other people with damning evil souls. Let’s go update you to mesh.” It can be really that easy.
