Buddy Rush: Arena Season 24 Ends

Arena Season 24 ended today and I have not received my wings yet. Although I did receive my blue profile frame.

Shortly after the Season ended, I was in 70th place:
70th place!
I was in 70th place, with my mighty score of 4997 (below the starting score of 5000. :p).
After a couple more rounds in the Arena.
After a couple more rounds in the Arena, I was at 47th place. I don't expect this to last long.

I'll update this post when (and if) I get my wings.

Update 27 December 2013:
I finally received my wings:
Reward in the Postbox!
There has been nothing new for the past few Seasons so I'm going to stop updating Season ends. That is, unless there is something worth reporting or funny, or something to brag about.

Christmas 2013

It is that time of the year again, the season when certain people will try to convince everyone that it is good to give gifts. And that their (the former's) products are the best gifts for that.

There are also people who say that it the time to gather with family and loved ones.

In the middle of all the celebration, the shopping and the giving, the gatherings and the parties, the food and the drinks, (and the legal looting both real and virtual), do remember the reason of Christmas.

Remember the Gift who came from above.

Have a Merry Christmas.

Mutants: Silver Buck Maurice

Time to breed me a Silver Buck Maurice.
ACK!! Why's Buck Maurice on the right!?
Okay, one more try...
Phew!! It worked this time.
With these latest tests, time to update the theory:
  1. Breeding of an Elite Mutant with PVE/PVP/Legendary Mutant is possible by breeding the PVE/PVP/Legendary Mutant with another Mutant that shares the same Gene. Remember to add a Star.
  2. Breeding a PVE/PVP/Legendary Mutant only works the first time. i.e. It is only possible to get a total of one PVE/PVP/Legendary Mutant from one PVE/PVP/Legendary Mutant.
  3. Legendary Mutants are Rare Mutants and as such, there's a chance another Mutant is the result. As such, methods to increase the chance of breeding Rare Mutants are necessary. (i.e. Use Stars, breed with Rare or single/double-similar Gene Mutants, upgrade the Breeding Center).
Theory 2. is the reason the Bronze Buck Maurice in the screenshot had a reminder in front of the name to remind me not to use him for random breedings.

With three theories, 'the theory' is now 'the theories' (plural). I'm going to call it The Theories of Breeding Elite PVE/PVP/Legendary Mutants. Note that theories 2. and 3. have not been conclusively proven, yet.

Update 28 December 2013:
Argh, the following happened!
Bred a Behemoth!?
I am pretty sure I have used that Behemoth in breeding before, only I cannot remember if I had bred a Behemoth with this particular Mutant. If I had indeed bred a Behemoth before, then theory 2 above has just been proven false!

Update 8 January 2013:
Theory 2 is false!
Theory 2 above has just been proven false! Just in case, I'm not breeding PVE/PVP/Legendary Mutants until I have used it to breed an Elite Mutant of the same type.

Road Of Fury (distance, shooter)

Distance genre in Flash games are those that has the player traveling straight in a certain direction. The further the player travels, the more the player is rewarded (directly or indirectly). With the reward, the player may purchase upgrades to help increase the distance the player travels in subsequent tries.

Road Of Fury, by Iriysoft, combines the distance genre with a shooter.
There is an opening screen!
The player controls a convoy of vehicles traveling on a wasteland highway. Along the way, nice targets pop in for the player to shoot at (the player aims with the mouse) so the road trip isn't boring. To spice things up, said targets will be able to harm the convoy.

Certain targets, as expected, have more durability than others. And certain targets may do more damage than others. Thus, it is up to the player to prioritize the targets to attack.
There are guided ballistic missiles!
When choosing targets, another factor of consideration is that the weapons of the convoy vehicles take time to turn (the lead vehicle's weapon suffers more from this). Because of this, reaching back to hit the target just above the convoy will consume considerable time away from the targets on the road ahead.
There are gunships!
Outside of the action, in the garage, the player has access to a variety of vehicles, from cars to buses and rigs (Wikipedia calls the latter tractor units). Up to three of these vehicles may be selected for the player's convoys. That is, once the vehicle has been bought with money earned from the game.
There are different vehicles to choose!
Different vehicles have different main weapons and special abilities. Larger vehicles tend to have more durability and cost more. The weapons, abilities and durability of the vehicles may be upgraded, again with money.

As mentioned, different vehicles have different special abilities. These abilities may be actively activated or passive. Active abilities allow the player to call in additional fire support or hinder the targets. Passive abilities periodically activate to repair a convoy vehicle or attack a target, with the exception of the Energy Shield, which absorbs additional damage.
There are explosions!
In summary, Road of Fury combines the shooter genre with the distance genre. Introducing the shooter removes the weakness of the distance (which is the part where the player gets bored while waiting for the distance result). In addition, having a variety of vehicles allow different setups. It is interesting to see how different weapons and abilities work, and to see if they are enough to complete the game.
There is an iron.

Buddy Rush: December 2013 Attendance Reward

This month's 20-day attendance reward is the Santablin doll.
Attendance Reward for December 2013
This is the same reward for December last year.

I am going to stop reporting on Attendance Rewards since it is redundant. That is, unless something new turns up.

Mutants: Mega Breeding Center and Buck Maurice

In Mutants: Genetic Gladiators, I found an interesting fact:
Upgrading the Breeding Center increases the chance to breed Rare Mutants!
I would have noticed that 'higher upgrades would raise the odds of getting a Rare Mutant' fact if it were there previously, especially when I upgraded to a Super Breeding Center.

Anyway, I upgraded to a Mega Breeding Center. I cross-bred a Medusa and a Colossus and hoped for a Rare Mutant:
Time to wait.
While waiting, I played the Mutant Slots and scored big:
Scored a Buck Maurice!
Buck Maurice is a Legendary Mutant and he can be sold for a good amount of Credits so it is not too bad if one wins him too many times at the Mutant Slots.
Sale price of Buck Maurice.
It appears that Buck Maurice has better stats than regular Mutants:
Buck Maurice and Pit Lord
Compared to the Pit Lord, which has the same speed, Buck Maurice has +9.3% more Health Points and +11.5% more Attack. Maybe Legendary Mutants do have better stats.

Later, the cross-breeding was complete. It was time to check if I would get a Rare Mutant:
A Nebulon!?
A Nebulon is not a Rare Mutant! That Mutant is so going to get sold once he/she/it hatches.
Despite not being a Rare, the Nebulon still takes a long time to hatch.
