The Best iOS Rap
LOL the raps you guys submitted were hilarious and awesome. I highly recommend all of you go through the contest thread to read them all, they are all amazing!
@joverboard was even awesome enough to post his submission in rap form on YouTube, check it out!
It was a tough call because there were so many awesome ones (you guys know who you are!) But in the end there was one that was my favorite – this one by @mattynoce!
take a trip with me down memory lane
to a time long ago that is hard to explain.
imagine, if you will, that you're bored on the train,
then you pull out your phone and you can't play a game!
"what's wrong with my phone, is this some kind of mystery?"
sorry, no, my friend, you just don't know your history.
a few years back, though you wouldn't believe,
all phones had keys and you couldn't touch the screens!
the purpose of phones was to speak and write words
we loved t9 and hadn't heard of angry birds
then a man named steve came down from the future
equipped with a shiny new phone and more accoutre-
ments. we were stunned -- could we believe our eyes?
does george jetson know that you stole his device?
blackberry laughed, still drunk with their power
as they watched their proceedings from their ivory tower
but it didn't matter if you couldn't copy and paste yet
it beat the pants off the mobile version of telnet
so here we are now, with machines in our pockets
stronger than the ones that used to guide our rockets
so take advantage of the opportunity:
come and play the new game i build on cocos2d!
LOL I love it! In fact I love this so much that I’m announcing a second optional mini-contest related to this!
I think it would be awesome to see this rap live, don’t you? I considered doing it myself, but didn’t want to subject you all to my poor rapping skils :]
So whoever converts @mattyoce‘s rap to a YouTube video (give credit to him of course) and sends me the link by next Tuesday will be eligible to win not only a copy of the book, but also a copy of the upcoming Space Game Starter Kit. In the event that more than one person makes a video, I’ll pick the best!
Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who entered the contest! I honestly wish I could send books to everyone, but I only have so many copies (and so much $$ for postage fees!) :]
If you were one of the winners, I will be sending you an email at the account you signed up at the forums with to get your address shortly.
Thanks again, and Rod and I hope you enjoy the book! :]
