converting website so that they load four times faster and consume eighty percent less data this is great news for people in countries like India and Indonesia where data connections aren't so good and it'll help the rest of us a little bit too google has also officially acquired an application called time full time full is an application that combines to-do lists calendar and scheduling all in one place and then tries to help people get it all done ostensibly Google will be using this in their own products to make them smarter everyone remembers snake the classic mobile game that used to come on old cell phones the original creator has announced that he is launching a sequel called snake rewind to the Google Play Store we don't have an exact release date but it'll be out sometime this

big splash this week goatse is essentially a mash-up of goat simulator and daisy you'll play the totally realistic life of a goat as you battle zombies and try not to get run over by cars or you might be trying to get run over by cars either way is a goofy and fun little game that includes a crafting system a large map zombies and of course the usual mayhem that comes from these sorts of games it's four dollars and ninety-nine since but there are no in-app purchases google chrome eventually gets updated in chrome beta get some stuff sooner but if you really want the bleeding edge of what Google is working on right now then you want the chrome dev channel app it is a web browser where Google tests out the latest features patches and fixes before it heads out anywhere else there will almost certainly be bugs but it's a lot of fun if you're into seeing what Google has cooking right now if you're a fan of SNL then you'll definitely want to pick up their new official application the app features the ability to watch all kinds of old sketches highlights from the current season and the lineup of upcoming hosts you can search for old clubs by season episode or by the cast members that were in them it'll also recommend other sketches based on what you like there's even some exclusive content available like I said all fans should have this applications like meerkat and periscope have been making headlines for their ease of use and ability to stream anything now the meerkat application is live in the Google Play Store although it is in beta right now it allows you to stream live video from your smartphone camera to Twitter you can also get notified of other people streaming if you follow them and they use meerkat it's totally free but again it is a beta so do beware of the bugs last up this week Double Fine released a remastered version of the PC cult classic Grim Fandango it's pretty much the same game fans will remember but now on mobile with a few enhancements like a revamp soundtrack developer commentary and new graphics the game is on sale right now for nine dollars and ninety-nine cents there are some released a bug so buyer beware but those should be straightened out sometime soon thanks again for watching everybody but let's get down to some serious business cubex is a puzzle game that employs a unique spin on the game of Tetris instead of controlling the blocks and where they follow you instead control the platform that they fall on blocks can come from both the bottom and the top and you can engage in various game modes to challenge yourself it's a bit difficult at first but quite enjoyable once you get used to it it's also totally free with no in-app purchases and we'd like to thank cube X for their support of Android apps
