Epic Games shares tips on playing Infinity Blade

Just in case you haven't mastered the great Infinity Blade game for iOS, Epic Games has posted some (spoilery, but the game's been out for quite a while now) tips over on its official blog. They start off with the best damage you can do for each kind of hit, and then move on to tips on specific enemies and how and when to block at just the right times. You may have figured some of this out in your normal playthroughs, but even if you're an amazing Infinity Blade player, there's probably something in here you'll find useful.

If you haven't picked up this Epic (literally) game yet, it's available in the App Store right now for $5.99 as a universal app. I would say you might as well keep waiting a bit longer, though -- it seems like there are sales on this one all the time, so odds are that if you're patient, you can get it for a little cheaper. That said, it's an excellent title that's well worth the money anyway, so if these tips intrigue you enough to want to play it, you might as well pick it up.

Launchpad uses a blurred version of your Desktop image for its background. Hitting Command+B while in Launchpad cycles through the original image, the blurred one, a black and white version and a blurred black and white version.


[crarko adds: A couple of people mentioned this. I don't necessarily see much use for it, but apparently one of the Launchpad developers thought it was a nice touch.]

10.7: Editing Mail.app flags

Apple's Mail flags descriptive text can be edited.


If Red, Orange or Yellow do not reflect your flags usage you can change it. Once a message has been flagged, say, in yellow, you can click on the word 'Yellow' after opening the 'Flagged' folder in the Mailboxes list on the left. You can now edit the text.

[crarko adds: It looks like the Flagged folders are basically Smart Folders, and you can rename them however you like.]
