Mass Effect Infiltrator and Dead Space iOS (Android version is still up) Right now, there are two games that were removed:
Made me feel smarter.Apparently, because there are new mobile operating system versions on the way (Android 6.0 and iOS9 and 9.1), EA decided again to remove some of their games, because they decided to end support and not update their games to work properly on mobile devices. "When my entertainment system wasn’t working on the way back from Johannesburg this spring, I resorted to listening to hours and hours of Terry Gross on Fresh Air. Good way to plow through emails in a hurry." -Paul Brady, Articles Editor
We wrote about it as a hack for the laptop ban, which has since been lifted, but I still use it from time to time because it fits on an economy tray table a lot easier than a full laptop (i.e. And I have the Microsoft Universal Foldable Keyboard, which pairs to your phone over Bluetooth. Baseball 17, which is almost as mindless but way less repetitive than games like Subway Surf. "I always, always bring back-up entertainment just in case, usually whatever I can download from Netflix. I'm also somewhat of an anxious flier, and this app helps me tune out and pretend I'm falling asleep in a tent upstate, rather than hurtling through the air." -Katherine LaGrave, Senior Digital Editor
As the name indicates, many are rain-themed-I'm a fan of "Rain on a Tent" and "Rain Downpour"-but there's much, much more to choose from, including the sounds of an ocean bonfire, a shih tzu snoring, blizzard wind, and a harbor storm.

Or a reminder to bring the car to get inspected. I always have a Moleskine agenda with me, so I’ll set due dates for stuff I know I’ll have to do but always put off until it’s too late-like order Christmas cards. "I binge on Pod Save America-last flight I listened to at least five in a row-or I’ll go deep on Fresh Air and dig up ones I somehow missed. The book, because my list is too long The Economist because you can pick it up and put it down dozens of times in a flight podcasts for falling asleep and the pen to fill out customs forms and the occasional in-flight magazine sudoku puzzle." - Ryan Craggs, Contributing Digital Editor "A book, a copy of The Economist, enough podcasts to last the whole flight, and a pen. "I’m always sure to have an episode of Brideshead Revisited downloaded on my laptop-should those bumps get too uncomfortable something about the theme music always calms my jitters." -Louis Cheslaw, Editorial Assistant And I always bring a tennis ball that I can wedge between my shoulders and the backrest to work out any kinks that develop from sitting for so long." - Andrea Whittle, Associate Editor

And then short fiction in case my attention span is too start-and-stop: A Grace Paley Reader." -Phil Falino, Video Producer/Editor An ambitious bucket-list read for a challenge-next up is John Dos Passos’s U.S.A.
