Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville for MOBILE DEVICES?! but...📱

This time, I will tell you about something random about me with Plants vs. Zombies stuffs, but not from any of my assets anyway... Even though I don't have any console or at least powerful gaming PC/laptop to play any Plants vs. Zombies shooter games (Garden Warfare, Garden Warfare 2, and Battle for Neighborville), but I came across something about one of them that was being ported into mobile devices. Not those two Garden Warfare series, but Battle for Neighborville. Yes, I do watch any of those gameplay videos of this particular Plants vs. Zombies shooter game on YouTube by various gamers out there (IULITM, ZERO X FUSIONZ, Redhead Gaming, Twothless, ZackScottGames, etc.), although I don't seem to watch them quite often, unlike Garden Warfare series, which I always them for almost everyday. Until at someday, I found a wild video that wasn't a gameplay of it, but rather something that leads to the link that contained the aforementioned Plants vs. Zombies shooter game that was being ported wildly into mobile devices, instead of the ones that they officially released already on few ports like Xbox One/Series X, PS4/PS5 (I think), PC, or Nintendo Switch (as of this month). So, here are my short stories about me encountered it, right away.

1. When I discovered the site of it...📱

Right after I opened the link that leads to it, I was surprised about the site itself. It was sort of legit website, although the English grammar on it was a little dodgy. The site that contained them also boasted bunch of features that claimed if it also run as good as those official ports of the aforementioned Plants vs. Zombies shooter game itself (Xbox One/Series X, PS4/PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch [as of this month]). There were no words that I could say to it, until I downloaded the app file (.apk) to it into my phone... Until the thing that caused me didn't bother to continue playing it straight from the beginning.

2. When I downloaded the app itself...📱

The size of the app itself is approximately about 126 MB. Although it took few minutes to download it, it did download it just well, yet it also showed the Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville logo on it too. Again, everything about it was fine during the installation of it to my phone, but again... Something that caused me didn't bother to continue playing it straight from the beginning.

3. When I tried to play it... I said that, because...📱

Okay, here's the main point about why I said so in this section... While I tried to play it, it did open the app just fine, showing the 2019 copyright of the game itself. Then, in the loading screen, it showed up some Weeds attacking some basic zombies (instead of others like an AI Kernel Corn attacking an AI Foot Soldier 1v1, or even a throwback from main Plants vs. Zombies games being interpreted into this game). Obviously there's the "Tap to start" instead of "Press the button" command on that loading screen, because this is the wild mobile phone port version of this particular Plants vs. Zombies shooter game. Until... Bah! I had to do some complicated human verification process thing in order to play it by doing 2 objectives that obviously wouldn't work in my country anyway. So, here are 2 objectives that the app said in order to play it:

1. Downloading a Lords Mobile game, then I had to open it for least 30 seconds. It was kind of passable, but I just simply didn't bother to do it.
2. Now, here is my most impossible objective that I had to do, which was some sort of tinkering with Coin Master by doing sending some weird SMS into random foreign phone numbers that I couldn't recognize them at all. WHICH of course, it wouldn't send ANY of them due to it obviously wouldn't work for ANY phone numbers outside my country... What a waste of my phone's quota! F***

So, there you have it about why I obviously didn't play the mobile device port of Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. Due to those two objectives of verification thing that looks and sounds way too complicated, that's a big reason about why. Imagine if the verification itself wasn't too complicated like that, I would be easier to play it right off the bat... Which means, I simply keep watching any of those gameplay videos about those Plants vs. Zombies shooter games on YouTube instead, including Garden Warfare series too...

Oh, this also reminds me to those good old days where there were lot of fake Plants vs. Zombies 2 apps being listed on Google Play. It was occurred back in somewhere in very late of 2013 until 2014. Although most of them had different guts in each of the fake apps there, such as typical objectives that were actually some sort of malware (for instance, suddenly installed a wild SystemUI), or even a poor man's original Plants vs. Zombies game, from what I discovered them back in those days with my bad Android devices that I used to have... Anyway, that's it for what I can say about this wild port about one of those Plants vs. Zombies shooter games that I couldn't even get it to play at all due to those two freaking complicated verification things there, and thanks for reading this post.

Electric fans in abandoned places (part 5)

And yet again, another batch of yet another YouTube videos of electric fans (mainly ceiling fans) in abandoned places, taken by several urban exploration YouTubers... On this part here, there's something different of what videos of electric fans in abandoned places that I listed in here, which most of the videos that I listed here also involve the demolition of the place itself that has any of the fans on it (of course which means being destroyed during the demolition), instead of normal urban exploration videos by those urban exploration YouTubers like usual... Without further ado with them, let's take look at yet even more of YouTube videos of electric fans (mainly ceiling fans) in abandoned places.

Started off by this big abandoned house here. There's a ceiling fan with 4-arm light-kit that has one it's own light-kit's shades got missing, shown at 2:16.

Now, here's the one that I'm talking about on this part of electric fans in abandoned house, which isn't taken by any urban explorers. This is the example video about the demolition of this old abandoned house that they did more than a decade ago. On this video here, there was this white ceiling fan that got taken down with a sledgehammer by one of these guys on this video, then he threw it off to the window.

Then, in this abandoned party mansion here, just a typical modern ceiling fan with schoolhouse light-kit, shown around at 1:52 (Unfortunately there's no better look at that one, but whatever), followed by three remote ceiling fans with palm leaf blades on each of them above the moldy pool, shown around at 11:48.


Then, in this abandoned farmhouse here, there's the polished brass ceiling fan with 4-arm adjustable spotlight-kit shown around at 3:36. It's only the fan that is installed in this house, by the way.

Then, in this really vandalized abandoned party house here, there are two ceiling fans in there. One of them is installed above the kitchen of this house, which is severely destroyed (shown at 4:28), and the other one is installed in the basement's bar of this house (unfortunately, there's no close-up at that one though).

Another video that was taken by that Australian guy who smashes a lot of things with his golf clubs...

"Fancy fan has been destroyed..."-smashthings1

Anyway, it is shown at 0:21 for a very brief look of it, yet he also featured it clearly on this video's thumbnail.

Then, in this abandoned time capsule home here, there's the hugger ceiling fan with droopy blades, shown at 2:21, followed by the stand fan that is located in one of the bedrooms of this house (shown clearly on this video's thumbnail).


Now, this is the most bizarre one... This abandoned time capsule mansion contains many ceiling fans inside. Few of them are installed in the mansion part of this house, and the rest of them are installed in the other part of this building, which is the time capsule house itself. Through 4 different Canadian urban explorer YouTubers that they explored in this place (although they didn't realize if there are bunch of ceiling fans in there [except for few of them that they discovered indirectly on camera]), here are traits for those ceiling fans in there:

a. Mansion

• 3 of them are installed in the front area of the mansion itself, being 2 of them are installed on the sloped ceiling... The one that isn't installed on the sloped ceiling yet it is different than the others has it's own light kit on it, yet the condition of it is fine, unlike the other 2 fans which are rusty.
• One of them is installed on one of the porches of the mansion itself, yet it obviously has droopy blades. Unfortunately though, none of the explorers take a close look of it though.
• Another ceiling fan that is installed in one of the bedrooms of the mansion itself, caught by one of the explorers. It has droopy blades too, by the way.

b. Time capsule house

• 2 of them are installed in the living room-kitchen combo. The one that is installed above the kitchen has droopy blades. Although there's the ceiling fan that IS installed above the living room, only one of the explorers caught it indirectly.
• 2 of the bedrooms has ceiling fans in each of the bedrooms. One of them is a 30" ceiling fan that is installed in the bedroom that has that desktop computer, and the other one is a hugger ceiling fan with light kit that is installed in another bedroom that contains those old laptops. None of them did take a close look at each of the fans though, although you can see them in most of the parts on some of these videos here briefly.

Then, in this abandoned house that was being demolished, there was this ceiling fan that they destroyed using a baseball bat. 😢🏏

"Oh, the fancy ceiling fan... Just have show on the shot because neither the video gets way more views, just that... ONE shot for the fan..."-smashthings1

Shown at 0:25, and also...

"Oh what is that is the VINTAGE FAN? Oh wow!"-smashthings1

Shown at 1:25. But of course he smashed it on his smashing video of it. There's also a ceiling exhaust fan that he showed it at 5:42.


Then, in this abandoned trailer park here, there are bunch of 42" hugger ceiling fans in most parts of this trailer park. There's also a brown spinner ceiling fan in one of them, which is located in one of the parts that also has 2 of those 42" hugger ceiling fans installed in one large room.


Then, in this abandoned ranch style mansion here, there are bunch of ceiling fans in there. Shown briefly at 7:54, 9:32 (right behind him), 11:27 (white hugger ceiling fan with 4 adjustable spotlight-kit), and the one that is featured on this video's thumbnail. There's also another one of those, but unfortunately, he didn't take a brief look at that one.


Then, in this abandoned retro country home here, there are few ceiling fans installed inside. Shown at 0:18 and 1:52 (antique brass fan with schoolhouse light-kit), 2:44 (42" antique brass fan with 3-arm light kit), and 11:33 (the "Blenderfan"). There's also a 32"-ish white spinner ceiling fan that is installed right above the stairway at 6:30, but unfortunately, they didn't even take a close look at it.


Then, in this abandoned dealer's house that is moldy due to there's the indoor pool inside that was explored by 3 different Canadian urban explorer YouTubers here, there 4 ceiling fans in there.  One of them is installed in the living room (polished brass with 4-arm light kit), another one is installed in some sort of master bedroom (polished brass with 3-arm light kit, yet with cane blades), and the other two are installed in each of the smaller bedrooms themselves (white 42" fans), but only one of them that is visible for a brief look for it in one of these exploration videos (I think).




Lastly, this video was taken by one of those small American fan collector YouTubers. He explored into this old house that has bunch of old ceiling fans inside. Shown at 0:05 (polished brass fan with 3-arm light kit, yet it's own blades are droopy), 0:20 (laying on the floor), 0:22 (same fan as the first one, but different model and finish), 0:33 (42" hugger, but hard to look),  1:04, and 2:59 (30" painted hugger in pink, blue, and yellow colors, yet also featured clearly on this video's thumbnail).



If you know about the brand of each of the electric fans (mainly ceiling fans) in each of these videos there, please let me know about them in the comments section below here... Also, I will make a part 6 of (yet again) even more of the electric fans in abandoned places by various urban explorers (and some other guys like those demolition guys), so stay tuned for that. Enjoy
