Macho, the Little Deer

    I mentioned in previous blogs, a little orphaned deer that's been hanging around. We never see him with ~~anyone~~, any other deer and it's clear to me that he lost his mother.
As you know, deer are the most mild-mannered creatures. This little guy is funny-turned. He has an aggressive streak which is amusing considering his size and heritage. One day he came charging up to my wife and I as we walked in the woods. I guess being an orphan has given him an attitude. He reminds me of a little puppy that struts around until he gets smacked.
    Yesterday evening I was at work and my wife was sitting on the deck. This fawn comes strolling through, nuzzling in the leaves, searching for food. He either doesn't see my wife or ignores her until she moves. Then, every time she moves, instead of running like a normal deer, large or small, he stomps his foot at her like he's warning her. It wasn't scary, just very cute. Eventually he wandered away into the forest. Just as he disappeared from sight, my wife heard a crashing in the brush and was a little concerned for his welfare. We are hoping nothing attacked the little guy.
    We decided to give the fawn a name. So, henceforth he is Macho, the orphan deer.

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week. I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...

To Kill A Lobster (Shadowgun)

Hey, everyone. I had not planned on posting tonight but I have to make something right. I gave Shadowgun a good review last night but I didn't do it justice. Tonight I got past the vicious Cyber Lobster and went on to play a lot more. This is a terrific game! Last night I would have rated it 4 stars out of 5. Tonight I give it 5 stars out of 5. By the way, here's a spoiler alert. If you don't want to know how to kill the lobster, don't read any further. I say this because I had several people come to the blog that were looking for the silver bullet ( figure of speech from old Dracula movies, not literal weapon for lobster) to kill this behemoth. When the monster appears, he starts firing missiles at you out of his mechanical mouth. Don't run and hide behind a barrier. Get close to him and run back and forth, dodging missiles until you can blast the lime colored ball of light that appears periodically over his head. I suspect that this is hi...

Shadowgun: Killing The Windbreaker

Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to. Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends. I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As...
