Not So Red Fox

    Hey everyone. I was standing at the kitchen window this morning, pouring a cup of coffee. A red fox came trotting by scarcely twenty feet away from the house. He was oddly colored, all brown except for a big swath of red fur on his throat. He sure was scrawny looking. I think he was after the squirrels that hang around this place. At any rate he was snuffling along in the dead leaves and soon passed out of sight. I don't know where these animals are getting water. Our creek is dried up completely. I suspect that they get their water from a farm pond some where.
    We've been trying out some new games for the Ipad. Battle Bears, Doodle Jump, Gears, Minigore, Fragger, Peggle, Tornado, Buganoids, and Flight Control, to name a few. My wife really likes Peggle and reached 13,000,000 points on it. It's $2.99 on the app store. She likes Fragger, which is a game where you throw grenades at these little guys and blow them up. It's 99 cents. In Battle Bears you have these over-affectionate teddy bears who are trying to hug you to death. You try to shoot them which is a real turn off for me. I mean, they're teddy bears, dude. Upon reflection, I think that I was ruined for gaming by Plants vs. Zombies. It was my first game on the Ipad and the other games just don't measure up. I like Bookworm okay. In this game you pick words out of a mass of letters before a meltdown of flaming letters happen. The bad thing about this game is you never win but merely go for high score. I am a non-competitive person and never play games on-line, by the way.
    On one of the Ipad related sites I mentioned yesterday I found a review of a game called Ninja Chicken HD. I will probably check it out later today. If I can fit that into my busy schedule of goofin' off out back here at the green place. CE Wills

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 you know by now, their strategy

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol

Men In Black 3, Just Empty Black Suits?

    Hey, everyone, out there in the world! Nice of you to stop by. Today I downloaded Men In Black 3 for I-Pad. There were a number of positive reviews on the app store, but there were several reviews that complained about the game failing to open. This was my experience. It opened to the screen shown above and froze there. At least it was free. I have an I-Pad 3, so maybe you will have better luck with yours.     EA games is having a big sale for the holiday weekend. I already have most of the titles which are on sale, however. I did buy several games this weekend, though, and I'd like to tell you about them.    Get Out of My Galaxy is a Mario type of space game in which you control a monster with 4 arms. The dude eats rocks and has a penchant for slapping little cone-headed aliens. There are a certain number of aliens to slap on every planet, then you move on to the next world. There are power-ups to grab as you go along, for health and other things. There is prickly vegetatio
