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: 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 ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

    Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley.     Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...
