Angry Birds, Halloween

Hey, everyone. I forgot to mention something in the previous post. It scarcely matters because there's a lot of buzz and you've probably heard about it anyway. At any rate, those lovable birds are back in action. Just out today is Angry Birds Halloween. It's 99 cents at the app store. This version has 45 new levels with Halloween themes and spooky music. My wife is a Birds fanatic and has beaten every level. I scored major points with her by downloading this new game just after midnight. The game makers are great about giving free updates with new levels so no one minds buying this one, I'm sure.
I read on-line that Angry Birds is the #1 selling app all time on the app store. I also read that recently, when offered on line for android systems, that there were 90,000 requests in the first minute and the server crashed. By the way, you remember the other day I mentioned a game called Cut The Rope? I saw where that game sold a million copies in the first ten days on the store.
Obviously you and I need to get into game development. There's some big-time coin in it.
Guess I'll go now. I'll probably post again Saturday. Thanks for reading! CE Wills

Movie Review: Limitless

Hey, everyone. I ventured off the mountain today, down into the haunts of men. I'll tell you about a movie I saw, then later I'll tell you about some other stuff. The movie is Unlimited . This is a story that you would have to call science fiction, but in the not so distant future you may call it reality. Bradley Cooper plays Edward Morra. If you looked up loser in the dictionary you would see this guy's picture. He has freeloaded off his girlfriend for years. He claims to be a writer but can't seem to put words on paper. His woman leaves him; he is a scroungy, dirty dude with no future, no drive and no money. He is about to be evicted from his scummy apartment. Then he bumps into an old friend. The friend wants him to try a new drug which comes in the form of a small, clear pill. What Edward doesn't know is that the pill is pretty awesome. The drug is designed to unlock the true potential of the human brain. We only use a...

It's So Easy

Hey, everyone, out there in etherland. I've been playing some new songs this morning on my keyboard. You may remember a Buddy Holly tune called It's So Easy . I hadn't matched the title to the song before today so I was delighted when I saw that it was the one that goes like this: "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love." It rocks pretty good. A later version of it, after amps and guitars had improved, really rocked. It seems like Joan Jett may have done a version. Anyway, I was playing this song and I thought about a fun thing I like to do. Sometimes I'll start to play a song and tell Carley, or the grandkids, whoever may be there, a silly story about it. For instance, I would say that once upon a time Buddy Holly came to me and said, "CE, I need a hit, my man. The kids need shoes. I want to go on American bandstand, you know what I'm saying?" "Yeah, Buddy, I hear you. But the thing is, I think ...

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...
