Peanut Butter Cookies

    Hey, everyone. I hope y'all are doing well. I've been real busy, typing a manuscript for the sequel to KGB Retirement Program. It will still be a couple of weeks before I can get it on Smashwords. It has been a struggle. I still have to edit, make quite a few changes, then submit it for their approval. It is typed, at least.
     Well, it looks like the Packers and Steelers are in the Super Bowl. I hope the Packers win it for the simple reason that they haven't won it in a while. I'm not particularly fond of either team. I really respect the way that Aaron Rogers has kept his mouth shut through all the Bret Favre situation. Seems to be a class guy. It seems funny that I started the season thinking that Bret and the Vikings would win a ring. Now Rogers gets the glory year and Bret is back on his tractor. Just before I wrote this I saw on Google News that Jeff Fisher and the Titans had parted ways. Good coach. I think the Titans have made a mistake. It's a bummer that all the coaching vacancies are filled before Fisher 'gets the gate'. Still, I can't see him being out of work very long.
      I'm hoping to get out and go to a movie this weekend. I'm torn between several choices. Green Hornet, No Strings Attached and The Mechanic. I also wouldn't mind seeing the Vince Vaughn flick, The Dilemma.
     I bet a few of you are old enough to remember Charles Bronson as The Mechanic. Yes, that's right, it's a remake. All you Net-Flix devotees try the original this weekend. When I was pretty young(1972) this movie was considered monstrously cool. Mostly because of the neat ending but also because being a hit-man seemed like a really cool line of work. Are teenage guys hopelessly naive or what? Of course, today I look back... and I still think being a hit-man would be a cool line of work. Ah, maturity!
      I went on you-tube tonight and saw a clip of the new 'buzz' game for I-Pad. Its called Dead Space. I think it's like your character is in a horror movie. It's that realistic and has some creepy music too. My problem is, I can't dig all the blood on this game. (Major drawback to being a Mechanic). I devote a lot of care to stay away from seeing a lot of blood and guts. I don't intend to pay someone $9.99 to see it. The graphics are terrific, on a par with Infinity Blade.
     Guess what I'm eating as I type this? I'm having Cheddar and Sour Creme potato chips, homemade peanut butter cookies and champagne. Weird for the middle of the night, I know. Hey, when you're old, you can do what you please. Goodnight to you, as I enjoy the breakfast of champions.

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

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 his AI, but Cybe
