September 13th For Rage, Full Game

    I was just over on the app store, looking at the comments for Rage.  How any one could give this game less than a 5 star rating is beyond me. I gave it a 5 star rating on the app store just now and I wish I could have given it a 6 star.
    Its been a cloudy, cool day with temperatures in the 40's and a 15 MPH wind. To while away the hours I played a bunch of the Rage game and was engrossed. It is like someone has dropped you down in one of those Lethal Weapon movies and it is a fight to the finish. Someone calls, you don't hear the phone. Your wife says something, you don't hear her. Finally you beat a level and lay the Padster down and start to flex your stiff fingers. You feel drained and a bit cocky from all the mutants you have ushered into the great mystery that is death. You swagger just a bit as you grab a beer from the fridge and walk outside. What? There's no one here to ask for an autograph? After shooting and moves like I just put on, out there in the ruins of the future Earth? Well, even Van Gogh was never appreciated in his time.
     I'm really looking forward to September 13th. That's when the full version of Rage is scheduled for release. I'll be in the 'virtual line' waiting on that baby to appear on the old app store. Until then I'll content myself with being a sharpshooter. I have to go now and rest my hands, lest I fall prey to mutants later in the evening.

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...

Fishdom,the Smart Cover and the Natural Blond

      Hey, everyone. I have played several different games lately. Mighty Mouse has gone 'free' and I've played it a little. It's okay. You fly through the air and punch bad guys, mines dropped by Oil Can Harry's plane, and try to avoid hitting anything unless you are pushing a button that gives you super speed. There are a lot of levels but they get harder, fast, and that takes some of the fun away. Still, for free, I can't complain. Also, Polly Purebred is fairly attractive, for a mouse. I wonder if she is a natural blond? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.      Fishdom Harvest HD is an older game that we've had for a while. This is a fun, relaxing game that has you swapping tiles so that you can complete levels and advance. As this happens, you earn in-game cash and decorate your fish tank with fish, plants and equipment. I like it a lot.      I understand that Shadowgun is now coming out with a version that is o...
