Zen Squirrel Now Rocks

    Hey, everyone. A while back I did a post about a squirrel that was acting rather peculiar here at the green retreat. At that time he was sitting and staring at my car for a while, not moving. In the post titled The Zen Squirrel Theories I drew some conclusions as to what could be the little guy's problems. Just lately it seems that the formerly meditative animal has fallen back into the carnality of this present world. He appears to be wearing a hairpiece although it's not as though he needs it. He has a wonderful, even bushy, head of hair. At least it seems that he maintains his healthy diet of acorns and nuts. I chose to set forth a few thoughts as to what may be the reason behind this squirrel's new 'do.
1. He is a Justin Bieber fan.
2. He lost an election bet with a squirrel from another state.
3. The chick squirrels really dig him in long hair.
4. He was getting a little thin on top and it was effecting his self-esteem. I certainly sympathize with that.
5. During his zen days he tried to levitate my car. When he failed he lost faith in spiritual things and decided to rock on.
6. He went from being a casual gamer to being a hardcore gamer and wanted an appearance that would open doors at the south by southwest geek conference.
7. He bought an I-Pad and went from being a constructive member of society to a burn-out.
8. The guy that lives close to him bought an app at the app store that was capable of doing weird things to a picture of an otherwise harmless animal.
    On a more serious note, I bought a new game at the app store today. It's called Archetype and I can't recommend it. Believe it or not, you can only play this game on-line as multiplayer. That makes it useless to me because I never play multi-player. The money lost is not an issue because the game only cost a paltry (cool word) 99 cents. The point is that they should mark the game page quite plainly that it is on-line only. If I could play the darn game it looks like it would be pretty good.
    Hey. I'm loving the game called Rage, which I recently reviewed. I play other games now and they seem to be slow by comparison. For 99 cents it is head and shoulders above some of my other favorites. If you recently bought an I-Pad, jump over to the app store and buy the thing. If you do you almost certainly will have a squirrel like this in your yard, which is cool.

Four Free Games

     Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store. 1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore . You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night. 2) The Heist - A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puz...

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

    This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

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...
