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.

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 ...

Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour

Hey, everyone. I have been playing the newest shooter game from Gameloft and it pretty much rocks. Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour is running #4 on the app store against the stiff competition of Angry Birds and Vice City. I have had it for 2 days now but I have just now started to play it. I chose 'no gyroscope' on the controls and 'easy' level of difficulty. The file size is a huge 1.44 Gigs, the biggest game file I've ever downloaded. The price is a healthy $6.99. The in-apps, if you have to have them? They run all the way up to $99 (dollars, not cents). Are they out of their minds? I hope I can play at least most of it without the additional buys. Wouldn't bet on it. The graphics are superb and it plays okay on my I-Pad 3. Here's how the story goes. A lot of dignitaries are assembled in Hawaii and a guy named Page launches an assault on the hotel and takes a noted captive, utilizing a band of mercenaries. This Page guy has a screw loose in h...
