App Review: Real Cover

    Hey, everyone. Am I having fun today? I guess. As you know, my favorite picture is this goofy deer which I caught on camera. The flash made him go cross-eyed. Well, I like it. The first thing I do with any new photo app is try it on this picture.
     Real Cover is a great app. It works great and it's fun for older kids like myself. What you do is this. You pick a magazine cover out of several dozen. Then you pick a photo from your library, or elsewhere, to go on the front, like my friend above. Then you can put a headline on the cover, such as "Cross-eyed deer caught eating CE Wills' corn last night!" You have the ability to make the font larger or smaller and change the text color. You can also add the pics to Facebook and other places, including email, from within the app.
     So this app was on sale this morning for free, which is a great sale. There is a lite version, which is always free, by the way.
     Guess what? I put my wife's picture on the cover of a fashion magazine. Although I was having a huge time, she was not amused. Then I found an old photo from the beach. I was wearing blue speedos and a button-up blue shirt. I had been cutting up that day, pulling my shirt back like a model being photographed. It looked pretty silly and far from macho. So I took this photo and put it on the front of Marie Claire. I am about to laugh my butt off as we are going to bed. My wife is shaking her head as we lay down.
   "How can you possibly have that much fun over playing with pictures on an I-Pad? I wish I could have a good laugh that easily."
     I got up after a while and took a picture of myself and put it on the cover of GQ. The pic shows me in a closeup. I have shades on, a scroungy beard and a dumb smile. Grey hair, all that unflattering stuff. I put a caption on it in this beautiful green cursive. Is CE Wills the best blogger in America? It turned out really cool. So cool that I decided to wake my wife and show her. Halfway down the hall I came to my senses and stopped. So I settled for making it the screensaver on the PC. It was a close call between myself and the cross-eyed deer, though. You really need this app.
    From GQ's Man Of The Year and current cover model for Marie Claire, I'm CE Wills.

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 ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever. Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...

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...
