I.O.S. 5, Warm Gun and Frogs

    Hey, everyone. What an interesting week! IOS 5, Apple's new operating system has arrived and that means goofing around with updates for our devices. They take forever and are not without their baggage. For instance. They take everything off your device, then, in theory, put it back on. 'Cept they don't. They didn't put Shadowgun back on my I-Pad 2 and when I reinstalled it, I lost my progress and had to start from square one. By the way, the update for this game was supposed to fix the unbeatable driller problem on level 4. It did not. Any helpful hints from etherland?
     Warm Gun is the new shooter game out this week. I bought it. I haven't tried the online part yet, but if you buy it for single player, you may be disappointed. More on this later. By the way, this is another app that IOS update failed to reinstall.
     I have made some progress on all those games that I was stuck on. No, not all, but several. I got past the dreaded New Orleans elimination race on Asphalt 6. I conquered my problem on 9MM. I got past the exploding barrels on Backstab. I persevered through the 'sliding in water' section of Avatar. I am in the top 10 in Real Golf 2011. All this alleviates the suffering endured from Nova 2's beat down and other games that own me.
    The picture at the top is of a cool frog who has been hanging around. His camouflage actually extends to his eyeballs, which I find mildly disconcerting. Even Dennis Rodman couldn't do this. His skin has a pebble-like consistency. He aspires to have his own video game and because of this he came to my home in hopes that I would blog about him. His thought was that someone from Japan would create a frogger style game with him as the star. Feel free to use the picture of him. I made a deal with him that if he would hang around and eat flies, I would give him some free publicity on the blog.
    From the frog's green retreat, I'm CE Wills.
P.S. Theories for this frog:
1) He belonged to a child who had a black crayon.
2) His toes have a jelly-like substance on them.
3) He has the world's worst case of 'Frog Acne'.
4) He has a vinyl siding fetish.
5) Because he has no thumb, nature compensated him by giving him an extraordinarily long middle finger.

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 ...

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...
