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.

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...
