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: 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 you know by now, their strategy

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 here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol

To Kill A Lobster (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. I had not planned on posting tonight but I have to make something right. I gave Shadowgun a good review last night but I didn't do it justice. Tonight I got past the vicious Cyber Lobster and went on to play a lot more. This is a terrific game! Last night I would have rated it 4 stars out of 5. Tonight I give it 5 stars out of 5. By the way, here's a spoiler alert. If you don't want to know how to kill the lobster, don't read any further. I say this because I had several people come to the blog that were looking for the silver bullet ( figure of speech from old Dracula movies, not literal weapon for lobster) to kill this behemoth.      When the monster appears, he starts firing missiles at you out of his mechanical mouth. Don't run and hide behind a barrier. Get close to him and run back and forth, dodging missiles until you can blast the lime colored ball of light that appears periodically over his head. I suspect that this is his AI, but Cybe
