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.

It's So Easy

     Hey, everyone, out there in etherland. I've been playing some new songs this morning on my keyboard. You may remember a Buddy Holly tune called It's So Easy . I hadn't matched the title to the song before today so I was delighted when I saw that it was the one that goes like this: "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love." It rocks pretty good. A later version of it, after amps and guitars had improved, really rocked. It seems like Joan Jett may have done a version. Anyway, I was playing this song and I thought about a fun thing I like to do. Sometimes I'll start to play a song and tell Carley, or the grandkids, whoever may be there, a silly story about it.      For instance, I would say that once upon a time Buddy Holly came to me and said, "CE, I need a hit, my man. The kids need shoes. I want to go on American bandstand, you know what I'm saying?"     "Yeah, Buddy, I hear you. But the thing is, I think ...

Movie Review: Limitless

    Hey, everyone. I ventured off the mountain today, down into the haunts of men. I'll tell you about a movie I saw, then later I'll tell you about some other stuff. The movie is Unlimited . This is a story that you would have to call science fiction, but in the not so distant future you may call it reality.      Bradley Cooper plays Edward Morra. If you looked up loser in the dictionary you would see this guy's picture. He has freeloaded off his girlfriend for years. He claims to be a writer but can't seem to put words on paper. His woman leaves him; he is a scroungy, dirty dude with no future, no drive and no money. He is about to be evicted from his scummy apartment.     Then he bumps into an old friend. The friend wants him to try a new drug which comes in the form of a small, clear pill. What Edward doesn't know is that the pill is pretty awesome. The drug is designed to unlock the true potential of the human brain. We only use a...

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week.      I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...
