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 Cyber Lobsters are not my area of expertise. Anyway, he will crumple like a rag doll after 20 or 30 bullets in that tennis ball looking thing. Keep a fresh magazine in your gun while you dodge missiles.
    This game is poised to take its place among the upper echelon of I-Pad games like Rage, Real Golf 2011, Asphalt 6, Nova 2, 9MM and Carnivores. Don't wait for it to go down in price because it kicks butt.
      From the place where I no longer walk in fear of Lobsters, I'm CE Wills, here at the author's green retreat.

    I have had some problems with Shadowgun every now and then I will randomly fall down under the floor and have restart the level. I have also had problems with the app restarting itself and on the elevator behind where you defeat the second Cyber Lobster you go up the elevator but then it just stops and no doors or ramps do anything its really frustrating when I have to the level over and over again and sometimes when I have been in battle with the Cyber Lobster the green thing that is supposed to be above it doesn't come so I have to restart it if I had to give it a score it would be 3.5 out of 5 stars because of all of the bugs in the game I would really like to give it at least 4 but I can't even though it has amazing graphics, cool boss battles and even battling the normal soliders is pretty fun. I hope this comment made sense and I hope in the future that this doesn't happen again

    See ya

    You're a better man than me... I still can beat the damn thing. Tried now like 20 times. I can't even control the guy well enough to shoot the damn green thing. Are you playing on a tablet or a phone? I'm on an Evo. Maybe I should be playing on a tablet.

    Hey - in the far right near the front corner there's an L shape comprising a barricade and the front fence. Hide in this corner and shoot the lobsters green spot. He can't hit you back. Use your Roll function to get over to the corner barricade.

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 ...

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...

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...
