12/16/11 Games


    Hey, everyone. I was on the I-Pad just now and noticed that you can buy the I-Phone version (plays fine on I-Pad too) of Plants Vs. Zombies for 99 cents. One of the best games on the store, for sure. Also, Asphalt 6, Adrenaline HD has gone free today. It is the best racing game on the store. Let me say that my version was bought some time ago. I was reading some reviews on the store and it may be that Gameloft has inserted more in app purchase stuff to cover this game going free. Still, just refrain from buying stuff for real money and you're cool. Also, it looks like Gameloft has put out some free versions of other games. I can't check them without downloading a new version so just use your head. Chief among them is 9MM, one of my favorite games. The free version may be a partial game or ad supported. I don't know.
     This morning I downloaded several more freebies but I haven't had time to try them, so I wouldn't be able to recommend them yet. I got a shooter, on-line variety, called Frontline Commando, an RPG called Evertales, Real Soccer 2012, Tires of Fury, Epic Truck and Real Tennis. If any of them turn out to be massively fun, I'll holler at you. That is southern for, I'll let you know.
     The previous post, I had mentioned a game and got the title a bit wrong. I'm talking about a freebie called Puzzle 26, The 7th Day.
   One final note. One of my favorite match three games is free today. It is Akzend. If you like that genre, try it.

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...

Hard Reset

    Hey, everyone. Yesterday I had an odd day. I had I-Pad trouble with my I-Pad Air. Let me tell you about it. I'll have to give you the "Reader's Digest Version". Ha, ha. This is an old saying, common during the dark ages. At that time Reader's Digest put abbreviated novels out for consumption by those who didn't really have a lot of time. They were quite good, usually.      So, a weird thing was going on with my Padster. To wit, I would buy a game and it would not appear on my I-Pad. The store would indicate that the game had downloaded but alas, there was no icon. Distressing. How could I possibly save Duke Nukem in The Manhattan Project ?      I bought other games, like Alpha 9, and they didn't appear either. I just chilled out for a while and meditated on the problem, hoping it would go away or a flash of genius might overtake me. I plugged the Padster into my PC and added some of my old games. They didn't appear either...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

    Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up.     His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000.    It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...
