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.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

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...

Egg Art

     Hey, everyone. One of the odd customs in America is the Easter Egg Hunt. Here at the Green Retreat, we do a hunt every Spring. I just ran across some of the pictures from this years hunt and it is obvious that an artist had sneaked into our midst. The orange egg is a rendering of one of the Angry Birds of gaming lore. If I were a bird and had to pass an egg that size, I would be angry too. Ha, ha.      We typically will dye about 10 dozen eggs and people get quite creative with their quotes and colors, as you can see. Many of the eggs are a bit risque for these pages. After having a few laughs, we hide the eggs. All of them are never found, which is cool. It is amusing to see old men (me) and all ages of folks, walking around with a basket on their arm. Some of the hiding spots are dastardly. Like eggs hidden in the guttering downspouts and ten foot up a tree. The kids are perhaps the most devious at hiding the colorful orbs, goi...
