My Mistake

     One post seems to lead to another these days, when you have to correct your mistakes. Concerning the Shadowgun update, you can indeed play the new levels without finishing the game. The screen shot will show two boxes. You click on the box on the right hand side that says expansion pack. Then you choose, 'start new game'. I didn't want to click this, because I was afraid that it would wipe out my progress that I have labored for the last few months. I know. It is pretty lame. Can I use the Old Guy excuse? Thanks.
    At any rate, I have played quite a bit of the expansion pack. It is fun. You start out fighting these guys from Toltec Corporation who have come to kick John Slade's muscular butt for his depredations on Dr. Simon's abode. In reality, their motivation is more monetary, I suppose. The research in genetics by the twisted Doc is probably uppermost in their mind. At any rate, they are all wearing some sort of contamination suits and it is hard to kill the dudes with bullets. I eventually started lobbing grenades at them and decimated them fairly quickly.
    Currently I am stuck at a place where I can't find an exit. I have entered a cul-de-sac by means of slipping past a blasting energy field. There is no way out other than back the way I came. I think that I will start over and take an alternate path. It is a fun game and bears mute testimony that, if you consider the financial end of things, the I-Pad may be the best gaming system on the planet. For $7.99, I have been playing this game for several months.
    i promise that I will try to do some posts on non-game subjects very soon. Goodnight.

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...

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 ...

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...
