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.

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...

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...
