Stuff Your Stocking With Games, Baby

    Hey, everyone. Just a quick note on games. Nova 2, the great space shooter game, just went to 99 cents at the app store. This is a steal at that price. Also, Hero of Sparta 2, an epic, lengthy game with awesome graphics, is free at the moment. It's a sword fighting game but is cool enough that even I liked it. There are monsters and climbing, all the stuff that big kids like myself like. Gangstar Rio is another $6.99 game that has dropped to 99 cents. I just bought it, at that price, so I can't say if it is good or not.
    My wife just bought one of the Brokensword  games (The Smoking Mirror). It is a mystery, but she hates it. You just walk around tapping stuff to see if it will help you. It is 800 Mbs. of memory. Should have been good. Maybe I should give it more of a chance before I slam it? I mean, for 99 cents, what do you have to lose? I feel guilty if I complain at all.
    EA games has started their Christmas sale with a lot of titles. Battlefield Bad Company 2 is certainly worth a look at the price of 99 cents. I have played it and it is cool. Of course there is a string of other titles for a cheap price. I mentioned several on the previous posts. For $10 you could get enough games to last you for months.
    Jetpack Joyride has gone free. It is a good game. I paid 99 cents for it a while back. You fly around and dodge electric bolts and missiles.
     For you puzzlers, Around The World In 80 Days (Premium) is free at the moment. I have it and it is a good game. Sometimes I will just go on the store and type in 'Gameloft' or 'EA Games' and see what that developer has listed and if they mention their sale items. Things are pretty frantic right now and you can stuff your stocking for a few sheckels.
     Well, the unfortunates like myself have to work today, so I must say goodbye, from the author's green retreat.
    I'm CE Wills.

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...
