Games For That Shiny New I-Pad

     Howdy. I thought I'd change my greeting to a more country sounding one. Today is Christmas and I thought I'd help out the folks who have a new I-Pad or I-Phone. Here is a list of the very best games for you to buy for that shiny new device. I have a list for the puzzlers and one for the shooters among you. Let's start with the shooters, since my wife is cooking breakfast and can't tell me about puzzles right now.
1) 9MM- This is a game in which you are a slightly shady cop. You steal a satchel of money from a drug dealer and have to shoot it out with his minions. I played it all the way through. It is very long, very intense, very cool. For 99 cents, you should be investigated by Internal Affairs for buying this game. (Sale)
2) Nova 2- The preeminent space shooter on the app store. You fight your way across an alien world. You don't have anything personal against the giant mechs and soldiers but hey, you have to put them down. It is very deep and very good. On sale for 99 cents and it is a steal. If you work for a living, it will likely take you months to finish it.
3) Shadowgun- This game is on sale for $2.99 and it is so worth it. It is a long and good game, a devastating combo. You are a hired gun, in a future galaxy. You go into an alien world to take down a mad scientist who builds cyborgs and giant monster robots. It's hard to beat but will provide months of enjoyment.
4) Carnivore, Dinosaur Hunter- In this game, you go out on Dino hunts, like you're in a Jurassic park. When a T-Rex is coming at you with the speed of a freight train, you'll be glad you bought this game.
5) Modern Combat 3; Fallen Nation- Great war game. Graphics and game play are among the best on the I-Pad. It is set during world war 3 and you play as an American soldier. America has fallen and you have to get some payback.
6) Rainbow Six- As the commander of an elite SEAL team, you must complete various missions. The responsibility of keeping your team members alive as you breach doors and land on oil platforms weighs heavily on your broad shoulders.
7) Rage HD- Intense action and graphics for shooter dudes. About as much fun as you can have without breaking the law. Battle mutants in underground, spooky places. This one is shorter but totally worth the cheap price.
8) Real Golf 2011- Yes, I know it is not a shooter, but I have spent more time playing it than any other game. It is relaxing and pleasurable.
9) Asphalt 6, Adrenaline- The best racing game on I-Pad. You race all  over the world. The competition will run you off the road, and you wreck them, where possible. The graphics and gameplay are superb. You will literally have your pulse quickened by the racing, and perhaps by the voice of your 'spotter'. A must have.
10) Desert Zombie- An outbreak of zombies has occurred and since you are on someone's hate list, you are sent into the combat zone. Fast paced, action-packed, great graphics. Yeah, I'm up for that. 99 cents. Let's see you get a game for that price on X-Box.
     Well, there's a quick list to start you off. I'll put a link at the bottom of the post for my write-ups of I-Pad games and subjects. There are a bunch of them, they're free and fun. This afternoon, I'll have Carley give you a quick list of her favorite puzzle games. I call her the 'High Priestess of Puzzlers' and she is good at them. Until that time, I'm CE Wills, from the author's green retreat.

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...
