Game Review: Crazy Caps HD

     Hey, everyone. Puzzle people need love, just like everyone else. Although I love the shooter games, I play a bit of the Match 3 games as well. I just recently started on a new one called Crazy Caps HD. It is a fun game and I think you might like it. Moreover, it is free and as far as I can tell, has no in-app con games going on.
    As I said, it is a match three. There is a board laid out with bottle caps of different colors and designs. You move a cap so that it will line up three of like color which causes them to flip over and fall off the board. As you progress through the matches, a meter, which resembles a tube of acid, proceeds to fill up on your right. When it is full you proceed to another board. Soon you have cool additions, such as a cap with a rocket on it. When you tap that one it zooms off the board, taking all the caps with it in the direction the rocket is pointing. This racks up some points on filling the acid tube, believe me.
    There are other special caps as you progress. For instance, there is an atomic cap and a cap which has a spooky face on it. The spooky face takes out all the surrounding caps when it explodes. There are also black caps which do nothing except to impede your progress.
    There are three modes with this game. In puzzle mode you merely try to get these two bird faces in contact with each other. They start out separated by part of the caps and you move them until you get them together. Survival mode is a deal where you see how many caps you can match in one minute. I don't like to be timed in anything so this is not my favorite. My favorite is the classic mode which I described at the first of this post.
      This game has nice colors, graphics and animations. I like the sound of the caps turning over. There are no adds or in-app purchases. It is free at the moment and it is one of the very few games that carry a five star rating on the app store with over a hundred ratings. I recommend it to you puzzle folks. It is nice to have a game which you can actually play without getting stuck, angry or ripped off by in-app purchases.
    For you guys that like nostalgia, do you remember when soft drinks made by Royal Crown Cola (RC) had bottle caps that sometimes had an imprint under the cork? If there was a red diamond, you won a free drink, a blue diamond won a free carton of colas. You dug the cork out with your fingernail to check. I think soft drinks were a nickel at that time.
    Speaking of nostalgia, click on the label link below this post and read more posts about this sort of thing. The labels are a cool way to check out some of my older posts. They are all free, with no adds. I particularly recommend the ones about mountain lions, so I will put that label below this post as well. Bye.

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 ...

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...

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...
