Game Review: Air Master, 3D

    Hey, everyone. I have been playing a fun game that involves aliens, flying saucers, strange planets and a guilt trip. The game is called Air Master 3D, as the erudite among you must suspect by now. This game is free for the trial version and a paltry 99 cents for the full version. I played the free version for a few minutes, then went back and bought the full version. Here's the recipe.
    First let me explain what I said about the guilt trip. If you fail to vanquish the aliens, the game tells you that because of your failure, a planet has been destroyed and billions of humans have been enslaved for eternity. If that doesn't inspire you to battle harder, what can?
     In this game you pilot a space ship and you fight the enemy on several bizarre planets, which are beautifully rendered in  these nice pastel colors. In an innovation that I haven't seen before, you can actually control the height of the terrain that you are flying over, low, medium or high. I prefer the low terrain, mostly, because it is easier to see the gun emplacements, satellite dishes and compounds of the enemy. While I was in a dog-fight over the ocean, I seemed to actually go below the water briefly and came back out. I don't know if that is cool or just a glitch because I am still a novice at this game. There is a lot of flak in the air as you fly over the thickest of the enemy gun nests. The enemy has actual flying saucers, like UFO lovers used to see here on earth. They also have more stylish, X-Wing type craft. Your job is to blast them from the sky, whatever they are in. When you come swooping in to low levels to launch a missile at a comm center, it is a lot of fun. I like this game quite a bit and I suspect you will too. Try the free version first, would be my advice, but I figure that you will like it enough to spend a dollar.

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 ...

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...

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...
