Shadowgun Tip


    Hey, everyone. It's a cold, snowy night, here at the green retreat. I have a fire going in the fireplace and I have been playing some games. I haven't played Shadowgun in quite a while. I was stuck on the Leftover Expansion Pack at the place where there doesn't seem to be any way to get into the control room with the glass wall. You could see several things inside that were lit up. For instance, the large blue gear which we are so used to seeing was in there. Well, I discovered that you have a yellow bullseye thing on the right side of the control room. You have to shoot that thing, through the glass. Make sure the red target is lit when you shoot it, just as you would on a human target. When you shoot the yellow bullseye the side door opens and you can go into the room. Heck, I had tried lobbing grenades through the fan and everything else.
   Once inside the room, John Slade closes a steam valve. This allows that red hot pipe to cool off. Lo and behold, when you return to the area of the pipe, there is a green, neon emblem of a running man there above the pipe. I tried shooting it but the game wants you to walk under it. When you do, a gear appears and you tap the gear. This causes you to fall through the floor and enter another level. It's a level where some of Toltec's geeks are tinkering with green vats full of goo, genetic code and who knows what else? Before you can get into that room, you must walk across a pipe and disable a force field.
     When you get inside the room with the geeks, they run away and call for a bunch of mercenaries. A battle royal ensues and it is a tough one. It seems that you die much easier in this level and I am beginning to think it is because there are cannisters of explosives which you are foolishly hiding behind. I had killed all of the first wave of bad guys once, then had to go back and start over.
    I am stuck again, as I am on so many other games. I will say, though, that it has been a treat to play Shadowgun again, with its amazing graphics and smooth gameplay. It is special.
    I think I'm going over to I-Tunes and watch Paul McCartney's concert. I understand that the songs are more like the songs from the era before the Beatles. More of a Tony Bennett style. It doesn't matter to me. I am very fond of Paul and I look forward to watching this 'made for the web' show. So I'll bid you goodnight from the author's green retreat.
    I'm CE Wills.

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

    Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley.     Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...
