Game Review: Plumber Crack

    Hey, everyone. One of the most popular games on IOS right now is called Plumber Crack. Yes, you heard right. To say that this is a different kind of game is putting it mildly. Here's the recipe for this mildly disturbing walk on the wild side.
      You have an obese plumber to come over. He is wearing low-riders and working underneath your kitchen sink. There is an ice cube on the screen before you. You must flick the ice with your finger and send it flying down the plumber's pants. When you hit the bull's-eye the poor dude hits his head on the pipes and sees stars. Sometimes he reaches back to 'dig for gold' or merely pulls his pants up.
    As you hit the target, a meter fills up on the left side. Coins fall from the dude's pocket when he writhes about due to chills. Gathering the coins fills the meter. When you fill the meter, you are awarded 'Crack Bucks'. I am not kidding. With these rewards you can buy some very interesting things. Some are a bit disturbing. ( I say this in a joking way, I think).
     Okay, here it is. You can buy stuff to dress your plumber in. Things like a cheerleader outfit. Or a plaid skirt. Or a basketball uniform. I would like to get him a superhero costume but it costs 50 crack bucks. I only had three crack bucks so I bought my dude a butterfly tattoo. That disturbs me a little, that I did this. Because, 1) I actually thought it was funny and 2) I spent my three crack bucks and now I have to save more money to buy him the Elvis outfit.
    By the way, the game is free. There are 4 modes in this game. I normally play the 'Zen' mode but it still disturbs my tranquility. The game tells me occasionally that I am a sniper, by the way, so I have that going for me. Good to know that all those hours playing Modern Combat 3: Fallen Pants Nation were not wasted. Hey, another cute thing this game says is when you throw an ice cube high on the dude's back and it slides down. They call that a spinerider.
    On a related subject, I just went over to my game called Modern Combat 3 and it said that my copy of this game might have been obtained illegally. ???!! What the heck? I bought it from the app store last year and have had no problem with it until today. (Except getting stuck all the time.) I did do an update to it today...
    By the way, a friend sent me an e-mail concerning the I-Pad 3's battery. It seems some folks did a tear down on the new device. I'll provide the link below. http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2012/03/ipad-3-teardown-my-god-its-full-of-lithium-ions.arshttp://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2012/03/ipad-3-teardown-my-god-its-full-of-lithium-ions.ars
   I'll probably blog once more this weekend. Hope you can check out the blog again. From the author's green retreat, I'm CE Wills.
P.S. The first use of the retina display for this I-Pad was used for the plumber with the butterfly tattoo. Hey, maybe I can write him into The Dan Tattoo. He could meet Mandy and they could compare body art...

Four Free Games

     Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store. 1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore . You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night. 2) The Heist - A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puz...

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

    This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

Shadowgun: Killing The Windbreaker

    Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to.     Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends.      I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As...
