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...

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...

Hard Reset

    Hey, everyone. Yesterday I had an odd day. I had I-Pad trouble with my I-Pad Air. Let me tell you about it. I'll have to give you the "Reader's Digest Version". Ha, ha. This is an old saying, common during the dark ages. At that time Reader's Digest put abbreviated novels out for consumption by those who didn't really have a lot of time. They were quite good, usually.      So, a weird thing was going on with my Padster. To wit, I would buy a game and it would not appear on my I-Pad. The store would indicate that the game had downloaded but alas, there was no icon. Distressing. How could I possibly save Duke Nukem in The Manhattan Project ?      I bought other games, like Alpha 9, and they didn't appear either. I just chilled out for a while and meditated on the problem, hoping it would go away or a flash of genius might overtake me. I plugged the Padster into my PC and added some of my old games. They didn't appear either...

Games, Vladimir Putin and Moths

Hey, everyone. I have dubbed this moth the Butterscotch Moth . He is a big guy and looks like he has furry legs and tufts of hair growing from his back. Like a 50 year old plumber in a strap tee shirt.Da Vinci himself couldn't have painted his wings so beautifully. I just read an interesting article from Sports Illustrated.com by Al Michaels, the terrific sportscaster. He was filling in for Peter King while Peter is on vacation. First of all I was very impressed by how well Al wrote. I mean, this guy could have had a great career as a writer, a columnist or a blogger. Moreover, it would be nice to just sit down and chat with this guy. It was a lengthy piece and Al touched on a number of subjects with bluntness, knowledge and a toughness that does not condone B.S. 1. The NFL lockout 2. America's infatuation with football. 3. The Oakland Raiders. 4. His admiration for John Madden. 5.Restaurants. 6. Hotels. 7. Stadium Deals and NFL football in Los Angeles. 8. Chris Coll...
