Will Max Be a Payne In the Subway?

   Hey, everyone. Late last night, after I blogged about the honeysuckle, I played my new game called Max Payne Mobile. First of all, let me say that this is a great game and you should drag out a few of those dusty shekels that you carry around in your faded jeans and buy it for the excellent price of $2.99.
    "Well," you say to me, "What's with the title of the post?" Here's the recipe.
    I am on the initial part of this game. I have wandered into some sort of gang war in New York's subway. Unfortunately, it is one of those games where you wander around, trying to figure out what to do or where to go. I feel like a lost puppy, only I have a shotgun, a Desert Eagle pistol and I have just ventilated about 15 goons. Hey, they weren't zombies, but they came around, acting bad, and I had to put them down, you know?
    In the screen shot above, as I was walking down this hallway, I started hearing a voice. It sounds just exactly like Wolfman Jack's voice. Jack was a famous Disc Jockey from the 1950's or 1960's. His voice probably doesn't truly sound like a wolf, but it is certainly gravelly. You may want to check out the Ron Howard flick called American Graffiti in order to hear the Wolfman's voice. But I digress. So, I hear this disembodied voice, apparently coming from the @!**** walls or those posters you see. I feel that 1) I am losing my mind or 2) There is someone standing outside my window and trying to scare the crappola out of me or 3) If I could find the voice it would give me instructions on how to get through this level and proceed on my butt-kicking, name-taking journey.
    So, I'm stuck again. I plan on going to you tube and searching for a video walkthrough on the game. Hey, I'd rather cheat than be stuck.
     There is a cool feature about this game called Bullet Time. This is a button you can push to put the action in slow motion. You can dive through a doorway and blast baddies while in mid-air. I mean, this is really cool. I also love how the crooks are blown almost out of their socks when you blast them. I mean, a shotgun would certainly propel them away from you and I feel this adds a nice bit of realism to the action.
    The story line of this game is very good, though dark, and the graphics are wonderful. The wandering around, trying to figure out what to do, draws a vacuum, if you know what I mean. The price is terrific and there is a huge amount of content. Check it out. If you enjoyed the awesome 9MM game, you'll like this one. If you should figure out how to get the subway situation resolved, or how to find Wolfman Jack, could you please leave a comment? This subway is creepy, what with all the dead bodies and disembodied voices. If you don't hear the voices and you are a shrink, give me a call.

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...

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...
