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.

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 ...

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...

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week.      I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...
