The 'Free Game Gluttony' of CE Wills

    Hey, everyone. I finally got some problems corrected with internet issues today. Consequently, I was able to sit and browse the web on my I-Padster this evening. After a couple of weeks of not being able to frequent my favorite haunts like App Shopper, Flipboard, Touch Arcade, 148 Apps and others, I went overboard and downloaded numerous games, most of them free.
1) Carley said to mention one for the puzzlers, so here it is. Free for today and Sunday only. Awakening, the Dreamless Castle. This is a hidden object game but it also has numerous side puzzles. I can tell she likes it because she talked to the game as she played all evening. Nuff said.
2) Braveheart. I haven't had time to play it, but get it while it's free.
3) Mech Guardian. Likewise, I haven't played it. Free.
4) Army vs. Zombie. I actually played a bit of this one. It has nice graphics. There are elements of the tower defense genre and it is certainly worth a look for free.
5) Wolfenstein 3D Platinum. Free for a limited time. Be careful to get the version that does not say free in the title. That one is always free and is not the full version. I normally don't like retro games but this one is highly rated, and free, so I plan on playing it tonight. It's a shooter, by the way.
6) Juggernaut, Revenge of Sovering. This is a popular freemium game. It is a role playing game (RPG) and I am looking forward to playing it. The graphics look superb in the screen shots, as well they should, when the file size is a whopping 360 MB.
7) Finally, I bought a game tonight. It is the very popular game called Crow. It was on sale for a reasonable 99 cents. I haven't tried it but the reviews are really good for this, so I'll try it for that sale price. Typically, I shy away from horror themed games but I thought I'd check this dude out.
     The reason I mention these games without a review of them is simple. If I wait until I've played them, you will miss the opportunity to get them for free. As I play these, I'll come back and review some of them. Free games that really pull a vacuum, I just won't review, because no one should bad-mouth a gift.
     About the picture at the top of the page. This is Yelena, an incarnate computer chick from N.O.V.A. 3. What about those graphics?
     From the virtual streets of future San Francisco, this is CE Wills, the game glutton.

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...

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 ...

The Sweet Run

   Hey, everyone. I have been playing quite a bit of games this weekend, as well as painting my house. Late last night I got on a sweet run on Nova 3 , the sci-fi shooter game. It's one of those games that has excellent graphics and feels like you have to advance inch by bloody inch. In a word, it is a pain in the butt.     For instance, I have been stuck on a Volterite spaceship for a month, wandering corridors over and over again like a lost puppy.     I finally cruised over to You Tube and watched a video walkthrough of the level. I eventually noticed that the guy picked up a piece of crystal from the floor in a dark corner of a 'solarium'. So, I went back to the game and at length came back to that area and picked up a crystal shard. Cool, right? I went on my way rejoicing in my heart. I had wild visions of advancing effortlessly through the remainder of this derelict ship and moving on to other exciting levels. Maybe I'd get to go to a dese...
