Game Review: Cubis Creatures

    Hey, everyone. I finished Notch 7 last night, in the wee hours. Of course, I still have to type it, proof it, send it to Smashwords and Amazon etc. Still, I have found time to play a new game which I bought for 99 cents. It is the above -mentioned Cubis Creatures and it is a good game. You can actually get a free version of this game but I was flush with cash on this particular day so I sprang for the 99 cent version. Ha, ha.
    When I get aggravated with the shooters, on which I get stuck, I like to play puzzle games and this is one of the better ones. That said, it has a Biology class feel to it because it looks as though you are performing surgery on a furry creature who has the misfortune to be infested with brightly colored cubes. But hey, my Granny kept her kidney stones on the mantel in a jelly jar, so I can deal with this.
    Here's the recipe. There are 80 levels, with more puzzle packs available. There is a grid inside the creature's belly. As cubes appear, the player must slide them to the appropriate 'lane' and then tap the screen to shoot the cube into the grid. When you match three, similarly colored cubes, they disappear. The grid is 3D and you can shoot cubes under other cubes, at times. There are stone cubes, which you need to blast with lasers. There are 'osmosis' cubes which pulsate with energy and have the power to change the color of the cube they contact. Plus, wonder upon wonders for all you shooter dudes, there are bomb cubes which explode and clear out a mess of other cubes. There are 'fractured' cubes which shatter when you slide your cube into them. These sorts of changes in the game keep it fun as you go along.
    One thing I don't like is the fact that the games are timed. When you get down to 15 seconds, it goes click, click, click. Argh!, the pressure!
    This is a game you'll enjoy, I wager. Try the free version and then you will likely splurge, as I did, and get the full version.

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...
