Game Review:Thor, Son of Asgard

    Hey,everyone, out there in the ether. All of you nameless, faceless beings who read my words, probably out of boredom. Today I want to talk about Thor, Son of Asgard.
    I have eyeballed this game for months and started to buy it many times. Even though it was relatively cheap, I refrained, due to bad reviews and the general look of the screen shots.
   Recently, they dropped the price to 99 cents (From $2.99) and I swooped in and bought it. To my surprise the game has been a real hoot. (Fun). Here's the recipe.
   You play as the Mighty Thor. Thor returns to Asgard only to find that fabled land under siege. Like everyone else, Thor has some kin folk he doesn't like and Loki, his brother, is the worst. Loki has been plotting against Asgard  and Thor's papa, Odin. Loki has arranged for the realm to be overrun with trolls and other unsavory creatures.
   More importantly, from a 'guy' standpoint, Thor's woman, Sif, has left town with a bunch of Frost Giants. As Thor sets out in pursuit, you must battle through (6 ?) levels of Frost Giants, Trolls in Elfland and others. It seems a little short but is definitely long enough for me. But, here's the coolest part of this game.
1) You can spin your hammer, just like the comics, to block attacks. Man, is that fun after all the years of reading the comics and wanting to do that?!
2) You can fly for short distances by the power of the hammer.
3) You can smash the ground with the hammer and unleash an earthquake, lightning, etc. This destroys your enemies and is massively cool.
    When I catch up to Sif, I'm going to give her a piece of my mind. Flirting is one thing, but running off with Frost Giants is not cool. Yuk, Yuk. That black-haired wench looks great in a suit of armor but I can't abide this. From the forests of Elfland, this is CE Wills, The Mighty Thor, who is extremely sore.

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...

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...
