More Deadly Than the Male

   Hey, everyone. Tonight I played Infinity Blade 2 for a couple of hours. I am really enjoying it for the most part. I felt that I would share a few thoughts on the game, even though I previously reviewed it.
1) The Rebirth Thing. What an odd feature! For those who haven't played this game, let me explain. You experience rebirths regularly. I am now on my 5th one. It works like this. You approach a castle. You battle 4 or 5 monsters to reach the big kahuna monster (boss) of the place. If you kill him or not, you wake up in a crypt and start over again, outside the castle. Oh, sure, you still have your upgraded weapons, armor, magic ring, helm, shield etc. Sure, this time through you fight different foes, in different areas of the keep. Yet it seems mildly repetitive. Your goal is to free the sleeper, and perhaps I'll get there, by and by. Incidentally you keep your hard-earned gold when you re-awaken. Which brings us to another observation.
2) Take your time before each fight and look around for sacks of gold, healing potions, treasure chests and the like. The careless blokes who own the property just leave valuables lying around. I never considered myself a rogue but I need the coinage.
3) Is it just me, or are those 15-foot-tall warrior women really hot?
    In conclusion, let me say that this is a good game with incredible graphics and no blood and gore to speak of. I'm glad I bought it. I find myself liking this genre more and more. Leveling up, buying swords, helmets etc. is fun. I will say that the makers of this game don't like for you to hoard your hard-earned cash. They want you to upgrade.
4) I seemed to do okay without any in-app purchases, which I appreciate.
    From that same old castle, I;m CE Wills.
P.S. I renamed my character in this game. I call him Cedric, after my western character in the Notch Series.

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...
