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.

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...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...

Fishdom,the Smart Cover and the Natural Blond

      Hey, everyone. I have played several different games lately. Mighty Mouse has gone 'free' and I've played it a little. It's okay. You fly through the air and punch bad guys, mines dropped by Oil Can Harry's plane, and try to avoid hitting anything unless you are pushing a button that gives you super speed. There are a lot of levels but they get harder, fast, and that takes some of the fun away. Still, for free, I can't complain. Also, Polly Purebred is fairly attractive, for a mouse. I wonder if she is a natural blond? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.      Fishdom Harvest HD is an older game that we've had for a while. This is a fun, relaxing game that has you swapping tiles so that you can complete levels and advance. As this happens, you earn in-game cash and decorate your fish tank with fish, plants and equipment. I like it a lot.      I understand that Shadowgun is now coming out with a version that is o...
