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.

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away. We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

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 ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley. Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...
