Razor Salvation: An Early Impression

    Hey again, everyone. This morning the new shooter game entitled Razor Salvation went live on the app store. I've played it for a few minutes and thought I'd give some first impressions.
    It is evident that this game is meant to be massively multi-player, with the ability to organize your friends into 'factions' and compete. You can take part in groups for all major geographical areas. I.E. Australia, Europe, United States etc.
    This game can also be played alone, which is my style. It is a sci-fi game, as you can see from the screenshot above. Your spacecraft has returned to Earth from a mission and aliens have decimated our civilization. In addition, there is a zombie plague going on and it is your duty to evacuate survivors. You can tell these folks because they are wearing C-Zone clothing, which is yellow.
    While loading these good folks, you must kill numerous bad guys. These Xenos (aliens) include Grunts, Snipers, Drones, Crawlers, Walkers, Teleporters and Scythes. I have played the initial level numerous times and failed to conquer it so far. Be ready to rock and roll because there are at least 15 bad guys and very little time to find and kill them. The darn snipers can shoot you from a mile away. They prowl the rooftops of skyscrapers. If you shoot the grunts, the zombies and mutants come out to play.
    There is an array of weapons at your disposal. Of course there are the now inevitable upgrades and in app purchases, which is cool because they sell you this game for 99 cents at the moment. That price is temporary, by the by.
    The graphics are quite good and the controls seem okay. You can also get cash and ammo by shooting crates and doing missions, such as making a kill by shooting a barrel and blowing an enemy to smithereens.
    There are supposed to be several more of this series produced in the near future. That said, the initial menu only shows three battle zones; New York, Frankfurt and Shenzhen. This seems to be like the 'maps' of some of the on-line games. I wonder about the depth of the game, but it certainly doesn't take much to be worth a dollar.
    Don't be too discouraged at the start because initially it is irritating. You are going to constantly be 'evacuated' when you fail to protect all the civilians and kill enough enemies. Each time you must walk back through the menu and reload screen, which is a minor irritation.
    Overall, I feel this game has great potential. At this price I would definitely check it out and make your own determination. Especially for those who dig multi-player.
   By the way, you can buy different camos, even pink ones for the discerning gamer. I bought some sandy colored ones for 3 medals.

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 ...

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...

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...
