Jubilee

    Hey, everyone. The other night I watched a video clip on the internet of the Queen's Jubilee Concert from London. I got a real kick out of seeing Tom Jones. Back in the day, he had his own TV show and the women swooned at his feet. He is probably 65 or so now but looked slim and fit. Man, his voice sounded deep and rich. He performed the old song by Three Dog Night called Mama Told Me Not To Come and it was great.
    Elton John was there and did one of my old favorites entitled Your Song. Elton's voice seems to have gotten a little deeper with age but it was still good and strong.
     Of course, Sir Paul was there and I always enjoy his stuff. He finished with the James Bond theme for Live and Let Die, complete with fireworks. I sat and watched, thinking that I would have loved to have been there. I get a lot of readers from Great Britain and doubtless, some of you who are reading this were there. Lucky you.
    I do want to say that I wish the Queen well. I also want to wish her husband a swift recovery.
    By the way, I read that Ray Bradbury died. He was a pioneer in this sci-fi game and he will be missed. Several famous folks have passed away lately.
     I'm looking forward to the rest of the French Open. What a brutal test of stamina, playing on that red clay. Federer and Novak Djokovic barely survived, now they must battle each other tomorrow. Will it be a classic? I expect so. The elegant game of Federer versus the power and tenacity of Novak.
    Duty calls and I must work a bit. So I bid you a good evening from the author's green retreat.
    I'm CE Wills.

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 ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...

Shadowgun: Killing The Windbreaker

    Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to.     Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends.      I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As...
