Puzkend (That's a Game)

    As you know, my wife, Carley, is a puzzle person. She constantly tries to convert me to this type of game. Well, tonight she was telling me all about her game called Puzkend. This game involves thinking and stuff like that, so it won't be one of my favorites. I do like it, though, and it is free. The graphics are nice too. If you can see the picture okay, you have to slide your finger over matching groups of symbols. When you do, they disappear, allowing other symbols to fall. You must do this strategically so that you can clear the board. Here's the rub, as we say in the states, and this is what makes it different from the standard 'match 3' game. I mean, the falling tiles have to go to the right place to match or you fail. Fortunately there is a button that allows you to back up as many moves as you want to.
    I've played the game quite a bit and I am now in a region where the puzzles are getting more difficult. So, while my wife is extolling the game's merits, I am interrupting her so that I can tell her about my exploits on Razor: Salvation. Was she duly impressed when I revealed that I am in the top ten on the leader-board in one area of Razor Salvation? Noooooooo. She was not. "But that's worldwide, honey," I said. She wanted to tell me that Puzkend was a 4.5 stars out of 5, as far as her rating goes. I asked her if she could fire rockets in her game. She replied in the negative and went to bed. Sigh.
    Puzkend is made by the folks who made Azkend, which is another good game. It is also free right now and you should grab it. It was one of the first games I bought for I-Pad and I played it a lot. Carley played it all the way through, which took a while.
     Hey, guess what else? I bought a new game this morning called Affliction: Zombie Rising. It is billed as the world's first virtual reality zombie game. It is supposed to be really spooky. I think that I am going to put my ear-buds in and turn out the lights, then play the game. I figure for the sale price of 99 cents I can throw it away if it scares me too bad. Ha, ha. I'll let you know how it turns out.
     From you know where, this is you know who. Goodnight.

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 ...

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...

Egg Art

     Hey, everyone. One of the odd customs in America is the Easter Egg Hunt. Here at the Green Retreat, we do a hunt every Spring. I just ran across some of the pictures from this years hunt and it is obvious that an artist had sneaked into our midst. The orange egg is a rendering of one of the Angry Birds of gaming lore. If I were a bird and had to pass an egg that size, I would be angry too. Ha, ha.      We typically will dye about 10 dozen eggs and people get quite creative with their quotes and colors, as you can see. Many of the eggs are a bit risque for these pages. After having a few laughs, we hide the eggs. All of them are never found, which is cool. It is amusing to see old men (me) and all ages of folks, walking around with a basket on their arm. Some of the hiding spots are dastardly. Like eggs hidden in the guttering downspouts and ten foot up a tree. The kids are perhaps the most devious at hiding the colorful orbs, goi...
