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...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

    Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up.     His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000.    It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...
