The Sandstorm, N.O.V.A 3 and the Lion King

    Hey, everyone. When last I talked about the popular shooter game called Nova 3, I had been on a sweet run, passing several save points and approaching the highly coveted end of Chapter 4(?) I was sick of that derelict space ship and ached to move on.
    When I reached the transporter room with my two-faced friend, Maz-Rah, we encountered fierce resistance. We were killing Volterite scum and stacking them up like firewood.
    Maz-Rah continually whined, "Disable the transporters, or they'll just keep coming!"
    Over and over he said this until I muted the game. I mean, did he tell me how to disable the transporters?? Nooooo, he did not. So, in between shooting guys I tried several things to disable the devices. I threw grenades in them. I shot the blue lights above the doors. I went inside them all (7) and looked for buttons and switches. I went to every control panel in the room and checked for a breaker, switch or a crystal shard. No luck.
    Finally I went to You-Tube and watched a walkthrough of the this chapter by a guy who calls himself Lionking853. Lion King did a good job on the video and I want to thank him for showing me what to do about my Volterite infestation. The blue lights above the doors turn red from time to time. Shoot them out while they are red and the transporters are disabled. Don't forget the transporter on the top landing. That landing is a good place to run to while you recover your health, by the way. Then you can come back down and rejoin the battle.
     Now I have, at last, escaped the space ship and been sent to a desert planet that is used as a prison. A bad sandstorm is coming as I try to battle my way to a shelter.
    One last thought. I have downloaded a couple of free games this morning. I haven't played them but I thought I'd mention them before they go off sale.
1) Darkside
2) Toon Shooters
3) Marvel Kapow HD
     Have a great day! If you don't, please don't blame it on me. Ha, ha.
   From a sandstorm on a desert planet, I'm Kal Warden, CE Wills.

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...

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 ...

The Sweet Run

   Hey, everyone. I have been playing quite a bit of games this weekend, as well as painting my house. Late last night I got on a sweet run on Nova 3 , the sci-fi shooter game. It's one of those games that has excellent graphics and feels like you have to advance inch by bloody inch. In a word, it is a pain in the butt.     For instance, I have been stuck on a Volterite spaceship for a month, wandering corridors over and over again like a lost puppy.     I finally cruised over to You Tube and watched a video walkthrough of the level. I eventually noticed that the guy picked up a piece of crystal from the floor in a dark corner of a 'solarium'. So, I went back to the game and at length came back to that area and picked up a crystal shard. Cool, right? I went on my way rejoicing in my heart. I had wild visions of advancing effortlessly through the remainder of this derelict ship and moving on to other exciting levels. Maybe I'd get to go to a dese...
