Hambo HD, Make My Day


    Hey, everyone. I just grabbed a freebie called Hambo HD. This simple physics puzzler has taken the app store by storm, vaulting into a number of 5 star reviews on the first day of release.
     You'll be immediately struck by the game's similarity to Stupid Zombies, another good game. Here's the recipe.
    You play as a cute little pig. This pig is a scrappy little guy. He wears a red bandana around his head and carries a Beretta. His mission is to kill the army pigs which dare to oppose him, like his name sake, John Rambo, might do. In order to fulfill his mission and rescue his friend Bacon, Hambo will have to bounce his bullets off walls and steel girders. He can shoot through glass walls. I just played a level in which I had to shoot the glass beneath my feet, then fall to the grass below. Then I was able to shoot the piggies. As you might expect, billiard players will excel at the ricochet style of play.
     This game is free, fun and has a bit of a 'cool factor'. In the store you can buy new costumes for Hambo. You can dress him like Harrison Ford and call him Raider of the Lost Pork. Or maybe you want to dress him in shining armor and call him Sir Spam-a-lot. There are over 200 levels and I think this may be a big hit. For those of you who hate to get stuck on games, there is a solution button which will play through the proper scenario of a level. You get a certain number of these for free. There are also 'skips', like Angry Birds.
    My wife pointed out that you should download the version that says Hambo HD. If you get the version that says Hambo Begins, you only get 42 levels. Both are free, so get the full version.
    Well, I have to go and eat my bacon and egg sandwich, then go and do chores. Talk to you later.
    I'm CE Wills.

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 ...

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...

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...
