Invader Hunter

    Hey, everyone. I bought a game a couple of days ago. It is named Invader Hunter and it has been around for a while. I had started to buy it months ago when it came out but I read a review of it that was harsh and decided to wait until it went on sale. It is now on sale for 99 cents and I feel like that is a nice price. Here's the recipe.
    As a space marine at a space station you are sent out on missions by your commanding officer. The problem is, there are monsters that keep gaining access to the ship, like cockroaches, except they are huge, ugly and powerful. My personal favorite is a big goon that looks like rocks cobbled together. When he hits the floor, red stalagmites appear all over the room. Seems like an unusual gift. Ha, ha. There is another bad guy, pictured above, that I had to seek a place of sanctuary from. I can't recommend the view from down there, but at least I stayed alive long enough to use my rolling ability and eventually take him down.
    Fortunately, you can equip yourself with cool weapons, like an Orc gun, a Cherry gun or a Cobalt gun. Your aim automatically goes to the enemy when you press the button, then, when you release the button, the gun fires. There are special helmets, gloves etc., which you can buy with the generous supply of in-game cash.
      The graphics of this game are exceptional. The animations of the explosions are some of the best I've seen, with flashing lights that roll inside the explosion cloud as the enemy hits the deck. One monster flings out a grid of electrical charges which lays around the room, about three feet off the floor. It will rock your world.
      I must say that there are some hesitations in the flow of the game with my I-Pad 3, but overall, it plays okay.
     I like that you have an easy level to select. I like the fact that there are zero in-app purchases. It is a fun game and definitely worth the sale price of 99 cents. Is it as deep or as smooth as Nova 3? No, but it is a worthy buy and will give you a pleasant evening, I think.
    Check back later as I have a couple of other games to talk about. 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 ...

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...

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...
