Megatroid: Good Game For Free

    Hey, everyone. So-called platform games are usually not my cup of tea. These are the Mario-stlye games in which your cute character runs and jumps on various platforms, hence the name. Yesterday I downloaded a freebie of this genre and have really enjoyed it. The name, as the erudite among you already suspect, is called Megatroid. There are in-app purchases for better weapons and the like but you can play a good long ways without spending any dinero.
    The graphics are excellent and the controls are fine. You are a space warrior, a lady, who is battling strange robots in a strange place. There are numerous hazards and I'll try to remember a few. You start out with a rifle which fires ion blasts. There are spaceships and droids. There are big mechanical heads which float in the air and shoot purple plasma blasts at you. Not only that, but there are rotating saw blades in the floors as well as spikes on walls. There are also cool anti-grav blasts of air that lift you up to other levels as you step on them. Other blasts of air blow you sideways.
     Coolest of all is when you get to the end of a level and go through a Warp Gate to another planet. It's like a big wormhole in space which you go through. Zapppp!!!! When you do this, hit the random button to generate a name for the new planet, like YMHPZ. Sounds like one of Superman's old enemies. You know, the little guy with the funny bowler hat?
    Megatroid is a good game and you should give it a try. It is not a huge file, either.

It's So Easy

     Hey, everyone, out there in etherland. I've been playing some new songs this morning on my keyboard. You may remember a Buddy Holly tune called It's So Easy . I hadn't matched the title to the song before today so I was delighted when I saw that it was the one that goes like this: "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love." It rocks pretty good. A later version of it, after amps and guitars had improved, really rocked. It seems like Joan Jett may have done a version. Anyway, I was playing this song and I thought about a fun thing I like to do. Sometimes I'll start to play a song and tell Carley, or the grandkids, whoever may be there, a silly story about it.      For instance, I would say that once upon a time Buddy Holly came to me and said, "CE, I need a hit, my man. The kids need shoes. I want to go on American bandstand, you know what I'm saying?"     "Yeah, Buddy, I hear you. But the thing is, I think ...

Movie Review: Limitless

    Hey, everyone. I ventured off the mountain today, down into the haunts of men. I'll tell you about a movie I saw, then later I'll tell you about some other stuff. The movie is Unlimited . This is a story that you would have to call science fiction, but in the not so distant future you may call it reality.      Bradley Cooper plays Edward Morra. If you looked up loser in the dictionary you would see this guy's picture. He has freeloaded off his girlfriend for years. He claims to be a writer but can't seem to put words on paper. His woman leaves him; he is a scroungy, dirty dude with no future, no drive and no money. He is about to be evicted from his scummy apartment.     Then he bumps into an old friend. The friend wants him to try a new drug which comes in the form of a small, clear pill. What Edward doesn't know is that the pill is pretty awesome. The drug is designed to unlock the true potential of the human brain. We only use a...

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...
