Word Monster and The Expendables

    Hey, everyone. I had a nice day, even though we just hung around the house. Carley played a game called Word Monster. In this puzzler, you have a grid of letters and drag your finger around them to make words. The catch is, you have to make a word that completes a phrase for which they have already given you a portion, like ------ and role. Maybe this fictional example would be cameo. She loves the game and returned to the app store to buy several hundred of the puzzles. You get 40 for free. She played all 40 of them today, while I was doing something constructive, like avoiding the goat. There are 5 additional packs which she bought for 99 cents each. As you might expect, I am not so crazy about it, but that is just me. I have to report that this game takes the liberty of turning on your notifications so they can send you banners on your screen. Just go to settings, notifications and turn everything off, after you download the game.
     One of my favorite games, Razor Salvation, came out with a new update today. I have yet to play it with the update, but the reload time has been reduced, I understand.
    I downloaded a free game called Combat Mission Touch. I can't say if it is good or not, as I have not played it yet, having a previous commitment with a goat. Ha, ha. I do know that you have missions to fulfill and that you drag and place soldiers and tanks in order to fulfill your mission. My thought was, hey, it's free so I'll try it.
    This evening, I watched two movies. One was Mr. Baseball, with Tom Selleck. It is a charming show, about an aging American player who gets sent to Japan to play. Didn't you like Selleck's old TV show called Magnum, P.I.? I loved Higgins, Rick and T.C.
    Later in the evening I watched the Sly Stallone flick called The Expendables. I enjoyed it. Plenty of action. It is about a group of mercenaries who are hired by The Company (CIA) to kill the men who are running an island. It is a big job, but heck, the stars include guys like Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mickey Roarke. Jason Statham is in it and I really like him, as well. I wish I could enlist his aid in the battles on Trigger Fist. By the way, I really hated to hear about Stallone's son dying. There could be nothing tougher than to bury a child. My heartfelt condolences to the family.
    Well, it's late and I have a book to finish. Actually, I am writing Notch 8 and also the sequel to my popular teen romance called The Black Mushroom. In the latter, Breeze has been taken to live with her mother, separating her and her new-found love. Will he go after her? I certainly hope so. The original story was so short that I just sent it out for free. It bothered me to leave those kids hanging in mid-air, so to speak, so I am going to resolve their romance.

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

    This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Stick Bugs

    Here at our place we have these odd bugs that look very much like a stick with legs. They are whoppin' big things, 6 to 8 inches long. They're called stick bugs. They'll give you quite a start if you feel something on your head and feel around up there and contact one of them. They like to ride piggy-back on each other and I don't know why that is. I'm not crazy about them.     Last night I told you about the army of raccoons that ran away as I came home. Evidently they returned later because I found two tiny footprints on the dust of my car. I was relieved that they didn't write "Wash me".     Today I was changing the filter on my water system. My well is good despite the dry weather but I have iron water that requires a pretty good filter, a 5 micron. This takes out the sediment and makes your toilets look more civilized. Anyway, as I was doing this I heard a tremendous crash. It sounded like it was quite a way off so I didn't investi...
