AR Dead Raid: First Impressions

     Hey, everyone. I am so glad that the weekend is here. Hoping for some fun and relaxation. This morning I downloaded two new zombie games. One of the games is probably going to be a little different for you. The reason is that the zombies appear in your home. What I mean is this: The game utilizes the I-Pad's built-in camera and then puts the zombies wherever you are. The first time I fired it up, I was sitting on the sofa with Carley. We were both a little freaked when a small zombie appeared  on the coffee table at her feet, grew quickly to full size, then attacked us. No, I am not kidding.
      As you turn in a circle with your device, you shoot your pistol at the fiendish undead. There is a button that you can tap to bring up a set of iron sights, which are very useful. If you don't get head shots, you won't get very far. I have yet to beat the first level. I just recently discovered a helpful tool, however, and now have hope. The game has a time slow down, called Cruel Time. This is very nice and will be essential to success, in my opinion.
     Once, while turning circles in the living room and blasting creatures, I saw a cute little granny walk across the screen, carrying a basket of laundry. It took me aback for a split second, until I realized that it was my wife. Ha, ha. After all these years of knowing her, I was unaware that she could walk through zombies at will.
     There are no in-app purchases that I can see and the cost of the game is free until September 23, so you had better hustle.
    I have one more thing to talk about with this game. The sight of a zombie in such close proximity to familiar sights may be a bit intense for smaller kids. I think that it could give them a nightmare or two. Remember when your kids wanted you to come and remove the monster from under the bed? Well, with this game, they could literally see a zombie come from under the bed.
    The graphics, being your yard, living room or...wife (with laundry) are truly breath-taking. I hope those darn zombies didn't damage my guitar...

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 ...

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...

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...
