Game Review: Armed Beasts

    Hey, everyone. I have been playing a new game called Armed Beasts. This is a free game with good graphics and cute game play. You star as one of the Eben. These are critters with human characteristics, such as walking erect and carrying weapons, which I hope I don't ever see in real life. You are fighting to save your world from animals who have gone off their rockers and have multiplied like, er, rabbits. You progress from map to map, battling with dual stick ferocity like Minigore. It seems to be a fun game. I only just a moment ago had a serious run-in with a huge, roly-poly sheep. He had lesser-sized, sheep underlings on his side and they ganged up on me. I used my six-guns again and again, reloading countless times until I feared the barrels might melt down, and still the wooly rascals defeated me. Bummer. I always preferred a cotton/polyester blend, anyway.
    I look forward to playing more of the maps because the names are intriguing. Places like Ice Mountain, Lost Temple and Molten Cave. I just changed my character from Eben, a rabbit with a green beret and two 9MM handguns, to Salvatore. He is a big, ugly bulldog but he packs two assault rifles, which I anticipate needing in my confrontation with that huge sheep.
     In the store for this game, the stuff like health additives and the like are available. If you resort to buying coins, rather than earning them through game play, be advised that the smallest pack of coins is $2.99. I wish that all the games would feature a pack of coins for, say, 99 cents. If I play a free game very long, I make it a point to buy something. By the way, I saw a coin pack for $99.00. Are my eyes deceiving me? I'd have to be supremely aggravated at a sheep to pay that kind of money for a weapon.
    Ha, ha. I just saw that my new associate, Salvatore, carries a weapon called a "Chicago typewriter". Due to it's pleasing chatter as you mow down the sheep, I suppose. Before I tackle that big sheep-person again, I plan on adding some 'damage', 'ammo' and 'reload speed' to my character's weapons. Then I will walk out and face the sheep. It should be shear magic. That's a joke and an intentional misspelling, I think.
    For those of you who have been playing Major Mayhem, you may want to check this game out.

P.S. Hey, I had to mention a few more things. This game has a lot going for it. I just hit a level where there are ghosts and monsters, as well as a big vampire that came after my character. There are also lizards in lab coats (where's Spiderman when you need him?) , animals with suitcase nukes and a nice variety of foes. You really should try it.

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 ...

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...

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...
