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.

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...
