The Shuriken, the Sale and the Hiding Place

    Hey, everyone. Just a quick note or two. I had a few questions about Shurikens, as mentioned in my blog about the game Major Mayhem. A shuriken is a weapon, used by the Ninja. It is metal, star-shaped and is thrown at the victim. The ninja in the game are throwing these stars at the Major.
    Also, I was mistaken about the Trigger Fist game being free for only a day, obviously. It is still on sale. I read somewhere that the developers were wanting to build up their base of on-line players. At that time there was about 35,000 people playing on line, according to that source. I don't play on line but I was surprised to learn there were that many who did. Amazing, the social function that gaming serves.
    While I am talking about Trigger Fist, have you been over to the page which lists achievements? There are quite a few ways to earn XP points, including playing one game on-line. I recently starting working on this list, other than the on-line play. The one that I had to think about was Melee Kills. You know, when you are in combat, using your body, or the butt of your gun as a weapon? The AI players are so darn fast, how could I rush one and kill him before being shot? I finally got this achievement by hiding behind the tall crates shown above. The enemy can't see you back there, if you kneel. One of the bad guys had come out of the door and kneeled down with his back to me. He was waiting to poach on members of my team but I sneaked up and applied the coup de gras. This fulfilled the melee thing. (The icon at the bottom of the screen with the big arm is what you tap to punch.)
    That same hiding place is a great place to build up points so that you can level up. You can pop up and down, causing havoc among the enemy and racking up points. They will eventually rush you en masse, but you'll have a 6 to one ratio of kills to start your battle, which looks good for your points and your team. It is a lot of fun, here at the green retreat. I'll be back before the weekend is over and I hope you have a good day.

Shadowgun: Killing The Windbreaker

Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to. Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends. I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As you know by now, their strategy

Men In Black 3, Just Empty Black Suits?

Hey, everyone, out there in the world! Nice of you to stop by. Today I downloaded Men In Black 3 for I-Pad. There were a number of positive reviews on the app store, but there were several reviews that complained about the game failing to open. This was my experience. It opened to the screen shown above and froze there. At least it was free. I have an I-Pad 3, so maybe you will have better luck with yours. EA games is having a big sale for the holiday weekend. I already have most of the titles which are on sale, however. I did buy several games this weekend, though, and I'd like to tell you about them. Get Out of My Galaxy is a Mario type of space game in which you control a monster with 4 arms. The dude eats rocks and has a penchant for slapping little cone-headed aliens. There are a certain number of aliens to slap on every planet, then you move on to the next world. There are power-ups to grab as you go along, for health and other things. There is prickly vegetatio

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 here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol
