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.

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...

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 ...

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...
