Four Free Games

     Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store.
1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore. You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night.
2) The Heist- A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puzzles. Namely, Block sliding, Tile-sliding, Unblock Me and Symbol Arrangement. In the tile sliding venue you must shift the tiles so that an electrical wire is formed to carry current. With the symbols, you could use Indiana Jones to decipher the hieroglyphics. Ha, ha. My wife says that you must arrange the ancient symbols so that there are no like-symbols aligned in any direction. (Side to side, up and down or diagonally.)
3) JAM: Jets, Aliens, Missiles- A side-scrolling battle in which your ship must blast enemies from the sky. I liked being able to target multiple enemies with a slide of my finger. I haven't had time to play it much, being hindered by the bizarre practice of working for a living.
4) Final Run-  An apocalyptic game in which you must drive a car across a scorched zone filled with dangers, hoping to return a Doctor to the outside world. I bought this game at release and thought it was pretty cool. Unfortunately, I got stymied after a little while and couldn't seem to progress, so I just quit. It is a huge game, a bit different, with an interesting story. I'd definitely try it for free and I hope you do better than I. Those of you who play well will doubtless have fun with it.
      There you go, something for everyone. Another cup of coffee is calling to me, here at the author's green retreat.

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...
