Fall, Y'all

    Hey, everyone. As Sunday night becomes Monday I reflect back on the weekend. It has been okay. I watched a little football, played a few games on the Padster and hung around with my wife. We watched some movies. I like old westerns and tonight I watched part of an old Randolf Scott offering called The Nevadan. I was surprised because it wasn't that good. Usually I really enjoy all of Mr. Scott's films. It was in color, which is odd for his flicks. I gave up on it about the half-way point.
     Carley has played a bunch of a game called Word Jewels 2. She played 101 levels of this game. Can you believe it? It has a board with letters arranged in a honeycomb. the red colored letters can be strung into words, disposing of the letters. You only have a certain number of moves until you lose. She enjoys it so much that she only mumbles occasionally, which means it's a 5 star game. It is either free or 99 cents, I forget.
    What did I play tonight? I went back and drug out a golden oldie called Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter. It is still one of the top five games on I-Pad, in my humble opinion. Tracking the most dangerous game through swamps and savannahs, hoping they don't catch your scent is pretty cool. You can even hunt at night. I have already done a review of the game, back in the day, and have played it all the way through. I even killed the massive T-Rex by shooting him in the eye. The velociraptors are bad to the bone, also.
    I played some more of The Dark Knight Rises tonight. That's the Batman game. Tonight I was planting explosives on Bane's vehicles and beating the crud out of his men. It was rainy and cold in Gotham again tonight. Surprise! (Not) With Bruce Wayne's money, I'd be in Jamaica tonight. Whatever.
      I also played the excellent freemium game called Blood and Glory: Legends. I really wish that they had just charged $5 for a complete game. But noooooooooooo. It is huge fun, though, and I think you'd like it.
     Friday, I bought Stupid Zombies 2. This is a lot of fun for 99 cents. You have to ricochet bullets off walls in such a way as to kill undead type persons. It is totally worth a dollar.
    Doubtless you think I must live a boring life, if you follow the blog very much. Well, yeah...
     Winter is lurking, I guess. The leaves are just passing their peak color, I think. We cruised in the mountains a bit yesterday and took about 50 photos. Carley wanted to try out her new I-Phone 4S for the panoramic shots. It was bizarre what happened. It cut some cars in half and just showed parts of them. I'll see if it will publish at the end of the blog.
     Hope you guys and girls have a nice week.
I'm CE Wills.

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 ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...

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...
