Wild Sky

     Hey, everyone. I noticed an ad the other day for an odd Halloween activity. These folks had a big corn field. For a modest price, they would let you come out and shoot paintball guns at Zombies. No, the zombies weren't real. They were people dressed as zombies. They were actors that would shamble out of the corn field toward you, so that you could feel justified in blasting them. I thought that it was a cool idea.
    So, tonight is Halloween. I hope all the little goblins stay safe out there. Boy, has things changed for this holiday? I am afraid that all the ghouls are not imaginary these days.
     I am sick of the election stuff. Be glad when that is over. In self-defense, I have been playing a lot of Apocalypse Max, still. I have made it to the section called "The Facility". Wouldn't it be great if all the IOS games let you play them this far?
     I've been reading a bit this week. An older Western by J.R. Roberts called The Gunsmith #33 ( The Posse). I had bought it at a used book store for a $1.80. I enjoyed it. When I finished it, I went to the public library and checked out a book by James Lee Burke, one of my favorite authors. It is called Creole Belle. This is another installment in Burke's excellent series about Dave Robicheaux, the Louisiana cop. Good stuff, and I'll do a review when I finish it.
     I bought a game called New York Zombies 2. I was disappointed in it. Mostly, because of the controls. Luckily, I only paid $1.99 for it. Another disappointment was NOAA Hi-Def Radar. Likewise, it was $1.99.
     I was over on Touch Arcade's site last night. They were talking about Bladeslinger, the Western-themed game. This is the game I mentioned a while back. I was wondering why it had never been put out on the store. It has great graphics and appears to be a rousing shooter game. I have misgivings about all the demonic stuff represented. I don't like to play a whole lot of games that focus on occult things. Of course, the good guy is trying to destroy the forces of darkness, which is a worthy cause. This game is free on the Canadian app store as we speak. They are trying to iron out potential quirks before going to wide-spread distribution, I suppose. At any rate, I imagine I'll try it when it becomes available. If you want to see the video for the game, click the link to the right under the heading of my favorite sites.
    In closing, I'd like to say that I hope you enjoy the picture above. Isn't it funny how strange weather patterns seem to produce natural beauty, as well as trouble?
    I'm CE Wills.
P.S. If you want, check out the label to the right called "Spooky". There are several old posts there that may give you a Halloween chill. Bye.

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 ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

    Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley.     Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

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...
