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.

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...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...

Fishdom,the Smart Cover and the Natural Blond

      Hey, everyone. I have played several different games lately. Mighty Mouse has gone 'free' and I've played it a little. It's okay. You fly through the air and punch bad guys, mines dropped by Oil Can Harry's plane, and try to avoid hitting anything unless you are pushing a button that gives you super speed. There are a lot of levels but they get harder, fast, and that takes some of the fun away. Still, for free, I can't complain. Also, Polly Purebred is fairly attractive, for a mouse. I wonder if she is a natural blond? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.      Fishdom Harvest HD is an older game that we've had for a while. This is a fun, relaxing game that has you swapping tiles so that you can complete levels and advance. As this happens, you earn in-game cash and decorate your fish tank with fish, plants and equipment. I like it a lot.      I understand that Shadowgun is now coming out with a version that is o...
