Plight of Zombies

   Hey, everyone. I have been trying a couple of free things. One of them is a free IOS game called Plight of Zombies. It is a simple puzzle game in which you have control of zombies and are trying to guide them to food. (Brains) Yeah, I know. It does sound a little gross. Any normal humans which you encounter are turned into zombies. There are obstacles to bypass and power-ups to obtain. In the store you can use your in-game cash to buy stuff like sunglasses, a Sheriff's hat, snorkels and night vision goggles for your undead friends.
     This game reminds me of Spy Mouse, quite a bit. It is rather fun, and free for a limited time. Be sure to get the full version, rather than the lite, since both are now free. There are 150 levels to the game. I have played the first 14 levels.
       When you guide your pet zombie around the maps, there are civilians with shotguns which you must avoid. You have to watch the civilian's range of vision, (clearly marked by red lines) pausing your zombie as needed, lest you get him ventilated. Ha. ha. The civilians just shot my guy when he pushed through a pile of tires and tried to get a brain. His little bones came flying out. Then a message came up on the screen which merely stated "Bullets not yummie!"  I would have to concur with that. If you can approach the humans from the rear, you can overcome them and turn them into zombies. One question occurred to me. Why the heck would normal people keep spare brains lying around a warehouse? Are they trying to lead poor zombies astray? Is it a thing like putting out bait for mice? Perhaps we'll find out the answers to these interesting questions, later in the game.
     All you have to do is trace a path with your finger on the screen and your zombie will follow it. This seems to be unwise for them to do this. I mean, I could just lead him off a cliff or something. But really, Zombies are not great thinkers.
     I am also reading a free book called The Reluctant by C.S. Splitter. It started out very slow, but now, at the point where I am 3/4 done, it is becoming quite good. I'll do a full review in a couple of days. It is about a private pilot who gets involved with some really odd people, simply because he wants to make enough money to keep his plane.

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 ...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

    Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up.     His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000.    It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...

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...
