Spiderman and Dating Siri

    Hey, everyone. I'm glad I didn't pay $6.99 for The Amazing Spiderman. I have played it for a while today and I don't like it much. I find myself playing the same challenge over and over and finding it hard to move on. I wander around and don't make progress. There are in-apps galore but they are a bit pricey, especially for those early adopters who paid full price. So, I see the future of this game as being deleted from my I-Pad. Whatever. I didn't invest much cash in it, so I have no hard feelings. The question is: How did it get all those great reviews?
    It's cloudy and cool today. The highest temperature I've seen is 60 degrees. It is overcast and breezy, as well. I sat on the porch and listened to music for a bit. My wife is at work and I am bored. I did play the game called The Last Driver. I had downloaded an update because they have inserted giant robots into the game. I do wish they'd put in some save points so I could finally see the rest of the maps. Seeing the same old stretch of road is wearing on my mind. As my British, and Aussie, friends would say, "It's a bloody drag."
    Spiderman is not in the same league with the Batman game I bought the other day. Is it worth a dollar? Yeah. But it could have been so much better.
    Hey, what the heck happened to that cool western game that was supposed to come out? The one where you walk in a saloon and the vampires attack you? I'm not talking about the Gameloft effort called Sixguns. If the developers are reading this; hey, guys. Put the dang thing out and then work through the bugs. We'll help you out by telling you how messed up it is. Ha, ha.
     Developing video games has to be like delivering mail. Trying to please 500 families is tough. Can you imagine trying to please millions of gamers? Now I guess I'll have to look up the name of that western game. It used the unreal engine and really looked great...
    Hey, I bought one of the resident evil games the other day. They put them on sale for a paltry 99 cents. I bought the one called Resident Evil 4: Platinum. The graphics aren't great on my I-Pad 3 but the game is straightforward, at least. Go to village. See zombies. Insert lead bullets into zombies. Repeat. I am really tired of this chainsaw-wielding zombono making me the guest of honor at a slice and dice party. I know it is the Halloween season, but heck...
    I like how the developers made this game where you can select a beginner's level of difficulty. Even that is tough for me. Still, for 99 cents I can't, but will, complain. Ha, ha.
     Right now I am thinking of asking Siri how to progress in the Spiderman game. I just did and she said, "Would you like me to search the web for that?" So, I wound up on you-tube, watching a video of Spiderman by Jojopet. I guess I'll keep the game for a while.
    I just asked Siri if she ever dated Spiderman. She said, "I have found six movies named Spiderman."
    So, I asked Siri if gamers are crazy people. She answered, "This might answer your question." Then she gave me a list of  stuff about a movie called The Gamers and Crazy People.
    I just asked Siri if she dated anyone. Her reply? "It's Saturday, October 6th, 2012."
    I am out of here on that note.
   I'm CE Wills.

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

    This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

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 puz...

Bottle On The Doorknob

      Hey, everyone. I took a day of vacation today and really enjoyed it. We went out and bought some flowers. Flowers don't do well up here as a rule so we buy some and have a couple of big pots of assorted flowers on the deck for the summer. This year we are going to set the pots out in the yard a bit. The reason for this is the moisture and dirt in the pots seems to attract ants, scorpions and perhaps gnats. Bloody drag, what?     This weekend there seemed to be a bad odor in the house in the area of the master bedroom and the master bath. We could not isolate what the problem was. We did a number of things, including pouring vinegar and baking soda down the drains, which boils them out in rather spectacular fashion. Put a handful small amount of baking soda down them first, then pour vinegar down them. Very cool.     We finally deduced that a mouse had crawled up between the floor and sub-floor underneath the jacuzzi, after ...
