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.

It's So Easy

     Hey, everyone, out there in etherland. I've been playing some new songs this morning on my keyboard. You may remember a Buddy Holly tune called It's So Easy . I hadn't matched the title to the song before today so I was delighted when I saw that it was the one that goes like this: "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love." It rocks pretty good. A later version of it, after amps and guitars had improved, really rocked. It seems like Joan Jett may have done a version. Anyway, I was playing this song and I thought about a fun thing I like to do. Sometimes I'll start to play a song and tell Carley, or the grandkids, whoever may be there, a silly story about it.      For instance, I would say that once upon a time Buddy Holly came to me and said, "CE, I need a hit, my man. The kids need shoes. I want to go on American bandstand, you know what I'm saying?"     "Yeah, Buddy, I hear you. But the thing is, I think ...

Movie Review: Limitless

    Hey, everyone. I ventured off the mountain today, down into the haunts of men. I'll tell you about a movie I saw, then later I'll tell you about some other stuff. The movie is Unlimited . This is a story that you would have to call science fiction, but in the not so distant future you may call it reality.      Bradley Cooper plays Edward Morra. If you looked up loser in the dictionary you would see this guy's picture. He has freeloaded off his girlfriend for years. He claims to be a writer but can't seem to put words on paper. His woman leaves him; he is a scroungy, dirty dude with no future, no drive and no money. He is about to be evicted from his scummy apartment.     Then he bumps into an old friend. The friend wants him to try a new drug which comes in the form of a small, clear pill. What Edward doesn't know is that the pill is pretty awesome. The drug is designed to unlock the true potential of the human brain. We only use a...

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week.      I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...
