That Amazon Lady

       Hey, everyone. Good to see you. No, I can't see you, really. I did hear, just the other day, that certain government agencies can turn on the speaker of your cell phone and use it as a microphone so they can hear every word you say. But I am here to talk about a game I bought the other day called Justice League. It is about those Superheroes from DC Comics who keep the universe relatively safe.
     This game came out a couple of months ago and was released at the price of $2.99. A couple of weeks ago I bought it for 99 cents, on sale. Although it is certainly worth the 99 cents and was probably fairly priced at $2.99, I leave the game fairly disappointed. It could have been so great!
    You start out by choosing a character to be your avatar as you battle an alien invasion. You see the following characters: Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Flash and Green Lantern. Here's the first irritation; you can only play as Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman unless you want to buy 1500 power points.
    So, I started out with Wonder Woman. Don't say it, please. She is good-looking. How is it possible that Amazon.com has failed to see her value as a natural spokeswoman for their company? She is the world's foremost Amazon.
     So, you start your battle. Wonder Woman has her magic Lasso and her super-strength. You use Wonder Woman to beat up the bad guys, finish levels, level up and manage a complex system of management and rewards.
You smash crates to find glowing blocks of health and power.
     Another thing which I don't like is this: If you play as Wonder Woman for a while, then you want to play Batman, you have to start over at Level 1.
     Also, the in-apps seem a bit pushy and the whole power up, upgrade scene is more complicated than it has to be. The graphics are not eye-popping and the gameplay is limited in scope. The characters seem a bit smaller than they need to be, as well.
     True, it's fun to tap a button and see Superman rise into the air. Then you use the directional pad to guide him in flight, with his fist extended, like the comics.
    So, you start your battle. You can spend in-game coin on upgrades like Power, Focus and Will. There are things like Health, Energy, Attack, Defense, Critical unit, health recovery, and other things to improve.
      By the way, you can select Active Skills and Passive Skills.
     Overall, I think that the game was okay. It is still 99 cents, as we speak.
     I'm Ce Wills. Avengers Assemble! Ooops, wrong group of heroes. Go Justice League!.

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 ...

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...

Egg Art

     Hey, everyone. One of the odd customs in America is the Easter Egg Hunt. Here at the Green Retreat, we do a hunt every Spring. I just ran across some of the pictures from this years hunt and it is obvious that an artist had sneaked into our midst. The orange egg is a rendering of one of the Angry Birds of gaming lore. If I were a bird and had to pass an egg that size, I would be angry too. Ha, ha.      We typically will dye about 10 dozen eggs and people get quite creative with their quotes and colors, as you can see. Many of the eggs are a bit risque for these pages. After having a few laughs, we hide the eggs. All of them are never found, which is cool. It is amusing to see old men (me) and all ages of folks, walking around with a basket on their arm. Some of the hiding spots are dastardly. Like eggs hidden in the guttering downspouts and ten foot up a tree. The kids are perhaps the most devious at hiding the colorful orbs, goi...
