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!.

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 ...

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...

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...
