Fishdom,the Smart Cover and the Natural Blond

      Hey, everyone. I have played several different games lately. Mighty Mouse has gone 'free' and I've played it a little. It's okay. You fly through the air and punch bad guys, mines dropped by Oil Can Harry's plane, and try to avoid hitting anything unless you are pushing a button that gives you super speed. There are a lot of levels but they get harder, fast, and that takes some of the fun away. Still, for free, I can't complain. Also, Polly Purebred is fairly attractive, for a mouse. I wonder if she is a natural blond? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.
     Fishdom Harvest HD is an older game that we've had for a while. This is a fun, relaxing game that has you swapping tiles so that you can complete levels and advance. As this happens, you earn in-game cash and decorate your fish tank with fish, plants and equipment. I like it a lot.
     I understand that Shadowgun is now coming out with a version that is on-line multiplayer. I don't play on-line but it should be very cool for those that partake of that action. This version is supposedly on Android as we speak and will shortly be on IOS.
     Also, I heard that Modern Combat 4 is coming out in the next few weeks and it looks very cool, according to the video which I saw. This time of the year is a cool time to be a gamer. Speaking of that, I saw that Halo 4 made $220,000,000 in the first 24 hours that it was on sale. Obviously, I'm in the wrong line of work. Ha, ha.
     You I-Pad folks might be interested to know how to clean your pastel smart cover. Mine was getting a grungy look to it. It is the sky blue color and I didn't like the smudges, so I put Windex on a wash cloth and scrubbed that bad boy. It came clean, no problemo. In retrospect, I should have bought a darker color, but I like pastels. No, I am not gay. In fact, I am not even jolly. Ha, ha.
     Hey, I was very glad to see Barnes and Noble go into the UK. I probably sell more books through Barnes and Noble than anywhere. Apple has put their I-Books Store into 50 more countries, lately. The potential market for e-books, counting all smart phones, tablets, I-pods, PC's etc., must be close to a billion people. How the book industry has changed in the last 3 years!
     I accidentally hit the publish button a while ago, so if you are wondering why this post is coming to you piecemeal, that is why. Sorry about that.
     Goodnight from the author's green retreat.
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...

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Stick Bugs

    Here at our place we have these odd bugs that look very much like a stick with legs. They are whoppin' big things, 6 to 8 inches long. They're called stick bugs. They'll give you quite a start if you feel something on your head and feel around up there and contact one of them. They like to ride piggy-back on each other and I don't know why that is. I'm not crazy about them.     Last night I told you about the army of raccoons that ran away as I came home. Evidently they returned later because I found two tiny footprints on the dust of my car. I was relieved that they didn't write "Wash me".     Today I was changing the filter on my water system. My well is good despite the dry weather but I have iron water that requires a pretty good filter, a 5 micron. This takes out the sediment and makes your toilets look more civilized. Anyway, as I was doing this I heard a tremendous crash. It sounded like it was quite a way off so I didn't investi...
