Mutants: It Should Be a Hit

    Hey, everyone. Mutants is an interesting game. I think that this little game should be a hit, for several reasons.
1) It is fun. It has that 'one more time' feeling to it when you quit.
2) The variety. Every time you start, there is a different goal. For instance, you are  sometimes tasked with going from level to level and collecting flags. Then again, you may need to seek out 'dog tags' lying about. (the kind that soldiers wear for identification.) Sometimes you are told to kill all the pink blobs or amoebas, whatever the heck they are. I like the way these things sort of jelly-roll their way along the platforms of this, er, platform game. They drop from level to level in fond hopes of absorbing your scrawny, little pirate's body into their mass. Shooting them is okay, too.
      The coolest thing about the blobs is this: when you shoot them they defecate quantities of gold coins, which I find enchanting and profitable. I have watched the Animal Channel for hours without seeing another creature that can do this. I think I'd rather have them  than a herd of alpacas.
     While I'm talking about the coins, let me say this. The game is generous with the in-game cash and you can play it without shelling out for in-apps. As I said yesterday, I liked the game enough that I would have felt guilty if I had not bought something. So, I bought a 99 cent in-app which gave me $20,000 coins. Not only can you buy a lot of guns, grenades and med-packs with $20,000 gold coins but there is no telling how long it would take those blobbies to produce that much gold. Ha, ha. Besides, the food bill for them must be astronomical, as much as they poop.
     I almost forgot to tell you about the fiasco I had with this game. No big deal, really. I bought the in-app. Then I was gonna look at the leaderboards and see how I was doing. (Not good.) Then it wouldn't allow me back to the game. It was stuck on somebody's score on game center. So, I had to re-download the game, after I deleted it. When I did, I had no 20,000 gold coins and I had to shoot more blobs and they had to ..., well, start their coin production.
     At any rate, you should try this bad boy. I like it. It should be a hit, even though the graphics and game are simple. Good is good, fun is fun, and a blob that will do this gold coin thing on his death bed is okay with me.
     I'm CE Wills, blob shooter. And yes, I pick up their coins without worrying about germs.
P.S. watch out for the lasers. They change direction sometimes.

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...

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...
