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.

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...
