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 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...

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 ...

The Sweet Run

   Hey, everyone. I have been playing quite a bit of games this weekend, as well as painting my house. Late last night I got on a sweet run on Nova 3 , the sci-fi shooter game. It's one of those games that has excellent graphics and feels like you have to advance inch by bloody inch. In a word, it is a pain in the butt.     For instance, I have been stuck on a Volterite spaceship for a month, wandering corridors over and over again like a lost puppy.     I finally cruised over to You Tube and watched a video walkthrough of the level. I eventually noticed that the guy picked up a piece of crystal from the floor in a dark corner of a 'solarium'. So, I went back to the game and at length came back to that area and picked up a crystal shard. Cool, right? I went on my way rejoicing in my heart. I had wild visions of advancing effortlessly through the remainder of this derelict ship and moving on to other exciting levels. Maybe I'd get to go to a dese...
