My I-Pad Runneth Over

   Hey, everyone. There are a lot of games out, right now. New games and updates to existing games. I hardly have time to play them all or review them all, certainly. God of Blades is on sale for 99 cents and I bought it. Angry Birds Star Wars has issued an update for the Ice Planet Hoth section and I just downloaded it. Awesome, a rather striking run and jump game is another I downloaded. I think it was a dollar.
     Writer Rumble is a puzzle game in which you have critters that are attacking you. You form words from letters on a screen and once formed, the words are hurled at the voracious creatures, killing them. You can hurl words at your friends if you like. Not bad words, but words you form from the letters. Ha, ha. The coolest part of it is that you choose different personalities of famous writers like Edgar Allen Poe as your avatar. Each one has different attributes. I haven't played this game a lot, yet, but it has a different flavor to it and would appear to be well worth uno dinero.
    Speaking of awesome visuals, you should see Lili, an adventure game which uses the unreal engine to chronicle the travels of a young girl through a colorful, animated world. It too is on sale for, you guessed it, a dollar. I am also trying out games like Stan Lee's Verticus which went free over the weekend. It is fairly fun. You are falling into the center of the earth's core and shifting your body to pick up good things and dodge bad things, sort of like life.
    If you still haven't bought Storm the Train for 99 cents, you are missing one of the better games on the store. I have played it for hours and hours. The farther I go, the cooler it gets. Now I have more drones that come and fight for me. They fly or grind along the ground as I advance and take care of my 'light work'. Ha, ha. There is also a power-up where you get a cool space suit and start shooting blue lasers at the zombies and skeletons, ninjas and the like. This is my favorite method of spreading terror on a train truly bound for nowhere. If Kenny Rogers played video games, this would be his style. (This is a play on words for Kenny's song, The Gambler)
    I tried to download an update for Infinity Blade 2 (an older update) this morning and was politely told by my Padster that there was no room at the inn. 64 gigs and stuffed to the gills. Hopefully, I'll be back to give an in depth review of some of these games in the near future. May your device ever be full of good things. Go in peace, gamer.
P.S. Hey, I almost forgot. I was playing Blood Roofs and bought an upgrade called Warp. It puts a glowing pink circle on the screen. If you jump through it you are transported over a long stretch of roofs, in the air. A monster smashes out of a building, chasing you, as the woman you are carrying shoots backward at it. It was very cool.
I'm CE Wills.

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...
