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.

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...
