Lava To My Knees

     Hey, everyone. Few people wake up in the morning and say things like, "Think I'll go to Snake Mountain today and kick some butt." Yet today, I have done that. The main reason? I just can't abide Skeletor's laugh. I am on level 2-2 of the Snake Mountain campaign and it is a tougher fight than a Presidential debate. There is a mountain with its top blown 'slap off' as we say in the South. There is red stuff running out the top of it and judging by the feeling in my hot, tired He-Man boots the stuff is molten lava. Guess I should do a double jump and move on. There are dozens of Skeletor's creepy, ghoulish henchmen about the keep and they want to sword-fight with me. It is nice to be wanted.
     The very ground is unstable here. As I run, huge stone abutments are crashing around me. There is a large orange bird that flies overhead and I am 'fixing to' do a double jump and hit him with my trusty blade. I suspect that he is communicating telepathically with Skeletor and giving him a play by play of the battle. I can't abide such heinous activity. Is he a drone?
      I went to the store a while ago and saw a highly coveted ability which I intend to have. It is called Hurricane Power. It lets you spin around and around and around in a circle with your gleaming blade, mowing down your enemies. Alas, it costs 15000 pesos, or whatever the currency is here in Greyskull. I must have it.
     Well, as you may have guessed, I have purchased He-Man, The Most Powerful Game In the Universe. It was on sale for 99 cents, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Am I glad I did? You betcha. It is fun, colorful and has dynamic animations. So many little things to note as you prowl these creepy dungeons. Someone put a lot of love into this offering.
     I remember when my boys were little, they would watch the He-Man cartoon on TV. They would be glued to the screen. I watched it with them, sometimes. Now, of course, their kids are too old for cartoons, I guess. Funny how time drifts by.
     There is a little guy named Orco. When I lose a level, the rascal has me spin a dial and see if I get another shot at the obstacle without starting over. Sometimes he'll give me crystals or a med pack or something. Rather cold of the scamp to play roulette with my life!
     Almost forgot. One of the things you can grab on the store with your in-game awards is a token for the 'Power of Greyskull'. With this, your sword shoots out lightning bolts to consume your enemies. It is sweet. Overall, this game is sooooo worth 99 centabos. It is cool as a moose.
     Speaking of the moose... I bought the Mini-Gore 2: Zombies, and it is definitely worth the $1.99. There is a ton of cool enemies, including a huge moose. There is a big Chinese guy with a Fu-manchu and twin assault rifles. There is a huge, angry Chef with a cleaver, also. Colorful, dynamic and varied gameplay. A bit gory for a small kid, but who would suspect that from the title? Ha, ha.
     Tis the season to 'game your brain'. I haven't even touched Modern Combat 4, yet. Don't be surprised if I post again before the night is through. Sleep is over-rated.
    I'm CE Wills, from Greyskull.
P.S. Some lady with a bird on her head gives me advice, in this He-Man game. Odd?

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 ...

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...

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...
