Odd Ending For Mass Effect: Infiltrator

Hey, everyone. Having trouble with my Internet service yet again. My heartfelt appreciation to Wild Blue, possibly .... Never mind.
     Tonight I got to see the end of Mass Effect, Infiltrator on my I-Pad. The last chapter is an epic battle with a guy that is a clone of my own character, I guess. He uses weapons identical to my own, cloaks himself in invisibility and levitates himself to escape my fury. It is a protracted battle with your best hope being a ' run an gun' style. I'd like to thank Trevor for his help in this game, enabling me to see the ending. I was stuck in that long hallway with the obnoxious and stubborn snipers.
The ending left me wondering. I mean, you stand over the fallen warrior, point your weapon at him and shoot him, while telling his ' boss' that you are coming for him. (You are talking to the boss via comm link.) That is the end, other than a link to a web site.???
At any rate, it was a great game and well worth the $7 or $8 which I gave for it. To think you could buy it during the recent sale for 99 cents....
This morning I started the game over at Chapter 1. It was great fun, and easier this time around.
      Carley has been playing a game called 7 Wonders: Ancient Alien Makeover. This sounds like a TV show in which people from another planet get a new hairdo, but it is a puzzle game. Carley is P.O.ed because it is not saving her progress. After she works her butt off beating a level, she leaves the game and has to come back and do it again. Nothing makes a gamer more angry than that.
    I have finally got around to playing a bit of Need For Speed: Most Wanted. This game was also on sale for 99 cents, recently. It is a lot of fun. It will quicken your heart rate a bit when the cops are trying to smash your car into a bridge abutment as you are racing some gear-swapping dude. There are road blocks, similar to the action in NFS Hot Pursuit. The main difference between the two games is that Most Wanted has more of an upgrade system for cars and their details than the older Hot Pursuit. Both are very good.
      Nothing against compact cars; love their economy, but in my fantasies I'd rather start out a race in a Camaro, a 'Vette or a Beamer. Of course, it is a building progress, and one must exercise patience, as well as a heavy foot.
    One thing I find really cool about Most Wanted is that your car achieves damage from your wrecks. Note in the photo above that the rear bumper is falling off my Dodge Challenger. As you damage your ride, you sacrifice speed, which of course is more in line with reality. You may be able to see that my rear window is smashed as well.
    We were trying a match three game called Letz HD, which is a neat game that would be more fun for kids than old shooters like me. I deleted it because it took the liberty of turning on my notifications on the Padster. It is an odd game in that the tutorial is hard for me to follow but it seems to be more aimed at a cutesy sort of child's puzzle in the graphics and dialogue. It involves letters for words and matching three or more of things. I feel at a loss in telling you more. You may really like it.
     It has been cold and snowy today, with a little rain. Indoor sports for me!

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 ...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

    Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up.     His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000.    It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...

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...
