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!

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...
