Zombie Shirts, Recliners and Mercenary Ops

    Hey, everyone. With great power comes great responsibility. Uncle Ben says that all the time. As the foremost zombie killer in the South, I have to keep the zombie hordes at bay. Someone gave me a shirt for Christmas, in recognition of my skills. (Shown above.) I also received an I-Tunes gift card, so I combined the two. I put on my new shirt and bought some zombie games and went on a campaign to remove the zombie menace from a creepy mansion. With my stash of I-Tunes cash, I splurged on new weaponry and commenced harsh retribution on the undead. I am glad my new shirt is black because these flowers from outer space were spitting green slime at me. They also were dropping huge spiders that blew apart when I blasted them. A messy job.
     Luckily, earlier in the day, we had taken down the Christmas tree and put my recliner back in it's hole. Exhausted by zombie battling, I felt obligated to recline and take a nap, ensuring that the chair still worked properly.
    In other news, I bought an app that is really a book, or a book that is sold as an app. I am speaking of the Dr. Seuss books that are on sale for 99 cents. As you know, Dr. Seuss books are cool as a moose. I bought Green Eggs and Ham. I streamed it to my 60 inch TV via Apple TV. There is a choice in the app where you can have the book read to you or you can read it yourself. I let it do the page movement and reading on the TV and really enjoyed it. Each word lights up as it is read so that a youngster can learn to read. If you tap the I-Pad, it will tell you what that object is. If you tap the boy(?), it will tell you that he is "Sam I Am", for instance. You will quickly learn that you can eat the aforementioned eggs with a fox, or you can eat them in a box.
      Since we rarely have children around the place, it is farfetched to say that I am buying these books for someone else. So, hey, I'll just admit that I am buying them for exploring the tech abilities of my I-Pad. Right. They are a great bargain. Remember, they are in the app store, not I-Books. I guess you could get the regular book from I-Books...
    Back to this Mercenary Ops game I mentioned. I wish it had a few more save points. One place I was stuck for a while. I had to accumulate 13 med packs and 'heal myself' 13 times to get through that chapter. It was rough in that creepy cellar! Once I was getting slashed and there was nothing left alive in front of me. I looked at my feet and a zombie had crawled up to me and was chomping on my lower extremities. I had to admire his grit, if not his manners. I quickly rendered the coup de grace to his skanky behindus.
      Well, I knew that you would be curious what I had done with my Christmas day, so now you know. I may post again, later in the day, so check back if you get bored.
     From the deep south, on a foggy, dripping, cold day, this is CE Wills.

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

    This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

Four Free Games

     Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store. 1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore . You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night. 2) The Heist - A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puz...

Bottle On The Doorknob

      Hey, everyone. I took a day of vacation today and really enjoyed it. We went out and bought some flowers. Flowers don't do well up here as a rule so we buy some and have a couple of big pots of assorted flowers on the deck for the summer. This year we are going to set the pots out in the yard a bit. The reason for this is the moisture and dirt in the pots seems to attract ants, scorpions and perhaps gnats. Bloody drag, what?     This weekend there seemed to be a bad odor in the house in the area of the master bedroom and the master bath. We could not isolate what the problem was. We did a number of things, including pouring vinegar and baking soda down the drains, which boils them out in rather spectacular fashion. Put a handful small amount of baking soda down them first, then pour vinegar down them. Very cool.     We finally deduced that a mouse had crawled up between the floor and sub-floor underneath the jacuzzi, after ...
