The Wall of Air and the Chainsaw Nomes


    Hey, everyone. You guys go to bed late, don't you? I have been up late myself, still playing the new game called March On Oz. I thought I'd toss in a few screen shots to show you the color and graphics.
     For a hillbilly like me, it is nice to get out and stroll around a cool place like Oz. I have made some new friends. For instance, I have a friend that is a huge Jack-o-lantern. The trick is that if you tap on him when he is around your enemies, he explodes ice and snow all over them, which cramps their style. His brother pumpkin explodes with fire, which wreaks havoc in the ranks of the Nomes.
     Before, I had a Fairy as a guide. Now I have an exotic queen and her daughters. They appreciate my service to Oz so much that they have given me a magic ability to call forth a "Wall of Air". To me it looks like a big granite rock with eyes, but it appears to be an effective defense system. He talks also.
     Alas, I have new enemies as well. To whit, there are these Nomes which have arms, but the arms are chain-saws. When they come up against the ranks of my arrayed forces, the sparks fly like crazy.
    This game has a whole book of instructions and hints, as well as history. I recently read some things that helped me and would be classified as a spoiler. One thing was the use of formations when you put your guys in an array. You have to have plenty of cake produced so that there will be 'currency' to buy more soldiers. So you place 4 bakers in a square and they produce a far greater volume of cake. This secret alone helped me past a level where I was stuck. I also learned that it is better to call forth your monkeys before the enemies reach the rear area of your army. Also, if Cayke, your fairy, is blasted, you must replace her immediately, or right now, whichever comes first. Ha, ha. This lady is a cake producer extraordinaire.
     I got a free game called Run and Gun last night. It is fun, for an endless runner. In describing its game play I would say that you run and you shoot goblins. The 'steering' is by tilting the screen. You must swipe to slide under things and swipe up to jump obstacles. It is okay, and free at the moment, I think.
     I got another freebie called Alien Zone. It is a very reasonable 'free' at the moment. I haven't even opened it yet due to obligations in Oz. Ha, ha.
    Cute Kill is another game I haven't opened, as is one called Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden. The latter is a Hidden Object, mystery style of game. I don't know why I got it, really, because I don't normally play those, but the darn graphics looked so beautiful, I couldn't resist. Looks like I may be burning the midnight oil in gameland tonight. Remember, for a dollar, Oz is very cool. Try it!

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...
