Zombie Road Trip and Cube Cannibalism

    Hey, everyone. I have had a bit of fun with a free game called Zombie Road Trip. It is a zombie apocalypse and you are tasked with surviving a harsh environment. You are being chased by a motley aggregation of zombies who are certainly portrayed in a cute manner. You can outfit your vehicle with weapons and fire them by tapping on the right side of the screen, above the flip button.
    You can flip your car in mid-air, either forward or backward. As if the horde that is on your heels is not pressure enough, there are brave zombie dudes who rush at you from in front. Their selfless task is to slow you enough, with their dying breath, to allow the horde to overwhelm you. I admire their grit. Ha, ha.
    You, on the other hand, must shoot these chivalrous undead so that they cannot slow you down. As you progress from level to level, the scenery changes, transporting you from green hills to a rock quarry. At times you advance to a point where you can't see the horde behind you but can almost feel their fetid breath on your neck ... er, bumper.
    Speaking of bumpers, I have purchased, with in-game cash, earned by my exploits, a doodle bug, and outfitted it with a rifle.
     This game is
1) Cute
2) Free
3) Fun
4) The in-apps could be a little cheaper.
5) There is a cool bird. He can be shot while you are airborne. This, among other things, gives you bonus points. He squawks at such times and the feathers fly.
      I just bought a mustang. It is yellow. I am a level two escapee, I guess. I like this game, but be warned, there are ads. I don't understand the spinning wheel and the roulette thing between rounds, either. Check it out and see what you think.
     Hey, guess what? I downloaded an update for two games the other day. Both of them messed up the game so that they won't even open. Namely, Deadzone and Bladeslinger. Some games, though probably not these two, are actually messing up their games with updates so that you will have to buy the new version of said games. My wife is very upset with Fairway Golf. Frankly, if you are enjoying a game it is probably best that you don't do updates. Maybe Apple will get a hold on these folks.
     Last Sunday, I went back and played most of Mass Effect: Infiltrator again. I played the early levels over and over until I built up credits enough to buy a lot of cool upgrades. This made the game so much more fun, since I was outfitted in a manner more befitting my rank and talents. Ha, ha. I think that game is on sale now for a cool 99 cents. It is a great game and a steal at that price.
     Also, I got a free game called Death Call. It is a shooting gallery game. I normally don't like those but this one is fun. it is also free and has a few wrinkles added. You have a shield to put up if you need to recover your health. There are different western characters who dare to oppose you, along with some aliens and explosive devices. The difficulty ramps up and makes it rather challenging. I played it for an hour or so and found it to be a pleasant diversion from my duties.
    Hey, I heard about an odd food treat the other day. A lady I know makes Buttermilk Popsickles. Yeah, I know! It is freaky. My wife likes to put a big scoop of cole slaw in her chili. Everybody's taste is different, I suppose. I like a little mayonnaise in pinto beans, so I have no right to critisize others.
    Well, good night from the author's green retreat. This is CE Wills.
P.S. Carley is playing a free game called Edge Extended. It is a puzzle game in which you must roll a cube around a geometric landscape and capture various other cubes in a display of shape cannibalism that I find alarming. Just kidding. She likes the game and gives it 4 stars out of 5.

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...
