Mushrooms That Stink and Games That Don't

   
Hey, everyone. It has been a long, tough week. I worked late a couple of nights and my fun to work ratio seemed out of kilter. Today I did some work at home, but I made it a point to take a nap. My mind feels refreshed. It is amazing how a lack of sleep effects bodily functions.
     Today I faced an odd thing. I went to the garage and it smelled bad down there. I mean, if I had passed gas it would have been an upgrade. I was concerned that there might be a dead mouse but upon searching the area, I discovered the smell was coming from my mower.???
   I mowed the yard yesterday and ran over several large mushrooms. I noticed that on their underneath side there was green mold. The chopped mushrooms clung to my tires and it was really stinking. I took the mower outside and washed the tires.
     Speaking of tires,Asphalt 8: Airborne came out this week. I have played it a little and it is fun. It is the newest racing game for I-Pad. It is only uno dinero, a great deal. Here's some of the things I like about it.

1) I got to drive through a huge pipe. Always wanted to do that! You can steer so that you are half-way up the side of the thing and pass other drivers. Coolness.
2) Once, when I exited from the above-mentioned pipe, I zoomed past an eagle who happened to be soaring by. Isn't it great to commune with nature from your recliner?
3) While racing in Iceland I drove onto an area of road in which my vehicle was exposed to a blast of wind and snow. Took me by surprise and it was a nice detail to add.
4) While racing in Tokyo, I came in last, just to see if I could. Ha, ha. Anyway, a thing pops up on the screen saying that I achieved the nice guy award, for finishing last. Funny. I must say that I super-miss the nice female voice that coached me through on Asphalt 6. I still keep that game on my Padster even though it is a couple of versions old.
     You need to have 30 stars to open the next packet of races. I currently have 29 but I could pay to open the next bunch .
     Speaking of the fast life: I bought a cool game for 99 centabos. It is called Shine Runner. Here's the recipe: You operate one of those airboats, like they use in the Everglades. Always wanted one of those. You deliver moonshine to these bars in the swamps. You crash through docks, glide over short stretches of land, get chased by cops in boats and run over alligators. It is a hoot.
   In other gaming news, I recently finished The Dark Knight Rises. Once I started using tons of Batarangs, it went well and I had a load of fun.

     Finally, I re-downloaded a game called d-capitatrix HD. I have mentioned it before but it bears repeating. Whoever served as the model for these robots' movements has to be awesome. It is probably the same person's voice from Asphalt 6 which I mentioned above. Ha, ha. In the game you open worm holes in rooms that allows you to re-unite a robot head with its body. A different slant on puzzle games.
    Well, after I install a few pictures, I am signing off, from the Author's Green Retreat. I'm 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...

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Stick Bugs

    Here at our place we have these odd bugs that look very much like a stick with legs. They are whoppin' big things, 6 to 8 inches long. They're called stick bugs. They'll give you quite a start if you feel something on your head and feel around up there and contact one of them. They like to ride piggy-back on each other and I don't know why that is. I'm not crazy about them.     Last night I told you about the army of raccoons that ran away as I came home. Evidently they returned later because I found two tiny footprints on the dust of my car. I was relieved that they didn't write "Wash me".     Today I was changing the filter on my water system. My well is good despite the dry weather but I have iron water that requires a pretty good filter, a 5 micron. This takes out the sediment and makes your toilets look more civilized. Anyway, as I was doing this I heard a tremendous crash. It sounded like it was quite a way off so I didn't investi...
