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.

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...

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: Killing The Windbreaker

    Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to.     Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends.      I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As...
