The Piano Player and His Pards

     Hey, everyone. I proceeded in my new game tonight. I am speaking of Plants vs. Zombies 2. I'd like to tell you a little about this third and final 'world' of the Wild West. If you look at the picture you'll see that you have a new plant which  shoots lightning bolts and electrocutes the enemy. There is also a plant which slings water melons. When you feed them plant food they just explode pink melon stuff all over the place. Very cool. Oh, yeah, the zombies skeletel structure shows up when they are shocked. See above.
     My personal favorite in this world is the piano player zombie. He comes rolling out with his piano and a funny hat. He plays some great old west type of tunes. When he does, all the other zombies dance and switch lanes . This messes up your defensive formations.There are times when it gets so chaotic that I just sit and watch, a good way to lose.
    There are also some gunslinger zombies who wear ponchos like in Clint Eastwood movies. If you shoot away their poncho, you see that they are wearing a metal breastplate. It is tough to penetrate.
     But that's not all the wonders of this place. Nooooooo.There are midget zombies who ride on bulls. The bulls throw them over your fighters unless you have a 'tall wall nut' in the way. (Not shown.) There is a zombie with red hair that carries chickens around. He has about 5 or 6 with him. They go nuts when he drops them. They peck all your stuff and run around like... a chicken with its head cut off. Ha, ha. The lightning plant works good on the chickens.
    So, with lightning bolts, chickens, bulls, piano players, dancing zombies, noise, confusion and everything else, this game is a riot of activity. It overpowers your senses, almost. For a jaded old dude like me to laugh out loud is something, but that's what I did when the piano man came out. Billy Joel he was not, but it was great. Don't get me wrong, I really liked the music.
    From the author's green retreat, I'm CE Wills.
P.S. I almost forgot about the miner zombie. This old codger has a stick of dynamite in his back pocket. Moreover, it is lit. (Please don't try this at home.) So, when the dynamite blows, the guy goes sailing to the back of your defenses, where he wreaks havoc by walking back toward his own guys and destroying your plants. If you have a pea shooter that shoots in both directions you'll be okay.

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 ...

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...

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week.      I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...
