My Gold I-Phone 5S and Spelunking With Iron Man

   Hey, everyone in the Ethernet, and all the ships at sea. My buddy, Iron Man, needed my help today. It seems that there is a new update to Iron Man 3 and I decided to get it. The main reason is because the update had a new level or map in it. The new level is called Woodlands and I have included a screen shot above. The Metallic Avenger and I are flying over open fields, blistering the sky as we dodge silos and wind turbines. You also fly through forests. At one point we flew through the tunnel in a giant Sequoya or redwood, whatever.
    But the most fun was when we went spelunking. It started like this. My man, Tony, came to me and proposed that we hang together for the day. "Cool", I said, "but I once was in a cave with a friend and our flashlight went out. It was really scary and if we are going to do this, you're going to have to bribe me."
    "Bribe?" He asked indignantly. "With what?"
"You're the head of Stark Industries, you tell me." He thought for a minute.
"How about the new I-Phone 5S?"
"The gold colored one?" I asked eagerly. He laughed.
"Hey, not even I can get one of those. I'm rich, but I'm not omnipotent."
"Go on Ebay."
    He reluctantly agreed, because we're tight. So, yeah, we are tearing up the sky and flew under the big arm of a Caterpillar and blasted through all these enemies which I have described in a previous review. Sure, I was scared when we zoomed through the cave, dodging the stalactites and stalagmites. But I manned up because I wanted the new phone.
     By the way, before I forget, the other levels have a few changes also. You see some different things than before. For instance, there are huge cargo planes that come roaring overhead while you are zooming down the airstrip in Santa Monica. Really impressive. Then you take a side trip down the beach and dodge beach-related stuff. It was a nice, refreshing change after all the sameness of doing that level hundreds of times before.
    There are a few ads that have appeared, unfortunately, but, there are tournaments to play if you have a connection. I wish that they would be a bit more liberal with in-game cash and armors.
     If you want to play when you're not on-line just tap friends and then play.
    So, I know you're curious, did I get the rare breed, almost extinct, called Gold I-Phone 5s? Well, Tony explained it like this.
"Here's the deal, CE,... I don't exist. This guy named Stan Lee dreamed me up. Only a geek like you would ask me for anything. I am not even your imaginary friend. And, if I did exist, who do you think I am? Steve Jobs? Tim Cook? Wait a few months and get the darn phone."
    I was a bit crushed, but I decided to just get a new armor instead. Then I saw that I would have to grind a while to get the in-game cash necessary. I think I'll intentionally fly Iron Man into a giant redwood, and keep doing it until he comes across with my phone.
     From this creepy cave in the woods, this is CE Wills.
P.S. Coincidentally, Iron Man 3, the movie, just came out on DVD. Which reminds me...didn't that kid in Tennessee make Tony give him a bunch of cool stuff in exchange for his help? To me that sets a precedent and I expect the phone Muy Pronto.

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 you know by now, their strategy

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 here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol

To Kill A Lobster (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. I had not planned on posting tonight but I have to make something right. I gave Shadowgun a good review last night but I didn't do it justice. Tonight I got past the vicious Cyber Lobster and went on to play a lot more. This is a terrific game! Last night I would have rated it 4 stars out of 5. Tonight I give it 5 stars out of 5. By the way, here's a spoiler alert. If you don't want to know how to kill the lobster, don't read any further. I say this because I had several people come to the blog that were looking for the silver bullet ( figure of speech from old Dracula movies, not literal weapon for lobster) to kill this behemoth.      When the monster appears, he starts firing missiles at you out of his mechanical mouth. Don't run and hide behind a barrier. Get close to him and run back and forth, dodging missiles until you can blast the lime colored ball of light that appears periodically over his head. I suspect that this is his AI, but Cybe
