Dead Trigger 2: Exploding Chickens and Golden Pigs

    Hey, everyone. I have spent about 5 hours playing the newest zombie game called Dead Trigger 2. It is a very good game. Great graphics, as you can see above, and action galore. It is also free, which is cool. I was very glad to see that they have added a choice of difficulties, ranging from easy to hard. I was very appreciative of this and had, in fact, e-mailed them to that effect.
      You are a warrior, trying to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. At first you are in the USA, fighting in missions. You start saving a few talented people, with whom you start to 'network'. For instance, there is a lady who wears a very cool shirt. She will fix you up with some painkillers, for some of your in-game coin. It is important to keep some of these medicines around so that you can heal yourself when you get into a tough fight. Then you save a tech guy. Then you save a weapons specialist. When you buy stuff from these people, it may take seconds or hours to get the finished product back to you. For instance, I have just up-graded my Tech guy (Cost me a bunch of in-game dinero) and he says that it will take him, like, 6 hours to get that done. Bummer.
     I had another guy build me some Frag Grenades. That only took 30 seconds. That's faster than Burger King.
      By now, you know the drill. There are better weapons and blueprints to unlock. In some of the levels I came across a golden pig. I guess he is worth some bonus points or something. He's not alive, never was, but you have to shoot him. He explodes when you do this. Bacon doesn't fly out, just golden pieces. the world's most expensive pinata.
     You think all this is weird? Au Contraire, Mon Ami. Back at the hideout, I have this guy who will, for a price, build what he calls Boom Chickens. He actually straps dynamite to feathered creatures. Then, when you are out in the streets with the undead coming after you...you release the chicken. Ha, ha. Just remembered the " Release the Kracken!" comment from that movie. Release the Chicken! When you release the feathered rascal, all these zombies go ape. They bend over and run around with their hands wide-spread, trying to catch the deadly fowl. When a big crowd of zombies surrounds the little guy, he sets himself off. Kaboom!
     Before I forget, this game is free, with in-apps. I went back and bought a package of gold coins; because it was such a fun game, I didn't want to freeload. You can have plenty of fun  without spending real-world cash however. It is fairly difficult to advance in certain places, though.
     By the way, the 'boss' zombies are doozies in this game. There is one huge guy that they call Kamikaze. He has a barrel full of explosives strapped to his chest. You need to have grenades to use on him and a few of the other bosses. Like this one bizzarro dude who spits gross stuff on you. There is a scientist who wears a contamination suit and kills you with radiation. The one guy that really rubs my fur the wrong way is this fellow that, when attacked, turns around, bends over and...well, never mind. I can't remember if they call him suppository...no, it was something else. In the African campaign you have to go into this spooky old mine and examine toxic waste. It is a tough mission, even on 'easy'. There are barrels that explode if you shoot them, by the way.
    The bottom line is this: Dead Trigger 2 is a great game, very playable. It's free, with in-apps, and you probably won't want little bitty kids to play it. I suspect that it will become hugely popular and a classic of its overcrowded genre.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Egg Art

     Hey, everyone. One of the odd customs in America is the Easter Egg Hunt. Here at the Green Retreat, we do a hunt every Spring. I just ran across some of the pictures from this years hunt and it is obvious that an artist had sneaked into our midst. The orange egg is a rendering of one of the Angry Birds of gaming lore. If I were a bird and had to pass an egg that size, I would be angry too. Ha, ha.      We typically will dye about 10 dozen eggs and people get quite creative with their quotes and colors, as you can see. Many of the eggs are a bit risque for these pages. After having a few laughs, we hide the eggs. All of them are never found, which is cool. It is amusing to see old men (me) and all ages of folks, walking around with a basket on their arm. Some of the hiding spots are dastardly. Like eggs hidden in the guttering downspouts and ten foot up a tree. The kids are perhaps the most devious at hiding the colorful orbs, goi...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...
