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.

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 ...

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...

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...
