This Mummy Needs To Get Out of My Face

    Hey, everyone. Recently I was on a 'dig' at a buried tomb and had a brush with the local populace. Yeah, I'm kidding. I was actually playing the new game called Escape From Doom. This game is an endless runner, which means that you start at the same point every time and your character runs, dodges etc. until meeting his...er... doom.
     The creators of this game have taken a page from Iron Man 3 and added a dynamic that involves finding weapons with which you can defend yourself (this game might be unpopular on Capitol Hill for this reason.)
     As you flee from the tomb, you dodge right and left to avoid mummies and try to run across vases and treasure chests which contain goodies like keys and the aforementioned weapons. The game also gives you goals like 'kill 10 mummies' or 'find so many keys'. Keys will unlock chests you run across. 5 keys will unlock additional ammo. Like most games, the rewards need to be more generous so that you won't have to grind so much to advance. I will give the developers a lot of credit for this; there are no in-apps that I can see.
    While you are running across the landscape you might be approaching what you believe to be a vase and find out that it is a mummy rising from the sand. Cool. If you have a gun, you tap the center of the screen to fire at the ugly bounders. After running a few miles you have to run through a sandstorm. There are good and bad results to a sandstorm. They uncover more vases and treasure chests. (Good). But you can't see the bad guys until you are right on them. (Bad). Later on, I understand that you encounter temples.
     This game is a paltry $1.99 and is fun to play. The graphics are good, as you can see from the screenshot above. I will say that this mummy needs to be getting out of my face. His breath stinks and his complexion is to die for. Ha, ha. He needs to hire an NFL trainer to give him a good tape job.
    From this gritty desert, I'm CE Wills; I'm scared and I want my mummy.

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 ...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

    Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up.     His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000.    It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...

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...
