Godfire's Big Doors, Monsters and Masks





  
     Hey, everyone. I bought the game called Godfire, Rise of Prometheus late last night. I have been playing it for hours today and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it is one of the best games you can buy and it is so worth the $2.99 sale price or the $6.99 normal price. My advice is to run, not walk, to the ole app store and buy this adventure. Because it is an adventure indeed. Here's the recipe.
     I am playing  the role of Prometheus, who has a visit from an odd masked lady. Visits from masked women almost always turn out to be trouble. If you don't believe me, ask Tom Cruise. At any rate, this lady wants me to do her a wee bit of a favor. She wants me to 'liberate' (steal) some chips of stuff that will enable the human race to live more full and enriched lives. Cool. I am up for that, being a hero and all. This sort of thing is expected of you.
     The lady's mask has tears running down the cheeks, which I find strange. I can only assume it is some sort of sympathy ploy. You'll note in the picture above that I gave her "The  Look". This is a stare I affect which makes women melt. Didn't seem to work on her...
   You wouldn't believe the places she sent me. I had to go through some of the biggest doors I have ever seen. I fought a huge troll that had straps affixed to his flabby body. He also had spikes growing from his shoulders. I was being friendly and offered to take him to my Gym for a workout on the Nautilus stuff. He took offense and we went at it, hammer and tong.
     Speaking of weapons. You have swords and armor that you can upgrade as you go along. Using in-game cash or real cash. As one progresses, it is advisable to upgrade things like Health, Attack, Defense and Wrath. Let's talk about the Wrath.
    I have always thought that wrath was a bad thing. One should try to control one's temper, don't you agree? Evidently, when fighting Titans, a little wrath is helpful in battles. Just so you know.
    I have a Perk, also. Right out of the box, I got a golden ball of string, which is something I always wanted. This stuff, when tapped, will lay down a glowing trail to any treasure in the vicinity. This is sometimes gold coins, or healing, or even wrath.
There are other perks as well.
    I like the sword fighting in this game. You fight a lot of guys. Some of them are, I hate to sound negative, but they are butt ugly. One is a Minotaur, half man, half bull, like the old legends. I had to put some swordplay on that dude. Then there was a woman who got on Zeus's bad side and he supposedly turned her into a giant spider. The only way to beat her, er.. it, was to wait until her eyes turned green. I figure it is some sort of jealousy thing. Ditto for a monster, again female, with 4 legs and two arms and the weirdest teeth you have ever seen. She has rotating blade-like teeth and emits a shrill cry that I found unnerving. Again, watch for her eyes to turn green. I figure Zeus must have a thing for chicks with green eyes.
     There are three difficulty levels and I beat Normal. The graphics are as good as any I have seen, ever, on IOS. Oh, by the way, some advice for battles. When you fight multiple dudes at once, watch for one geezer that stands to the side and throws blue globs of health at his minions. Kill that guy first because, obviously, you can't have him healing these guys you are disposing of.
    Also, walk over all vases, because they have gold. Speaking of gold. I didn't have to buy in-apps to finish. I found the game quite fair and above-board. I had no lags or problems on my I-Pad Air.
     It seems that there is a touch of Renaissance on the app store right now. I have bought several nice games lately. For several months I have much enjoyed gaming again. Speaking of renaissance, you should check out the architecture in some of these places. I fought in one city where they were building giant horses. I gather the residents had some sort of horse cult. I figured they probably liked to get wasted on Saturday night and crawl up in these giant horses. Whatever.
     I guess that hits the high points of this excellent game. I highly recommend this game. Good night.

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...

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...
