I'll Miss Dewey Crowe

   Howdy. Tonight was the start of the final season of Justified on FX and this post will have some spoilers.
     First off, about that title. Dewey Crowe is a character I love. He is so delightfully, deliciously stupid. I loved the guy, I should say. Well, his cousin(?) Boyd shot the ole boy tonight and I felt saddened by it. That's when you know that someone has created a cool character. When the fans grieve for him. Of course, Harlan County, Kentucky is a dangerous place.
    Let me say that Damon Herriman stars as Dewey and does a wonderful job. What a great actor. Damon is an Australian bloke, by the way. At any rate, Dewey was working for Boyd Crowder, a ruthless but charming criminal in Harlan. And, when Boyd loses trust in you, bad things happen. So. Dewey is no longer with us.
     Let me also say that I am aggravated with the hero of the show, Raylan Givens. (Tim Olyphant). Raylan is a U.S. Marshall and has a justified reputation as a man who is ruthless, and likes to quick draw his gun like an old west gunfighter. When he draws it, someone usually dies. I love the character and if I had to pick a guy to play Cedric Gant (my western character) in a movie, this would be the guy. But Raylan is using, rather misusing, a woman named Ava Crowder. (Beautifully played by Joelle Carter, born not far from my old stomping grounds in Thomasville, Georgia..) Raylan got Ava out of prison on the proviso that she would betray her love interest, the aforementioned Boyd Crowder. (Played wonderfully by Walton Goggins.) Raylan put her in danger and holds the threat of prison over the head of a woman who once loved him and slept with him. That seems to me like an awful thing to do to a stranger, let alone a lover. Sure, it's just a show, but I am really irritated with the lawman.
     Furthermore, I can't see Raylan getting out of this final season alive. He should have gone to Miami to be with his family. But no, he had to do this one final job. Those 'one last things' are the ones that get a lot of guys. One last heist, one last woman, one last drink. The list is endless. I figure that it is a tossup on just who will punch Raylan's ticket to eternity. Ava has already killed a man, her ex. She cooked him a nice supper and shot him with a shotgun while he was consuming fried chicken. Boyd and Raylan dug coal together, back in the day, but that won't stop Boyd from killing him.
     I hate to see Raylan cash in, if he does. I'd hate to see Boyd die...or Ava, for that matter. Raylan has a grave prepared out at his Dad's old house. Heck, even the gravestone is there; all it needs is one more date. Will that be at the end of the season? Only time will tell.
     This is one of the great television series of all time. It is meant for adults, for sure. I heartily recommend it to you. It would be cool for you to start at season one and just watch it all the way through. It is one of those shows where they are gonna end the series at the right time, I think. This is the fourth or fifth season, I think. I have bought them all on DVD and I have watched them more than once. You can watch them on Netflix or stream them on Amazon.com.
   Good night. I'm CE Wills.
P.S. This show is on every Tuesday night at 10PM on FX. That is channel 136 on Dish Network.
P.S.S The best thing about this show is that I grew up with a lot of people like those in this show. When I see the show, I think "Wow, he/she is just like old so-and-so." It is like a hillbilly Game of Thrones. Ha, ha.

Four Free Games

     Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store. 1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore . You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night. 2) The Heist - A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puz...

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

    This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

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...
