Rhino Dung and Bee Hives: Far Cry Primal

Hey, everyone. Back with you at the Author's Green Retreat. Carley and I have been playing Far Cry Primal on the PS4. We are really enjoying it. Currently we are playing a quest entitled Urki's New Stink. Urki is a stone age inventor. He wanted to fly and landed with a resounding thump after attaching a few feathers to his arms and jumping off a cliff.
     But today, he sought our help again. He had invented a concoction to anoint his body with. In theory, it was supposed to repel bears. Alas, it did not work, so he sent me in search of things to mix a new stink elixir. Here's where he and I disagreed. He wanted 5 piles of rhino dung. Yes, you heard right. I have a picture here somewhere...
     The second ingredient is 3 honey combs or bee hives. I find the thought of mixing honey with rhino dung nauseating. By the way, the pics show these materials as being red and steamy. I certainly am aware that dung, at an early age, can steam. In this case, however, I am using my "hunter vision". By the use of this we can follow clues such as scent or wraith-like senses which enable the happy dung seeker to "feel" the surroundings more astutely. It does, however, take the color out of the lovely landscapes rendered by Ubisoft.
     At any rate, the third ingredient required by the deranged inventor was a tamed brown bear. I am known as the Beastmaster of Oros, being able to bend sabertooths and their ilk to my will. So I was not 'a-skeered' ( as my associates would term it) of this task.
     Setting forth into the wild, I found a herd of rhinos. I suspected that, in such a locale, I might find some rhino dung. Moreover, I reasoned that any self respecting rhino would be willing to share such a common and odorous substance. But nooooooo. Rhinos actually attacked me while I helped myself to their excrement. I guess it was precious in their sight. I suppose that some enterprising rhino was selling the stuff for fertilizer.
     As if things weren't bad enough, I saw a rhino stop and sniff the air as I hid in the weeds. This caused me no end of self-reproach. Thoughts assailed me. "Do I smell so badly that this brute can smell me over the reeking mass just behind him?" I resolved to have a shower under a nearby waterfall.
    I found the bee hives, the poopy and the brown bear. I tamed the bear and took it back to my friend. He was thrilled and applied the mixture to his body. Then he ordered me to instruct my newly trained bear to attack him. I did so, knowing full-well that the creature would maul his skanky rear. This immediately came to pass and I departed for my shower, my pet bear walking at a little  safe distance to my side. From the green retreat, I'm CE Wills.

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

    Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley.     Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...
