Topic | Do you think the 1990s will ever come back? |
Sunhawk 12/10/19 6:58:20 AM #1 | Maybe, instead of 2020, it'll be 1990 soon. Just think, Mario is getting big, Sonic is about to come out, Terminator 2 will be out soon. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

Sunhawk 12/09/19 11:33:34 AM #3 | I dunno. I heard that Unravel 2 was really short, and have maybe 25 hours on it. I heard that Little Nightmares was short, and...I guess it was. And boring.

Topic | Super Lucky's Tale is out for the Switch on Friday. |
Sunhawk 12/09/19 11:27:08 AM #1 | My copy has already been pre-ordered, and should arrive...Friday. I don't know why people are so down on this game. From the footage I've seen, it looks like a lot of fun. Graphics are slightly simple, and there probably aren't any new significant ideas, but...so what? Not every game has to be Banjo-Kazooie or SM64. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Dire Dire Docks and Tiny Huge Island should've been cut from Super Mario 64. |
Sunhawk 12/09/19 9:42:20 AM #1 | DDD was a pretty bad level, to be quite honest. Not dreadful. But bad. And there were already a couple of water levels, one of which was great fun. Tiny Huge Island was dreadful. Great concept, very poorly executed. Not much fun to play, awful graphics where the water just stopped 10 metres from the island, and the gusts of wind were cheap as fuck. Every other level was worth including, and some were excellent, e.g. Tick Tock Clock. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

Topic | I bought a book on the history of the United States today. Looks good. |
Sunhawk 12/09/19 9:33:55 AM #1 | It includes stuff like colonial America, and then covers from 1776 to about 1990. It's over 600 pages long, and the print size is...small. It seems to spend a lot of time on politics, but also has cultural / zeitgeistal content. I'm already VERY knowegable about 20th century America, but what I know about the 19th and 18th centuries isn't too detailed, with some exceptions. Thoughts? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

Topic | Greatest American zeitgeist novel of all time? |
Sunhawk 12/08/19 1:58:38 PM #3 | I've read that book more than once, but thought it was really average. Just didn't appeal to me much. Fascinating time period, though. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

Sunhawk 12/07/19 3:24:29 PM #1 | I really like The Architect scene in general, but the bit at the end was great. Neo: "If I were you, I would hope that we don't meet again." Architect (glibly): "We don't." Good times. Shame about the 3rd film, of course. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | I'm still COMPLETELY confused about what purpose, if any, Stadia serves. |
Sunhawk 12/07/19 3:02:34 PM #1 | So. It's like a regular console, except...there's no physical console. How is this an improvement? What possible advantage could this have, except, of course, taking up less space around your home, which is meaningless, because consoles aren't the same size as FRIDGES. Also, there will probably be problems with lag, internet connections breaking, etc. Plus, there don't seem to be any great first party games.

Sunhawk 12/07/19 2:03:55 PM #1 | Everyone was called Woody, including the girls. Why wasn't there more variety when people were naming their daughters, and forcing names on their siblings' and friends' children?

Topic | You know, I put in over 100 hours into Sonic 2006. It was just like SA1 and SA2. |
Sunhawk 12/07/19 10:34:24 AM #1 | It's basically the same game as the other ones. It's 3D platforming, with a small amount of exploring. The graphics were in the same style, but improved. You played as more than one character. Just like SA1 (but not SA2) it had a hub world. The main campaign was pretty long, i.e. at least 20 hours. There were cutscenes. Things moved fast. Explain to me why it's such a horrible, horrible game. But you can't. Because it isn't. Let's pretend the loading times weren't really bad, and there were no gameplay glitches. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Click Clock Wood is the single greatest level where you climb up something. |
Sunhawk 12/07/19 10:16:57 AM #1 | Don't get me wrong. There are some other great levels. Tall, Tall Mountain; Freezeflame Galaxy; Ricco Harbor (uh, in places). But Click Clock Wood is amazing. Fantastic. It would be perfect, if there was more to do in Winter, and if there weren't QUITE as many birds in the other seasons. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened.

Sunhawk 12/06/19 11:44:29 AM #1 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AkekOnVoMo I've heard there's someone, and I've had years of people on CE complaining about the company, of course. It's in interesting video, but not as damning as I thought. I mean, the stuff he's describing, I've seen plenty of that stuff at several companies I've worked for (including the video game store I worked for, lulz). I thought his complaints would be...worse. Then again, this might just be SOME guy who worked for GameSpot, rather than THE guy. Isn't the company about to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, anyway? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

We don't have these words in British English, or, if we do, they probably don't mean the same thing. This is a serious inquiry.

Oh no! So, pinky, how it's going? I suppose you had a certain well-know CEgirl just recently, that you met at the EFF? I really am just curious. I don't know why you think I'm "obsessed" with your sex life, but that's up to you. People used to talk about their sex lives quite a lot, on CE, especially you, Draje, Kassie (sort of).

Topic | Whoa. I discovered something crazy about the Bible and Jesus, that I never knew. |
Sunhawk 12/05/19 6:48:36 AM #1 | I had no idea about this, which is very surprising, because it seems like an extremely important part of Christian history. Shortly after Jesus' death, Christians divided into 2 factions. There was Paul, who wanted to do things one way; there was James, Jesus' brother, who wanted to do things another way. Basically (this is simplified, of course), James didn't actually think Jesus was the Son of God, but just an important Jewish / Christian leader. Paul thought that Jesus was divine, shepherds and wise men came to visit him on his birth, etc. There was a (non-violent) conflict between the 2 groups, and eventually Paul created what we now consider to be Christianity. The thing is, Paul and many of his people generally didn't actually meet Jesus during his life, and so it gives rise to serious problems with the accuracy of the Gospels. James did. This makes me wonder what kind of a religion I've been encouraged to follow since birth. Did you know this? Thoughts on all this? I can't believe I didn't know this stuff before. Apologies to any Christians on this board if I got details wrong, or simplified too much. <I> </I> --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
