| Topic | Do you miss how I used to talk about films ALL the time? |
| Sunhawk 11/05/20 3:41:35 PM #1 | Or are you happier now that I don't? Seriously. For about five years I was obsessed with films. I liked them almost as much as video games (that's a damned lot). I was watching them online, especially if I wanted to watch some really obscure film, either very old or postmodern; I would watch DVDs from my collection; I would watch them on TV. I made frequent topix about them, trying to get CE enthusiastic, and failing each time. I tried to watch at least one hundred films a year. Good times. These days, I dunno. I still really, really like films, and watch a film from my collection almost every day, but it's not quite the same. What's happened, friends? I never did succeed in getting CE into serious films, did I? They still watch their movies, and their other trash. And they still laugh when I call a horror film Horror Film. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
| Topic | Remember when new consoles had at least one massive game at launch? |
| Sunhawk 11/05/20 10:58:44 AM #1 | N64, Super Mario 64 Dreamcast, Sonic Adventure 1 XBox 360, Call of Duty 2 Saturn, Daytona USA Gamecube, Rogue Squadron XBox, Halo 1 And so on. What do we have with the new XBox, or the new Playstation? The Xbox has no Halo, and almost every title is a port; the Playstation, I can't even remember anything big. What happened to this once proud industry? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
| Topic | Pikmin 3 Deluxe is great fun. But the controls in 3 were a lot better. |
| Sunhawk 11/05/20 7:59:52 AM #1 | This is possibly the best game on Switch. I'm not sure. The controls do cause a lot of problems. The sheer amount of content is extremely impressive, a combination of the original content, the free DLC content, and completely new content, such as the after hours mode. The graphics are excellent, but essentially unchanged. Such a fun game. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

| Topic | I've been doing a harsh diet for eight days now. |
| Sunhawk 10/09/20 10:47:18 AM #6 | This is the best way to eat less calories than I burn. It's funny. Exercise obviously burns calories, especially stuff like running and swimming, and yet I've NEVER really lost anything but exercising. So, I only eat a little every day. The food itself is REASONABLY healthy, things like potatoes, vegetables, some meat, and such. Not extremely healthy, but not just junk food, like McDonalds food, or chocolate, and so on. I suppose I'm aiming to lose about thirty pounds. That will make me skinny, or at least, very thin. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
| Topic | I've been doing a harsh diet for eight days now. |
| Sunhawk 10/09/20 10:37:24 AM #1 | Basically, I've spent most of my life as thin or skinny (and sometimes very skinny), but a while back I got up to a medium build. Still a healthy BMI, according to my doctor, but even so. I've put myself on my proprietary diet, that I developed 13 or 14 years ago, which basically allows my one large meal a day, and one snack. And that's it. Must be very low calorie. I've been doing this for just over a week. Unlike most people who are dieting, I didn't bother to weigh myself at the beginning of the diet, and am mostly planning to go on visual appraisals. When I no longer look a medium build, but rather skinny, is when I will probably stop. Possibly before. I except this will take roughly two months of this radical diet. Dieting is horrible, though. Barely eating. If's funny, you find yourself noticing how much you snack during the day, on and off. Snacking is a habit. Thoughts on all this? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
| Topic | Why the hate for Mario Sunshine? |
| Sunhawk 10/09/20 8:38:49 AM #50 | I had Sunshine for at least six months before I really like it that much. I got it when it first came out, and the first few hours were great fun, doing the early bits of Bianco Hills, but then it just seemed boring. I didn't like Serena Beach or Ricco Harbour much, and I didn't get very far. Then, a long time later, I opened up Pinna Park and the various other worlds, which made things a lot more fun, and made a serious effort with the blue coins, to say nothing of the three "secret" Shines in each world, and really enjoyed it. Excellent game. Really opens up nicely later on, and once you see how clever the exploration and platforming are, and see how just how challenging the whole affair is, you understand the quality of the game. To be fair, it's definitely not on the same level as 64. Super Mario 64 had twice as many levels, a LOT more variety, and had less filler, but it's still excellent. I can't believe how many modern games who got the rerelease are turning up their noses at it. Except, I CAN believe it. Modern gamers and casual gamers. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

| Sunhawk 10/09/20 8:06:44 AM #1 | Like, gotten you suspended, gotten you fired, prevented you from getting the promotion you deserved, caused problems between you and your manager, and so on? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
| Topic | How many members of the Brat Pack can you name, off the top of your head? |
| Sunhawk 10/08/20 3:15:08 PM #1 | This is important. You don't care much about films if you can't name at least a few. Of course, different people have different ideas about who really belongs in the Brat Pack. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
| Topic | I used to really like Dead Rising. The original. |
| Sunhawk 10/08/20 3:02:15 PM #1 | Unusual design, very clever, lots of good action, tons and tons of content, superb graphics for the time, and it was certainly very challenging. It's been years since I've really played it, though. I never did everything. Thoughts on this game? Is it important to the history of video games? I think so. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
| Topic | Are albums like Blonde On Blonde, and Highway actually worth listening to? |
| Sunhawk 10/08/20 1:46:24 PM #1 | I'm not sure if I've ever actually listened to Bob Dylan. I know some of his earliest albums are considered classics, seminal works, huge achievements, and so on.

| Topic | Short girls with very big boobs are great. |
| Sunhawk 10/07/20 11:26:12 AM #1 | I've hardly ever seen any, but ocassionally. I used to see this girl at a local bookstore, about five foot tall, and easily had a D cup, if not an E cup.
