Topic | Life advice |
Sunhawk 08/20/20 2:22:28 PM #3 | This topic appears to contain some breakdowns in logical and critical thinking skills. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | How many movies do you think you've watched in your life? |
Sunhawk 08/20/20 2:21:36 PM #9 | A thousand, maybe? Who knows. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Why do developers occasionally put photos of their...babies, in credits? |
Sunhawk 08/20/20 2:20:41 PM #1 | Maybe I'm just imagining things, but I'm pretty sure Halo 3 has pictures in the credits of the developers' babies. Wtf. Halo 3 was a great game until that point, and then that ruined EVERYTHING. Thoughts on this? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Games not getting a physical release annoys me. |
Sunhawk 08/20/20 2:09:15 PM #2 | I agree completely. Unless I REALLY like the look of a game, I won't buy it if it's only a digital release. The vast majority of modern games in my collection are physical (and all the old ones, of course). It's lazy. There are plenty of games out there for the Switch that I'd like to play, but don't because they're only digital. Sad how things are going. Really is. I want to see stuff on my shelves, to say nothing of not taking up too much harddrive space. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | How many of these famous figures, dead and alive, do you recognise? |
Sunhawk 08/14/20 3:29:29 PM #13 | When you think about it, people on CE should know who each of those people are. I mean. Really. Get it together. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Am I supposed to just hammer buttons in Bayonetta, or what? |
Sunhawk 08/14/20 3:05:15 PM #7 | I did, but I never got at at good at witch time, or whatever it's called. People talk like it's really easy, and it's pretty tough. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Am I supposed to just hammer buttons in Bayonetta, or what? |
Sunhawk 08/14/20 3:02:15 PM #1 | When I'm far away, I keep tapping the long range attack button; when I'm close, I tap the short range attack button. Is there meant to be any kind of logic or whatever to this, or is it just button mashing? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Sunhawk is a good poster. |
Sunhawk 08/14/20 2:48:11 PM #1 | Sunhawk is a good poster, and CE generally benefits from having him. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Explain to me how Lost Highway is a good film. SPOILERS |
Sunhawk 08/14/20 2:34:54 PM #1 | People talk about what an excellent film it is, and some consider it to be David Lynch's best film, but after seeing it twice, I still find it a little boring. Bare in mind, I love David Lynch. Well? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

Topic | Is Close Encounters of the Third Kind good? |
Sunhawk 08/14/20 2:10:17 PM #1 | I think I might've seen it when I was very, very young...but I only barely remember it. I know it's considered one of the most important science fiction films of the eighties...thoughts on it? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | How many of these famous figures, dead and alive, do you recognise? |
Sunhawk 08/14/20 11:39:53 AM #1 | There are forty names in the list below. If you recognise at least fifteen, you pass, and that is a good score; more than twenty-five is a very good score; thirty-five or more is an excellent score. Look over the list, and then post what you scored. Lots of random names, there.

Topic | TV science fiction, by tier. |
Sunhawk 08/14/20 5:45:19 AM #1 | Fanfastic Tier X-Files Excellent Tier Voyager Deep Space Nine Lost Babylon 5 Very Good Tier The Next Generation Star Trek (The Original Series) Enterprise Good Tier Battlestar Galactica (Remake) The Outer Limits (Remake) Okay Tier Crusade Under The Dome Very Bad Tier Discovery What do you think, CE? Thoughts? I've seen a lot of TV sci-fi over the years, both space sci-fi and present day Earth-based sci-fi. It does vary, although some of it is certainly very entertaining. Do you watch much? I suppose things aren't really like they used to be, though. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Why did the Protestant Church fragment into SO many different groups, but... |
Sunhawk 08/14/20 5:19:10 AM #3 | I mean...modern day Catholics are simple Catholic...there aren't really any sub-divisions. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

Sunhawk 08/14/20 5:10:18 AM #1 | ...the Catholic Church is still considered one entity or group, even after almost two millennia? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Are you tactful around a girl with a big chest? |
Sunhawk 08/13/20 3:51:52 PM #1 | I'm tactful. So very tactful. The girls have nothing to be annoyed about. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

Topic | I'm in my mid-thirties and my memory is getting much worse. |
Sunhawk 08/13/20 2:23:23 PM #1 | Should I be worried? In my early thirties, my memory was considered by myself and others to be excellent. I remember many occasions where CE trolled me about how "creepy" it was that I remembered things so well. Now, my memory is still reasonably good, but not great. What does this mean, friends? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | I'm starting to think Trump might actually get kicked out of power this year. |
Sunhawk 08/13/20 11:26:00 AM #1 | For a very long time, I was all doom and gloom and thought he would get a second term, but only by a slim margin; now I think that Biden will get into power but only by a slim margin. Still, a win's a win, right? The future is not longer doomed! --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | TIL about the existence of the Dark Triad. |
Sunhawk 08/13/20 8:08:28 AM #1 | This a comination of negative personality traits that make a person more likely to be a criminal, cause social problems for others, and so on. The traits are narcisicim, psychopathy, and Machievalism. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | The great thing about my hometown is all the parks. |
Sunhawk 08/13/20 8:04:15 AM #1 | We have maybe ten different parks, of varying size, design and "feel". Plenty of nice spaces to go to, especially in Summer. There's the "main" park, which is just off of the High Street, and which has generally been my favourite park for many years. Does where you live have many green spaces? Do you actually care about them? I guess some don't even like parks. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Well, I'm playing Bayonetta again. You know. On Easy Mode. |
Sunhawk 08/13/20 7:44:36 AM #1 | This is an extremely rare and pretty embarrassing thing for me...playing on Easy Mode. But I did finally get past the first main level, and am on the second now. Game is still pretty boring. I just don't see the appeal. The graphics are excellent, though. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | How do you feel about people who like their managers? |
Sunhawk 08/13/20 5:29:43 AM #1 | How do you feel about people like this? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Confused? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

Sunhawk 08/12/20 3:34:44 PM #2 | Bang a hot redneck girl. Obviously. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | People obsessed with graphics are MUCH, MUCH worse than twenty years ago. |
Sunhawk 08/12/20 6:12:35 AM #4 | I'm not talking about the graphics themselves. I'm talking about the people obsessed with them. I mean, I thought Halo Infinite looked excellent, but people seem to think it has SNES-level graphics or something. What has happened to gamers? I'm serious. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | People obsessed with graphics are MUCH, MUCH worse than twenty years ago. |
Sunhawk 08/12/20 6:05:11 AM #1 | I mean, I can't stand these people. They are just insufferable. In retrospect, the people from twenty years ago were NOTHING compared to these people. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Is was so hot last night, in the UK, I could barely sleep at all. |
Sunhawk 08/12/20 6:02:05 AM #1 | This is very rare for my country. I love hot weather, but at night it's a bit much, you know? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

Sunhawk 08/11/20 2:01:12 PM #1 | I'm so glad that guy introduced us to such a believable, well-proven scientific concept! --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Why do crazy people think what they have to say is extremely urgent? |
Sunhawk 08/11/20 1:53:09 PM #1 | Even if what they say deals with something that might not happen for years (if ever, of course), why do they need to be so urgent and excited about it? Why? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Someone told me something hilariously stupid recently. |
Sunhawk 08/11/20 1:16:50 PM #9 | Sphyx posted... Good to see you got her first name right this time, TC. When did I ever get her name wrong, Sphyx, and what exactly did I say? @Sphyx --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Someone told me something hilariously stupid recently. |
Sunhawk 08/11/20 10:49:04 AM #1 | Apparently, Emmeline Pankhurst, who was a famous British feminist who lived in the early twentieth century, was the woman in mid-twentieth century America, who was black and refused to get up off a bus, triggering the civil rights movement under Martin Luther King. I had no idea. Seriously. Talking to the person who said this is like listening to Trump make one of his amazing speeches. Better, even. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | I spend a lot of time just wandering around random streets and pathways. |
Sunhawk 08/11/20 10:36:14 AM #1 | Is this strange? I've been known to do it in other towns and cities, as well. Am I a bad person? Do I have too much time on my hands? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | I worked in a gaming store, and later when I reapplied, they didn't want me. |
Sunhawk 08/11/20 8:35:15 AM #1 | What does this mean, CE? Can you explain this to me with really, really simple language and puppets? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | There is still a funamental thing about Christianity that really confuses me. |
Sunhawk 08/11/20 8:27:12 AM #9 | Why is an historical record untrue just because it's old? Also, people still read the philosophy of Plato, Aristotle, and so on. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | There is still a funamental thing about Christianity that really confuses me. |
Sunhawk 08/11/20 8:23:59 AM #5 | So if Jesus hadn't died, we would ALL go to Hell, as opposed to just some? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | There is still a funamental thing about Christianity that really confuses me. |
Sunhawk 08/11/20 8:19:31 AM #1 | So, Jesus was meant to die for our sins. But, if we sin, we can still get sent to Hell. What, then, is the purpose of Jesus being sent to earth by God to die? I must admit, this is one of the most fundamental concepts in Christianity, and despite reading most of the Bible, going to hundreds of Church services, and sitting through many, many hours of Sunday school, I still don't even know the answer. Am I just stupid? Is this Sunhawk being stupid...again? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | I've been rereading some of the Bible today. Romans, which is very important. |
Sunhawk 08/11/20 8:12:24 AM #1 | The problem is, despite the apparent importance of the Book of Romans, it's one of the most muddled and confusing parts of the Bible. You would've thought Paul, as he spread Christianity throughout the known world, would've wanted to be clearer. Still an interesting book, though, as is most of the New Testament IMHO. The Old Testament is pretty boring in places, but does have some very important sections, and it's certainly got some very interesting material. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
Topic | Juno Temple is a very good actress. She's in some new Netflix series. |
Sunhawk 08/10/20 3:44:10 PM #1 | Little Birds, I think is the name. She's thirty-one now, but still quite pretty. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

Topic | Should I give Bayonetta another go? I have roughly five hours in it, and... |
Sunhawk 08/10/20 1:48:55 PM #1 | ...neither particularly liked it, nor did I get the hang of the basic gameplay. I dunno. The graphics are excellent, but I really can't get into the way it plays. I've got five hours in it, and am still on the first main level. This is on Normal Mode. Should I just be a casual gamer, and switch to Easy Mode? Would that make me a bad person? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |

Sunhawk 08/10/20 5:53:08 AM #2 | First post made me laugh, I won't deny it. A couple of years ago, maybe? That was quite good fun. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. |
