| Topic | Why isn't my life like everybody else's? |
| Sunhawk 03/18/18 11:17:35 AM #1 | Going out with friends once or twice a week, being able to buy what I want from Amazon and brick-and-mortar stars, and generally having fun? Everybody else seems to be like this. But not me. And it's been that way for several years, and really, to a lesser extent, quite a few years. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. A three hour tour, a three hour tour... |
| Topic | Bergman is probably the most overrated director I've ever encountered. |
| Sunhawk 03/18/18 7:11:19 AM #1 | Is he fairly good? Yeah. Have I seen 5 or 6 of his films? Sure. But people act like he's amazing. His films are sometimes too slow, he used Liv Ullman WAY too much, and he doesn't make enough effort to allow international audiences to understand Swedish culture. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened.

| Topic | It's mid-March, and snowing outside. |
| Sunhawk 03/18/18 7:00:05 AM #1 | Light to moderate snow, with maybe 2 inches settled on the group. Usually at this time of year in the UK, I'm sitting outside and reading a bit.

| Sunhawk 03/17/18 12:17:00 PM #5 | It's good to see there are still a few film buffs on CE. Shame that nobody knows who Mitchell is. Think Hedvig and the Angry Inch, and Shortbus. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. A three hour tour, a three hour tour... |

| Sunhawk 03/05/18 3:44:09 PM #1 | Lehi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehi_(militant_group) They're basically as bad as al-Queda (but definitely not ISIS), but I hadn't heard of them until this week. Seriously, they assasinated officials, and at one point massacred hundreds of people in a village. Why is this group not more well known? Also, Israel gave them amnesty in the late 40s, and eventually gave out Lehi Medals for former members. Isn't this like mainstream Islam condoning ISIS or something? This was a pretty bad group. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. A three hour tour, a three hour tour... |

| Topic | What games are coming out this year for the Switch? Here's what I can think of. |
| Sunhawk 03/05/18 11:21:55 AM #11 | voldothegr8 posted... Looks like Kirby this month, those dumb cardboard things next month, then Dark Souls remaster and DKCTF in May. A bunch of indie shit in between. Hopefully they step their game up for the 2nd half of 2018 and surprise us at E3. If you mean Yoshi next month, I thought it looks great. It's by Good Feel Inc, who are an excellent company, i.e. they did Yoshi's Woolly World and Wario Land: The Shake Dimension. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened.

| Sunhawk 03/05/18 11:10:45 AM #4 | I'm very excited about Pikmin, but I think Nintendo might be messing us around. I meant, they said it was nearly finished about 2 and a half years ago, and it hasn't come out yet. I hate the way they do this. At least it's in development though...for a while, people thought Pikmin 4 was that handheld Pikmin game. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened.

| Topic | Why have people talked about transexaulity obsessively since 2014? |
| Sunhawk 03/05/18 11:09:28 AM #1 | I mean...how many people are actually transexual / want to be / are non-binary, etc? It's such a non-issue. It seems like about 3 or 4 years ago, people suddenly started talking about it lots out of nowhere. I don't think there was a high profile case that kickstarted things. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. A three hour tour, a three hour tour... |

| Topic | Sonic Forces is reasonably good so far, but not exactly great. |
| Sunhawk 03/05/18 10:30:03 AM #1 | Definitely one of the weakest 3D Sonics I've played...but with some fun value. I'm surprised at the graphics, though. I'm playing on a 9th gen console, and these are either 7th of 8th generation graphics. The Sonics often have cutting edge graphics. I remember seeing Sonic 1 for the first time. Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Unleashes, etc, have superb graphics. What happened to these? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. A three hour tour, a three hour tour... |

| Sunhawk 02/24/18 2:49:40 PM #1 | I've had a copy for a while, and have beaten it and done some extra stuff, but...are there really 50+ moons in most of the worlds? Where the hell are they? I've been exploring pretty hard, and found maybe 300 out of about 900 of them. I've done the moon rock stuff, but I don't understand *how* I'm meant to be exploring. I've never had this much trouble with exploring and collecting in a 3D Mario before. Actually, that's not true. There was one game, release a long time ago. >_> Do you have any advice for me? --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. A three hour tour, a three hour tour... |

| Sunhawk 02/24/18 2:34:34 PM #1 | I've been a fan of Zelda since OOT, but just a quite big fan, not those Zelda nuts you meet sometimes (like on GameFAQs). This, though...is great. So much to do, so many shrines, some cool weapons, a reasonable level of challenge, a living, breathing environment, etc. I see why people love it. I've probably got something like 80 hours on it in 6 weeks, which is very rare for me. I might put in 100+ hours on a game, but over a few months or a year. It's a shame I didn't get it March 07, so I could experience it with everyone else, though. Well, here's my progress. - All 5 bosses beaten, and main quest basically complete - About half the shrines found and done - Master Sword recovered - I've explored all of the map in a general, and found plenty of locations - 40 or 50 Korok Seeds found My percentage reader is about 19%, which is kinda crazy after something like 80 hours. I've had a lot of fun, though. I don't really wanna play it anymore, though, since I've played it so much...maybe come back in a bit and do more shrines and Korok Seeds.
