| Topic | Germany has possibly the most interesting history of the 20th century. |
| MeIon Bread 10/23/18 5:29:03 AM #3 | herewego.jpg Why exactly is it heading back to the days of the Nazi regime? Is this because of the right / alt-right / far right making gains in politics? To be fair, that's not exactly the same thing as something equivalent to the Nazi regime. --- Sunhawk's main alternate account.

| MeIon Bread 10/22/18 11:53:07 AM #13 | I thought both NSMBU and NSMBW were great, but the Wii game was better. So much originality and clever ideas...the U game had almost nothing new at all, except for the new modes. Couldn't believe it. Remember using the motion sensing controls in the Wii to control the lights on a boat? Or tilting a platform as it rose up through an area? --- Sunhawk's main alternate account.

| MeIon Bread 10/22/18 11:48:22 AM #3 | It also has Alien Soldier, which I always wanted to play but never got the chance. Has anyone actually played this on the PS4 or XBox One? Because I heard there are actually quite serious porting problems, and a video I watched looked pretty jerky in places, but I'm not sure if it's the video or the actual games. This is probably the biggest compilation I've ever seen, with over 50 games in it. --- Sunhawk's main alternate account.

I actually still have them for the Mega Drive, but I haven't set it up in years, and besides, it's not even compatible with my new TV.

I enjoyed Luigi U a lot more and would recommend it just for that game alone. Is Luigi U like Bros U? I mean, in addition to standard playthroughs of levels, are they also the star coins, etc. to find, or it just pared down, so you just go through levels and that's it? --- Sunhawk's main alternate account.

| Topic | Saw a new Hammer Horror film last night, which is always a good thing. :D |
| MeIon Bread 10/18/18 1:52:38 PM #1 | Medusa. It was pretty much about what you would think. Had both Cushing and Lee in, which is a very good sign. Not a bad film, although only mid level in the context of Hammer Horror films. You know, back in 2016 when I first really discovered Hammer, I said that I wanted to eventually watch through all of their films. Sadly, about 2 years later, I've still only seen 7 or 8, out of maybe over 100. I catch them on TV sometimes, but they're surprisingly hard to find in other ways for free. I wish the UK Horror Channel would show them much more often. I like vampires, strange creations, demons and witches. --- Sunhawk's main alternate account.

| Topic | Why do you think is the highest karma user who ever got banned? |
| MeIon Bread 10/18/18 11:56:41 AM #1 | Goggalator getting banned got me thinking. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone who had more karma (he had about 2,000+ karma, apparently). I suppose there was mrduckbear3, who had a lot of karma, but I don't know how much. Maybe 1,500, or more? Hilariously, back in the day there was TimeBomb, who had about 1,000 karma at one point, but got modded SO much and SO often, he went down to about 300 karma, and was finally banned. That one doesn't really count, of course. Most high karma users just get sent to Purgatory for a while, right? --- Sunhawk's main alternate account.

| Topic | Goggalor is BANNED |
| MeIon Bread 10/18/18 11:28:44 AM #112 | Wow. I thought Goggalator was a halfway decent user. I remember him getting really upset and frustrated from time to time, but didn't realise he was so bad. Also, after seeing his writing, he seemed like a pretty bad "artist". I think he had one book sell 10 copies in 2 months or something, lulz. Well, maybe he'll come back. Who knows. I'm surprised a user with over 2,000 karma got banned, though. Generally speaking, users with at least 1,000 karma just get put in Purgatory for a while, which makes them behave again. I guess it does occasionally happen, though. RIP Man Goggolator. --- Sunhawk's main alternate account. I'm just a little bit caught in the middle, life is a maze and love is a riddle. |
