It took me a year and a half just to beat Corruption, and I never even finished the first one or Echoes. I can't even count the amount of times I raged quit over these games. | Rick Ace Rhodes | Feb 08, 2017 |  |
| 33652 | 1960s: The Ultimate Entertainment Decade? | What can I say about, "Planet of the Apes" that hasn't already been said?<div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal;">Outstanding performances by Kim Hunter and Roddy McDowall - these two steal the show!!!</div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><img src="http://www.labutaca.net/lasmejorespeliculas/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/lasmejorespeliculas-ciencia-ficcion-el-planeta-de-los-simios.jpg" style="font-size: 10pt;"></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal;">Now here's a tip on what made the 60's such a great decade for entertainment - actors like Kim Hunter and Roddy McDowall freely moved between movies, television and the stage. The whole decade was filled with wonderful talent that seemed to be "everywhere", taking on various roles.</div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div>Case in point - ol' <b>Mike Connors</b> died a few weeks ago. Mike Connors was from that same generation as Hal Linden, (Barney Miller). Mike could sing, dance, do comedy and drama.

| 33650 | An R-rated Wolverine movie? | <blockquote rel="Mr Magic" style="font-style: normal;"><b>Mr Magic wrote :</b><br><i> @edd:<div><br></div><div>No, you're right.

| 33649 | Gamecube | The GameCube was my last home console that I played like a kid would. I played through Metroid Prime even though it was probably the most uncomfortable time I've ever spent with a game. From the overall mood of isolation and loneliness to the incredibly stressful boss battles where you'd have to make it back to a save station before being killed by a lesser enemy and have to start over. Plus I discovered I get motion sickness playing first person shooters.<div><br></div><div>I got a ton of flack for it in high school. The Cube was seen as a kids toy while the Xbox and PS2 were for the "mature" gamers.</div><div><br></div><div>I loved the Cube, it was full of innocence and wonder. My brother would watch me play Animal Crossing for hours as I'd plant flowers, go fishing and buy supplies. I loved the scenery in Pikmin and achieved a level of art with my SSB Melee skills unheard.</div><div><br></div><div>In Nightfire we'd set a bot at the highest level and my brother, nephew and I would snipe him from rooftops as he scrambled around. Good times</div> | vkimo | Feb 08, 2017 | |
| 33648 | Gamecube | I was so busy playing PS2 when these were being sold. | Mr Magic | Feb 08, 2017 | |
| 33647 | An R-rated Wolverine movie? | I want to see this one. Even though the other Wolverine solo movies weren't that memorable, this one is supposedly Hugh Jackman's last appearance playing the character, so I have a feeling things will be different.<span style="font-size: 10pt;"> I'm not sure if the R rating will be a good thing or a bad thing, as I believe a good movie could be made under any rating if the people behind it are creative enough. We'll just have to wait and see if that ends up helping, hurting, or having no major effect on this movie.</span> | Superman | Feb 08, 2017 | |
| 33646 | Gamecube | <span style="font-style: normal;">I love my Gamecube and still play it regularly. The </span><i>Mario Party</i> games and <i>Luigi's Mansion</i> are my favorite games on the system. | Superman | Feb 08, 2017 | |
| 33645 | Complete series sets | <span style="font-style: normal;">I tend to buy the season sets of TV shows I want on DVD rather than the complete series sets. It's just more convenient for me to buy them that way. I do have the complete series set of </span><i>Gidget</i>, but I had no choice there since that show sadly only lasted one season.<div style="font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><img src="/images/postImages/148651336451TALQQad2L.jpg"></div> | Superman | Feb 08, 2017 | |
| 33644 | Oldies | <span style="font-style: normal;">Great song, Mr. Magic. That song made a memorable appearance in </span><i>Dirty Dancing</i>. | Superman | Feb 08, 2017 | |
