I think you're right. You know how they have those "virtual rollercoasters" where you have 3D glasses and the screen has a first-person view of it? You're not actually experiencing the motion yet you feel the effects.

Kairon, in a pool the water is supposed to be transparent, how is it that it was blue? Oh, I too hate how our imagination pulls these silly pranks on us. Many imaginary sea monsters have surfaced to scare the hell out of me, on the very few times that I was on a boat from 3" from the water level (in a river that was flowing directly into the sea) to 10' on my way to Center Island. Even now just thinking about going on a boat ride I get phobic. Oh, and I learned how to swim when I was 18, back stroke(sp?) first so I wouldn't look down to the depths (3') of the pool, lol.

KashigiStogi, I see what you mean about the lemon example, so it's like we have the best simulator in the world and it's inside our cranium.

IceCold, I don't know how much of an effect a small viewing screen is going to affect me, but it doesn't help that I'm 6' from a 50" screen and I get the effect to incredible levels, my stomach churns so much I feel like I'm going to pass out from all those non-existant 'G's.

Mario, thank you. (by the way, am I supposed to say "thank you" or "you're welcome" when a compliment is received?...english is not my first language).

If someone gives you a compliment, you say "Thank you."  Or if they help you with anything, really.

Unless you're Kairon, then you say "Thank you!" to third parties who don't do anything for us all the time.  :-P

I guess it was a trick of the light. It was almost pitch black outside (it was wintertime, so the sun set early) and the lighting just made the pool so much more ethereal... or maybe I've just come in contact with too much chlorine...

Have you ever thought that perhaps I'm trying to guilt-trip third parties?

Ah, thanks. Usually I just become speechless when I'm complimented.

Or if they help you with anything, really.
Oh I know that one for sure.

If kairon is into game development, then he's probably just checking on what not to do.

Really? I think there's no better time to swim. I love the way water reflects the sunset. I even like swimming in lakes at sunset.

Swimming in a lake at night isn't cool though. I'm not afraid of the water persay, I'm more afraid of someone pulling up with their headlights all bright, getting out and stepping to the shore; just standing there watching me swim. Since it's dark I can't really see them, but I can tell some is there and there not moving; just watching, just waiting.

Creepy.

I do like swimming in little white water streams at night. The type that have those little drop offs that you can sit under and have water fall onto you. It's so peaceful.

I beat Galaxy a couple nights ago.  I think I got pretty much every single star except for the purple coin challenges.  Goddamn, the hidden star in Dreadnought Galaxy was almost impossible (the second time you have to blow up the garbage piles in 30 seconds).  I'm surprised I haven't seen more people complain about it.

My only complaint about the game is that coins are pretty much pointless.  Sure, it keeps track of your high scores, but they don't mean anything.  I wish there was some sort of standard/challenge set in place for each level (e.g. try to collect 25 coins in this level!) to give me a goal.  Without a benchmark I don't feel compelled to try for a high score.

Well once you figured out the trick to it, it wasn't too hard. You could pick up the second bob-omb from the left and active the other two to the right of it. Place all of these bombs toward the right in the spots designated by the yellow coins. Next pick up the second bob-omb from the right and activate the 2 to the left of it and repeat what you did with the first set of 3 bob-ombs. I didn't realize you could light the bob-ombs with the lit bob-omb, but once I did I breezed through the challenge

Oh, I was able to figure out the necessary placement pretty quickly; it was the execution that took forever.  It probably took me about forty tries before I got it.  3 SECONDS TO SPARE!

I passed that on the third try, but again, I'm more surprised no one's complaining about the Melty Molten Daredevil Run. Though I just realised that you can shoot the flame buggers with star bits, which makes it considerably easier. I went back again and beat in on the second try this time. But seriously, only one hit bar on that level?

I actually found that to be incredibly rewarding; not hard.

So I have one final star to get on the Dreadnaught level...I guess you figure out which one I am having problems with....the really evil one.  

Anybody have any advice?  Please...any at all.

Well if it is the hidden star you are referring to, see my post on the previous page where the text is hidden by spoiler tags.

Yeah that star was a damn headache. If you have any friends around it might make it easier for them to grab the second remote and let them block some of the flying spheres and bullet bills for you.

I'm not sure if this is what you're stuck with, but why don't you go to the Hungry Luma near the Terrace, then pay him 20 star bits to move the Comets?
