Wait! So you're saying the game works just like real-life cities? Buses that clog streets because you can't get people to ride them? Singular highway entrance ramps that cause traffic nightmares? Cities fighting with each other to be the best at one particular thing? It's the PERFECT...

Hey, Change.org is all well and good, but should be augmented by signing the petition to the White House at We the People. It would be interesting if we can get the 100,000 sigs needed to see what their response would be...

I had not even heard of the movie before I got to the theater, and only saw it because the movie we were going to see started earlier than we had thought. Now, I am SO very happy that we saw this movie instead. It's very dense and crazy to follow with all the jumping around, but the whole ride...

Were you guys there this year? The Escapist was listed, but I didn't make it to the far side of the Con until Sunday, and what should have been your booth was taken instead by an artist of...questionable moral fiber. Pretty, but not exactly what I was looking for! I was too surprised (and...

My new New Yorker friends (and I as well, come to think of it...) like to bash my home state Ohio, but they really do some things awesome!

I'd probably be some old bureaucrat within the government that does his job well but was never outspoken or political enough to make it into the elite and thus has reserved himself to silently witnessing the goings-on of the Citizenry and secretly writing a book about his observations that will...

And I thought I was the oldest with the least posts! You, sir, can have my Crown of Shadows with full humility and esteem!

Not lurking anymore LIKE A BOSS!

I come for the content and stay to watch the fireworks, what can I say? I don't know whether to be proud or ashamed... Maybe I'll get to 100 by year 5!

Holy crap, I've been a member for 4 years now?! And been lurking for 5? Well, nice to say hi to some of those I remember reading posts from long ago. I just miss the weekly magazine... I'll go back in my lurker hole now. It's nice every so often to come out and see the sun. I'll come back out...

Really enjoyed the panel, and wish I could have been there in person! Now that I have a degree in something other than game design or whatnot, it's good to know that didn't cause my dreams to be dashed... I got my degree in Urban Planning, and now I'm trying to figure out how to maneuver that...

This new version tears at me so... Insomniac is a great developer and I'm sure that the quality of the game will be high, but it seems to have lost it's heart. Insomniac is a rare studio in that they can have both high quality in gameplay and graphics yet move to the beat of their own drum. This...

Being a new Urban Planner that did a senior paper on using games to help plan cities, it's nice to know that others are thinking along the same lines (Especially someone as awesome as Notch!) I know gamification is considered by some to be a dirty word (I go back and forth about it myself...)...

But...but Sim City's why I became an Urban Planner! THEY CAN'T DO THAT TO MEEEEEE! Now it'll be just as annoying as trying to plan a real city, with all those (shudder) OTHER people messing with your ideas and telling you you can't put a nuclear power plant next to that school and complaining...

Gah! They better not screw up the new Sim City at least... Though that may be the last game I buy from them, now that Mass Effect's over.
