Anybody noticed this before?

[Sgt Pepper 864]

So I was watching the opening video thing while SimCity was loading and there was something that caught my eye that I never noticed until recently-

I circled it in red, It's one of those brown boxes that say "SimCity.com" that we all hate to see and I just saw it in the opening cinematic to SimCity4. I hope this is the right place to post this...I really didn't know where. This might not be the most interesting thing ever...but I thought it was worth to share.

[Tysons4 68]

pretty good eye you got there... i also like how the people running from the robot are pointing in the wrong directions...

[gio10469 24]

Wow I would have never caught that! Thats pretty funny.

[z1 566]

That is really funny, all right - as long as you don't think too hard about the implications...

[joshriddle 29]

That is very neat, never noticed! Hehe.

[blade2k5 1,523]

I never noticed it either, but then again, Iskip the opening credits as it wastes time loading the game. That is amusing though.

[Livin in Sim 83]

  Who said there was no truth in advertising?

[TheCrybKeeper 301]

Lol! That truly is hilarious!

[Cobraroll 138]

Haha, excellent.

Shows that this game was MEANT to have trouble with brown boxes from the get go. I'm aware that they can pass unnoticed when you swipe over the city, but I'm surprised that the guys that put together the clips to form the intro didn't see it. After all, making all those effects requires you to look at each section of the video several times.

It's warning everybody. You will never be without brown boxes..........ever.

To small and unnoticeable to be a warning in my opinion.

Actually....i havent had a brown box in ages. i just get little red and green splotches 

[Indiana Joe 1,751]

*Facepalm* Maxis screws up yet again.

And I don't think I've ever had a brown box in any of my cities...I'm picky and thorough about what I download.

[SimCity4IE 203]

It seems to be in every copy of the game

You must have that mod, I think it was one made by Pegasus. I have it too.

[astronelson 339]

If the red and green splotches are supposed to be cars/trucks/etc., try putting the game on hardware rendering.

[joshriddle 29]

I caught it too!

[Ryan123220 18]

wow, that is just awesome. Wonder if anyone from maxis ever caught it. Maybe you are the first person in the world to catch that?!?! would be cool

[Bow-wow-wow 1]

Wow. Just wow.

[Albatross Domain 2]

As long as this game has been out going on 8 years! That is pretty halarious.

[wwetom1 831]

I wonder what dependancy they're missing...

[Cornish terrorist 1]

perhaps the BOX is something like a building or prop that they removed from the game before it was completed.

[BurroDiablo 222]

7 and a half ***** years I've had this game and never, ever noticed this!

[Sgt Pepper 864]

Sublimibal Missing Dependency Messaging. It makes me wonder other things I need to notice on this game...

[lucky7 73]

Well, I really wonder what dependancies you guyes would miss... honestly spoken. Forgive me, but htere isn't such a big deal about this as this can easily be solved by DL essential dependancies and further more

How do you get the boxes

Mostly from when you download a plugin, and you are missing dependencie(s), what the game relies on to make that plugin function as it should. If it cannot find that dependency, then it shows up as a box, or missing props or textures.
