lol, I have to agree with Gman55, its a bit of a mixed up pile of turd... maybe thats just a promo of some of the building styles (Old European, Old Asian, Futuristic) but I dunno...

Come to mention it...isn't taking zoning/piping/everything out of Sim City going to make it harder in future years? Come Sim City 6 or whatever, they may re-implement Zoning and Pipes and the 4 year olds who bought SCS are going to this- "What the hell is going on here? Wheres my Sims? Wheres my energies? What are all these new things? Wa-ter, Po-wer, La-nd f...fff...ill... isn't Sim City supposed to be about Sims? I think i'm gonna cry...mommy, this is too hard, I hate you!" Dammit people can learn! Were not frigging drones...

lol, indeedy... this is Sim City for toddlers... ... Maybe it'll come out on Wii too then...

Well, they'll come to ST looking for custom content and only find a slither or poorly modeled crappola... I don't know any talented batter that is going to make the transition to SimSoc (Or SimSuck as I call it now), and that will make for poor playability.

Originally posted by: GreekMan MAXIS WANTED A SIMPLER GAME!!!!quote> I'm sure if Maxis was making it, they would have made it simpler. But theres 'Simple' and then theres 'Retarded'... one of them is much worse and more offensive... that my friend, is Societies. Sim City always set the pace for building games... so why step back? Maxis would have known NOT to copy a game that already exists... Look at the Sims! Look at Spore! Both are unique and both are by Maxis! This game is merely stepping in the poorly modeled footsteps of CityLife... a very Ironic turn... Sim City influenced City Life... now City Life is influencing Sim City... I can't help but curse behindgritted teeth everytime I read some more news about the game... I review should give you hope, not a rage induced Tumor.

Its not new Idea's, its just re-hashed City Life ones... we all knew that as soon as the name 'Societies' popped into our heads...

Wow... even after all that abuse the guy still keeps his cool... I respect people like that, I hope you guys do to. I'm sure TM will make SCSoc to the maximum of their abilities... Its also great that their will to hear from us inthe forums... i'll definitley be joining in with that.

EA has a PR department?! Wow... you wouldn't think that...

I'm certain there will be... wouldn't be much of an 'exclusive' without some original pictures...

Well... I'm searching almost every few hours for new SCSoc pics... i'm sure theres plenty others doing it too. Either way, we'll end up seeing those screens/scans without having to buy the mag... lol.

Yeah... thats pretty much it... its all about money with EA... 'Screw the Fans' seems to be thier motto...

I was thinking about making the PDF available for download as soon as I get my hands on it... but I dunno if thats even legal... so I'll just take a few screens and post them here... Thats if nobody beats me to it, lol... no doubt somebody will!!

I dunno when Its coming out, but I keep checking Newzbin for a PDF of it... I know its pretty much released the same time as the Subscribers, so I reckon it'll be here either tomorrow or early next week.

My High School was the best in the Region too... the kids are getting a new one built now, so you can't say the Taxes aren't being put to good use The health care too is fine imo... pay for health care? Yeah, right... could you imagine the riots? We've had free heath care for over 60 years now. The Government needs to take care of its people, everybody is entitled to free, efficient care no matter if your a Lawyer or a Hobo. If we're so desperate to live to 150 that we need to Pay for health care, theres always BUPA or HSA for the people with 'cash'. Besides... means there no real need for Health Insurance... your stupid to go private in the UK because your STILL paying for the NHS no matter what, might as well use what you pay for, thats what I do... You make it sound like the government is going to collapse overnight...

I remember a thread like this turned into a Flame war on another site (that will remain nameless) when an American said something along that line.

I noticed the search had changed a few days ago looking for GLR stations... to be honest, I found it pretty easy to navigate and yeah, It does give better results. Its working for me again now anyway. Thanks for the update!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6719507.stm Ah... you can take Russia out the Cold war, but you can't take the Cold War out of Russia. He's being a little over paranoid but I do belive the US' interests should lie WITHIN its own borders, not in poorer, Eastern European Governments who will do anything for an extra bit of cash. Anywho... discuss... think this will lead to anything?

O rly? Could you mark them out for me because It seems to be working fine in game...

They told you to buy that stuff? lol... Buy a can of air as Easy Bakes said and just blow all the dust out... that should do the trick. I personally never dust my PC's... just seems like a waste of time. Don't worry about all that electro-magnetic stuff, unless your acctually MADE of a Magentic metal you shouldn't have any problems going in without all that gear. My old PC's case was open 24/7 because the Graphic's card kept overheating... I was in it fiddling around almost everyday and it never did it any harm. It still works like a treat, I had to get a new PC though coz it only has a 1.6GHz processor... about a thrid of today's computer power.

I wanna Nuke Gridlock's city so badly...

UPDATE 1.01- STATUS REPORT - Am I lucifer? Today was quite scary. On one of my routine security checks I unexpectedly belched the word 'DAMIAN'... to further that, this is my 666th entry into this dossier... strange? Maybe not... I did take a few shots of Khabarovsk to show you today but my Camera len's was waaaay out of focus, as you can see- I threw the camera into the gutter as you can imagine, It was Siberian rubbish anyway... with the amount of new Industry moving to this City, I can imagine soon I will be holding a Camera of Sakhaliyan origins! It may be bulky and less practical than your 'Samsung' equivelant, but do I care? Well... yes acctually, i do... my back is beginning to hurt and this country is seriously lacking good chiropractors (GOOD ones... not a moustachioed hag named 'Helga' wanting to pound your kidneys for half an hour). My personal vision of what the most evil woman on Earth looks like... Oh, and as for those Siberians... as far as I know the last one was released today... he was thought to have had a bad case of Radiation poisoning when really, he was just allergic to whatever the hell it was the cook put in the Borscht (He's always adding paprika to things! *sigh*) Its not a spice... its a drug! Anyway... 1st Commissar Kolgyev wants his medals polished, enjoy whats left of your day Stefan Makomov - 3rd Commissar of the Red Nerve

Gas is cheaper than Oil I think. I lived in a house with old Oil fired heaters in it and they cost a fortune to keep running. The Czech Republic has nothing gain out of this endevour apart from maybe a little money... but what more important, money or keeping the Russian's happy? I guess you'd need to be Czech to answer that question correctly... lol.

Watch my feet? I guess I won't be wearing Platforms tomorrow, eh...

Im sure we'd all be interested to see your vision of the UK Micah US- Stars and stripes, George Bush, Oil, Rich people, Huge cars, Huge Houses, Huge people (lol) and New York... sometimes I think about Harley's but thats when i'm in the mood... I live in the UK, but when I think about it the first image I get is Fish and Chips served on a Union Jack... it would be different if you asked me 'What do you see when I say 'England/Scotland/Wales/Ireland'...
