  5. SimCity (2013): Amusement Park DLC, Release Date: May 28, 2013

    Just by looking at the main page, you can see that they have pritty much sold them self out.
  6. Will Wright interested in games that intersect with players' lives

    He is still inloved with EA because EA have shares in his company. It isnt Will Wright fault it is EA. Im sorry, but its not just EA fault.
  7. The metric system and its lack of adoption in the US

    You can easily find similar relations in metric too, though - a centimetre is roughly the width of my pinkie finger, 2 centimetres is about as wide as my thumb (certainly closer to that than an inch). A yard is roughly as long as a metre (nine-tenths as long), so that still holds. A metre is also about as long as a decent stride or the length of my leg. I won't argue against imperial sounding better poetically (because I admit it does). Although, "you can see for ages" is also perfectly valid. The inchworm is called such because it inches along, not because it is an inch long (although the first inch is derived from the second inch). If metric was the only system that ever existed, then it would be more likely called a creepworm (or loaper caterpillar or surveyor, two other names it has gone by) than a centiworm. With regards to mileage, probably fuel efficiency? Interesting aside: we (by which I mean Australia, a lot of Europe, and New Zealand) don't measure it in kilometres per litre, we measure it in litres per 100 kilometres. Quick question. Over the same distance, which change saves you more fuel: raising the MPG from 15 to 20 or from 30 to 45? Now the same question, but in L/100km: from 15.7 to 11.8 or from 7.8 to 5.2? I don't have a problem with buying 250 grams of ham, half a kilo of bananas, or 2 litres of milk. It sounds perfectly natural to me. For kilometres we tend to use "k's" in Australia. For example, it's about 1000 k's from Brisbane to Sydney along the M1 (at least it was, until they straightened it out. Now it's in the 900's somewhere). If you're used to the units and what people usually call them they're easy to write in. Sure, but you can do the same with 5-degree Celsius increments, which are 9 Fahrenheit apart. 0 is freezing cold. 5 is cold. 10 is a bit cold. 15 is OK, still a bit cool. 20 is OK. 25 is getting a little warm. 30 is warm. 35 is hot. 40 is too hot. If i understood right you are from Australia? Being nothern european for me its like this 0-Cold(point where water turns into ice) 5-a bit cold 10-fine 15-warm 20-warm 25-really warm 30 and up hot
