Dear EA, You had me since Childhood. Learning about Cities thanks to Will and company. But back then Will needed a publisher, so he allowed EA to publish Maxis games. It seemed then the dark days started. First Will left, then you took his creation in directions his fans did not like. You told us "This is for the good of the product! You're just a niche, and we need sales! This will be for everyone!" Yet, what you made... Was for no one. Those you disenfranchised tried on their own. We got Cities XL, it wasn't perfect but it wasn't you, it was new and fresh, like a new girlfriend. Only it didn't work out. You laughed in our face, "How foolish of you to spend your money on that!" You gave us the ultimate slap in the face. Sim City Societies to remind us that you owned us, and there was no leaving you. Then a group of people began to design a game called Cities: Skylines, a simulator, the very thing you said would never sell. That thing has now sold over 1 million copies. The people have spoken. You were wrong EA. You were wrong. This could be you, but instead you quietly sell your assets, leaving Maxis like a spent Cigarette on the sidewalk. Thanks for all the fish. -Shaunathan

I was going to tell you all about banished, but now that I came up for air you guys already know about it. Awesome! (goes back to playing banished waiting for mods.)

This latest episode has a strange glitch, hit the link above and check the comments for the time stamp of the glitch.

A few new episodes up. Also I made a play list so this thread doesn't become super huge.

Part 3 is up. Part 4 should be up by Friday.

New episode up at the top!

Thanks! Yeah I got a new mic so the next installment should be easier to understand.

This is one of Drunkapple's fantastic regions, here's the link:

Welcome to the birth of a Continent! In the center of Wellington lies Industria, the only, and soon to be Dirtiest, city in Wellington! Current Episode! For the Rest of the episodes, here's a link to the playlist: http://www.youtube.c...iy3dKOxIH4bX4Sw

I have to admit, I'm a little disheartened by this review. Honestly I was hoping Cities XL was going to light a fire under maxis but when that when fizzle I guess they decided they didn't have to pander to the sim/hobbist crowd. honestly what we really need is some competition. If there really is 20-50 million people who want a more "hardcore" version of a city building simulator perhaps some competition could make some money.

So the game is in English? That's gonna be much easier then Wonder if Editing posts will give me a keyword.

ok I feel better.... I didn't see ANY of these

So now that the contest is over can someone put up a screen shot of what exactly a bloody codeword looked like? I never got one but I'm gonna go clinically insane if I don't know what the heck I was looking for!!

ah like how some cities flip one way lanes during rush hour... that would be nice...

He mentions that train stations will work the same way. But yeah, not much there.
