Had a couple of very early videos talking about Cities: Skylines.. So now I'm doing a followup with a review. Check it out, let me know what you think. Thanks! https://youtu.be/N8XoJ3MDKCo

I appreciate the comments. You are correct there is a map editor... but there is no terraforming. If editing a map is considered terraforming, then: AoE AoE2 AoE3 Red Alert Red Alert 2 and just about every other RTS you've ever played.. has terraforming, (which they don't) Map editors are just that.

haha that'd be nice, but I doubt it. I'm not going to judge the game until I've played it, but like I said, the lack of terraforming of any kind is a big big deal. BUT that being said, maybe we can get the mod community behind this and get some terraforming put in. We'll have to see how it turns out. Thanks for the comments!

So I've been working on my youtube channel, and city builders/gaming is a passion of mine. So I put this together for Cities Skylines. Probably nothing new if you've been following it really closely. But check it out, let me know what you think. Thanks!

I'm not a "apple fanboy" or a "android fanboy" etc.. I've had a blackberry, I've had a couple androids.. I would like to get a windows phone... But honestly, while apple makes solid tech, I didn't see anything with the 6 or 6plus that impressed me, even in the slightest. (just my opinion)

Couple of mine. All from scratch, and I use CS6 for my drawing.

So I'm just messing around with youtube, because I like recording stuff and its fun. I made a lill video about Cities: skyline. ...lemme know what you think. Always looking for feedback.

We are currently doing that and it is not doing our economy any favors. Just cutting back billions after billions on top of more billions is destroying our economy just as much as not doing anything. It is destroying the social safety net, it is further eroding the public's trust in both the government and the economy, which only results in declining consumer trust, it is destroying more jobs than it creates. And does it make things more efficient? No, it does not, things are just cut out or outsourced to private companies who do the same work for double the price (which the government ends up paying). Meanwhile we also made education more expensive, when the benefits on education are huge. Every euro spend on educating people will pay itself back when you have a well educated workforce who can do good jobs that pay more. Are you really trying to make the argument that living within your means is a bad thing? ..because I can tell you right now you are blowing into the wind if you want to go that direction. REDACTED are the problem that the EU is in the trouble it is. Folks, everyone is welcome to have his/her opinion, even if that opinion is in direct opposition to someone else's opinion. At the same time, it is absolutely vital that one express his/her opinions in a polite and respectful manner. Civil discourse is impossible if we cannot be respectful. It has been said before many times that we should be discussing the issue(s) and not the members. Everyone needs to be careful with how he/she uses the word "you." "You" can be a means to direct a question at someone, or it can be the digital equivalent of finger pointing (which is a fast way to send a thread into a full blown flame war). Staff genuinely tries to make sure that the Current Events forum is a polite, respectful, and welcoming place for people to discuss the news of the day. This is one of those moments where we step in to stop a possible flare up before it gets started. Please understand what while this is the post that got edited, I am not calling anyone out here. I am simply taking this as the opportunity to post another reminder of the importance of understanding the tone that a post can carry, and the impact that one's tone can have on the ability to have a civil, and hopefully constructive, conversation. hym

Ah, here in the U.S. "right wing" would normally refer to the more Conservative end of the political spectrum.

Wasn't aware that "staying within your means" and "conservative fiscal planning" is "crap".... but to each his own. I know here in the U.S. the most well off states and cities are run by republicans. But by the same token George Bush didn't do a thing to stop us from going down this horrible path, and he claimed to be a conservative..

What else are we in the dark about, that maybe I'm personally unaware of? Probably more than I should be. Watching and reading the news these days is so depressing. I would say a good percentage of Americans don't have a clue whats really going on in the world, I mean we are now 16+ trillion in debt, been above 8% unemployment for almost 5 years now (And the real number is more like 12-14%), N Korea is pretty much saying as soon as they are ready they want to nuke someone... and somehow Obama and congress got reelected?! if everyone was paying attention, how did that happen? Anyways, I didn't really want to derail my own topic, but I just see whats going on in the world and shake my head.

And if I understand you correctly, you believe that once someone got away with stealing money by parking it on some offshore account, the rest of the world must refund that person when his offshore banks collapses? And Cyprus is small. About a million people living there in total. The total GDP of Cyprus is like 1% of the total Eurozone GDP, so again, it is an insignificant little place. They build their economy by providing services much like how they did it on Iceland, and then when the bubble burst, the rest of us can come in and bail them out because they screwed up big time. But hey, if we want to hold them accountable to some extend for the mess they made themselves, we are the bad guys, because how dare we steal all that money! If we had not done anything, all their banks would have collapsed, and everyone with more than a 100.000 on the banks would have lost their money just as well. But is this bad for the economy on Cyprus? Yes, it will take a massive blow. Sadly, when you build your economy based on bubbles and the bubbles burst the economy will collapse, no matter the bailouts you send their way. One can only hope that the people on Cyprus take this as an opportunity to rebuild their economy from the ground up, and this base it on more stable and sustainable sectors. Well first off, I haven't seen any proof that these Russian investors are criminals.. only your word. But we'll make the assumption you know what you are talking about. But still even if 90% of the bank accounts are Russian, and 90% of those are criminals (which seems really high) it still means that they are taking money from 10-15% of a honest population. End of story. And by all means if Cyprus got into this trouble they should be the ones to get out of it (one reason why I think the euro is a horrible idea). But just TAKING money from private people? and businesses? But with the EU the financial shape they are in, and the leaders they are electing.. I mean Neo-Nazi's taking power in France? why do I feel like this is the 1920's again?

>snip< Thanks for the links, I hadn't seen anything about it on their main news channels. I didn't go and search their websites.. And I live here in the U.S. also, so I do know what "we" are in the dark about. Anyways glad to see someone is paying attention!

>snip< First of all, no, the EU or the IMF is not considering this for Spain and Italy. The guy who said it made some very stupid comment and he immediately got called back for it by pretty much everyone in the EU. Of course, his comments have set off some speculation by others who now think the EU is out to get everyones money, which is just utter nonsense. And whether the Russians let it go unanswered or not is irrelevant. These Russians that lost money were generally criminals, who got their money in unlawful ways or who avoided Russian taxes. If they want something from the Russian government, they will have to admit first that they were dodging taxes in Russia, or admitting some other crime. Second, we get gas from Russia, not oil. We pay a whole lot of money for that gas, more than any one else is willing to pay. The Russians can close the valve, and hurt eastern Europe with it, but they would not stand to benefit from it. Of course, the Russians do not like this, but I don't think they will do anything drastic. Well first off, if I understand you correctly. You think its ok to steal money from people as long as the majority of those people are criminals? And second, I honestly don't know how large Cyprus is, what the population is etc... but any legitimate business with 30+ employee's would have 120,000+ in the bank... Just to make payroll, this isn't just from private citizens its ALL bank accounts over 100,000.

If the criminals are staying home, and not committing crime... what makes them criminals?!?!?!? Or is it the super realistic glassbox?
