Update Three | Rural Callamesia
YorkshireLlama commented on chpbrownlee's City Journal Entry in Commonwealth of Callamesia | USNW
Looks amazing. Love the massive mosaic! Only problem being that 1976 is in the 20th century, not 21st, but otherwise great entry. -
I enjoyed Tropico 3, but I hated the $%&^! road system, which either went off in sporadic directions, or wouldn't build on a slope with an incline of 1:100. I hope in Tropico 4 they've fixed it.

Who are your International Neighbors?
YorkshireLlama replied to A Nonny Moose's topic in General Off-Topic
If you include the different countries within the UK, as well as independent countries, being from North Eastern England, in order of closeness, here are my neighbours: 1- Scotland 2- Wales 3-Northern Ireland 4- Republic of Ireland 5- France (Channel tunnel is a nominal border) -
I consider myself lucky, on the advertising front, coming from the UK, which has (on average) 7 minutes of advertising per hour. This compared to France's 9 minutes, Germany's 12 minutes, and New Zealand's 15 minutes, and the fact that we have the BBC, which, as well as screening good-quality programmes (well, at least most of the time.), has no adverts. So even living in my comparatively almost advert-less world, i'm still infuriated when i watch ITV (which isn't very often, admittedly. lol), and see the ratio of show to advertising, so i feel really sorry for those of you who don't live in the UK.

Sakura City (Part 1)
YorkshireLlama commented on p_kitaro's City Journal Entry in The Kingdom of Aoyama
wow! you really seem to have put a lot of effort, and research into this region. You've done a good job creating a "Far Eastern" atmosphere in Sakura. -
Wow! I'm genuinely impressed, it looks amazing! By the way, where did you get the BAT for those semi-detatched houses? looked all over the STEX, but with no luck, and would love to include them in one of my UK Middle-Class suburbs

East Prattsville
YorkshireLlama commented on Detective Stan's City Journal Entry in Prattsville, Mount Quoio
Real good CJ! love the "small town" American atmosphere of it all. Just a thing to note, i come from Britain, and here, the word "Pratt" is a mildly insulting term, meaning "idiot", or "fool". so i always chuckle when i see "Prattsville, Mount Quoio" at the top of your CJ! lol -
It looks very good, but looks more like a hybrid of many other British, and European cities, than Bristol. But who am i to talk? i've never been to Bristol; hell, i've barely been out of North Yorkshire!

Great city! i really liked the "middle class suburbs," thought they looked very much like a British suburb (especially with the cricket pitch!) However, i thought the last 2 pictures (while very good) looked a little bit too "European". But, on the other hand, i'm just from a village in North Yorkshire, so i'm not the best person to talk to about city centres! Also, it'd be cool to included a council estate, or something like that, in your city, it would make it even more realistic than it already is.

Al Adjidaai Strip
YorkshireLlama commented on _marsh_'s City Journal Entry in Royal Gansbaai Kingdoms [v.2]
Love images 7, 8, and 9, with all the construction going on, and the finished road-system, without "filler" (like parks and stuff). Looks a really good, realistic, developing city. -
City Journals is about documenting, showing, and further explaining, your cities made in SC4/ Cities XL; Not just putting images from real-life, and explaining the imaginary city. Sometimes, yes, images from external sources (i.e. from outside SC4/ Cities XL), and various statistics, help explain the city you're documenting, but the majority of your images should be made up of screen shots from in-game

To be honest, i'm kind of glad the other countries have taken Eurovision less seriously (i mean, hell, here in the UK, i don't think we EVER took it seriously!). I thought last night was hilarious, the Family, and i just watched Eurovision, making remarks, and choking ourselves laughing! I wasn't really bothered who would win, to me, at least Eurovision is just about sitting in your living room, with your family, and having a laugh. The music is godawful though, but, at least it's so bad, it's funny! Still, i miss Terry Wogan on Eurovision, thought he was hilarious, when he'd had a bit too-much whiskey
