Well I'm excited. Also, how did I get here?

I had to come out of hibernation to say that the lack of mass transit in the offline mode is a kick to the face. A major city cannot live on roads alone.

Will Wright speaks yet again, this time to Gamespot. Interesting little interview. Fun fact... he knows way too much about Care Bears.

The Dems need to have a solid 60/39/1 split to be in full control. Let's make that happen, then Obama can do much more. Barbarossaquote> Sorry, but no party should have total control of the government for any reason. The country works best when there's some give-and-take between the parties. If Obama gets to do whatever he wants, things could be much worse than they are now. If it were the other way around (total Republican control), it might make the conservative part of me happy, but you know that with power comes greed and we saw a bit of that during the Bush years.

Like them or not, debates are necessary... many undecided voters watch them in order to help them make a decision. Sure, some debates are worse than others, but they're important to the process.

Biden, eh? I don't think it's going to help Obama's street cred, but that's just me.

Life is good, short, a highway, and worth living. That's all you need to know.

Man they love their military coups in Mauritania, huh? It's a shame much of Africa is run by brutal regimes and militant groups just looking for power.

Great news. Hopefully the price of gorilla meat will drop considerably.

Masochist, you're allowed only two topics with a Yakov Smirnoff reference, you know.

Another hit for freedom of expression... but it's Russia so it's not a surprise. I would like to see a world without emos, but I'd rather see the fad die than a forced ban.

Seriously, I have little or no knowledge of this subject so I can't comment much on it, but I don't see time travel, as we refer to it, possible. However, we are always traveling in time... but only at one speed.

It's not the size of the planet that matters, it's the motion of its oceans. But yes, Earth is small even compared to other planets in our solar system... except for Pluto, but we don't talk about him anymore.

I'll go in alphabetical order. A. I kind of like the direction SCC is taking even if it's a bit underwhelming graphically. It's definitely not a true SimCity game, but it could be a nice, little distraction before they announce a proper sequel. B. The SC Box is just a way to get skeptics to buy SCS for a relatively cheap price, but I don't see the point in the combo pack. SC4 was one of the best-selling PC games of 2007... 4 years after its initial release! And SCS did sell alright, not great, but not horribly. C. Yeah, perhaps EA definitely hurt the SimCity franchise with Societies and I don't see Creator doing much to help, and having Spore being delayed and perfected didn't help SimCity at all. Spore is probably 99% complete now so Maxis and Will Wright should have to start brainstorming about a future SimCity. Not that the Spore delays were bad or anything... because Spore will be amazing and we can't have Maxis release an unfinished game.
