Polygon: Maxis found over and over that making the Game less Complex made it more fun.
Mellophonius commented on Hellken's article in News
That's what we all said after SimCity Societies, isn't it? -
It looks like they went out of their way to *avoid* saying the words "droid" and "R2-D2."

The United Cities*4th Birthday and Retirement!*
Mellophonius replied to nathanthemayor's topic in SC4 City Journals
The reason is that LJS, Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell are all owned by the same parent company. I'm sure there's instances of all possible combinations somewhere in the US, lol. I've seen KFC/Taco Bell, Pizza Hut/Taco Bell, Long John Silver's/Taco Bell, and others. -
Osama Bin Laden killed by US special Forces
Mellophonius replied to blade2k5's topic in Current Events
His body is in US custody, DNA evidence has proven the identity. I hope conspiracy theories can (mostly) be put to rest. Think about it. If he's not actually dead, wouldn't bin Laden still be around to release a video of himself, to disprove this? Would the government really claim he's dead if he was really out there able to do that? Of course not. Also, he was killed by US troops during an operation at a mansion outside Islamabad, Pakistan. No drones or bombs were involved, and no Americans were harmed. It was a headshot that killed him. The CIA worked with Pakistani intelligence on this operation, and the US has been following this lead since last August, but the operation did actually occur until May 1. The President authorized the operation in the past week, and it was carried out today (well, yesterday). I was in 5th grade when 9/11 happened. Now I feel like a child waking up from a 10-year-long dream. -
Real Highway (RHW) - Development and Support
Mellophonius replied to qurlix's topic in NAM & Transit Networks
Forgive me if this has been answered before, but is there currently a SPUI available for the RHW?- 3,919 Replies

I don't think a one-child-only policy would be the best option. I would rather see an effective campaign to educate the masses on the implications of having litters of children, and couple that with a birth control distribution program. People don't like being told they can only have one child legally, so instead, cause them to make the decision to have 1 or 2, as opposed to 5 or 6, themselves. Also, the world population growth rate is supposed to level off by 2100. http://www.overpopulation.net/slowing.htm That many people will still be a strain on the planet, but in that respect, I'm most in favor of developing new methods to live sustainably. Of course, all of this has go very far to have any effect. We can't just do a little here and there.

The SimCity 5 Thread (Formerly "Is SimCity 5 Ever Coming Out?").
Mellophonius replied to xterra09's topic in City-Building Games
Someone needs to tell Will Wright to stop his weird TV idea and come back to the fans that made him popular in the first place. It doesn't matter if it's a Maxis game or not, what matters if it's designed by Wright - even if he wouldn't legally be able to call it SimCity 5. I hate that EA has killed Maxis, but I hate even more that Will Wright seems to have forgotten about us. -

When freeways end like that, it usually means the end is only temporary...

How to take pictures. From U-Drive it.
Mellophonius replied to citiesxlfan42's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Does Ctrl+Shift+c not work in UDI? -
Once you declined the reward, you prevented yourself from ever getting it again. Whenever you are prompted to accept a reward, accept it - you don't have to place it immediately. It only makes the reward available in the rewards menu, to place whenever you want.

To my great disappointment, my local Wal-Mart never got any copies of Cities XL and probably never will. Getting the game is not important enough to drive 30 miles to get (because of the gas) or to order online (because of the shipping), but if I could find it locally I would probably end up getting it. My home town has about 20,000 people and even though we're a college town, we have no Best Buy or Target or anything like that. The only store in our entire town that would likely carry Cities XL is Wal-Mart, and mine doesn't. has anyone else gotten Cities XL from Wal-Mart? I'd like to know if it's just my store, or the entire chain.

If the NAM was installed correctly the turn lanes would automatically show up.

aw you spoiled my fun lol
-
Sorry it's been so long, I never got any email updates about these replies... anyway, I'm afraid it isn't Tifton. This town is in southern georgia, though. But I'll give you another major clue by re-uploading the picture with another detail added. As you can now see, North is not upwards in this photo. I figured that might throw some people off, and I don't think there is a rule against it lol.
-
Yes, it is in Georgia. But I won't give any more specific hints.
-
Nope, not South Carolina.
-
Des Plaines, Illinois. Your hint made it a little too obvious lol, all one had to do wasmake a quick Wikipedia search on 'city of destiny' lol. Anyway here's mine: Hint: It's in the southeastern part of the US.

Well I certinly couldn't post a picture, and I know how to - I've already posted several in this thread. When i tried again recently to revive the thread, there was a problem posting my picture. If others were having problems, maybe it really was why the thread was dead.
-
Is this thread dead because people are having problems uplaoding images? Because I sure am.
-
MessiahAndrw, that sounds pretty awesome, especially the Dept. of Transportation. i've always been really into transit and all, and I've been frustrated at SC4's lack of a good transit system, even with RH. The NAM has done a great job adding newer and better options, but it's still the same old game.

Food world giant Oscar Meyer Dies at 95
Mellophonius replied to Sticksboi05's topic in Current Events
Funny how the news article points out that it isn't spelled Meyer, yet spells it that way in the first line... -

The Official Petition for a SimCity 5
Mellophonius replied to eternal_sky's topic in City-Building Games
If EA makes SimCity 5, it will be a pile of trash just like SCS. We need to petition Will Wright. Even if he takes SimCity 5 to a different gaming company, it would still be his creation, and I would trust him to assemble a great team of developers to help him. -
what building are you using for the imperial high courts?
