Yeah. Don't know why, that was the plot I actually wanted.
I was going to make a high tech city when I've finised my current one. This one is like a commercial, touristy seaside city. Seemed to make sense since all the wind patterns take smoke away from it and since there's going to be a massive arcology across the way, they'll need somewhere to go on holidays. Assuming that's how it works.

I'm in the process of converting my oil city into a high-tech city. Turns out making processors is a lot more profitable than oil.

I have literally only heard Justin Bieber once and that was because a girl asked me to after I said I had never heard a single song of his.

I really don't get why you would hate someone because they make bad music. You can easily avoid listening to it.

I claimed some land but now I can't connect to it.
In now. I'm sending all of my sewage to one of your towns. Enjoy.

Is the 4th city plot in our sub-region unclaimable for you too?

Need a city with high-tech industry to finish the arcology.

I'm not entirely sure we'd sell him, but he is an Arsenal fan so if there's an English club he'd leave us for, it's probably you lot.

Do Oldham still have that 25% sell-on clause on him?

Disliking people because they make money is stupid and reeks of jealousy. Disliking people because of how they make a lot of money on the other hand is perfectly reasonable.

Been playing this today.

It's pretty decent.

Want to join in on the Susie region?

I'll toss you an ad. Verrrona.

Invited you to the region now. Didn't have you in the friends list in-game yesterday for some reason.

You people who bought the game are getting a free EA game apparently.

Alright. Shame I've got about 0 interest in any of the games EA have to offer, considering the NHL games are console-only these days.

What is it that people liked so much about Argo?

I liked seeing all the Canadians get butthurt and complain about how it downplays their role.

I also really liked the opening montage, hardly ever see a film based upon historical events actually provide the background, especially in a way that paints the US in a negative light.

On the whole though it's really only an okay thriller, Alan Arkin's character being the best part of the film. Definitely not the best film of 2012.

How've you found it so far?

The game itself is great. The small tiles were a bit of a bummer at first but once you adjust to it mentally and stop thinking like you're playing SimCity 4 it doesn't really matter as much.

Basically all the things that were handled poorly in Sim4 has been fixed, roads are much more flexible, essential services like schools, hospitals, police etc. are done in a much better way, being able to upgrade buildings is a huge gameplay improvement and the regional play should be interesting.

Now, those fucking servers on the other hand.....

I'm sure that I'll get nothing but the sound of crickets with this, but I've started a Sortitoutsi region on the Western Europe 2 server.

Add me and send me a message (my OID is FranckSweden) and I'll invite any of you who are interested.

What if there is a big server crash like Blackberry had and its down for days/weeks?

You mean like what is happening right now?

Anyway, it becomes pretty evident why the game is always-online when you actually play it, not that anyone can do that right now.

Considering it's Origin-only, you're not really going to buy it unless you already have an internet connection.

Anyway, I've gotten a few more hours of playing time between all the server fuck-ups. The game is awesome, a real shame the experience is being fucked up by EA and their shitty servers.

Having played the game, I can totally see why they've gone for an always-online approach, I wouldn't really have any complaints about it had their fucking servers been working properly.

Yes it is. Look at the opinions and ords uttered by heads of UEFA and FIFA while looking at the flat out atrocious refereeing against British teams.

The game is pretty good judging by the 2 hours of play time I've gotten tonight, EA's servers are fucking garbage though.

I'd recommend anyone who hasn't pre-ordered to wait a week or two before buying so the server load will go down a bit.

Your not biased though I've still no idea how you can somehow decide he's got some vendetta against German clubs based on a couple of incidents from his international career. It's such a random opinion.

It's not any more random than the idiotic Englishmen who think Platini has an anti-English agenda.

Apparently Kevin Bacon is married to his cousin as well as been related to Brad Bitt, Barrack Obama and Richard the first. Independent

"9th cousin once removed." May as well not be related at all if that is how "close" they are.

Green Street is one of the worst films I've ever seen.

As I've said on here before, it's not half bad if you go into it knowing that it depicts football hooliganism about as realistically as porn films depict plumbing.

Was on some TV show I was watching, immediately felt compelled to look it up on Youtube.

Musically oblivious as I am, that is pretty much my only means of finding new music.
