You're probably all of it. You know what they say: "beggars can't be chosers"

I'ld probably go with a 14 year old girl with a surpressed preference for animals

That's hott!

..........all of a sudden, I no longer feel safe at this forum...........

Hmmmm... now that's a nice idea

Admit it Mr Creosote, you are a very sick person...

I'm just open-minded enough to try everything out - once a philosopher, twice a pervert

Funny, that's the second time you're saying that!

So what? It doesn't apply to itself

So what does it apply to then? Only everything else?

Only to all kinds of 'perverted' sexuality

Aha, okay, I thought it was also used in a more 'general' way to say that you shouldn't do things that have been done already, or something. Never mind.

Besides, who's to say what's perverted anyway?

That is the eternal question...

True. Some people think that anybody who has sex is perverted, which is entirely stupid. Anybody who is living (and therefore was created out of sex, be it artificial insemination [the sperm still meets the egg] or whatever) should not have that belief.

If you scroll up, you'll be able to read that I am considering in a short future to buy and try Sim City 4. When one of my friends told me that he got the hand on a copy of Sim City 3000 and that he prefered to play Sim City 2000 instead, I thought I had to give it a try so I can make my mind on either I would take the chance to waste my money again... I'm not really happy with my last experience as you could tell.

The result is very good. I am a fan of Sim City and played the first 2 games before trying this one. The improvements are more than adequate; they rock. One would think that such a basic game would only suffer in originality as sequels rolls on, but the truth is really far from that.
I love the improvements they made to the game, as well as the new features and events that pop up from time to time. The concellors are pretty well made and helps a beginniner Mayor (or an ever unsuccesfull one like me) an awesome deal.

The graphics are also incredibly well done in comparison to Sim City 2000. Of course, you have the basic layout and the basic sprites of the buildings like in the precedent games, but some nice touches been added for more realism and help to shape the city. The best example I could give is the road traffic. Not only it's real time, but it really allows you to understand with a good precision what part of the road system is crowded and need ameliorations. A real improvement on the old graphics which would only make you understand that so and so road have "light", "medium" or "heavy" traffics. Looking at the busses or the trash trucks running around on the system as you add structures for them is a pretty sight. The same example goes for the walkers on the streets.

Bottom line:
Fans should upgrade this one over Sim City 2000 anytime. No mistake.

I bought Sim City 4 on Thursday evening. Todays the first chance ive had to get a good few hours playing it undisturbed.

I found getting started more difficult than previous versions, it seems harder to make money, harder to build a population quickly. Getting used to the regions is hard work at first as well but theres lots of potential in the game.

If you like the previous efforts i'd recommend it.

Anyway, I finally got MoO3 last week. Amazon.com offered it for $20 with a $20 mail-in rebate, and I would be stupid to miss that opportunity. Didn't install it yet (I'll be waiting for the patch), but I found it ironic that the box contained an advertisment for Galactic Civilizations.

What does that mean?

That means that you pay $20, but then you send a copy of your bill, a copy of the UPC code and a filled out application to the merchant, who will send you $20 back. So essentially it's free.

What the merchant gets out of that he holds your money for some time (earns interest) and gets your mailing address for marketing purposes. It is quite a common practice in the US; I would say that 50% of savings are handled this way.

Why don't they just offer money for your personal information directly?
