I've always been a fan of Jim Carrey, so I'm still excited to see it. Villain's name and costume made me laugh. Hit Girl isn't quite the new Hermione, but probably the closest thing right now.

Me -VVV-

Oh sweet Jesus. I finally slogged through the rest of the third book. I should have read some of the spoilers here telling that there was a cliffhanger at the end. If I had known there was going to be a fourth book (I honestly thought it was supposed to be a trilogy) I would have stopped at...

Holy shit, I don't even need to read it, I'll support it sight unseen. I love Kristen Bell and Enrico Colantoni and enjoyed the show quite a bit when it wasn't too wrapped up in stupid romance shit. When she was punking motherfuckers for messing with her, that's what I really enjoyed.

What's funny is that I'm fairly certain (could be wrong of course) that Drinsic never even bought the game, so he obviously wouldn't have had to return it. He's just defending the people like me that did. I honestly don't care what someone thinks of me for returning it. I haven't returned a...

Yes I did. I went to my Digital Library on Amazon, and next to SimCity I clicked on "View Order Details." It showed my Digital Order, and I clicked "Problem with this Order?" I chose to have them call me immediately. When they called, the guy asked how he could help me, and I said I was...

Fuck it, after reading that stuff, and realizing that it could be months (or never) before they even begin to address any of the actual gameplay concerns, and realizing that I only enjoy it for the first 15 minutes or so when plotting out my roads, I went ahead and got a refund from Amazon. Not...

I'm not going to ask for a refund from Amazon simply because I figure it is a lesson learned, and I'll end up playing it here and there over the coming months I'm sure, and if a few patches or tweaks make it more entertaining I might even really enjoy it. But yeah, if it weren't called SimCity...

Yeah, this is one of the things that is really killing it for me. The truck leaves one building heading the wrong direction, and decides to take who knows what fucking journey through town before ending up right next door. Traffic is ONE of the main root causes of almost every other terrible...

To be honest I'm not very inspired by this, but I'm a huge fan of the old Ultima games (I actually owned 1-10, didn't finish the last couple though), so I gave him a chance with $30. The way I look at it is that I will probably get more enjoyment out of it than the $40 I mistakenly gave to EA...

They were all carrying weapons openly. They just went Babe Ruth style on the zombies to keep the noise down.

Apparently I'm just horrible at this game, as my population suddenly plummeted for no reason that I can see, and all of my money-earning buildings stopped producing because they needed workers. So I had to disable all of my public works, which means everything fucking burns down or gets...

That's exactly what I do. It drives me nuts to know that I more than likely screwed something up at the beginning but won't realize it until much, much later. That gives me a little bit to look forward to, so perhaps I'll fuck around with getting my system down a little better on solo maps so I...

Actually, if you buy from him directly now, he said he'll give you a Steam key if it ever ends up for sale there. At least, he said that last year, I'm assuming his position is still the same.

This is kind of how I'm feeling. It seems like if I don't make everything perfect at first, I end up fucking myself later on. Sandbox is ok for experimenting, but I quickly lose interest because nothing matters there. Not having a save, and knowing that if you abandon your city you might...

I haven't played in months, but I had a similar issue. I figured it out eventually, and I'm trying to remember what the problem was. Are those red squares where you are trying to place walls, and it is saying it can't? Also, is your gnome stuck there? If that is the case, see if you can't...

Every single person I work with when they say, "supposably." And plain text emails.

McKayla Maroney is not impressed by your lack of recognition. Repost I'm sure, but appropriate. EDIT: Fucking Ninja Sutekh.

Only the stuff you actually buy from Amazon has any sort of DRM. You can add any book you want to it via programs like Calibre or even just drag and drop if it is already in the right format. But if you're talking about exporting stuff bought from Amazon off of the Kindle, well yeah that takes...

It only matters if you are the hero doing the joining anyway. Since you're in my coalition, you would be brought along when I joined one even if you had zero soul points.

Have not started yet, trying valiantly to finish The Daylight War so I never have to touch it again.

Soul Score.

Would be awesome to get 30 or more in tonight, on a new season no less. My coalition is ready to go, and I can be there right about the time you said. Depending upon traffic I could be a few minutes late, but it shouldn't be more than 5 or 10, so wait for me!

Wrong person won, I feel. Genevieve showed skill in almost everything she did, or studied/practiced enough to beat the people she had to face. Celeste's "journey of growth" might have actually happened, but she only made a point of mentioning it to anyone (including the viewers) when it was...

Tried to get into my existing city for hours last night, was unsuccessful. It is entirely possible that I'm remembering things being better than they actually were, but I seem to think that I was able to play Diablo III more than 3 hours the first week. And I thought that was the ultimate in...

E-reader (Kindle keyboard) because I prefer the non-backlit display. I understand the new PaperWhite Kindles are lit without really being backlit and are pretty awesome, but I'll keep using the one I have until it dies. It is perfect and I don't need anything else on it. I have a separate 10"...

People arguing politics or religion on the internet. Also, the stupid (and yes, black) cunt that lives below me.

Same here, that's the only reason I bought it before it was 75% off.

I have no use for BitCoins, and with no logs being kept I don't know that it matters if someone tracks my credit card to a VPN, but I went with Private Internet Access, which also accepts BitCoins if that matters to you. They have been fantastically stable, easy yet flexible, basically...

Speaking of, I need Ao to make himself available in the coalition again. I had everyone go unavailable while I joined random towns, so it isn't his fault. Just need him to see this and change it. EDIT: My coalition is all available and ready to go now.

Thanks for sharing that Obtenor. Yet another reason why I'm glad to live in America no matter how much everyone tells me I should despise it. Unfortunately, this is the internet, and thus other people know more than you do, no matter what the subject is, and will refuse to back down or change...

Imagine what it will be like when the next The Sims game is online only and housewives have to be told why they can't play because the server is down/busy.

Wow. I know nothing about Obtenor, or you, or Chavez really for that matter. But to just jump to that conclusion when you know nothing else about the situation is pretty fucking douchey. Consider my jimmies rustled. Am I to assume then that you have actually lived under Chavez's rule to be...

Yep, as long as you have over 100 soul points to get into distant towns, which I know you do because of how long you've been one of the few consistent names out scavenging every day in our towns.

There is a Peter V Brett thread a couple down already, but since you brought it up and I have avoided that one for spoilers, I am having the hardest fucking time finishing book 3. I'm 70% in and it seems like finally the exciting shit is going to start, but holy fuck did I not care about most...

Oh I know, I was just commenting on how I was just in a halfway decent random town for a change. Usually they barely last 3 days. I approve of you guys fucking with other towns all you want, doesn't rustle my jimmies

Thanks for those tips Budos, obviously I had no idea what I was doing. I've got oil, so I'm assuming I would be better served converting that to whatever the more valuable version is (not sure without being in game) before selling it. I'll see if I can't do a little research while at work...

Not that I'm aware of, but just do what I used to do. Go into uTorrent and change the default download location to (for example) F:\Torrents instead of E:\Torrents. That way anything new will end up on the new drive, but all the old stuff will still be seeding/stored on the old drive. Sure...

Ah, see I think that is part of my problem. Trading depot? I had no idea those even existed or how to build them. I'm sure that if I demolished some buildings and drilled out all my oil, and could actually sell the excess, I'd probably have a shitload of money. Thanks for the tip, now I just...

After my initial 2 hours, I played for another 30-45 mins last night, during which the servers reported they were down and never came up. I tried to play longer hoping they would come back up, but eventually I had to quit. I'm assuming that means they didn't sync at the end, so whatever my...
