It's going to be interesting if the faction that was made out to be villians in the first books ends up being the heroes in the last books.

Hopefully this stops people from unjustly blaming EA for this shitshow. This is all on Maxis' shoulders.

There's definitely high value targets in NK that could be bombed. I'm sure that anyone of importance in the NK govt has some kind of fucked up vault buried into the ground though.

What will really be interesting is if the game is open enough to modding to alleviate some of the serious issues with it via modding. All of a sudden you're looking at a game that is significantly better offline than online.

I think a lot of it is a language barrier. To a native english speaker it's obvious that Nick has serious issues that dampen the impact of whatever he says. GSP probably literally can not understand what Nick is saying. The only real legitimate complaint I see him bring against GSP that GSP...

I don't think you can say they are trying to remedy it until they announce an offline mode patch.

I'd argue that Sean is being perfectly civil unlike those arguing with him, but Sean failed to come hang out with us in IRC and play simcity so feel free to insult him and then say he's being uncivil.

I don't really have a problem with that because I can't count many single player games that are 9s on the surface and 6s underneath. The real problem is the inability or unwillingness for review centers to change their score after release. More and more games are becoming evolving constructs and...

Another interesting problem for SimCity that caused the traffic issues to be more noticeable is that demand for everything is basically infinite. Instead of being greeted with unpopulated areas when you plop too many residential slots you have a host of happy sims freely populate the area and...

Yeah that's exactly what they need to do and they claimed they had done it (Or something similar) in their pre-release technical discussions. That kind of behavior carries its own set of disadvantages (It's harder computationally and memory wise to process and store that information) and...

Originally I thought he was saying that the UFC is painting him as a wolf and GSP as the shepherd in order to sell tickets, but apparently 'wolf tickets' is an African and African American slang for 'talking shit in a way that avoids a fight', which really doesn't make sense.

I'd say not taking congested roads or road type into account is a huge problem and it's exactly what they've done. It doesn't matter what algorithm you use if you betray the algorithm by not giving it cost.

Most annoying trailer ever. can't wait to play a biotic in SR4.

Basically the first few path search algorithms a CS student learns are more advanced than what is in simcity. A typical algorithm would assign cost to each block of road (from intersection to intersection) and the agent would search through the paths to find the lowest cost. This is like...

I can only assume that the massive marketing campaign in the last month demanded they not do the delay they should have. Either way they fucked up and it's ridiculous the game is in the state it is.

holy shit this presser is hilarious. Nerdy super athlete who is susceptible to getting his jimmies rustled vs pothead super athlete who needs medication to be functional but can't because of the athletic commission.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36YMv...ature=g-subs-u "they're selling you wolf tickets" GSP is looking around like, "Man everyone here understands Diaz but me" I just don't understand how you can be mad at Diaz. He's obviously a socially dysfunctional person who just wants to be a...

fuck that's not as good as a bet as I remembered... none the less your day of reckoning is at hand.

I know these guys are professionals but when I read shit like It makes me wonder wtf they were thinking. Cost-based pathing is graph theory 101. I've literally never seen a real pathing algorithm that doesn't take cost into account and I have no idea how one could ever implement a city simulator...

yeah the kid is retarded and I hope they stop putting him on the screen.

It's tough to say. On one hand Amazon may likely foot the bill for these returns, on the other hand they're generating a lot of good press and a lot of people are wishing they bought it from Amazon. Amazon is a fucking giant, but I'm sure they like the profit they make on digital sales as...

I'm getting increasingly excited by the idea of crackers being able to let you have one city that encompasses the entire region.

IGN put out a review and gave it a 7, which I think is a fair grade since parts of the game as so good and most of the big problems are fixable. And I'm not sure if the initial high scores are because journalists are shills or because they're under so much pressure to review a game within a...

He's Italian Argentinean! the prophecy survives!

It's very unlikely the server is capable of offloading the simulation at that level. There's just no reason to do it. And yeah, a limited offline mode is around the corner, but building a fully working server implementation that a user can build their own region up in a competent way is not...

That's not true. The pathfinding is bugged for a variety of reasons listed in detail above. (sims don't evenly distribute among the resources, they all dogpile on the nearest one, and the pathfinding takes shortest path rather than lowest cost path). This stuff is all detailed as working in the...

This is my bet.

It's been a while but he had a much bigger presence in the shows than the books. And yeah, he was a badass warrior and war leader who was put in charge of a kingdom during peacetime. All the other shit with Cersei, Eddard's sister etc was just secondary to the fact that Robert Baratheon was...

show sucked. Merle/Michone/Karl/Daryl spin off plz.

ameraves bro it's time for prefight shit talk. Whatever bet we made I made the correct choice.

New simcity DLC announced http://www.simcity.com/en_US/buy

http://www.reddit.com/r/SimCity/comm...tarted_basics/ I guess the javascript/json based UI is more or less open source as if Bethesda released it (maybe more so). This tutorial shows you how to display the true population of your town (not that it matters really).

I forget, who bet me that GSP wouldn't be able to control Diaz most of the fight?

fanaskin, I guess I'm more interested in whether Pope Francis I took this oath than whether jesuits used to take this oath.

Fanaskin, do the Jesuits/Catholics ever claim the Extreme Oath of the Jesuits or is that just some bullshit conspiracy theorists made up?

I wouldn't be surprised if now that the game is playable a lot of the devs took their post-release vacation and began handing off the game to the B team.

What did he do to stop it? Because if it's anything like making a statement saying gays shouldn't marry I dont' think you should be that surprised or disappointed.

There's something less entertaining about a 15yo girl beating up people than a 10yo one. I'm sure a lot of pervs will feel less guilty about being attracted to hitgirl now, though.

Cool, I loved the first one, but how could they possibly replace Nicholas Cage with another silly actor known for doing silly over-acted roles? Oh... Oh I see. Carry on.
