Rarely do you have a practical exam here in the US. The last time I had an actual on the road driving test was when I got my license at 17. That was more than three decades ago...

Never fails to amaze me how many people have their side mirrors setup totally wrong. When done correctly, your blind spot is reduced to a very small area easily checked with a glance to the left or right (assuming you have normal peripheral vision).

I don't have much sympathy for anyone silly enough to buy this game. I bought SimCity, SimCity 2000, SimCity 3000, and SimCity 4 but I never came close to buying this. It was pretty clear it was a loser prior to release.

Anno 2070 is well worth it.
Is the Uplay usage for this a simple key verification, or is a constant connection to Uplay required? (I currently have no Uplay games...)

4. In multiplayer you are unlikely to run into foul mouth 12 year olds amped up on Mountain Dew.
No, but you might run into a 50 yr old amped up on Diet Dew, or hard liquor. But then it is a bit different when you've known the person for a couple of decades.

I dont know who Veronica Mars is. Is she like one of those fictional overblown pop culture icons like Buffy the Vampire Slayer? (I seriously never heard of this person before)
I think I've heard her name in passing, never could have told you what she had done. Not too shabby, but a bit short at 5' 1". She's got that "girl next door" look. Not the typical runway beauty.

(sorry for the revival of old topic but I was out all last week at training for work, catching up a bit)

Blue, what's happening?http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/bluesnews.com.html
That site is ok, but I prefer this one.

I wonder who we need to convince to get Bluesnews website uptime tracked there. I mean, Blues is more important that FB, Twitter, or Tumblr to me...

I don't get the whole 4K hype. 1080p is already so sharp that it breaks the illusion in many cases (I prefer watching LotR in SD rather than HD, for example.)
Really? Because you see things in HD that you think you weren't intended to notice and therefore it ruins your immersion or something? I'll agree there isn't much, if any, need for 4K currently. But preference of SD over HD? Don't recall having heard anyone say that before...

You built an MMO? 16 is massive? Congratulations Lucy, if you weren't already there you are now on the official list of idiots working at EA.

Taken in the context that she said it in, that's not necessarily unreasonable. But Blue didn't convey the context, so you'd have to have actually read her post. Easier to just insult her, eh?
Actually, I did read her update before posting. Even within the context of her statement her comment is idiotic on it's face.

"The text for this review is currently unavailable. Please check back later." I'm not sure if that is supposed to be the review, but either way it's funny.

There is only one way they can guarantee a purchase from me and many others at this point:

....
  • Larger regions
  • Screw the larger regions, I want larger city areas. Like the size of regions.

    Even if the on-line issues were non-existent, the limited size of the cities is a fundamental problem. It might be acceptable if you could have cities "running" in the background while you worked on another city in the region but that isn't the case.

    Yes and no. It's all relative, right?

    I've lived essentially the same way for more than 30+ years now. So, in some ways I live like a young person. But stuff like this makes me feel my age though...
