There is a Rite Aid next to Safeway? And for the rite aid that sucks that is what is going in where all the dirt is being moved back and forth back and forth lol.

You should be more worried about my bearded face, wearing black rimmed glasses, driving my Subaru through the mountains right now.

Yep. It will be the Georgetown Tower, a mini version of the Trango Tower. Gotta make it look like the mountains!

Comoneymaker, how is that version of SimCity?

Hey Comoneymaker...... if possible, could you please dump your above sim (if it's easy?) into Georgetown, Co, so RyanD (and me too) can see what it's going to look like there when he's done with Georgetown, with all the mountains around? And this can all be financed by all the tolls they'll be getting from the Tunnel expansion up there, eh?

Not as good as 4. You can tell the city area is actually really small. And power, waste, garbage, education and venue for money takes up half that space. Plus they took out the ability to customize anything. Can't design your own region building or anything. Also if you play by yourself you have to constantly bounce around through cities to make it work. Gets confusing too. Lots of bugs in the game still too.

I know you didnt ask me, but I think it sucks in many ways. It's awesome for the detail and how you can zoom in to street level and stuff...but the whole rest of the game is crappy.

Good to know. I built a new speedy rig a little bit ago and have been debating. Looks like I'll still hold off. Thanks for the feedback!

We're eating dinner on the train. So yes, it is part of the festivities.

So while I was trying to find pictures from my simcity 4 city which looks like they are gone I discovered two other games. CitiesXL which I am downloading now. It looks way better than Simcity 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0DJlSG5iKQ

Then Cities Skyline is in the making and it seems kinda good.

Careful with Cities XL. It's a fantastic game, and I've made some awesome cities but it gets super laggy when your city gets large. Still a great little city game.

[RyanD]

So just letting you guys know... I'm kind of a big deal now. My photos are all over SOM's DUS project page and I think they present the project very well.

[Sam Hill]

Don’t forget the little people, Ryan. Don't forget the little people.

[bunt_q]

I dunno Ryan, looks like you cut off the four seasons. Might want to work on that composition some.

[RyanD]

^Or or or! We can look at the original. SOM has the right to do whatever they want with the cropping.

[bunt_q]

We I need to modify your license agreement to include some reasonable cropping restrictions to safeguard the artistry.
