@mattyftm: Yeah, super weird and awesome. I just spent an hour exploring a destroyed Japanese elementary school. Everything from the bathroom to the gym was mapped, after guessing I looked up the location on google maps, apparently it was a school that was hit by the tsunami.

Nakahama Elementary School, Kune-２２-２ Sakamoto, Yamamoto-chō, Watari-gun, Miyagi-ken, Japan - is the adress if anyone's curious.

That's pretty awesome. Playing with it now. What is up with google street view though? Did they drive inside this weird old abandoned building, because it's basically just an adventure game now, where I'm able to explore every room inside this place.

Is there any reason why someone SHOULDN'T charge for content they create? It's their voices, their time, they should be able to charge for something they are putting effort into, if they think they can. It's not greed, its business. They make it, you want it, so they ask to be compensated.

Just as a note I have zero interest in the product and am not donating. It's really just that simple.

Agreed. This site does not have enough bird noises. Nor does it have enough horse bag or wizzzaaaaAAaaaard.

I like the Gamespot guys and don't mind the two sites getting together, it's just... it feels repetitive. I don't know that I'm interested in seeing Defiance on the Wednesday show and then also the quick look. It's kinda weird.

I know, of course, I don't have to consume both pieces of content, but I'm crazy and tend to watch everything Giant Bomb puts out.

Forget elaborate names, I forget regular names in fiction almost immediately. Video games, movies, television, doesn't matter, I can't remember anyone's name without specifically trying.

My chat just keeps telling me I'm not logged in.

Show is live. Or at least, music is live.

That's a little bit of bull. The servers allow people to access the game, sure, but they're supposed to be reviewing the game itself, not the ease of access to it.

If it wasn't a necessary part of the game, than sure, it wouldn't matter. But when some people can't connect to the game, or lose progress because the servers a fucked up, that's entirely on Sim City because there is no game without the servers.

No, it's on EA, not SimCity. The game itself is still a 9, according to Polygon. This would be like rating Call of Duty (pick one, any of them) and giving it an 8, 9, or 10, but then lowering it because the community is bad. The game itself is great, but the things surrounding the game ultimately cause it a lower score? That's something I expect from crying fans a la DMC, not so-called professional reviewers.

Except that's not like a bad community at all. The servers are required to play, a nice or mean community is not. The servers don't surround the game, they are the game. It's unfortunate because if that wasn't the case I'd agree.

Nothing. I'd be more likely to pay the ninety-nine cents for a game than to pay for a weird in game thing like that.
