Forgot his name. He appeared in a few races back in like 2004 or 2005. Like I said, they made a big PR push for one race to show how "diverse" they were and then forgot about it.

Actually, they can. It's just the Taxi medallion owners lobbying against it because they're assholes. These assholes have derailed the outer borough taxi plan and now this to protect their complete control. This is despite them only serving Manhattan below Harlem. Assholes gonna be assholes.

Like that time they had that one black guy in NASCAR and they made a big deal of it for PR and forgot about him in two weeks.

I trust Jay Leno to buy it in proper Bruce McLaren papaya orange.

Canada or northeast US. They keep doing the western portion of the US. Then again, their own East Coast trip ended rather boringly.

Sweet +1

It's a bullshit excuse for DRM. Previous SimCity games didn't force multiplayer down players' throats, because you don't need it in a city simulation game. Having it as an option is always great; making it integral to the game functioning is a cheap excuse for DRM.

What if I just want to run my own city without having to hope that whoever I join in a region isn't a raging dick? Making multiplayer compulsory (either that, or manage an entire region) for a game franchise that never had it as a requirement is an idiotic idea, especially considering how many pre-pubescent morons get…

Serious question: Are you a paid commenter?

I wonder how much EA is paying for the "aw shucks, lay off EA, they're good guys!" comments. They're not really getting good product for their money. Regardless, EA screwed the pooch by making this game 1) be horseshit if you just want to run *one* city on your own and 2) need to always be online to play. These are…

This is hilarious. Did you just walk out of 1955?

"Scrappy" and "gritty" white players and "athletic" and "lazy" non-white players. That's the spectrum used by shitty sports writers.

No. It was, and is, a dumb, lazy word used by dumb, lazy sports writers. Grinder and gritty mean nothing. These words are commonly used when sports writers can't find a logical and fact-based reason for why a shitty ballplayer is employed by an MLB team. It's like when all-around shitty catchers make a team and lazy…

I know what you meant. My point is that trying to emulate an EA server, bugs and all, sucks, but proper EA servers aren't very reliable either.

You win the internets.

As opposed to rock-solid EA servers.

Lucky I didn't buy it. Thanks for taking a big steamy dump on a franchise I've been in love with since I was a kid, EA. That DRM measure, I'm sorry "cloud gaming", you implemented for this game has been a marvelous success.

All the "Well they have China" posts revolve around China protecting NK at all cost. China isn't happy with NK misbehaving. It'll help out NK while it behaves. If it continues down this path, China will sit by and watch the place get leveled and then have itself a whole lot of undeveloped land to use.

That's lovely. Except you have a picture of a 2007 Orion VII bus there.

Does it still have the weird pitching motion and animation bugs from years ago? What about the awful swing follow-throughs of The Show 12? Serious question. The CPU managing of RttS pitchers (sliders seemed irrelevant) made me want to throw my controller many a times.
