The new policy since kinja was implemented is that Gawker Media does not believe in bans anymore.

You sir, have been hoodwinked. That's not the real account for Patricia Hernandez. You do realize this, right?

This just seems like a lazy excuse to forgive them of the many steps back they took from the previous entries in the series. Comparing a game made in 2013 to one made in 1989...now THAT is folly.

The shame is that it doesn't grow to represent a burgeoning urban metropolis, it's just little islands of city attached with static highways and huge boundaries of green space that make it resemble little slices of city stored in a green carton. Super lame. Rewarding and challenging my left foot. Seeing your…

It doesn't matter the platform, people who bitch and moan about platforms/exlusives/ports/yadda yadda yadda are largely children, or act like children doing it.

Oh god, this feels so true.

Yeah, really kills the "City" part of the title. SimAFewBlocks is more like.

The port is not even developed by mojang, their only involvement is providing the source and their blessings. 4J is doing all the heavy lifting re-coding and making the port. Nothing about the PC version is affected in the slightest by their development

I guess the price of the PC version did go down a few bucks. You must have a pretty nice laptop from 2004, my old 1ghz, 1gb RAM rig from 2003 couldn't run the game for shit on anything more than low settings across the board, no lighting, and an 800x600 windowed mode. And forget modding it at that. Quite a few people…

Technically you —can— host your own "server," if one happens to have a console they don't mind leaving on indefinitely. Granted, it would be limited to 7 extra players at any one time but it's fully possible to do so. I know I've seen a post here or there around the internet from people who have done this.

There's no denying the port has some limitations not present in the PC version but is one— $10 cheaper and two— optimized incredibly well, runs like a dream. I prefer the PC version, but for anyone who has a crappy rig or no rig at all, it's a much, much better choice than playing the PC version on limited detail and…

The 360 version was supposed to be kinect-enabled. That feature seems to have quietly died off so one can only assume they decided it was a terrible concept.

Maps in the 360 version are of a limited play area precisely because of the memory thing (or at least I assume it's a memory or save file limit thing). Instead of getting an infinite map it's capped off at a 512x512 (IIRC) horizontal area. I believe they did this so that, no matter what alterations you make to the…

If this is NSFW your work is overly prudish.

Not sure, I just heard it the other day and took a liking to it. Seems appropriate when I think on it.

Yeppers.

All designed specifically to part bored retirees from their cash in as-seen-on-TV specials. Or was that only my grandparents?

Well said.

Not true in the least.

There's 5. A Dance of Dragons released in 2011. As events in 'Crows' and 'Dragons' run parallel to each other, expect the show to draw from both simultaneously.
