I owned an Iron Duke Firebird, the same car as the Camaro with a slightly different body. It was no speed demon, but it was *way* faster than 20 seconds 0-60. (That figure seems to come from a Time article that doesn’t provide a source.) I’d put it somewhere around 10 seconds with the 5 speed manual that I had. From a…

Just FYI, Sprint phones can roam in Japan for $5 per month, and you can turn it on and off at will. Turn it on before a trip, pay $5, turn it off when you get home. No need for a pocket wifi. Works for voice, text and data.

You would think that would be the point at which somebody would say "you know, I think we might need to run some more trains."

Jeeze, I don't own a single one of these, nor do I want any of them. A 2 year old NBA game? Really?

And okay, yes, every mainline Final Fantasy game to date has featured some sort of turn-based combat. But that's not what Final Fantasy has ever been about.

I've drawn the line. I absolutely will not be buying an Xbox One if these policies stay in place.

Microsoft most definitely used the term "video game console" for the original Xbox:

Yes, people do always complain. I've been watching these going back to the Saturn (they didn't really have "reveals" before that) - there are always people who bitch and moan.

That was when I burst out laughing too.

Maybe in Japan they'll call it the "Xbox Zero".

There *are* ways to mitigate traffic - in fact, while I've had a lot of the other problems people talk about, I've only occasionally had traffic issues and usually it's been because of some boneheaded thing I've done or just some random little road laying issue that was easily fixed.

Just watch the original series. It's a lot better.

I don't see the problem.

I've been wondering that myself. All I can think are two possibilities:

They can't put it on the internet if it isn't true.

Well, in real cities (you know, like SimCity is supposed to be simming), subways actually *alleviate* traffic.

It's because retailers make $7 on Nintendo consoles, and Nintendo does not accept returns from dealers for any reason. That makes Nintendo systems money-losers, and Amazon refuses to accept that. Other retailers accept it because the games make money, and you can't sell games without systems.

Everyone but EA is calling this one SimCity 5, so hopefully they'll go with 6 for the next one.

But in what way does this make the game better? It's basically a way to cheat by installing ads in your game.

My favorite part of that has always been how practiced the guy sounds saying "World of World of Warcraft". I can't even say it; he legitimately sounds like it's something he's been talking about for years.
