I'd likek to see Expendables and Machete, but I'll catch them on DVD or cable. No going to the theater for me for a while.

Only movies I know of offhand that are upcoming that I want to see are Resident Evil: Afterlife and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.

The rest of the previews I kinda forgot the names to the movies cuz I was too focused on the action in Expendables xdsmiley2dl6[1].gif

Technically, to todays teens, this is speaking.

I don't know what weather you have had lately but I have seen post-storm photos (never in person) where strong storms moved those things across the fields and into a creek, or some similar barrier.

Rex, I've lived in the Plains almost all my life, where such bales and strong winds are both common, and I've never seen a wind outside of a tornado that could move one of those. icon_razz.gif

Strong winds, if they are like the bales in my photo album.

Plain old Google logo here today
(Sep 8 2010, 05:08 AM) toroca

Google has already changed their logo (here, at least). Today, it's completely grayscale until you type something in the search box, then it lights up one letter after another. icon_smile.gif Usually when they do these logo games, there's a reason, but they haven't posted one yet for the past two days' special ones.

Hi Waterz. How have you been?

But I'm feeling my posts look a little bare, perhaps an avatar and an signature, haha.

Late morning here, in fact, 2 minutes until the afternoon: or 1h 46 until the work day is over! Haha.

QUOTE
Rod Humble, head of EA's The Sims Studio, sat down for an interview with CNET covering The Sims, with a few remarks on SimCity Societies.

Humble says that the strategy on the development of SCS was similar to the one used with The Sims 2:

QUOTE
Hey how can we broaden this? How can we make it less challenging, easier to use, and make it more into a creativity tool?


The reviews SCS received after launch have been a mixed bunch. Humble promises though to stand by his customers and deliver what they want:

QUOTE
Our job now is to deliver to our customers who are giving us feedback (and we're giving them) free updates to make sure they get what they want. We're going to stand by them and add that challenge that they're looking for and add that extra depth.
Humble seems to admit that SCS may have become a bit too easy for some players:

QUOTE
We got the (general) accessibility bit down and now we need to address their concerns, "Hey, I want more push back. I want more challenge." It's usually been the opposite: "Hey, your game's too complicated. Make it easier."


On the question whether there will be a The Sims 3 Humble says:

QUOTE
Well, who knows? Yeah, of course, there will be. We are looking forward to talking about it in the future, but not now.

I'm a little confused by his comments. I'm wondering if he means that the future for SimCity is going to be the dumbed down substandard *#$% that societies is, with just a little more challenge? No Thanks. Please stick to the Sims Rod, you're really good at that. Return SimCity to the model that it was, only better. There's no reason that both customer bases can't be served.
