THIS JUST IN!

“"The Decepticon forces have struck a deal with Osama Bin Transforming: in exchange for new powers and forms, they will supply enough Energon to fully reactivate Saddam Hussein within the next two weeks.

The quest for Energon - a rare and potent substance the Autobot and Decepticon warriors have battled over for eons - continues.

Now legions of hyper-powered Decepticons speed toward Earth, intent on controlling its Energon resources at any cost!

Only an elite team of Autobots, empowered with the Spark of Combination, can save the planet from total destruction."

“So Tarpy, how's the SimCity game coming?”

“I haven't played that game since the original one came out. The new one looks cool.”

“SimCity 4? It is, but the Windows platform has a hard time rendering much of the animation, and a lot of it looks very choppy, especially as your city starts to develop, and the graphics become increasing complex.

Speaking of which, is EA planning on making a version for Mac OS X? I think Apple's platform would be much better at rendering the graphics, and the game might run much smoother there.

Just my $0.02...”

“I have SimCity4. I played the original a few years back, so I pretty much have to learn how to make the damn city work all over again.

It loads nicely on my puterator with a WindowsXP platform. The graphics are pretty neat, and the sound is fun too.

But that damn thing is gonna drive me either to drink, or somebody's cat is gonna be found swinging from a light pole.”
