It turns out the game did not even need to be "Online-only" EA is playing a dangerous game here if they are lying to gamers about Simcity like this. Why is the offline mode unavailable without a hack? Why is EA telling everyone it would be difficult to do an offline mode and reduce the burden on their servers with an "always on" approach? Something is foul at EA games and this is turning into the "Watergate/Lewinsky scandal" of the gaming world. EA has a lot to answer for.

Well if you are a good boy, I might consider it @Fishie, I agree his early stuff was a bit bratty, I didn't like the new Charlie in the Chocolate factory for good reasons. However, he is a decent actor and he's improved over time. I read some of the early reviews, according to the reviewers, the show has promise, but it might come off a little too urban for its location.

Yes, it was real event. Yes, I am like that in real life. I wanted to write reality and just show you guys a piece of my life and piece of who I am with a recent experience. As some of you know, my tenant is an ex-Catholic priest, who had been convicted of child abuse during the early 2000's. I discovered that fact more than a year ago and you can even find that detail in my old postings, if you find that too incredible to believe. He is a registered sex offender of the highest grade, but to everyone who doesn't look on the sex offender registry, he is a decent guy. He paid his debt to society with several years in Prison already. I am not a hero in any sense of the word, nor am I a crusader. I did not want him to be harmed out of kindness and my own personal sense of honor. Maybe, I am wrong to hold such beliefs in honor and integrity on personal level based on the facts, but I just can't allow it. As for my characterization, I am weird analytical guy in real life. Q, Cassie, and Intune are probably the only people on GA, who have met me. Only Cassie has actually spent time with me long enough to get a few glimpses at that part of me. I am nice and honest person in real life, but I am also very direct. I know I am very imperfect in the way I act. If the guy had been more pissed off with me after revealing his own inner most thoughts and desires rather than being scared and shocked at me, I'd probably be in the hospital rather than writing this story in the best scenario. I was overreaching and I knew it. Part of me just wanted to keep him talking and maybe throw him off his quest. I don't know what I was doing exactly, but I know my purpose was to minimize the harm as much as I could to myself and the old man. Just wanted to add some detail... In the Cold

Finn is hat your way of asking me out

Wait...you said I could have a few milky bones and hugs Thank you for publishing so many stories

Blasphemy (I agree after she came back from the dead it was never the same; though, I liked that musical episode)

I remember, sounds like a good grassroots effort. It wasn't my favorite show, to be honest i didn't watch Upn much. I want another firefly movie though so i get you vm fans

Let me look up Freddie Highmore's birth year...1992, I can lust after him, he's been legal for 2 years (Not to mention the sexy british accent) I'll give the show a chance, even if it doesn't live up to the classic Hitchcock. (Vertigo and North by Northwest are my favorite of his movies, more Vertigo as it deals with ideas I identify more with.)

Here Fishie, let me give you a few puppy kisses, It Looks great

Just saw the trailer and instantly recognized the movie reference and story. I am intrigued that they would try to do Hitchcock on TV, but I hope they pay homage to the original story and show us the story as Norman fall into madness. Of course, most gay guys in the past generations have tried to avoid any links with the classic Psycho character, due to the negative connotations that popular views held about gayness and mental illness. http://youtu.be/Nkn5aEadrX4 (Also, the actor playing him is sort of cute in the boy next door type of way, I wouldn't mind if he was hiding behind my shower curtain, without drag and knife of course ) Anyone else going to catch it?

I'd pay a subscription to see that .....<Bad horny Puppy!> On the extreme, I know guys who spend days locked in their rooms playing Halo 3 to unlock everything from headshot achievements to gun-less levels.

Sweet lyrics, thanks Tet. Yo boy, whiteys can rap, too!

They are giving everyone that bought this crap a free game, big whoop, I want Simcity not Battlefield 4! I was open minded to playing with other people, even if I can't play offline. I would have loved to play a simple single player simulation. However, this thing is stinking up the gaming community. It's creating backlash against DRM and online gaming. I think EA made a big mistake in SimCity, it is not supposed to be a game to be shared with everyone around the world like World of WarCraft or Eve, we could play together in small groups of our choosing, but we don't need to be online all the time. I am an MMO player, but from time to time, I want to be alone in my private creative world. A simulation game is not an RPG, they are separate genres and mindsets. Anyway, Myr I completely agree with you, Don't Buy this Game!

Must turn Fish into my Beta

Ugh.... I have a litany of complaints with this Simcity: Bugs, city size, money management, and crashes! I just spent $55 dollars on a digital lemon. I want my money back from EA. I am also going to put them on time out for game purchases, just to show them I am not amused by what they did to SimCity. Basically, EA games took my childhood past time, stripped it down, gave it emotional issues due to neglect and abuse, and threw it out on the street. You should not treat people that way, nor a game like that. It's complete Bullshit Give me Simcity 2000 or 3000. And I am not the only one egged off by EA: http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/03/08/ea-employee-chastizes-company-over-simcity-in-public-letter/

Kudos dude, you should not work in a job that cannot work for you. The aim of any job is to turn it into a career, something that you can work with and live with down the line, not a 9-5 prison sentence.

Getting a bit depressed due to the download How's the online gaming going for the rest of you?

In the Cold By W.L The world is complicated. We are neither perfect angels of mercy or demons of vengeance. Sometimes, you have no choice, when there are countless choices open to you. Sometimes, you think you have all the choices in the world, but in the end, you can only make one fateful choice. It was a very cold night in January. The last few days were brutal, but this particular night took the cake. I would challenge any Bostonian to walk around and wait for a bus with the icy wind

A Real-Life based tale of a cold New England night

Lol! That image reminds me of the Simpsons episode, where a hippie was so baked that they ate the kids

...Endless Space, Civilization, and Simcity for PC Yang, you need to go back to your inner gamer, I suggest buying a game and locking yourself in a room until you finish every level and discover every possible secret, while uploading it to your youtube account

Makes me want to read an old story from cryboy.org , I hope it still exists Thanks Method for sharing, I am getting softer as I age

Next year, Apple will produce the "iSee" at twice the price tag with more features Don't worry Finn, you can hide out with me in a cabin somewhere in the woods, where no technology can ever have access to you...oh wait Google satellites already know where that is, so I guess we're all pretty much doomed I think privacy is going out of style with the explosion of information technology, you can tracked with GPS, your favorite songs listed by Amazon's buyer algorithms or iTune's, and your personal contacts can link you to every group or organization in the world.

"Don't let go cyhort!" Well if they want to replicate the original hit list of rich/famous for the maiden voyage: James Cameron will definitely be invited. I have had only one crush on a girl in my life, it was Kate winslett and Leo Dicaprio probably could use a cruise down record movie lane I love the history of the Titanic and its humanity from the arrogance of Bruce Ismay the Ceo of white Atari lines to the heroism of second officer who organized one of the few rescues after the sinking with his small lifeboat. Curious enough, he would later participate in the dunkirk evacuation. Despite all that humanity, I can't really agree to see a replica of the same ship on the same route. It feels like hubris that human beings will again fall to nature.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/27/travel/titanic-2-to-sail/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 An Australian billionaire came up with the idea. Sorry, but I have to laugh at this article. There are a lot of things that makes me squeamish about boarding the ship. That scares you Sounds familiar No offense to my people, but Chinese ship construction is very new and not at all on the top tier of safety. Probably labor costs are low. Overall, I am not sure if this idea is really good or just a publicity stunt.
