I played Sim City when it looked like this:

Good old Commodore 64.
I waited two weeks to get the current one. It's a fun game, but when I heard that it required a connection to their servers, I knew it would be Diablo III all over again. Since I started playing, I've experienced about 2 minutes worth of server issues, though I also moved to a different server when the first one I was on had an 18 minute queue. I grow tired of anti-piracy measures that hurt legit customers far more than they hurt software pirates.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
