Morning Discussion

A new week has dawned, and this one promises bikini-clad zombie slayers.

As expected, my enjoyment of Burnout Paradise is significantly higher after the latest patch. Hooray for the option to restart an event, instead of driving halfway across the map to try again. I sat down to play for a few minutes and ended up losing a few hours.

However, this will put force me to make a difficult call later in the week. Car crashes or zombie killing? I honestly don't know if I'll be able to decide. Both sound so appealing.

SimCity4 helps:

- I've got well funded elementary, high school, and even a college. They are funded to be operating under capacity (as in, have extra $) and the bus funding encompasses the entire residential zones. It's been a long time ingame (probably 30 years or so) but my EQ is still in the red for every fucking resident. WTF?

- I've got water going to everybody, but for some reason it keeps crapping out for some people. I've added extra pumps but for some stupid reason that seems to make things worse...

Anyone know what is going on?
