I have played SimCity4 (but not the xpack). I have also played the demo for Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile..... I am looking to buy one of these two games....either the SimCity4 Deluxe edition....or the Children of the Nile game has anyone played both of these (full versions)? And if so...which one would you recommend?? My main concern with Children of the NIle is replayability.....ie is it in the game? Or, once you play through, is it all just the same thing over and over agai...

I work at my local walmart....I unload the trucks that come in during the afternoon. So, that means I go into work at 4 pm until whenever we get done (some nights, I am out by 10, some nights out by 4 the next morning). Well, with Mother Nature's wrath against us happening here in southwest Michigan.....the state police department has issued an advisory for ppl to not be on the roads unless "absolutely necessary". Hmmm.......is it absolutely necessary that I tread through drifts, and 15 inc...

In professional wrestling, Kayfabe (pronounced kuh-fay-bee) refers to the portrayal that events within the industry are real, that is, that professional wrestling is not staged. Kayfabe....Professional Wrestling's "Top Secret". I started watching wrestling (for the most part) in the mid-80's. Hulk Hogan's Hulkamania was running wild...he was an unstoppable force....or was he the immoveable object....whatever. Also, during the mid-80's, we had the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair dominating the ...

I have bought many previous MMORPG's in the past....and just about 2 weeks before WoW was released, I got hold of EQ2. EQ2 died a death on November 23. At least on my PC. I have been trying to put into words what I think and feel about WoW....but, my verbal artistic ability runs dry...in other words, I cannot form the words that describe my enjoyment with this game. I have noticed around some places, some ppl are sitting on the fence about trying WoW....well, let me point you somewhere.......

So, I bought this game today....I have actually had all the games in the Total War series. This one, by far, is the best yet. Shogun: Total War I thought was great, just because I love the time period and the culture of Japan. Medieval: Total War, for some reason, I was never really able to get into. I liked what it offered, but, nothing seemed to "click" for me in that game (even though I really enjoy reading about Medieval Europe). So, then...out comes Rome: Total War. A time period that...

so, i have noticed some threads on here, especially the politics forum, that messages get deleted, then the thread locked. Is this a moderator doing this, or is it a new form of debate & discussion? Some of my messages have been deleted, and then the thread locked....so, just wondering....

Anyone have this game? What is the game like? I am debating on buying it tonight after work, but not sure i want to lay out 40 bucks for a game that is the same after you play it once. What makes the game good/bad? Thanks Chris

I am seeing different numbers around and hearing them as different numbers? What the the actual total number for Repubs, Dems, and the Provisional Ballot (also, the absentee military vote)? Thanks Chris

My stomach is in knots (heh....i have Irritable Bowel Sydrome, so this tension about the election is doing wonders for me)......This is to me, a very important election, as I do not trust Kerry to properly use the military the right way, after all, i could see him "disbanding" the military all together (just joking). The thing is....even though I am deeply concerned about this election, I am so excited to be a part of it. I haven't voted yet, waiting to this afternoon once my wife gets home fr...

read the title.....now read this: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,137017,00.html

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41106 Interesting....this kind of stuff has been going around about good ol John for quite some time now...but if this is proven true, could this be the end of Kerry? Even if it isn't.....if it catches hold in this last week of campaigning, this I think might really hurt Godsend.

My dad, my father, raised me with the morals that i now have. He raised me to be honest, forth coming, to stand firm in what you believe in and to never back down, even when outnumbered. He taught me to be who I am, and not conform or pretend for anyone. This mind set has earned the respect from some friends, but has also forced me to be a cast away from those who don't particularly care for a person like that. My dad is against abortion (especially partial birth abortion), he is against ...

What is the difference between a preacher, standing in the church that he has spent years and years building, blood sweat and tears, and giving the ppl, his ppl that attend his church, his personal political opinion on who should be in the President's office..... compared to.... Artists like, say, Bruce Springsteen or John Mellencamp (now I really like Mellencamp's music, btw), standing up at a concert, and giving their fans their personal political opinion on to who should be in the Pre...

This from Drudge.... http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/news/WABC_100304_middleschoolteacher.html Why should his picture be placed there among Presidents, if he hasn't been president yet?

in my current game, Edwin took over as head of the dynasty after his brother died of old age (at the ripe old age of 46), heirless. So, Edwin began to mold a great dynasty, living in clear peace for many years. As the Duke of Cumberland (and Lancaster), he built many county improvements throughout his lands. He had 4 vassals, and they all loved him. It was also during this period of time that Edwin took the claim to the Duchy of York. But, in his last several years, problems struck the Duke...
