I forgot I had this

This one falls under the heading of Virtual Packrat.  I found this game many many years ago and I don’t remember how, but it’s a pretty neat city planner, quite addictive, lots of fun.

Enjoy!

What the hell is wrong with people?

August 21st, 2005

So I found myself in the first-wave of the closed beta test for a new, upcoming MMORPG that I have been waiting forever for.  I don’t want to list it because I am under a Non-Disclosure Agreement, but rest assured, as soon as that is lifted, I will be posting screenshots because this game is cool as hell.
