    Sooo, I caved and bought the Deluxe Upgrade pack from Origin. I..I don't know why or how. This game is going to be very bad for me. >.>

    When I preordered I just ordered the Deluxe edition, because I would have done that eventually anyway.

    Ooo, the City on the Brink is a river/island city for the first time in these streams. Also it is on fire. And their continuing seeming unwillingness to bulldoze all the rubble as fast as they can will once again drive me insane.

    EDIT: Ahhh, that's better, less rubble twitches now.

    It is sooooo nice that bridges are easy to construct.

    Looks like Strasbourg Isles, I think.

    The islands are a decent size, which is nice. One of those would be my private mayor island (the big one)

    Streetcar Avenue bridges are suspension bridges. They look like the Golden Gate.

    It only cut out once, went to the llama screen, and then came back.

    So, where is the standard edition? I don't feel like shelling out extra for whatever is in the limited edition.

    Limited edition is the standard edition, you just get access to the super hero/villain stuff. I would imagine once the game goes live the limited edition will go away. But the price for it will not change as EA loves doing the whole $60 game thing.

    So, I've missed who these guys actually are. Do they have a popular podcast or something?

    That was perfect timing. As soon as you said this I got the small popup "Tired of Democracy? Pre-Order Sim City Now!"

    I am not sure if anyone knows who the monkeys are, outside of the possibility that they were found in a time capsule from the 90s. The annoying part of the 90s.

    And yeah, I'm not sure "Build A Stadium" is actually going to be followed through with, since they can't afford it, and would cause the city to collapse far before the 4 hour mark.

    This is a really interesting conversation about the Trade Spec. That the answer to "What if I run out of resources?" is "If you play it well, you'll be so rich it won't matter."

    Aww yeah, Amazon is the best. I just called customer support to get my CAGROCKS code re-applied after they cancelled my pre-order and they wound up giving me $25 off. I'll take $35 for the digital edition any day.

    Stream died again.

    It seems to be having trouble when they are bulldozing. Maybe all the little particles are rendered independently and bogging it down when they demolish a bunch of buildings?

    That outage/restart was likely on purpose, to try and fix the FPS issue before continuing because that was just getting worse and worse.

    EDIT: And they're back, and the FPS is fixed.

    What magic did you work on the rep? They just did $15 off my order. :|

    The thing that makes the horrific slowdown funny is that they are all three talking about something happening in the game, without even the slightest hint that they know the slowdown is happening.... when of course it's obvious that they must see it.

    Its being said all over that reps were giving $25 off rather than 25%. Looks like you got a smart rep.

    Probably running on a Dell/Alienware and Norton popped up in the background saying, hey, I started a deep scan that will ruin your ability to work with your computer for 4 hours, would you like me to continue?

    So can avenues support more building types then streets, or is an avenue basically 'high density street' +extra traffic capacity?

    High density Street + extra traffic capacity.

    The latter, though it also allows higher density and the highest level includes streetcars and has higher traffic capacity than the higher street level.

    I used the ultimate tactic of "I used a promotion when I pre-ordered it and got like $20 off before you guys messed up and cancelled the order", and she was like "Alright awesome, I'll give you a $20 promotion that will show up on your next order" without questioning the number. It's not a lie if you're vague! Add in the $5 for the cancelled pre-order and hooray!

    I wonder if it could be a server issue, since alot of the media people are showing games and livestreaming it the last day or so. I hope not, cause that would be very bad for when EVERYONE ELSE gets their hands on it.

    So how do you upgrade to the digital deluxe version?

    Yeah, I'd say it looks like a local CPU/GPU issue. Llamas will take care of it.

    I think it's only Origin for the moment for pre-ordering. There's going to be a "digital deluxe upgrade pack" for $20 on day 1 DLC, though.
