Helpful SimCity hints

This is about the 'Help' i told you about in the review. First tip. Always put your residential zones in a square, so it is a big square with a space for one zone in the center. put parks in the center until you get a gift and then replace the parks with the gift. it really helps the development of the zones.
There is also a way to get a million dollars as well! First you have to spend all your money in the first year and as soon as the screen turns black to take you to the tax sheet, press and hold the L and R buttons. while still holding the L and R buttons set all the %s to zero. while still holding the buttons select Go With Figures on the bottom of the screen and go back to the game. STILL HOLD ON THE BUTTONS. Go to the menu and then press the taxes button and set all the %s to 100% except the tax rate, set that to 20%. while still holding the buttons exit out all the way to the game.
Then release the buttons and you should have $999,999! Afterwards you should lower the tax rate and give your SimCitizens a break!

new halo book

Okay, this isn't a game, but its Awesome! I recently got the next book in the Halo series and it is called First Strike. For any of you out there and you say you don't read, your a gamer. I DON'T CARE, READ THIS BOOK AS FAST AS YOU CAN! It is so amazing that i would read it if i hadn't read a book since kindergarten and i was 20.

SimCity


Okay, I know this game is very old, but i also know that a lot of people loved this game, I am one of them as of today.
This game, as you probably know, is about building a city and making it as succesful as possible while avoiding crimes, preventing tornados and even running from bowser, not godzilla. this game is extremely challenging without the proper 'help', more on that later.
There are many possible rewards that aren't that hard to get, all you have to do is complete a task (it doesn't inform you of it, you just do it while you progress) and you will get it! Rewards range from fountains, you get one of those if your city lasts fifty years, to statues of the main plumber himself! Mario! Although you have to get 500,000 population to get him.
There are also many things to keep your city running smoothly and keeping your population up. First you really need to keep residential zones away from power plants because they don't like to live by smog! also keep residents away from airports. always try to keep commercial zones and residential homes so close the run on the same power supply. it really helps your money. and if you put a group of commercial and residential zones behind a harbor, it works wonders! (don't ask me why).
If your a fan of games that started a Super Series, i think SimCity started games like Roller Coaster Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon and all the tycoon games, or just a fan of outstanding games alltogether play this one!

EQ2 Update

Hey guys
I know i haven't been posting for awhile so i'll come at ya with an update. Something cool has happened. when i was playing last night, my character is lvl 16, it gave me and option to become the more advanced class, and i said yes! so now i have a lvl 16 paladin instead of a crusader named nanners, a lvl 14 necromancer instead of summoner named necrofreak, and a lvl 15 berserker in place of a warrior named ferociouslizard. Its Awsome!
