Probably not needed these days for a comment but one of my favourites.

If you don't mind the graphics, the game is extremely fun and varied (for the game it is) and a great city / community builder, with a lot of gameplay that verges on wholesomeness to psychotic, depending how much organ harvesting and cannibalism you delve into. Neither end is really required and you can only eat the bad people if that works, or no people, but depends on the map sometimes. Really for the most part you grow food and build structures to defend from jerks, what you do beyond that can make a unique story though.

Yes more TNG sounds good! I'll be honest haven't watched a series since Enterprise, but I do still watch TNG and well most Enterprise and pre series. Not as much Enterprise as the rest mind you.

Also yes, Orville almost scratches the TNG itch but not 100%.

Actors who always commit to their roles! It's always a pleasure to see them, especially when you see them go from very serious to comedy in various parts. Tom Hanks was fantastic in the 80s when he was comedy but he seems to do more serious roles since then. Also why Saturday Night Live skits can be awesome when such actors are guest starting.

Pretty sure it is, cause I always think of Charlie and Martin when his name comes up, yes I know not related just sticks due to last name.

Forget the value for sale offhand but yes you can harvest organs and replace them. Had to remove and put back in a brain when I played last.

We sure this isn't Captain Hindsight in disguise?

I've visited Calgary a few times but been over a decade now, one time I recall a turn lane being backed up like a km before the turn, was probably rush hour for that direction so maybe not overly usual, though I wasn't there long enough to find out. What I saw back then was a need for better planning of roads but guess they make do with what they have. This may be completely irrelevant to the entire issue but figure if they lack on some road planning expands to other areas.

I've seen one in the non capitol or metro area in Canada I live in, though there is money here since it's nice. So yeah I figured there must be more out there than the post said. First one I've seen in person, it look liked it belonged in a B movie, I couldn't help but laugh. I do think it's a good thing for people try and pollute less of course, just not want to give more money to the Nazi born having already won the game of life.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? Not sure if that counts as a big city, and maybe only one was really wrecked, and maybe one left before the second room. Guess it's time for a rewatch to refresh my memory.

Whatever bear is in Northern Canada gets tall enough to make muddy bear prints below the second floor of a house according to the mud prints on my friend's house (one of those houses that go up and down at the entrance height). I was pretty young, so only now the cynical side of me wonders if it was real but we also had a bear trap set up on our road at one point so I assume it was, plus since there was a cutline behind our house we saw them there now and then. It was up on a mountain on a side road with like 10 houses and the town below was pretty small.

I don't think it matters how big the bear is, it'll fuck you up if it wants to cause they don't come in tiny (compared to humans) and single. Oh yeah if you see a tiny one get the hell out of there cause mama isn't far and she isn't into socializing her cub.

These days I just assume my memory is shot but I was pretty sure it was EB but all the stores said GameStop when I checked so figured just a memory lapse. I sort of went to an equal amount of each in strip mall or inside versions. I've been in a few different areas over the years though.

I keep forgetting that they were different companies from the stories, usually only saw EB games up here. After I typed this I looked and it appears I saw GameStop stores and not EB, oh well guess not much will change since I don't go to them anymore and mostly play on PC these days. Used to quite enjoy getting used console games back in the day from them though, whichever company it was.
