My first night in SimCity: the wasted time, the good time, the giant fire-breathing lizard time
Comments 1
I am torn between two reactions to SimCity. On the one hand, my experience last night wasn’t really all that bad. I saw the US servers were slammed, waited 40 minutes to try and get into one while I caught up on emails, and then gave up on the US servers and played on a western European server. I played for about three hours, and while I did have two momentary connection glitches, I was able to get right back to my game without any trouble and no lost progress. On balance, SimCity was only slightly inconvenient and quite nice to play. But what rankles is that it still shouldn’t be anywhere near as inconvenient as it is.
Centaur Warrunner is the most manly of all centaurs. Calling him a tank would be a true understatement. He can shrug off punishment and then turn it against foolish enemies. Even the most dangerous of heroes should be careful when going toe to toe against Centaur: it could spell their own doom.
If your team needs someone to man the front lines and take a beating, Centaur is your man man/horse hybrid thing.
Just don’t feel bad for him. He excels in being beaten up. Here's why.
Magnus is a gigantic magnoceros. 
Along with 
Naga Siren is a lithe looking serpent with talents and abilities that can leave you speechless. I’ve seen team fights come back from the brink of failure, ganks be utterly negated and enemies who think they can run meet their inevitable death. Of course all of these things require extensive knowledge of how she works and items she absolutely must have. After playing a few games with her (spectating even more), here are my first impressions.
War... War never changes. Except in EVE Online, where it tends to change with every new expansion. CCP's latest, Inferno, has just landed on Eve's only server. There’s a lot of new features to take in for the residents of the New Eden star cluster. Inferno follows up on last winter’s Crucible, which was the most beloved expansion released for EVE in a long time - in other words, it has a lot to live up to. It looks like it will do just fine.
