saw this up on rps; long story short will wright gave money to the giuliani campaign (now thankfully dead). shock ensues.
duh, people! sim city is a deeply centralized, technocratic wet dream of urban management! of course the guy who wanted to regulate hot dog vendors is going to get mr. wright's cash.
(someone's political leanings and their artistic output are often only vaguely related; and even so, who really cares?)
edit: don't get me wrong, i don't like the idea of anyone giving giuliani money, but...it's also not really my business or concern. _________________

Yeah, I've never had trouble seperating art from artist, otherwise I'd have stopped listening to Thriller. |

spore is a game about top-down biological governance - this is hardly surprising.
as the non-existent saying goes, play in a thomist universe... _________________

Now that you mention it, this makes an awful lot of sense. You know, central planning.
It's not like SimCity is a libertarian game by any stretch of the imagination, after all. |

I want monorails and skyways and exuberant searchlights, airship docks, domes, etc.
Dammit.
"...they put Ming the Merciless in charge of designing California gas stations. Favoring the architecture of his native Mongo, he cruised up and down the coast erecting raygun emplacements in white stucco. Lots of them featured superfluous central towers ringed with those strange radiator flanges that were a signature motif of the style and which made them look as though they might generate potent bursts of raw technological enthusiasm..."
Technowankery ftw.
But fuck Guiliani.
Buttfuck Guiliani.
