After playing XXL a little bit, it is pretty much what I expected its XL with some updates but not many. Is it terrible...nope actually if your main goal is making a pretty city its pretty good, if you want something along the line of SimCity when population management is equally as important then you wont like the game.

He needs to put that much effect, energy and dedication into working out, he'd be an animal if he could apply himself in the gym like he can yelling and spitting into his mic.

It's a video game...really....it's not the end of the world.

Back to the online world, when I walk through places, i.e. the Austin Airport it's amazing how 90%+ of the people are plugged into their phones, laptops etc...no one makes eye contact, no one speaks...if the internet or their data plans went down those people would be like lost sheep.


We also notice it in sports, when I started as an usher at Kyle Field and prior, when I was a student it was freaking LOUD! Now not so much, the entire student body is on their phones, they are surfing the web, chatting, posting on FB or something other than yelling at the game...it's disappointing. Look on T.V. when they show the crowd, at pretty much any sporting event, look at home many of the people are on their phones.

my 2 cents.
I really don' t get why he is so popular actually I think its irritating but whatever...differences make the world go round.

People are truly addicted to the internet its kinda sad actually, even when I have my days at work when its slow I run out of stuff to look for pretty fast because I don't care about celebrity news, I don't want to read out the worlds problems ( mostly because of agenda biases), so if I am not looking for anything specific I don't actually look for long.

It does get him users and money so I give him that, even if I don't really understand why.
