Was there any reason to build a city in SimCity other than to ruthlessly destroy it?
If there was I never got it.
SimCity 2000 was the first game that I bought for the PC. Figuring out how to install and play that game, reading the instruction manual etc. ended up teaching me how to use Windows and taught me a whole bunch of English way back when I was a little kid.
My favourite thing in SimCity 2000 was crashing the traffic helicopter into the ground. Will Wright, you are a genius.
R.I.P Big Bop (and the Kathedral)
Played my first gig ever there with the Ecstatics. You will be missed.
The Night The Kathedral Died
Ah, the Kathedral. For years, it’s been our city’s Freak Mecca. A place where leather-clad ruffians could go on a Wednesday night to hack a butt with a homeless guy, catch an offensively-named hardcore outfit, or act a fool in general. A local watering hole that mohawked miscreants could take refuge in and call home. LikeCheers…for punks.
Thursday night, then, was something like a series finale for the venue, as hordes of cone-studded scalawags crammed inside its grimy, storied walls one last time for a free show entitled “The Night The Kathedral Dies.” Though it wasn’t officially the spot’s concluding event—The Big Bop’s got a couple more gigs tonight for metal puristsand MDMA-lovers alike before it closes for good—it was undoubtedly its final dollop of shit-kicking punk rock. Coordinated by John Tard, ex-lead screamer of Toronto’s self-proclaimed ‘asscore legends’ The 3Tards, the evening featured some of the nastiest local punk practitioners ever to grace that soiled, sticky stage.
