Yeah that's a sad but interesting case of 'urban evolution'.
It will come back, hopefully much changed for the better, but it's going to take a very long time.

Tell you what, I will have a look when I get home and see if I have a spare key for it to gift you. :-)

Edit: Removed my comment, jut in case it caused an argument.

They brought New maps, new weapons, new elements in the game, what did you expect, it's a first person shooter afterall.

yes its awesome :)

As long as they keep selling, they won't stop doing it, why would they? Eventually if things change they will slowly change as well, but as long as it's profitable over all, they will keep doing it.

What is stopping other cities doing the same? Has this not set precedent for others to follow suit and just declare themselves bankrupt?

Um, I posted that long time ago.

I see what you did there and i'd agree :)

Yes it is, I have it ;)

I think that if I ever decide to start doing awful things, I'm going to make sure to hoist a flag of Mickey Mouse every time, just in the idle hope that all things Disney-related will be banned.

(Also, I'm now thinking about my idea for the sequel to Bambi where the dead mother comes back as a zombie and murders the hunters. Best idea for a cartoon movie that I'll never get to see...)

Additional - Don't get wrapped up in hero worship, use your big boy/girl brain to find out if the person you thought was great wasn't actually a piece of shit, combat stupidity and intolerance instead of worrying about pieces of fabric, and religion is hateful garbage that harms people endlessly, so it should be banned in all forms. ;)

Detroit was dependent on one industry, when that failed the entire city failed.
Hopefully this will not be the case elsewhere.
Several other large cities are reaching critical mass finance and infrastructure wise though, only time will tell.

I meant no offence with my comment, which is why I removed it above. I have no real right to comment on the whole flag thing, I was just sharing the view of someone who is not directly involved (not an American).

*big squishy return hug for the little Blob* :-)
Exactly. When someone says "Stars and Bars", my mind automatically thinks of the CSA flag, and I get confused. I don't think it would be too much to ask for people to know the name of what they are arguing about... [/US history nerd]
Aw... you are too nice ;-)
You realize that if you do have one, I'd have no choice but to accept, and reorganize my entire lineup of "currently playing" games? That would be an awful lot of work for me :-p
(In any case, I really appreciate the effort :-))

I like both. I just think that people just be realistic about things. I heard people claim that CoD. AW was "groundbreaking regarding story telling", because Kevin Spacey was in it. That's wrong. It's a 6 hour entertainment flick with a lot of explosions. It's like calling "The Expendables" a movie with a revolutionary narrative.
Sometimes I want to relax. Then I start some games like Prince of Persia, where I just float along. Other times I want to be challenged on a mechanical level. Then I play DotA or back in the day DoW2 or SC2 (or even further: Wc3, SCBW)
Sometimes I want to be challenged morally. Then I play Witcher 3 or Deus Ex or Spec Ops.
Or I want to live through an adventure and boot up stuff like Banner Saga.

There's stuff for everyone. But people just need to be honest about what is what and not let buyer's bias get the best of them. Let them be glorified Hollywood blockbusters. That's ok.
I hate people that are like "Ugh so uncultured. There's no ominous plot twist and the characters are one dimensional." - " If I want to play Duke Nukem, I do not want to wrap my head around some giant 5000 pages worth of character development. I worked 10 hours that day and I just want to relax and turn of my brain."

I agree and i must admit that i never heard the Stars and Bars before although i knew the CSA flag already...:)

Don't let my hysterical laughter fool you, I'm actually intensely offended. Honest!
