Mrtnrln, SC4, or not, the NFS series, is still an EA game. You know how that goes. In the beta NFSU1 the traffic lights were originally not stuck on yellow, the red and green worked. However running red lights in racing games can cost you, I have gotten broadsided blowing reds, try it in SC4, see what happens. Boom!

In the beta NFSU2, the reason why the signs are odd, they did not originally have those weird icon markings on them, they only had the signs tell you in bolder fonts and colors where you were going, and those signs in my opinion did not look like road signs at all. I think they changed it to Americanize it. I don't know when you took those pics, but you have got a lot of racing to go compared to that amount of $. There is a way out of the city, its called the airport. Thats how people leave, they just fly out. There was a 1 time glitch on my GameCube that I got to drive around freely on the airport runways only because someone crashed me over the jersey barrier, and the planes would go right through my Nissan 240 when they would land. Now that's odd. What kills me is they have that one stretch of highway with that one road closed for construction in NFSU2 you cannot freely drive on, its also not marked on the map. I have driven under there in a race, and it stinks its never opened to traffic, because it was a nice cut through.

Look out below, I got two oddities. First, when I took a picture of the city, the snapshot instructions got stuck!

Second, lets advertise cigarettes (Marlboro) in whats suppose to be a kids game! (when this happened in a SEGA game back in the early nineties, it sparked controversy when that game released in American shelves, maybe those Japanese developers didn't know at the time, this was before there was ESRB)

What about the street sign that says "Keep Right" that is facing opposite the direction of traffic flow on the one way street?  That seems kinda odd too....

Because its a last minute resort to not get them to go the wrong way. In real life, I'm stuck seeing cars, majority trucks coming down the wrong side of the median on these 4 laners so many times! Some times they are sober, and there is a lack of signage of the road to inform your going on the wrong side, even though you should be able to see the median. Other times, they are either drunk or high, that they oppose traffic. They seem to have given up on the keep right symbol signs where I'm at through any of these cities.

Of course if Mrtnrln did not make examples of driving that way in Need for Speed Underground 2 on the wrong side of I-27, then... Oh!!! Haha! Just messing with you Maarten.

Sadly though, it really just is not funny because there was someone who got killed going down the wrong side of the interstate not to recently in my state.

Some times ago a brown bear wandered from Slowenia through the Alps to South Germany. In Germany bears have disappeared eons ago as it is way to dense populated. So a big hunt began, the newspaper called the bear "Bruno" and as allways on such happenings Bruno had the tendency to appear on at least five locations.  :D

Eventually they shot him ...  &mmm

@xtra cash:  :D Funny picture! What happpened there? Maybe this:


The mayor finds that a forrest would look great around his city, so he ordered some trees. A few weeks later:
"So here are the trees you ordered, sir."
"What trees? I only see boxes!"
"The trees are in the boxes, sir."
"But why didn't you unpack them?"
"That will cost extra, sir."
"WHAT?"


Best,

I guess no one has ever bothered to look at the sky (we always look at the city). It appears that SimCity...HAS TWO SUNS!!!



This is one helicopter, creating two shadows :D. I guess there is two suns :P
