![]() Tap on the residential building menu to see the new OMEGA zones. Once you’ve built your NeoMall, you can start building OMEGA homes. As soon as you unlock the NeoMall, the advisor will give you a starting stash of NeoSimoleons for a shopping spree. ![]() The NeoMall contains rare items like Cheetah Speed-Up Tokens, Vu items, expansion items, or items of the future. If you meet the unlock requirements, the Future Cities Advisor will appear to guide you into the future. Unfortunately the patient is still frail, and I doubt I will still be playing this in two weeks.Tap on the NeoMall site between your Vu Tower and mountain area. Overall this does what an expansion pack should do, it will bring you back to the game for a while and breathe some new life into it. Sure you can have your cake and you can eat it, but the problem is that once you have built your first super-city of the future you are unlikely going to want to do it all over again just to get the same outcome. Was it going to be an industry-heavy city, or a research city or just a suburb for the wealthy, whereas now your city wants to be all those things. The downside to all this is that before you really had to think about what the 'character' of your city was going to be. The Academy gives you a good reason to have wealthy residents (which you could almost make do without before), as you need them to keep your ControlNet running and you can unlock lots of research projects that improve the things you can do with Omega and Megatowers. There are lots of choices as to what you can put in a megatower which gets you thinking in a new dimension other than planning zones.Īt the same time you can convert your industry to OmegaCo, however this requires expensive Oil, Ore and Processors to keep running, and unless you have a strong industry a venture into this project can quickly sink your city but the potential profits make you want to try nonetheless. You have to carefully plan your towers because once you have built a level you cannot change it unless you demolish all the levels above it, and you are limited to 8 megatowers with 8 levels each on a given map. Transitioning my vanilla city to megatowers was not as easy as I thought it would be and there were some precarious moments where my economy went into a freefall deathspiral requiring quick intervention. On the surface you would be forgiven for thinking the additions were just cosmetic, but in fact they add new dimensions to building up your city and are somewhat interdependent. I thought this was a good expansion that added some real depth to the simulation of the city and delivered some of that original SimCity trial-and-error experience. All the futuristic upgrades are satisfying always with that Maxis charm since playing SimCity on the Super Nintendo.Īwesome graphics, enhanced futuristic sound track, smart and applicable future concepts, stable servers, and a more cerebral experience overall, this game is worth the money, and forces you to think strategically, and resourcefully. The mega-towers are sweet, you can customize them to suite your current sim needs. Worth mentioning is this expansions feels MORE DIFFICULT, I've failed my first few cities so far on the desert-schemed Desolation map, but am still hopeful because of regional benefits of the failed cities! Play this Yin/Yang correctly and the possibility is there to create a sim Utopia. Green technology is the other avenue you're invited to explore, but at the burdon of being expensive and timely to research. The expansion feels more mission and morality based this time around, greed is actually technologically advantageous and fuels your cities with profit, but at some insidious costs later on. Updates abound and traffic is less of a problem, your sims seem to sleep at night, leaving the roads available for whatever service trucks you having running around. Maxis once again did a stellar job with the futuristic art concepts and graphics. With a fresh city, you'll quickly discover the futuristic parks transform all nearby territory including buildings and roads, making them look neon and sweet. After a fascinating and informative cutscene that cleverly explains the new features clearly, (AND IS ALWAYS SKIPPABLE, not sure why GwionBach provides that misinformation) I was ingame creating "New Vegas" with zero server instability whatsover. After putting 120 hours into the "Vanilla" Simcity, I must say this expansion is the fo sho.

To understand why the people Loder reports on might be anxious to stop this research from being published, it helps to know that Loder’s expert use of publicly available images to identify and track right-wing extremists has already had legal consequences for some of Kiefer’s allies. “I have a First Amendment right to continue to do my reporting and to tweet about my case.”Īfter Kiefer reported Loder to the police six times in September for continuing to tweet about him, a local prosecutor filed contempt charges that could have sent Loder to jail for defying the restraining order. “I just told my attorney, I refuse,” Loder said. Loder immediately defied the part of the court order that barred them from tweeting about Kiefer. Loder, who is nonbinary, told me in an interview last month that their tech career has given them the resources to hire lawyers to launch a multipronged legal counteroffensive, unlike Kiefer who is representing himself. Kiefer’s success immediately inspired two other far-right activists to ask the court for similar orders against Loder, who responded by filing a counterclaim that accuses Kiefer and his allies of abusing the legal system to shut down a kind of citizen journalism that is protected by the First Amendment. The family court commissioner who evaluated the application approved it, pending a hearing before a judge four weeks later, and issued an unusually broad order that barred Loder from even tweeting about Kiefer in the meantime. ![]() The next day, Kiefer asked for a temporary restraining order against Loder, claiming that Loder’s tweets about him - which document Kiefer’s behavior at public events - were a form of harassment akin to stalking. But on September 2, Loder seemed to strike a nerve by tweeting a detailed thread of visual evidence, gleaned by antifascist researchers from right-wing social media accounts, that appeared to show Kiefer among the rioters at the Capitol in January.Ī screenshot of a tweet from Chad Loder, drawing attention to visual evidence compiled by an antifascist research collective that appeared to show Adam Kiefer at the U.S. Loder has gathered evidence of Kiefer’s bellicose presence at these public events for more than a year. ![]() Loder, 45, is a tech company founder and cybersecurity expert from Los Angeles who posts meticulous, open-source investigations of local right-wing extremists on a Twitter feed with more than 100,000 followers.Īdam Kiefer, right, raised his fists to fight when he and other right-wing activists disrupted a Black Lives Matter protest in San Diego on Aug. ![]() Kiefer, 28, is a trucker from Riverside County, California, who has become a fixture at Proud Boys rallies and thrown punches at far-right protests against vaccine mandates and Black Lives Matter. The legal battle began on September 3 when Adam Kiefer, a far-right activist, obtained a temporary restraining order against Chad Loder, an antifascist researcher who tweeted evidence that Kiefer was at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., during the January 6 riot. For two months now, the animosity between right-wing activists and left-wing antifascists, which regularly leads to violence at street protests, has played out in a setting where physical combat is not allowed: the Los Angeles Superior Court in Torrance, California. ![]() There is all kinds of other gear that will help you to gain entry into off-limit areas or fake IDs just to name a few.

Being a great paparazzi is not about being a great photographer. On court, Mike was winning Dunk Contests, scoring titles, and MVPs. Suddenly, sport, art, and innovation were colliding under the eye of the pole-vaulter-turned-architect. Design duties for Mike’s flagship silo transferred from Peter Moore and Bruce Kilgore to Tinker Hatfield. At the same time, a creative shift was happening within the Air Jordan enterprise. The initial success of She’s Gotta Have It expanded with School Daze in 1988 and exploded with Do the Right Thing in 1989. ![]() In the late ’80s, Lee leaped from rising director to cultural provocateur. Honor aside, the timing couldn’t have been better for Spike or Mike. “So I said Mike, why did you choose me? He said, ‘muthafucka you wearing my shoes!’ I’m here to say, I’m honored Michael Jordan called me a muthafucka.” “He could have easily picked some big-time director people who are giants in that industry, and he chose me,” Lee said. More valuable than money, the nationwide exposure was everything for the young director. For Spike, the initial payout for the first shoot was a cool $50,000 and a day with Michael Jordan. Nike now had cultural credit and an unorthodox spokesperson. “Because of that film, the character Mars Blackmon got hooked up with Michael Jordan, which changed everything for Nike.” “That film introduced the world to Mars Blackmon, the original sneakerhead,” Lee told Boardroom.

The origin item bridging Michael Jordan to Spike Lee is less a pair of sneakers and more a Brooklyn-billed cycling cap. The scorching sneakers stamped with Lee’s legacy character are not often spotted on screen or in the wild. While the iconic OG returned to the masses in the Fall of 2020, Lee’s personal pair in the commercial dates back to 2006: the “Mars Blackmon” Air Jordan 4, inspired by his classic commercials from the late 1980s.įor fans of retro releases tied to Jordan Brand, the split-second share by Spike garnered a double-take.

At the end of the clip, both Lee and co-star Indigo Hubbard-Salk deliver the iconic line while throwing up their own personal pairs: “It’s gotta be da shoes!“ Directing the clip from a seat he’s held before while reprising his role as Mars Blackmon - a character created for his directorial debut, She’s Gotta Have It - the storied creative came through in the clutch to depict Nike’s ongoing legacy from a vantage point all his own.
