More Info
  • I moved the Gravitron ride and talked a little bit about it. 
  • When placing a statue in the park, I talked about some of the large Civil War memorials we encountered in New England.
  • While talking about the trials and tribulations of getting the right decorations and textures, I mentioned the Federalist style.
  • After finishing some research on decorations… I discovered that the content from the Dinos & Dynasties DLC is really top notch.
  • I used the English idiom about the “proof of the pudding…“.
  • While talking about how investors and industries work to eventually stomp out innovation and quality in favor of predictability.  I mentioned that this same topic is coming up more and more frequently in coverage of the video game industry, including this one from Bellular News.
  • I mentioned the court house in Hill Valley in the Back to the Future franchise.
