City Life is the name of a computer game made by Monte Cristo, to be more exact, it is the name of the only computer game I have wanted to play in the past several years.

I have way too much time on my hands since the breakup with my significant other in February, so it is only nice to be able to have something to spend time on. As it is a windows game though, I have pretty much stolen my little brother's computer for it, which doesn't really bother him too much as he is currently attending a soccer tournament away this week.

But back to City Life, I was first made aware of it by one of my acquaintaneces here in Ã…lesund and we actually played it for pretty much a full nigh.

City Life is in the same genre as Sim City, one of my favorite games of all time, at least prior to version 4 which in my opinion was a step in the completely wrong direction.

IGN has a review and snapshots

I do however have some issues getting it to work on my brother's computer due to the Intel Graphical Processing Unit. I'm not the only one though, as found in this forum post.

I got one of my ideas yesterday, I can be quitie spontanious when it comes to them at times. Anyways, I figured I would suprise my mother by showing up for her birthday, so I drove up to Ã…lesund and plan to stay here for a week or so, meeting up with old friends and acquaintances, probably hitting the town a couple of times.

Okay, for some reason my Sony Ericsson T610 has decided on acting up. I'm even unable to enter the PIN to log in, as the keyboard seems to be completely messed up.

For some reason I think it is water-related, maybe I've written one too many text-messages while just getting out of the shower, maybe I have managed to spill water on it otherwise. My technical instinct says water anyways.

Of course Kenneth is happy about this, as he sells cellphones.

I don't use anything but a cellphone, and I never will again probably, there is no use mixing a landline and a cell. But in a situation like this I'm glad I have multiple cellphones. I ordinarily keep the other one, a Nokia with a twin SIM, in the car for the handsfree, but seems like I will be using it for backup at least for the rest of the day untill the stores opens tomorrow. Who knows, maybe the other one works by then, I haven't had problems with it before, so it could be temporary. But then again it has become some years by now.

Update
A little time and some re-charging of the phone and it started working again.
