Released in 1994, as a sequel to SimCity (1989), SimCity 2000 was the second in a now long line of SimCity games. It is an open-ended city-building game. It takes the strategy of simulation games and mixes in a dash of building with LEGOs, which if you think about it, is the perfect storm for a video game.

The Fallen Empires set was unique. It was the first set to really introduce the concept of “Tribal” cards, although back in 1994 they were just called what they were; Dwarves, Elves, Goblins, Homarids, Merfolk, Orcs, Thallids, Thrulls, or Townsfolk. That’s not to say that you needed to build a Tribal deck. A lot of the cards within the set are valuable in combination with other cards and some just on their own.

Romance is in every thread of media. It’s another motivation for beating the bad guy, but in many instances overcoming differences to be together is much greater than any enemy. Circumstances usually dictate that in order to be with the one you love, you must overcome great obstacles, some self-made and others environmental or circumstantial.

This is because most American sports fans look at February as a pause between the National Football League’s Super Bowl and Major League Baseball with a stopover in College Basketball for March Madness.

Almost two years ago, I wrote a post titled “Twinkie and the Hostess” where I lamented the loss of the Twinkie. Well, two years later, the Twinkie is back from the dead and I feel it’s time to revisit how Twinkie’s resurrection took place. It’s quite the capitalistic underdog story dubbed, “The Sweetest Comeback in the History of Ever.”
The savior of the Twinkie is, the new owner and chief executive of new Hostess Brands, C. Dean Metropoulos. He’s done this before, turning struggling brands around, with Chef Boyardee and Bumble Bee tuna.
