In elementary school we had some funky 3d Oregon Trail that was connected to a server.

After the first reports of swearing in-game the entire thing was shut down.

teaching kids about the tough decisions facing local politicians today such as: what position is most popular in regards to flying saucer attacks

every time i feel like playing simcity i start it up, load a new city, and think "this is way too much fucking work" and close the game until next time

I can see it now...

"Everyone, I graded your SimCity projects and everyone pretty much got an A...
... except for Jimmy. Jimmy, you got an F."

"WHAT FOR?!?!"

"Your city suffered twelve mass riots, an economic collapse, two nuclear meltdowns, and... you launched meteors. Twice...
... also, I'm issuing you a referral for a psych analysis. You just aren't cut out for this shit."
