Remember that delightful SNES game Sim CIty? The original "playing god game" (not including Populus), this game allowed one to indulge in taking control of the masses and build up a city and micro-manage all the financial and social intricities of being master and commander. At first, when the population was low, every small gain like a big building, or the people voting you "bestest new mayor" gave you a surge of glee (might have been the elevator music that sounded peculiarily like unused CHICAGO instrumentals). It was at this point that things were manageable. Every button you clicked would have an immediate affect on the direction your creation took. I'm sure sitting up on high our Lord ALmighty was at this stage at one point. Possibly in Mesopotamia or Egypt, he was flourashing. Even up to the Renossiance, he was clearly in control. But in light of recent events, those events being the four hurricanes and now Mount St. Helens, it's clear that God has reached the dreaded "bored as fuck" stage of Sim City. YOu know, that stage when your population gets way too out of hand, and it becomes increasingly apparent you have no control over the goings-on of your people and efforts are fruitless and futile. You then just sit there with one hand on your face slumped down in the chair clicking the "disaster!" icon and watching your populus flee and burn, with a distant gaze and a slight smirk.
THe pertanant question remains, how many volcanoes will it take before Jehova clicks the UFO attack? Or the dreaded "Monster" icon from the original that releases a tirading BOWSER on the peoples of Florida?
Or maybe he'll hit the reset button?
