Damn, Dave... that looks great. Love those screen shots. I've never been into building up a "world" because, well, I just basically SUCK at them. But, I wish that I had the patience to learn, and really get the basics down, and then, become a pro at it.
Anyway... loved how you have us all as people in the park, and you named rides after all of us. Though, I LOVE yours. Should make me cringe, wouldn't you think, with my back problems and all?

Well, it's an inside joke I pull on myself, as I used to love roller coasters, the bigger and badder the better.
Then at age 26, I hurt my back, ruptured a disk, and had back surgery. Then again at 31 I ruptured another one and had the second back surgery. So any fun stuff is out of the picture for me. Snow ski-ing, roller coasters, etc.
Now, I'm normal, get around fine, etc, I don't feel handicapped, I just can't do the fun stuff I used to enjoy.
So, when I started making roller coasters, I was like man, if I went on that thing, it would put me in the hospital, so I started naming them how I would view them if I had to ride them.
I also enjoying naming them after people I know, with Roller Coaster Game One, I used to have a Larke2000 coaster. If I recall, it was Larke's Vertebrae Imploder.
Ohhhhhhhh, I like that name you used for Larke2000's coaster. You know that I share the back problems with you, and I am someone who can't go on them, ever again. But, having a spinal disease, one shouldn't expect to get to do such fun things in life, unless you want PAIN!!!!
So, on a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being easy and 10 being extremely difficult)... where would you place learning this game, completely? Learning to make and run the whole thing, without problems, etc...

It's very very easy, "if" you download a trainer, which is a cheat program, that allows you to have all the money you want.
The game itself wants you to build an economy, and make money, and then build. I found that silly and frustrating.
If you download the trainer, then it's very simple. It's only as hard as you make it. You just click on stuff to build roads, or build roller coasters.
All the rides are pre done, you just pick one and plop it where you want. You can build your own coasters, and I do sometimes, but it can get tricky.
It's like doing a puzzle, it's not something you just knock out in two hours. You spend a little time on it each day, building and building, putting a tree over here, a wall over there, until you are happy with the result and move on to something else.
Actually, if you are even halfway interested, I just got the 3 pack, the expansion deal with add ons and it had the game in it that I already had, so I have an extra copy of the main game itself that I'm not using. I could mail it to you.
That would be great, David. I think that I would like to try that. Just let me know where to get the "trainer" from, so that I can get that, and have a little, ummmmmmmmmmmmm, assistance to play this without too much hassle.

That works, Dave... thank you, very much. I'm looking forward to trying this game out. Besides, it gives me something new to try and learn while I spend boring hours in this bed. Even if I were to have my surgery within the next few weeks... fusing of ones spine takes a long time to heal.

The post office did not go well. I got a small little package with bubbles, so it fit in your mailbox, I'm figuring you got an apartment mail box,
get it all good and go to the counter, and it's this new york accent lady who is a low talker high talker, I couldn't get into what she was saying,
and somehow, she said Priority mail, I was thinking first class or whatever, she whips out this huge 11x11 things starts cramming my small package in it, I have to put a new address on it, she starts saying, (oh how I wanted to kill this woman) that it will have to be signed for.
I put my foot down on that part, I was getting pissed off, she was turning my simple mail into something with forms and signiatures,
man I still want to slap her.
I said, no, no signing and stuff, so she magicly waved that part.
Anyhow, it's should be there tommorow at noon. I'm hoping your mailman knows to put it at your door or whatever so you don't have to go to the post office.
Then the fregin missing link brings out my moms box she sent, and there is this huge brown spider smashed on the side of it. One of those bugers that I moved away from Florida for.
What kind of postal service just leaves the dead spider smashed on the box the whole trip. They can't scape it off?!?!?
I should have just shut her down, but I kept getting in deeper, signing more stuff, more stickers peeled off, new envelops. I got in over my head, couldn't backtrack.
