Round 3 of the SimCity beta was last night, and the Senator, his friend and I took full advantage of the opportunity. Launched at 8:00pm EST and ending at 11:00, we quickly setup a region and established our cities. I volunteered my city for the dump, and quickly had dump trucks hauling in all the crap nobody wanted and spreading it out next to my sewage outflow pipes. My hopes for radioactive zombies were dashed when the Senators friend had a zombie outbreak instead (perhaps because I didn't send enough ambulances). As 11:00 approached, I went on a mad spending spree and built an expo center, airport and nuclear power plant. 11:00 came and went and nothing happened, but around 11:30 we got bored and quit anyway. Hopefully the final release is still exciting without the time limit.
