4 Screenshots Added to Gallery

[ManagerJosh]

We've added 4 new screenshots to the gallery. For the most part, they look all brand new. I might be wrong :D. Two shots focus on the Cyberpunk Culture set while the remaining two focuses on the Asian Culture (if I may comment, they look REALLY detailed).

Personally, I'm not too keen on the cyberpunk pictures.. I like the asien ones much more. That warm, orange sky is so pretty and it beats the murky grey in the other shots by far. You're right, Josh, they do look really detailed, all of them. But I like the country side more than the run down city pics. :)

What are those things on the pavement with steam coming out of them?

[ManagerJosh]

I wonder if it is steam from Manholes.

[Inge_Jones]

Steam from manholes? I've never seen steam coming from a manhole myself - where do you live?

Well why is that happening? That's weird.

[Mirelly]

LOL, Inge. Where've you been living?

I live in a borough of London. Peter works right in the city and I asked him and he's never seen steam coming out of holes in the road or pavement either! He says "maybe they have a strange sewage system in America"

[Mirelly]

LOL Nope, just municipal steam heating heating systems.

[Inge_Jones]

Oh I see. Our manholes are just places to unblock our sewers. Do you have those type as well? We also have small gratings in the edges of the road to drain rainwater, and some metal covers to lift to gain access to telephone cables and some for water supplies. These are all seperate things for us and look differerent. I don't believe we provide municipal steam, although there are some estates (and that is basically just a group of apartment blocks on one lot) that have a central heating supply, which is piped around as hot water. The pipes would not cross any main roads to other parts of the locality.

I'm a Brit, Inge ... I get my Yankland detail from teh intarweb :p

[Inge_Jones]

Maybe some US resident can tell me what they have in their street, anyway.

[ManagerJosh]

I think it has to do something with the sewage water being warmer than when the temperature is above ground and thereby creating steam.

[Inge_Jones]

Then ours would steam too. Unless New Yorkers just have hotter showers than Brits :D
