Actually, we have a very talented Designer/Writer named Shawn Stone who does all our wordsmithing. He is Master of All Things Text and makes sure that our headlines (and any other information or storytelling that we handle with text) is up to the quality bar of humor and wit that we've all come to expect from Maxis games, and SimCity in particular. I sit near him, we have a blast coming up with ways to document and portray all the crazy experiences that occur when you zoom in and check out the world. Sometimes I'm playing the game and something he's written catches me by surprise, and I find I'm laughing out loud. By now he just glances over at me and I give him that knowing look and a nod of approval, and point to the screen.
