1) Wake up at 11am
2) Poke around on the Interwebs. Find, and purchase Sim City 2000 (Special Edition) for $2.99 from Good Old Games as part of a 50% off sale.
3) Download and install. Accidentally title city "New City."
4) Proceed to develop highly efficient over a 20-year period, which features all services, the lowest crime rate in existence and booming demand for residential, commercial and industrial space.
5) Reflect on the wonder of living in a city with low taxes, effective services and no external debt.
6) Swap out pollutive coal power plant for much more efficient Nuclear Power Plant, after de-selecting the "Nuclear Free Zone" policy.
7) Earthquake hits New City, which triggers a fire. Naturally, the fire destroys the Nuclear Power Plant. Nuclear Fallout hits the entire city and causes widespread fires.
8) Try in vain to save the entire city on the measly $5,000 I had saved up.
9) Muse at the wisdom of Sim City's insurance not to underwrite a City which is frequently hit by earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, monster attacks, fires, riots and hurricanes.
