    Yep. SimCity.

    The ending reminds me of the book “Earth Abides.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Abides

    Great find, Justin.

    Climate Change? No. Nuclear Holocaust? No. Asteroid? No. Jesus’ Return? No. No, humankind will meet there demise when the world is drowned in Grape Nuts.

    Seriously, though, fantastic. Lovely Sound FX.
