I was at a friend's yesterday and he had just installed Sims 3. After some initial hounding from my part ("wtf man, sims? that's for girls!" etc.) I -of course- got dragged into it and started loving it. I think I saw him play/played it for an hour or two in total and I must say it was a complete blast.

The game is just so intuitive, so easy to get to handle, with so many options, customizable things, detail and the scope of the new neighbourhood thingie is pretty amazing. It looked pretty great.

Not saying I see myself spending 50 bucks on it any time soon, but I'm not ruling anything out either.

Apparently it sold 1.4 million copies in its first week too - so much for 'the PC is dead' eh.

Ox? Did you have any special surgeries in Malta? The kind where they remove your man-bits and replace them with cuddly, socializing bits?

lol. Man, I mean it, it's a lot more fun than you'd think. It's an amazingly well designed game for what it is.

Btw: Left 4 Sims

Satis, I don't think YOU of all people should give Ox shit about playing SIMS.

I still swear to this day you bought that sims game for me, so you could play it. Actually you were the only one to really play it if I recall. hmm. Care to retract that previous statement? Or shall I start looking for your man bit removal scars?

Lol, Ox and Satsi are girlies.

Shiny lies. I bought Sims for her. Of course I had to play test it to make sure it functioned properly. Yes.

Lmao. You hypocritical whore. I might acquire Sims this weekend, but I probably should get some productive work in too.

My sims lives... well I have a 'proper' family who are quite rich (decent house plus 50k in the bank) and 5 kids (2 teens, 3 children) but I've pretty much ignored them for a while. Husband is top of the Athletic career, wife is top of Medical.

But my new family is much more fun, far more of a challenge. It's something called the Legacy Challenge (check it out . Basically you make life difficult for yourself at the start, then try to meet challenges to earn points through 10 generations of your family. I'm only on the second generation but it's more fun so far than being rich within the first in-game week.

Yes, I introduced you to the sims - but I played the sims one, and as 'flamboyant' as I got was the livin' it up expansion.

After that, sims 2 didn't apeal and I haven't touched 3.

Bunch of girls.

Just coz it's too complicated for ya
