Well I have made a recent discovery (one that probably everyone else made ages ago) that i am an addict...of Sims 3. the first thing i do when i switch on my laptop is open Sims via a little icon (right next to the Start button) on the taskbar. while i (attempt to) complete homework, i am constantly alt tabbing my way back to the mindless virtual reality. this is not good...not good at all.
but discussing the merits of a good computer game, Sims is well and truly mindless. For example, when throwing out fresh food, your Sim gets a negative moodlet for wasting good food. however, if another Sim dies at YOUR party (YES DIE), the Sim feels nothing and after mourning (for about 10 Sim minutes), it was right back partying, followed by the phone ringing saying blah blah has passed away...NO S***, she died in my house dumbass, as if i wouldn't notice.
the dying process in the Sim world is also quite disturbing. your Sim turns transparent, begins to float. then the grim reaper enters your house (don't ring the doorbell then...) with his whole entourage of smoke (faulty smoke alarm aye?!) then stands (floats) there for a bit, the floats on out, taking the Sim ghost with him. 5 4 3 2 1...life continues.
and just for fun the other day, i took two complete strangers and timed how long it took them to get married...TWO sim HOURS, (two minutes according to my mate, if you use cheats)
so to round up, the life of a sim is pretty easy (according to both meanings...) You're born, you live, you get married in minimum two minutes, you die a creepy death. your life is mapped out in the papers
Oh to be a Sim

It’s the 40 Hour Famine.
27 – 29 May 2011
This year, we’re asking Kiwis to help raise $3.15 million in the 40 Hour Famine to feed thousands of hungry children and families around the world. It’s a big goal, but together we can do it. Thanks heaps!
The cause
Almost a billion people in the world are hungry. This year, we have a specific focus on East Timor, one of New Zealand’s closest neighbours in the Asia-Pacific region. Half of all young children over there are malnourished. One of these children is 7-year-old Lily. Read Lily’s story here.
Guys it’s for a really good cause! I’m going 40hours being deaf. Every little bit counts! Even if it’s only a dollar or even 50c. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
Here’s me hoping to guilt trip y’all into donating money for kids in East Timor that are pretty much on the brink of dying. SO CLICK THE LINK AND DONATE! As you can see, this is legit stuff, so I’m not scamming you or anything.
