Everquest makes you sad, The Sims make me sick!!

Frodo301 · Jun 26, 2002, 01:37 AM

I've come to the conclusion that the Sims are a deadly nerve agent. I am also sure it is coded and distributed by rogue governments to civilized countries to turn the people playing them into drooling zombies whose claim to life is making sure Lori learns how to cook so she will not burn the house down. I despise, hate and loathe the very beast that is the Sims. Take my wife for example. She gets into marathon playing matches with the satanic beast that is the Sims. Hours turn into days, days turn into weeks, house goes to hell, kids revolt and turn into nasty little gremlins; in other words the worst environment possible. Surroundings that would make any Sim set off fireworks in the house and burn themselves alive to get away the hell that they are living in. Little does she know that I sneak to her computer and go into her games. Then I starve, kill and maim the bastards until they die or are so low on necessities that they refuse to do anything. Thank god I'm not like that with games. By the way, must play Morrowwind. Cannot stop playing that game.....drool....slurp.....ackk

I expected a little more input on this. I guess there are many gamers in the closet concerning playing The Sims

. In regards to rabid behavior games and the inability to put one down, I wonder how often we seem the same way to our spouse/girlfriend with the games we play?

Pah, I bet they aint got a patch on Little Computer People. Oh the joy of one little w@nker in glorious 16 colour 320x240 "high res" (or was it multi colour mode) display, obstinately refusing to do anything else in his little dolls house other than kick the cat.

Now for a real come back back.... Freecell. entire weekends disappear thanks to that game

Solitaire is also responsible for a lot of wasted work hours + free time.

Desktop internet access @ work has proven to cost industry billions of wasted pounds every year.

I'll shutup now in case the boss sees this

It's useful for relieving stress.

Step 1: Build house. Make lots of small closet-like rooms.
Step 2: Lead sims into small closet-like rooms.
Step 3: Pause game, remove entry to rooms. Make solid.
Step 4: Unpause game. Watch as sims pee on selves, sleep in their own feces, and ultimately die of starvation.
Step 5: Get new sims. Repeat until you feel better.
