Sims 3

I'm a perpetually late techy.  When people were getting their iPod Nanos I was still listening to CDs.  When people were getting iPhones, I finally was getting an iPod.  When people were getting iPads I have finally gotten an iPhone.  And of course... I just purchased Sims 3.  Mind, I haven't played any Sims games in over 6 years since I have resorted to playing only Xbox games such as Dragon Age, Oblivion, Mass Effect, Left4Dead, etc.  My sister, who just so happens to be a Sims fanatic, showed me a video she had made while playing the Sims3 game, and so I decided it was well worth a try.  I got it Friday night and unfortunately I work weekends so the only game time I have done so far amounts to around 1 hour.  I had a blast getting to design my little family, outfits and all.  The game seems relatively easy to control as my Sims characters come and go from work to home.  Playing this has reminded me how much I loved playing Sims Busting Out way back when on my PS2.  I'm actually disappointed that I had waited so long to get this game.  Of course I only have my sister to thank for introducing me to the wonderful world of people in Sunset Valley.... and to that I say Thank You!

Even my husband has gotten in the Sims spirit.  Taking it upon himself to mimic a "joke" article in The Onion, he has created a psychological experiment in which a woman is married to one brother and is having an affair with the other brother.  He also enclosed them in their house with no chance of escape or of obtaining food.  After a lengthy endurance trial the "larger" of the two brothers who took it upon himself to eat what little rotten food was left in the fridge, was the only member of the household to survive the experiment and so he rewarded him with the opportunity of leaving the "prison".  It was quite amusing watching my husband chuckle at himself.
