You all knew this was going to happen, right?

You've seen my reviews of Roller Coaster Tycoon and the Conan MMOPRG.

You saw that I'd been playing Sim 2.

You knew what was coming next.

Let me tell you the story of Sammy Slan.
Sammy Slan, Friend of Every Sim )

Um, just to explain, I walled in the party guests in tiny rooms without toilets or chairs. And left them there for several days until they were passing out at random and really needed showers. Then I let them out. I've not starved anyone to death... yet. I added the glass panels so you could see them in their little niches.

I think I dislike this game. Seriously, most of my fun in games comes from finding interesting ways to do pointless or dangerous things outside of the intended playspace. That's the whole point of Sims 2. The entire game is one big sandbox where you can do almost anything... but the only fun things to do are hit other kids in the head with your shovel.

For me, it's sort of like the video game equivalent of that Twilight Zone episode. Sims 2 is A Night Place to Visit, but I think I prefer the honest sadism of a first person shooter.

Something for different kinds of creative people this time! And remember, you can let others interested to here and they can post a reply without needing an account, or else you can request it in their name.

Acrylic and oil paints, craft project, model kits )

Soon I'll also give away all MY art supplies - tons if different pencils, crayons, pastel waxes and what-have-you. If I haven't used them in 20 years, I'm not going to start now.

Short notice on this one, but I finished finally clearing and cleaning these. If not claimed, Saturday all remaining computer equipment will go to the recyclers.

Classes. DONE.

Meetings. DONE.

All I have to do now is an hour at the desk, then go to the symphony with [info]yaypatrol!

Life is much less stressful now than it was four days ago, and I'm looking forward to the weekend.

Talking about Eberron with [info]kores_rabbit. It's supposedly film noir, making me think I should run my Sydney Greenstreetesque Cleric.

But...it's 4th edition!

And that led to this:

You must remember this
Efreet are still Efreet
A Slaad is still a Slaad!
And Elemental planes apply
As time goes by. ...


And then I get stuck until:

It's still the same old story
A fight for gold and glory
A case of do or die.
The game will always welcome hackslashers
As time goes by...

"...I don't think this is the secret Imperial prison."

[info]commanderteddog did this art of her character (in the background) and [info]nottheterritory's character, who crawled through air ducts on a space station to find the "secret Imperial prison." It was actually an abandoned Motel 6. (In space.)
