So if y'all don't hear from me for a few days, it's because I got The Sims 3 yesterday and... yeah. It's pretty excellent. I would tell you all about the shiny new interface and how cool the mood stuff is now and how much fun it is to zoom between Sims in town and in their house and how handy it is to just send a Sim to the store while making the other one shower or something and all of that... but half of you probably don't care, half of you have already played it and thus know, and half of you will just be jealous because you WANT to play it but haven't yet. So I'll spare you.
It's crazy fun though.
Oh and this- I'm kind of surprised by how much I like it. For a long time, I wasn't even sure if I would ever get it, and then when I did decide to get it, I wasn't really expecting huge amounts of goodness. I guess I expected it to be a pain to have to deal with the town so much, and I thought that taking the focus off juggling needs would defeat the purpose of the game. But, thankfully, I was wrong, and it's totally awesome to deal with the town, and easing up the needs makes it more fun to play the Sims' lives. So hooray for that! Now to wait for the inevitable expansion packs so I can have seasons again.

last year i was all about Spore, played it for a week and then totally abandoned the game. i just don't think i'm made for video/computer games.
