im posting a new entry only because some HS sophomore here wont let me use the ps2





god, gurls always find things to talk about, even if theyre strangers to one another, ive somehow noticed

one of those things must be, hands-down, about the technological plague called Sims



right now, my sister is willingly blinding herself in front of the TV just to pick the purrfect angle by which the doghouse could be placed

yes, shes more than just heard of Sims Pets, and im not happy



ive already known of the availability of that game since last month pa- i being a 3rd-level inhabitant of Quiapo

actually, my sis had asked me to keep my eyes open for that latest sequel since about september, and iofcourse enjoyed playing the yes-yes-my-dear-sister-i-will-^^ role

and yes, ihad no intention of buying her one, simply because iknew how dangerous Sims-es can be once the staring dance they promote commences

[nope, im not admitting myself as a victim. you see, that one time when iplayed Sims2 for the entire chicken-poxed sembreak, iwas naturally bored and had nothing else to tamper with. nope, was not a Sims addict, am not, and will never be X) ]

so surprised iwas when iwas routinely sifting through the ps2 shelf this morning and saw...

t-this....

this....


cd case, bright and jolly, with the words SIMS and PETS mutually brightening each other up



it dawned on me finally:
it was not just SIMS2 that my sister had been playing since before iwoke up



so thats why there suddenly are furry little boogers running all over her house in the TV!

and why she keeps on saying:
"wow, ang ganda tlaga nito grabeeeee"
over and over and over again


iforgot that those were the same words she used when she first played SIMS2. damnit




infairness to the SIMS franchise, they always come up with fantastic OSTs. my sis took about ninety minutes dressing her party people up and iwasnt at all irritated with the long, repetitive noises that came from the tv


that may be, of course, because the game is fairly new to my senses. but even so, it was nice and icommend Maxis for that


i do not, however, for their ability to repackage some gaming cliches and still make it shabu-effective


grr.



do you think Maxis will try the survival-horror genre if i e-mailed them?
