Becca WANTS SIMS 3 DAMMIT.
Forgot to say, I played Sims 3 in Shuk's house last Sunday, and it was GORGEOUS. You could WALK to others' neighbourhood. Like, you could actually see the entire neighbourhood as soon as you entered your home, you could see everything happening outdoors through careful navigation alone! !!!
The customization of the characters were so detailed it took me almost an hour to decide how my character was going to like... until I pressed the RANDOM button by accident. By then, the face I painstakingly sculpted, the clothes I meticulously chose, the personality I punctiliously set was completely RESET and I got this incredibly obese lady with bright blue hair instead.
But it's really fun, personalities are very detailed; Perfectionist, Ambitious, Art-Lover, Slob, Flirt are only amongst the variety of stuff available. You could choose four to make up the core personality of your character. These in turn sets goals for you that once achieved, gains you "happiness" points, in turn allows you to "buy" stuff like a "quick metabolism" or something. The objects sold aren't much though, but the reviews given are fun to read. I wanted to try landscaping but I didn't have the time.
Also, the characters already in the game are really fun. After I accidentally reset my character I played those already in the game, a relatively rich family - of whom earned their money by unscrupulous means; but had a disappointing (at least, to the parents) goody-goody of a daughter...
Realistic, don't you think? A far cry from the Montagues, who I only remembered for the old man who goes around scolding everyone, which results in crying in the scoldee.
I didn't manage to have time to try the children-growing-up process. I remember I found pregnant, vomiting Sims very entertaining. And even new born babies, considering there was the omnious social worker who would always come around once you ignore the crying baby for more than a trillionth of a second. And how they magically grew. Which was amusing indeed.
Killing off Sims (the Montagues) and making their home a graveyard as well, as twisted as it may sound was equally entertaining. Especially when the living playable character encounters ghosts of said victims and got continuously spooked. I never did get my Sim pregnant with an alien, though - something I heard pros were doing, only that they were trying to make an alien-vampire hybird. I spent hours and hours making my Sim look through the telescope, until their logic meter was completely filled; and my Sim never came back with an extra attachment! =.=
So, yeah, missed Sims 2. Miss Sims 3 even more. *sobs*
[EDIT] My dad just found a book from bookcrossing!!!!
It's a book sharing program in which books are randomly left for people to pick up, all in the spirit of sharing books with random people! They're promoting this in MPH, so they're leaving books everywhere for people to just pick up... And the people who pick them up will read them and leave them somewhere else for someone else to find them later on. My dad also got two stickers so that we can pass on books of our own. It doesn't matter whether the books are old or new, either.
And I can't wait to choose something nice...!
I got "Summerland" by Michael Chabon. =D
