"The Sims" is better than real life!

[gyopsy]

After careful study, I conclude that the popular computer game, "The Sims" is most likely a better simulator for life than life itself. Think about it. I can build a house as big as I want (with the help of cheats of course), and I can build relationships with beautiful women that wouldn't touch me with a ten foot pole in real life.

I've been playing the game for several years now, but with the addition of online features and an ever increasing selection of expansion packs, the game has officically eclipsed mother nature.

P.S. I also think "The Simpsons" universe is better than our own.

2. Do you find yourself looking at "real" people as if they were SIMS?

I do. "Hey, he looks like my SIM!" or "Damn, that's a SIM house if there ever was one"

I stop playing but stay in "SIM" mode for long after and people begin to look like SIMS to me.

3. Great Daily Show bit

The Daily Show had a GREAT bit on the Sims online. Though, I gave up on trying to substitute video games for a real life a LONG time ago.


BTW, the Simpsons Universen is a social experimental laboratory. Very little EVER changes in the Simpsons universe. Springfield reverts to it's original state after EVERY episode. The only artifacts seem to be some residual knowledge of "other episodes" and occasional character deaths (Maud, Bleeding Gums Murphy).

5. I saw that

Great Daily Show bit. They've always got great stuff on there.

Maybe the "never changes" thing is the reason why the Simpsons universe is so appealing. That family has been through hell and yet everything is still fine. Also, Homer would've died 100 times over in our world.

4. Actually, you can do the same thing in real life...

if you're willing to use 'cheats'. :-)

6. Have any of these "Sims" had sex with John Kerry

And if so, could you provide me with some rudimentary hearsay regarding it?

Thanks in advance,
