Wow, Chris, that sounds great. You've totally won me over. I think I'm gonna go out and buy this game right now. You make it sound totally awesome. Seriously though... I don't know much about this game, but I take it that the movie of the same name is based on the game? If so (I realize this is slightly off topic), it would be kind of neat to finally have a film adaption of a game that's actually pretty good. Or at least, it is from what I've heard. I'm definitely interested in the game now. Anybody recommend any good reviews, etc for it?

You know, if you want, you can even make posts that contain nothing other than a , or maybe even just the lyrics of an entire song. You can even mispell 'fuck' with two o's without looking dumb. Why? Because this is your thread, and pretty much nobody else will ever read it. Or maybe they will, but they'll think their monitor is broken because they keep reading the same two posts over and over again. Genius!

I totally already have a bunch of Monkey Island Beermats. AND an Idle Thumbs business card. And I want more, MORE.

Just before Christmas, I decided to move out and get my own apartment in town. My Mom has no problem with this, because it's simply to be closer to work and school, but my father does. He thought it would be an excellent idea, if I wanted to leave home, to move in with him. At first, he called up my Mom and told her that I couldn't leave home until I was over 18. "She is over 18," my Mom replied smoothly. There was this stunned silence, and he said, "Oh," and hung up. Then, he called up again a few days later with another reason. "I was watching this show on Sky 1," he began. Sky 1 is the UK version of Fox, I guess. He continued, "and it was about these Teenage Girls that used sex as a replacement for the father figure they never had. I don't think you should let her move out." That sort of worried me. Not because he was watching cheap late night porn on sleazy channels, but because I wasn't previously aware that it was normal for teenage girls to have a sexual relationship with their father. How does sex fill in for a father figure? And then it got me thinking, because my psychologist told me last week that the reason I look up to Tim Schafer so much isn't because he's an awesome game designer, but because I look at him like a Father. Does this mean I want to have sex with Tim Schafer? I'm not sure. I mean, when you think about it, it all makes sense. Just like a real father, he makes fun of me, lives elsewhere, has a three letter christian name and sends the occasional card. I wrote all my feelings to my Psychologist in a long and emotional letter, asking her if this made Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman my uncles, and also expressed my concerns over the prospect of having intimate relations with a fatherly figure such as Tim. She sent back a number to contact an anonymous helpline and cancelled any further bookings with me. That really depressed me, and now I'm not sure if I want to be his daughter, marry him, or kill him, especially since I've just been playing San Andreas. Or maybe I could do all three, and have some sort of sexy incestuous murder scene like from some crap TV movie that they play so late at night that it's the next day already. I'd ask my Psychologist, but she dumped me. Which is crap because now I don't know what to say to Tim when I turn up on his doorstep next weekend.

Ha ha ha, Deadworm an expert on Doppelgangers, ha ha ha.

Yeah, hang on, I'll transfer your call to a Technician.

Out of interest, what part were you saying 'yes' to, exactly?

Man, that was one thread and it was carefully planned and written in humour. It is a lot different from having every second post contain some retarded, redundant, immature sexual reference followed by an equally retarded and redundant emoticon.

Oh for fucks sake, can't you just open another thread dedicated to crap like that? And make it sticky? hahaha man that is so funny. Back on topic, many of my female friends are gamers, and many of them are Anti-Sims. And not just because they don't like it, but because they feel that liking it would be letting down the female gamers side. There are definitely more and more girls getting into games. And females more often look for a story and real characters in games than guys do. I cannot describe the joy I felt yesterday when myself and two other girls were searching the xbox section for a good game (any genre as long as it had a good story and gameplay and characters), and we overheard Dave and Gramo talking about how cool Call of Duty is, because you can see the exit wounds. We felt so much better than them. Still, I have no idea why girls enjoy The Sims. I guess maybe they enjoy it on the same level as I used to enjoy Pizza Tycoon. Although I never used to make pizzas, I just did Mafia Jobs. Hmm. I guess it takes a certain type of personality to play a game like The Sims, and it's not the sort of personality that 'real' gamers tend to have. Or something. Did that make sense? It's also harder to be socially acceptable among a group of females if you're a gamer, than it is for a group of guys. I haven't slept in two days so I'm not making a lot of sense, but you probably catch my drift.

Dear Deadworm, Exactly what kind of a post is that? What was the point? I don't get it.

No it's not. OMG THAT IS SO SEXUAL. The sex 'jokes' are not really jokes, as much as they are completely random, childish references to sex. They're old and no longer funny. I tire of them, like I tire of tofurkey at Christmas. Jesus Christ, I think the wind is about to take the friggin' roof off.

What?

I'm Jake. I'm an incredibly nice person.

DOPPELGANGER!!!!

I'm mimicking people randomly because I can't sleep. --Yufster

For Fooks Sake, blah blah blah blah blah sex blah blah!!!

In my ideal world, there would be no suffering, everybody would be equal and happiness would roam free across the skies like a rainbow of joy. Tim Schafer would be god, Grim Fandango the bible. Cookies would not have crunchy edges, and it would be possible to marry and have intimate relations with video games. Wedding bands would be designed to fit around jewel cases. I love peace, rainbows and puppies.

Fie, sir, fie!!!! I hate it when people say that does it. It sounds so Middle-Aged-Woman, blazé, blah blah blah. I want to cut your balls off with a blunt motherfucking pocket knife. Blah blah blah blah blah whine whine blah.

Fooking hell, wormsie, what's going on here? Like I care anyway. LET'S HAVE SEX.

That's IT!!! I quit these stupid forums again!!! But this time, for real!!!

The only reason I posted it was because it was clearly a fake.

Hmmmm?

Oh, by the way, LIAR.

Basically, I only said I was quiting for dramatic effect, and for attention.
