If you can see that, that's about the prettiest they come in the Sims 3. You'll read in most places that they are ugly.. it's no joke.

Meanwhile.. still playing.. I'll try to post up a review by the end of the week.. maybe even with pictures..

What do you call that feeling when you find yourself smiling and content or happy and you think about someone you lost that you want to make happy, share that happy experience with.. and you just stop smiling?

Gamer


I went to the trailers section on the Apple website and found a little gem.

Amber Valletta.. = instant win.


But with Crank, Death Race, that movie with the convicts on that island.. and now Gamer...

Why is it that watching cons get killed.. entertaining? At the end of the day they are still people, wasting their lives in such a destructive way, considering...

Novel

I'm wondering how best to represent a couple of things for my novel.

The theme is racing and I'd like to add some things like Parkour and martial arts.

Do you know of any examples of racing, parkour, or good novels that describe martial arts (combat)?

It's likely to be a steady topic for a while..

I discovered something rad

Radical.. yeah.. something of a departure from the boring everyday duldrum of gaming.. something I've been wanting to try for a LONG time with little hopes of it succeeding.


Context,

I mentioned before that I impulse purchased a 24 inch screen. No pretext whatsoever beyond it's energy efficient compared to the...

Which was the problem.. very few wide LCDs are 'made' to rotate, the clever make them do what they clever need them to do.

I bought a rotating and swiveling bracket for a TV. A wall mount bracket. Screwed it through two pieces of chappeled wood which previously were shelves in a cupboard.

All I have to do it add brackets to the sides of the chappeled shelves (think two playing cards held upright a few inches apart with the tops touching. Once you let go they stand. Once the tops are screwed together by the top screw for the bracket the lot stands.

I just have to counterweight the other side of the chappeled shelves so the whole thing doesn't fall forward.

Previously I just had the 24 inch vertical next to the 42.. which oddly complemented each other very well.

The only problem is that the LCD panel has colour and white issues where you can see a negative image in some parts while patches are ok. This is due to the monitors view angle being crap. So the swiveling spect of the bracket, 15 inches in every direction and 360 rotation REALLY helps with getting a good view angle.

Don't get me wrong a real tilting display would be great but nothing beats swiveling, tilting and rotating. Maybe adding a sensor so it shifted automatically from landscape to portrait... hmmmmmm...

"Ok, so you might ask why?

Why play the sims in 1200x1920 portrait mode? stupid questions aside.. It's actually the way the game should be played. "



Someone needs a new hobby. biggrin

More sims 3..

but first.. adventures in price matching.. or; How Zim gets what Zim wants.

I've got a few harddrives.. being what most people call a geek, which is a light way of putting it, I have a thing that some people call a computer. Which is also putting it lightly.

It's my everything. My little world. My society when plugged into the net....

Thanks, though I don't write anything with the hopes people will waste too much time reading any of it.

Sims 3


I've.. raged at length I guess is the best way to put it about Sims 3 and Spore on my gametrailers blog.


What's imporant to know about this game (which I just figured out yesterday), which managed to tweak my ire even more.. is that appearently it's a prequel.

Now this, Sims 3, and Maxis, are stupid.

The game is well made compared...

I used to be addicted to Sims...but like back in the day of dot matrix printers wink lol

You might like the new one then, it's really a rethink on game play compared to what it used to be.. but the longer I play the more it feels like I'm dealing with people and not sims..

Thanks for your reply!

Cooliris

You know Johny Appleseed? I'm like that with Cooliris. Though I don't use it much, I love to mention it on just about every online community I make landfall.

It's a little applet that rides on your browsers shoudler, swiping links to photos and rpesents them in a nifty 3D wall. It cuts out so much of the time spent pointing and clicking and...

So when I said I'm a bluray enthusiast.. I look at something like the SG Fight Club and picture what that would actually look like if given the treatment.

Your CDGirls would give such a production about an hour or so, with girls possibly smacking each other a bit more than playfully.

I love the lighting, the oiled up chests, the cigarettes and perspective...
