The Sims Survivor

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the battle-to-the-finale dept.

Bobby writes "Two great pop culture tastes that taste great together -- the TV show Survivor and the computer game Sims. The premise: eight virtual people trapped in a virtual house with limited resources. Instead of winning contests and voting people off, the characters are subjected to the whims of the Sims game -- but you'll still find the requisite scheming and sexual intrigue. Things really heat up in episode four, a robbery spoils the group's fun in a subsequent chapter, and catfights often liven up the action. Who will be the ultimate Sims Survivor? (Quote From Yahoo!)"

    Oh yeah, HBO is so great. I know so many people who swear by that puke fest of a show, Sex in the City.

    You mean people watch Sex in the City? Huh. No, I suggest HBO for the real quality stuff, like Sopranos and Six Feet Under, and the occasional mini-series (Band of Brothers was awesome). Right, so you're saying, "Pay for HBO? Just for a Sunday night line-up? What am I going to watch the rest of the week?" Not a problem. That goes to the rest of my post -- get out of the house! Or read a book (I'm reading A Secret Histroy, the first volume in the book of Ash). Hell, if you have to be geeky, go write some code. Point being, there's a ton of better things to do than watch TV (yeah, like I'm one to talk, considering what I've spent on my entertainment center. but until AT&T Broadband starts broadcasting HD content, it's pretty much a waste as far as TV goes. Much better for DVDs and my HTPC).

    I'd like to point out that Sims Survivor is played by setting up a house with 8 sims and then letting it run without human interaction on the sims part... so if you've got a few PCs and use the 'infinite money' house trick it really only takes a few hours (total) of actual human effort to do.
    I also understand your feeling left out on 'having enough time.' I've been unemployed a while too, and I've had to ration the time I spend at my PC or else nothing gets done.
