The Sims Survivor

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!)"

Well.

I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my life. I don't have NEARLY this much time on my hands. And I'm unemployed. And have no friends.....

These guys must *really* love the Sims.

I had a friend on IRC that started using names of people she knew from the channel we visited. She'd give me daily gossip updates on what was happening. (The character named after me was the one that got all the chicks, so naturally I was intrigued.)

I haveta admit, that was the most interesting convo I had on IRC in ages. It sure beat the hell out of "HI ARE YOU A WOMAN?".

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.

I love The Sims!

...and who will be the first character to wake up on a flaming couch in a room not big enough to turn around in that has been constructed sans doors or windows?

Yes, I love The Sims!

I used to

When I used to play Sims, I'd have 2 girls and 1 guy living in the same house. One girl would always stay in the house. The other girl had a day job, and the guy had a night job. During the day I'd make the guy and girl have sex, and at night I'd make the two girls do it. On the weekends, they'd get jealous and fight because they'd see each other getting it on.

Now THAT would make some great TV.

Oh yeah, HBO is so great. I know so many people who swear by that puke fest of a show, Sex in the City. Here's a sample scene for those of you that haven't had the pleasure of watching it:

Girl 1: I love cock!
Girl 2: Really!? What a coincidence, I love cock!
Girl 1: I had cock on the way here..twice!
Girl 3: Quit talking about cock, you're making me want cock.
Girl 4: We're such strong, powerful women!
All: Agreed!

This is harder than it "sims".

If you took "Six Feet Under" (cool) and crossed it with Junkyard Wars (cool), you get what? Undertakers who take pieces from several corpses and create something new. Ah! Frankenstein! It's been done. :-)

instead you live your life on the Internet talking about /. related things to other people who are interested in /. related items.

It's a living soap opera led by Tim, Katz, and Rob.

We hate MS, Billy has gone and done it again, owning himself by allowing Windows to be taken over by Shatter.

OMFG, the world is coming to and end, Linux didn't make it as a desktop OS.
