Sim City Inside The Sims - Russian Doll Effect?

Posted by simoniker on from the pong-inside-shen-mue-inside-sim-city-inside dept.

Ant writes "According to Wired News: 'It was bound to happen. First there was SimCity. Then there was The Sims. And then came a series of highly successful expansion packs like Hot Date, Livin' Large, House Party and others. Now comes a fan-made plug-in that allows Sims characters to effectively play SimCity inside The Sims. The Sims franchise has gone meta.'"

    Ok... so the Sims sit in their little homes and play Sim City, what if those Sims within the Sims Sim City started developing a plug in to play the Sims? Then those Sims Sim City Sims Sims started playing Sim City after using the Sims Sim City Sims Sims Sims plug-in... then Maxis does a Cybernet and takes over...

    Does that mean the Sims will come out of the computer and start going to people talking gibberish?

    How disconnected from the real world is my life if I have to play a video game whose players I watch play a video game?

    They maybe able to build an interesting Sim plugin, but sure can't build a website!

    Someone needs to teach these people some basic HTML and site design skills. This hurts my eyes almost as bad as the Slashdot Games color scheme!

    Nothing screams "I need to get a life!" more than roleplaying somebody who roleplays somebody else (and thus also needs to get a life).
