Playing God in The Sims 2

Posted by michael on from the you-can-just-screw-up-their-childhood dept.

pgptag writes "From Daily News Tribune: 'If you could play God, would you be kind, cruel or just careless? The answer can reveal itself by the way you play "The Sims 2," the highly anticipated follow-up to the "real life" personal computer game "The Sims," which placed omnipotent players in control of the fates of digital people... What's funny is that we have a genetics feature now (which allows characters who mate to have children who share their looks and aspirations). So you can download some of the celebrities that the players have made, put them in the game and have them have kids.'"

    This is just another evil attempt by Micro$oft to monopolize the industry. Shame on you Bill.

    how do they expect me to buy their game if they don't support my OS?

    Considering your idiotic ramblings, I would think they expect you to buy their game purely through your susceptibility to advertising.

    They should care, because if they don't support our OS, we will soon start an open source alternative. When they ignore the open source community, we always find ways to create better products than theirs. See for example http://www.freeciv.org/ where a couple of opensource programmers created a game which is better than Sim Meier's Civilisation and it's GPL.

    lies!

    I had a conversation once (I'm not sure where) which I mentioned that I drove a durango because I had a large member. And some fool countered by saying some people like to compensate in the other direction and he drives a mini. What man with a ridicilously large member would drive a mini? I can't imagine a real man doing that.

    I suspect he was a female and knew nothing about men.
