Sims 2: University Announced

Voodoo Extreme has the news that the first expansion for the Sims 2 has been announced. Sims 2: University will allow young adult sims to experience all the joys of college life. "Sims can choose from one of 11 majors and by keeping their grades on track, they'll secure a final degree and open up 4 new career paths. Players will enjoy all-new college based wants and fears that are tied to their Sims' social life and academic goals which will lead to new rewards and powers that will help them achieve their goals and aspirations in college and beyond." Ahh...but will there be LAN parties?

Um, why would "we" "jump at the opportunity" for things like that? If "we" really wanted to, we would have done them in real life, yes?

I have a couple regrets about college, but I certainly do not regret staying as far away from frats as possible.

Hmm....real classes?

It would interesting if this was extended to create an actual online university, where you'd actually have to learn the stuff to progress your character. Edutainment back from the dead!

OK, take my damn geek card. Talking about a video game where you get to do these things instead of trying to it ourselves is where I get off the geek train.

Sims 2 Expansion Packs

So, do you get to slowly pay down the $40,000 in student loans over the next 30 years of your Sim's life? Also, when do we get The Sims 2: Midlife Crisis and The Sims 2: The Retirement Years (but you can't really retire because your employer just went bankrupt and took your 401(k) with them)? No, I'm not middle-aged, but I think it's funny that EA is convincing millions of people that managing someone else's life is more fulfilling than managing their own.
