Comparing this game to The Sims is like comparing your 3-year old daughter's doll-house to Civilization. Sure both games have no combat. They also both don't have any penguins. They are still nothing alike.
The game has complex "city"-building, puzzles, trade and politics. And like most MMORPGs the game can be played fiercely competitive or extremely cooperative depending on your preferences.
$13.95 a month may seem like a bit, but you have to compare it to other new MMOs where you have to pay $50 to just get started. At least this game lets you try it for free (there's no charge to download the client and the first 24 hours of playtime are free).

Can someone explain to me why a search for "The Ethical Slut" on Amazon.com gave me a link to The Korn Shell Linux and Unix Programming Manual? :)
Looking at Romero's girlfriend I think you may be on to something. She has appeared in Playboy AND beat him at Quake.
A search on AddAll revealed several bookstores in Europe and Canada that has the book. This link should help: http://www.addall.com/New/submitNew.cgi?location=2 0000&state=AK&dispCurr=USD&type=ISBN&query=0-297-6 4391-6

On a side note - AddAll gave me this quote while doing the search:
"GOD finds himself by creating."
It must be alive.
