Writing my Blog While Playing the Sims While My Sim Writes a Blog.

So, I got into Sims Social

It's the first Facebook game that I've really even played for longer then... a day.

It started off that my girlfriend was playing it. And as much as I love her, I resisted joining her. I was a HUGE fan of the Sims. My love started back when it first came out. It was the first game I downloaded, but I liked it so much I went out and bought it and every expansion that ever came out. Really. I was playing this thing until 5 am. I remember my mother coming in on me (at the time we only had one computer and it was in the living room) and asked what am I doing up so late? I looked outside at the rising sun and said "It's not late, it's really early."

What I really loved was when the next Sim City game came out (Sim City 3000?) it allowed you to import your sims into the city. I'm a huge (read: HUGE!) Sim City fan and being able to really do both games was really nice.

Then came the Sims 2 and the screenshots looked great. But playing it was weird. Something about the game felt off and  I could not get into it as much as I did with The Sims. I'm not sure if it was the camera angle or the fact that it didn't have any preset camera positions or that I was just growing out of the game. I don't remember if I found MMO's that year but that could also add into it.

My house in The Sims Social

So fast forward to now, and I'm playing the Sims yet again. How did this happen? Easy, my roommate started playing it one day when the EverQuest servers were down and I happened to be watching him. I suddenly though of my time playing the original Sims and wanted to join in. I couldn't help it and I went to my Facebook and started playing. Sure it's a lot different then the 'real' game but I'm enjoying it. I wish more people I knew were playing it though. I also wish there was a way I could find other people who played it that weren't my friends so I could add them. But hey, it's something I can play while I'm role playing on City of Heroes or waiting for a new mission. I can jump in, do things and jump out and not feel like I'm missing out on much.

So yeah, the title of this blog entery is all I really wanted to say. But here we are. I start work again tomorrow and I hope that I don't have any weird breaks like I did. (One week on, one week off)

Until next time. Oh, and if you DO have the Sims Social, my Facebook link is right up there. I could use some Muses, and plans!
