I cheat and kill….
I need to tell you something I have not yet shared. You know about my booze problem, sex (or lack of it), relationship stuff, work stuff, kid stuff- sheesh you guys probably know more about me than I do about myself. Yet, here is a deep dark secret:
I love games and I cheat at them.
Not card games and stuff. PC games. I am currently thoroughly addicted to Purple Dot’s Sims 2 game. Before that was Warcraft, Starcraft, Caesar (I can always play those old city simulation games) the list is pretty long. I cheat. I get online and I google a cheat for money, each and every time. What does this say about me?
Not good things I suspect.
The crappest is when I have a game like Age of Empires and find the cheats, to discover I can have flying rainbow hippos that annihilate everything. Then I lose all interest. It is just the money I want. Loads of it.
I do play console games but only if in a pinch. We have an Xbox 360 and every game available, but they just can’t get RPG and adventure games right. Those games suck. You can’t cheat. Then I get all excited because something like Ninety-Nine Nights comes out and it looks so damn sexy. Then I get it in the machine and the monsters are so lame ass you want to scream. I hear Halo 3 will be cool, but I am reserving an opinion here.
Artist gave me the ‘I don’t play games’ talk. Well, we got that Xbox and it was like I was widowed for three weeks. Some racing game. Dinner chat:
Artist: ‘I bought a Ferrari today-’
KC: ‘That’s nice.’
Anyway, back to these pesky Sims- This is the reason I am not online at night much. I am Simulating. I wish I could watch them fuck though, instead of this sad fireworks and toes thing I see in the hottub when they get it on. They are essentially Sim Trust Fund Babies cos I found the money cheat. So all they do is laze about, fuck and play computer games. The female one, I am sure, is having an internet affair cos she loves that email, man!
I have killed a few too. Make them shower and immediately change lightbulbs- *bzzzt*. The best is building them into a fenced garden area and watching them die. Eeek more psychosis than I thought there. Then they haunt your house-.
It’s an old game, but they keep making new builds. Can’t wait for the pet one. I will torture some dogs and see if they get tombstones and ghosts.
I wonder, if I build two into a little fenced off area with no food, will they eat eachother? Sim cannibals? Hmmm….
My Sims are calling-.
Tot siens.
