Page views, that is ... at least according to Blogger (and hardly any of them are mine). 

That candy pink stuff pack has been released but I can't say I've been interested enough to even check out the official forums for what people think of it now it's really here.  Though I have been keeping an eye on the update issues thread so I know what to expect from the game update.  Think I'll wait until I feel like playing Sims 3 again.  Gotta love the way the update notes made it sound like the game just needed a few tweaks around the edges!

I'm not much of a Radiohead fan but I've had an irresistible urge all week to hum that song of theirs ... Drama Police I think it is.  Or maybe I'm thinking of that Culture Club one that goes ... Drama Drama Drama Chameleon, you come and go ... 

Until today that is and then it was Bananarama's Venus ... in honour of the transit. Finally something fast paced and interesting happening in a live feed! 

May it Be

Where did April go?  And most of May too?  This has been sitting as a draft post for way too long now ... let's just get it over with!

Well, I think the big Sims thing I missed commenting on was the announcement of The Sims 3 Diesel Stuff Pack.  It's coming out in July, just after that other candy flavoured fluff is being excreted released.  Doesn't look too bad but nothing spectacular (and I already have plenty of similar clothes).  Bad news for anyone looking for cool clothes for their elders ... the oldies miss out once again.

I've had a lot of visitors looking for info on Sims Medieval (it's finally overtaken KP as most popular post) ... anyway, sorry, can't help you at the moment as I'm still making my way through Skyrim.  If it's Medieval you're after then maybe you can make do with a few screenshots from my first game in Dragon Age Origins (bought it ages ago but just got around to playing it).

And a random screenshot from Skyrim ...

And now to end on a really random note ... thanks to Red Scharlach, who can watch everyone's cute furry mammal without thinking of everyone's favourite Sherlock Holmes, Benedict Cumberbatch? Otterly hilarious! 

Fools

Nice joke EA ... but you're a few days late with the April Fools prank!  Seriously, we didn't need the cupcake bra with strawberry nipples.  Serves us right for joking about it, I guess.  Wait, is this a choc chip cookie  on her head?

Anyway, thank you for bringing us die-hard KP fans with no sense of humour.  Killing off Sims in interesting ways has been light entertainment since the game started.  But suddenly speculating on the forums about how you might kill off a  KP Sim amounts to a death threat.  Methinks some people just loves the draaaaama (yawn).   BTW should she ever find her way into my game then it will be death by cow plant I promise. 

And congratulations EA on being awarded "Worst Company in America" and for your humility in response.  Just the kind of thing that shows why you won it in the first place.  I didn't vote in the poll but I'm voting with my wallet since it's probably the only feedback you understand.
