Out to Lunch

It’s Piaras Revalin!!!

Hehe! Whenever I read Piaras’s name, I always think of him as looking like that… dunno why. He’s cute though Yum yum

Ha ha!! Ms Barrows has returned to FA status at TSR. This means her stuff will (eventually) end up in the booty. This is good news for me! I was contemplating re-registering to get my mitts on her stuff, but it looks like I won’t have to any more

Muahahahahaha!

Also, I took a quick peek at the price increase thread (www.thesimsresource.com/news.php?ID=2710). Oh what a little gem!

I couldn’t resist the cheap jibe, sorry. But really! These sheep continue to astound me with their sheepiness every day. What a real treasure! Good to know that some still have more than one brain cell to rub together though

Ah, maybe you can see where this is going now

The Elemita family, before the fall…

We know who dyed her hair pink, but who’s the mysterious stranger..?

Un livre à lire à tous les âges de la vie, surtout lorsqu’on se sent perdu, ou quand on croit qu’on a des problèmes insurmontables…

Et la vie n’a rien de terrible, d’alienant ou de decevant. Il suffit de tout voir avec l’âme d’un enfant comme Le Petit Prince. Et de la vivre, cette vie, en suivant son cœur.

Uh oh, I think it might be flashback time

Yes, that did say Sims 2!

All I can say about this is, WHAT A SCAM! I didn’t play the first Sims game, I remember wanting it when it first came out, but not enough to actually buy it. But I do feel really sorry for those who saw this official TS2 trailer and thought: WOW! Sims 2 is gonna be great.

That is an absolute swizz. NOTHING in that video is genuine TS2 footage, the game is NOTHING like anything in that video. Sims don’t swing on ceiling fans, kids don’t set fire to carpets, none of the clothes, furniture, nothing really at all in that video is available in the actual game. What did I say about EA earlier? That they are a joke.

You can be sure that any official trailers for TS3 will likewise be pure fiction (or at the very least a very sugar-coated version of the truth). EA, like T$R, don’t care about their paying customers. Just about hoodwinking you into handing over your precious money.

And no, I won’t be buying TS3 either. And not just because my CCLOCIC can’t handle it.

by Alexander McCall Smith

‘You see,’ said Mma Ramotswe, casting a glance at the attentive attorney, ‘there are some people in this country, some men, who think that women are soft and can be twisted this way and that. Well I’m not. I can tell you, if you are interested, that I killed a cobra, a big one, on my way here this afternoon.’

‘I cut it in two,’ said Mma Ramotswe. ‘Two pieces.’

Precious Ramotswe is Botswana’s first ever lady private detective, and owner of The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. Armed with a sharp and inquisitive mind, her friend Mr J. L. B. Matekoni, and a good dose of humour, Mma Ramotswe is called upon to unravel various mysteries - disappearing husbands, rebellious daughters and stolen cars.

Until one day she is contacted by the father of a missing child, a young boy feared to have been taken for witchcraft and things start to get a little more serious.

This book is a real gem, and the characters and settings are very much different to others in crime fiction, making this a very refreshing read. The author’s observational humour adds to the enjoyment, as does Mma Ramotswe’s fiery, no-nonsense attitude. I would recommend this and I’m very much looking forward to the rest of the series.

Couldn’t resist posting this…

By the way, she is also the Artist Manager

A lil something from PMBD. Check it out!

TheSimsResource.info

or the Clash of the Boyfriends (Saffron’s boyfriends, that is)

With our host, Ms Jasmine Elemita, Pirate Apprentice

Uh oh, the ex and current boyfriend seem to be having a disagreement.

KAPOW! But Jasmine doesn’t seem bothered at all.

‘Let’s take this one out back, buddy.’
‘Don’t call me “buddy”!’
DOH!

Johnny Bravo seems to be getting the worst of it, but overcomes poor lil Joe Milano in the end

Jasmine decides to step in. ‘Right, that’s it, buddy. Mess with my pal and you mess with me!’
‘Don’t call me “buddy”!’

Jasmine kicks Johnny’s butt, and they all live happily ever after. The end.

Members (and ex-members!) of T$R will be familiar with the kudos system they use on that site. Basically, it’s just a points system which allows you to buy various ‘upgrades’ (I use that term oh-so-loosely) and other site goodies (and I also use that term loosely). You can earn your K points by submitting creations, commenting on others’ work, and taking out a paid subscription. Anyway, one of the above-mentioned goodies is a monthly lottery, which costs, I think, 500 kudos points, and gives you the chance to win an expansion pack. Of course, this is very tempting to cash-strapped kiddies, but how many of these cash-strapped kiddies ever win?

Here is a little story written by Zayury, from The Anti-T$R Blog. Zayury isn’t making any outright allegations as such, rather, merely providing you with some info and letting you draw your own conclusions.

The site seems to have been taken down I don’t know if this is because Zayury pulled it (why!?!) or if T$R had a hand in it.

Japanese library rules must be very lax. Do what you like, as long as you’re quiet!
