Today was a holiday in my part of the country, so I could sleep in....:) which was nice. I read a couple of Big Bang stories, watched two episodes of Six Feet Under, cuddled the piggies, cooked a mean stir-fry... and played Sims 3.
Yeah, I am addicted to playing Sims 2, I love everything about that game, but somehow Sims 3 was tempting me, too. My computer isn't top of the game anymore, it's already 4 years old and barely meets the requirements for Sims 3. I had to set the graphic options to minimum, and it's okay... I love the open neighborhood and being able to follow my Sim wherever he goes, but - sometimes, when the Sim is asleep or at work, it just get's so boring! You can't really fast-forward the game, and I don't want to waste 5 minutes of my life watching the Sim sleep. Guh. I hope EA is going to patch that. Until then I'm back to playing Zoo Tycoon. And
Anno 1404 will be released in a couple of days. I'm such a sucker for the Anno-Games! I loved 1503, I spent days in front of my computer to see my cities grow (and I was a beta-tester for the add-on, too, which was great...) I didn't care much for Anno 1701, the graphic was improved, but the gameplay kind of sucked. The reviews for
Anno 1404 left me tingly all over ;-)
So, anyone on my flist plays Sims3?
