okay, 1 question, how did you finish Civ Rev on the iPhone in an hour. apart from being drastically impressive... Are yousome kind of tactical genius. I got bored with losing after an hour and went back to kicking over rubbish bins in Sims3

And there I think we have our answer to my question.

[ZenBubble]

She's a freak (super freaky!). Do Not play strategic games against this woman.

We used to play chess regularly. I won the first game, but after 100+ straight losses from game 2 onwards, I kind of lost interest.

[Darth Salem]

you could always try traditional Chinese Chess, now that's one step short of the Star Trek Chess Xiangqi

I feel the same way about losing at Guitar Hero with the missus

[xombiekitty]

Wow, that looks tough!!! Would love to try to learn my way around it

I don't know why I do so well at Civ, but it takes all the fun out of a brilliant game.

On the otherhand, I can't play Guitar Hero to save my life and have never made it through a song! I get booed off everytime! ZenBubble, of course, is a rock-god and plays it awesomely!

Is Sims 3 any good? I got bored with 1 & 2, after a very long time and many add-ons though, and so I've never bothered with 3.

[Darth Salem]

Sims 3 on iPhone is about my pace, it's good for up to half an hour per session, say for instance if you are waiting in a Vicroads office, or on hold with a helldesk. You get little challenges and have various days jobs to grind away at for money. Though fishing pays better. Playing a manic sim means I get "missions" like "Watch 5 people as they sleep" or "Kick over all the trash cans in town".

though you cant wall people in with no doors!!!! yes I listened to the podcast.

The other half plays Sims 3 on PC and that is the schizzle, too much of a time vampire for my liking, but looks like good fun you can either micromanage everything or set certain sims to autonomous (?) mode

[xombiekitty]

Ha! Stalker Sim watches you sleep!
Now I have an altered version of one of my favourite Simpsons quotes...
"Can't sleep, Sims will eat me!"

[Hijac]

Not into Sims myself, prefer to read..actually stumbled accross an old Comic in a shoe box...some old Superman Action Comic Thinky, Circa 1938 ,Meh might be worth a look you do you think

[xombiekitty]

Hijac... how about you don't go read the blog & I'll take that issue off you for the cover price LOL
