I have a complete set of The Sims 2 with all expansion and stuff packs (including all strategy guides, because I'm a completist dork like that) that I'm willing to give to a good home. Because of the size and weight, all I'm asking for is the cost to ship. Would anyone be interested?
Stuff, Things and Other Things
Apr. 27th, 2009 07:16 amThing the First: Open Beta Party. I've got a place in mind that I personally think will be best for all of us, the Tastee Diner in Silver Spring. It's drivable, it's near a metro, it's got wi-fi, it's mandated by law to be wheelchair-accessible and they said they could EASILY handle a group of 15 or 20. No reservation needed.
I'm waiting to hear from Mayorga Coffee, also in Silver Spring. Numerous people have suggested it as a possibility, so.. I contacted them to go "O Hai, U Has Party That Day?"
I really want to get this finalized soon, though, so... I hope to hear from them real soon.
( Also.. more stuff and things )

Good Weekend
Dec. 11th, 2006 07:57 amGood morning, my little minions!
It was a good weekend. We headed off to Target this weekend and got Decorations. For me: I got a Menorah, some Candles and two bags of Gelt because... well, just because! :)
And K got.. a tree (a 4 ft fake tree with lights in it), some stockings (two big ones (one for me and one for her) and four small ones (for each fuzzy baby)), some ornaments and a few other things here and there. )
And we did a little bit of decorating. We put up K's Harry Potter Oranments (she is SUCH a dork!) and my Star Trek Ornaments (So am I ;D ), but didn't put up any Glass Ornaments until we were sure the cats weren't going to knock the tree down (So far, so good.)
And K is very happy because we have a tree and she loves decorating for Christmas :)
We also both played Sims 2: Pets for the PS/2
Got the game on Friday and we've both been amused.
Let me give a quick run down/comparison.
Unlike the PC expansion pack, the Sims 2: Pets for PS/2 is a standalone game. That works for it, in some respects, and against it in others. The biggest reason it doesn't work FOR the game is that there's so much content in the other expansion packs that simply aren't a part of this game: Businesses, University, Dating, etc. Also, because it all has to fit on ONE DVD, you can tell that they added some stuff, but couldn't add everything..
So, let's start with what I LIKE about the PS/2 version.
Firstly, the food creation system. Unlike the PC version where you learn food just by cooking it, on the PS/2, you go to the fridge, pull out some ingredients and make something based off of it. Pull out some sort of meat, some sort of grain, some sort of dairy and some sort of vegetable, and you can make a pizza (though how that works with.. Tofu, Oat Brain, Milk and Onion, I got no idea. But it does.)
I like some of the wants. For example, I had to attempt to.. find the money paw (in the couch), discover a comet (with the telescope) and sell a GOOD painting (with an Easel and sufficient creativity points.)
Now, what the PC version does better.
Firstly, content. With... four expansion packs and a couple of stuff packs, I got content out of the ears. Sometimes too much, but... it's nice to have choices. :)
Secondly, detail. In the PC version, you can zoom way in and see the marks on the kitties fairly close, not so in the PS/2 game.
Genetic.. Pets can mate in the PS/2 version, and have a litter, but the genetics aren't quite so well done. And Sims can't woohoo at all. Nor do they age. That I dislike. I LIKE how, in Sims 2, Sims started aging. It was RIGHT. It was more realistic. :)
So... I'm enjoying the PS/2 game, as is K. :)
But it won't replace the PC game.
In other news, Sims 2 has finally announced it's fifth expansion pack named.. Sims 2: Seasons, I believe. That finally introduces seasons and weather. From what I can tell, it'll add quite a bit of content... you'll be able to Garden, and Fish. You'll be able to do Weather (and Season)-depednent activities: Snowball fights, jumping in piles of leaves, tanning. And there'll be actual weather. Rain, Thunderstorms, Snow, Snowstorms, Hail.
Looks exciting! :D

TGIF (Thank God I'm Furry)
Dec. 8th, 2006 07:57 amAnd I'd like to thank those of you whom would like to point out that I'm not Furry to please silence themselves. :) That's what my Cat Calendar says and it amuses me! :)
It's Friday. And do you know what that means? :)
It means... that the weekend draws nigh!
*attempts to sketch the concept of nigh, fails* Curses.
Yesterday was a pretty good day, as I posted yesterday. Except for the traffic on the way home, but.. it's DC, and there isn't an awful lot you can DO about that here, except, you know, not drive :p (And then you gotta worry about snarls on the Metro systems or the busses being late, but.. anyways..)
K's still got the cough of death and I'm trying to suck down enough Zinc pills and Vitamin C to stop the cold of death from hitting me or, if it does, being much more muted than it has been for K! :p
Cause she sounds like she's coughing up a hairball, which is not an attractive sound for a 28 year old human to make.
Just saying.
Gonna pick up K at the Metro Station and hit a game shop. I've gotten the A-OK to buy "Sims 2: Pets" for PS/2. No one's getting it for me for Chrismannukah, so tonight, it shall be mine! ;D
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! ;D
Mine, I say, All mine! ;D
... OK, I'm done. :)
Oh, so despite my "I quit forever and ever" thing for C-C, as of yesterday, I became volunteer moderator for The Lounge :) I get to act as a first responder and general assistant to the bossmen in helping to keep things ticking, and to keep things in the Lounge from getting out of hand (and that has, occasionally, happened :) )
.. can't think of anything to say.
Making this one public :)
