1  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / what's your pirate name? on: 2007 June 16, 10:34:35
Evil Wicked Wilma (first quiz).

And on the second...

Mad Bess Flint

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
2  The Pirate Ship / ARR! / Is this new, or I am just slow? (Peggy) on: 2007 June 04, 01:47:18
Good gawd!  That is one craptastic hair.  I hate, hate, hate, seeing a mile wide gap that is supposed to be a parting in the hair.  Damn.  Sprinkle some Sim-gaine on that shit.  

I haven't been to Peggy's site in over a year, because I couldn't stand all that blinking.  I headed over there tonight to see just how bad the blinking had gotten and... gasp... I saw none at all.  God bless Firefox and the creator(s) of AdBlock Plus!

Someone mentioned Rose... I downloaded the new Rose hair from the booty the other night... it looked pretty and I wanted to use it in my game.  Urgh.  Asymmetrical hairline followed by an asymmetrical fringe at the back of the neck.  I'm all about symmetry, so that one is going to have to be deleted.

I don't know what to say. It's not even stupid, it's... Well. I have no idea how they plan to base a movie on a game that's about simulating real life - unless they plan on having the actors whine a lot and pass out and pee on the floor and spawn babies in three days time etc...  :lol:


ROFLMAO!  

I seriously question the sanity of the person who gave the go-ahead for this.  It's a fun game to play, but a movie?  Live action, at that?  Geez.  There's just nowhere they can go with something like that.  The best they can do is a "Stranger Than Fiction" take off, where the people slowly realize they aren't real, but part of a computer game... and even that sounds boring as hell.

Oh hell no the Teletubbie movies were far worse. I'm still having nightmares about that purple bastard.


They made Teletubbies into a movie?!?!   :shock:  Good gawd.

do you find normal that add ons are so expensives! worst: do you see the price they ask for content stuff (glamour and others..) the base game is already enough expensive so they could offer additionnal content for free or at least for a reasonable price..


I don't think the games are too expensive, nor the expansions/stuff packs.  The price is comparable to what other brand new, just released games are selling for, so I don't have a problem with the cost.  

As for the stuff packs, the price on those is more than reasonable.  If EA wanted to, they could charge $40-$50 for each one of those, but they don't.  I've ever seen one for more than $20 where I live.

Off topic: if they did go free magicly over night, would anyone download their stuff? I used to really want it...now after plundering the booty, I dont really want it...most of it is quite bad and I delete it  :?


I probably would.  I spend more time downloading than actually playing, so it could easily be a month or more before I saw how an object, etc. looked in-game.  So yeah, I'd continue to download for a good while, most likely, before I realized I was downloading ugly shit from some sites.

Yes, running a paysite featuring content for the Sims 2 is considered to be a violation of both the Electronic Arts Terms of Service and copyright law. This includes both content that is sold directly and content that is offered as part of a subscription service. Additionally, the intent behind providing these tools to the Sims 2 community was to promote the sharing of content, not commercial activity.



All I can say is, it's about fucking time!  I am so sick of seeing paysite lovers dodge the issue, and come down like a pack of rabid dogs when someone dares to hint that it's wrong to have a paysite.  Let's see how they dodge this one, eh?

I wonder, too, if this will cause people to STFU about file sharing in general.  I'm not saying it's ok to share without giving credit to the creator, or to claim someone else's stuff as your own.  It's not.  I do, however, get a little weary of hearing about people who take down their sites (or remove their creations from sites such as MTS2), and then, because of their no-sharing policy, you're not allowed in most places to publicly request having those items emailed to you.  I really don't see the problem in letting people continue to enjoy items that were previously available.  What's the harm in saying "share however you like... just let people know who made it"?

Back on topic:  If EA actually follows through and goes after paysites, I hope TSR is the first to fall.  That site has been a thorn in my side since I first joined the Sims community... seeing things I liked, only to realize it was inaccessible to freebies only members.  Fuckers.  I take great pleasure in plundering from the TSR booty.   :twisted:
