I mentioned previously that we bought the Missus a The Sims 2 over the vacation. She has played it a bunch, though not as obsessively as I would have thought. I even tried it. I played some last night, creating a Sim and well, killing him in less than an hour. It was not pretty. For all the odd pseudo-speech they make they scream rather realistically when on fire. Will I try this again? Yeah, I probably will. I seem to be the only man who actually plays this game, from what I’ve read, but I’m just hooked enough to give it another try. The odd thing about this turn of events? I started this. I bought the original game about a month after it came out. I played it twice, got bored or frustrated (I can’t remember which), threw it in a box, and forgot about it. The game somehow came up in conversation with the then-future Mrs. Frinklin. She borrowed it, and I didn’t see her for about a week. The expansion packs, and the PS2 version followed.
