The Official Nonsense Thread

[Caspin]

Good heavens, how do you come across these weird things? Or maybe I shouldn't ask!

I seem to have survived the first of the Tube strikes. Buses were crazily busy and setting off even earlier than normal hasn't done much for my tiredness but hey, could be worse. I'll bounce back after a good night's sleep at the weekend and, as a bonus, my house isn't flooded.

So this month is the 14th anniversary of the start of The Sims. Funny sort of anniversary to celebrate isn't it - 14? And how shall we celebrate that, EA? By sacking a bunch of staff, not only those working on the current iteration of the franchise, but also those who were meant to be making the next version? Super! And what about the fans? Don't forget all the players who have enjoyed and, to put it in terms that you will understand, paid for the game for the last 14 years! Hmmmm, why not offer them a free stuff pack, perhaps one that many of them paid for ages ago so it's not a treat. Yes! And then for those who don't already own it, why not continue in fine Sims tradition and fudge up the download mechanism so they cannot claim their prize. Perfection!

I need to find the 'off switch' for my annoyance over this. Maybe cake will work. I'm going it eat cake now. Catch you later.
