Come, relive the creepy with The Sims Social announcement trailer

Aug 21st 2011 8:56PM (Joystiq)
What is so creepy about it? This game has been around for years, yes this is the first time it has been available as an online game through Facebook, but it's not anything new. Neither is the whole concept, ever heard of Second Life? In fact Second Life is a whole lot more risque than Sims Social...To me SS, looks to be pretty fun...Although, the trailer is very misleading b/c you can't do most of the stuff it shows. When you visit someone's house they don't even know you are there. It's like you have your own little world and they have theirs...You can't actually interact with one another at all and you most certainly can't just build your perfect mate. I mean I suppose you could but you would have to make a whole new Facebook account to do that. If you are dating someone, you can't move in with them. So far you can't have babies like in other Sim games, so overall I would say it's pretty harmless and I know it's still in the early stages, but it's kind of sadly underwhelming. There isn't a whole lot to it yet. Games like Second Life are a lot more in depth, but I will give it time..Creepy however, it is not..And whoever said that this was bad for teens b/c it promoted sexual themes or whatever. I personally would be happy if my teen was only pretend playing house in a game online instead of out having sex and getting pregnant or worse. This game is no worse than Barbie dolls..

Tom Cruise Wanted to Jump Into the 'Imaginarium'??

Sep 11th 2009 8:00AM (Cinematical)
I really do hate it for Cruise that his acting ability (which is superb) is being overshadowed by his personal life and beliefs. Seems like he can't say or do anything right in the tabloid/public's eye anymore. Everything he does gets twisted and turned and ends up making him look like a fool. I never heard anything much about his personal life when he was with Nicole Kidman, but as soon as he starts dating Katie Holmes he is all over the gossip columns. Rather you agree with his beliefs or not, you really can't deny that he is one of the best actors of our time. I think he, Brad Pitt, and Johnny Depp all have that in common, they are all around the same age and also seem to adapt well with the times and are all great actors. Although not in the same age group, I feel that Heath Ledger was also one of the best upcoming actors of our time, sad that he had to die so young. I'm sure there are others, but the ones that always come to mind are Tom, Brad, Johnny, Al Pacino, Nicholas Cage and Jack Nicholson.

I can't wait..I think it's the best idea ever. I have been wishing I had more new x-file stuff to watch...I wish they'd bring back the series...
