Real trouble in Virtual paradise

Though my gaming interest in The Sims died a long time ago, I'm always interested in hearing how it's going. I read an article on the BBC website about trouble in the Sims Online which mentions The Alphaville Herald, a website which reports on the happenings in Alphaville -- the largest virtual city in the Sims Online.

Kinda inspired me to write this little ditty...

A note to thee, who seeks to dwell
in Alphaville -- online pit of Hell.
Where best laid plans of mouse and Sim,
collapse to fulfil our every whim.
An innocent utopia it cannot be,
whilst each Sim's controlled by you or me.
The safest option, if you heed my warning,
is never to open your eyes in the morning.

Christmas at "The Movies"

At work our game's website has been updated with a neat festive-themed desktop image, featuring two of the robotic stars of "The Movies".

I quote, "Christmas is a time of giving, happiness and mechanoid warriors. After all, some legends do say that one of the wise men was indeed a cyborg. No human can withstand the caustic effects of myrrh, so a special combat droid was built to transport the lethal, potently acidic gift. So in keeping with this theme we've prepared a festive desktop wallpaper which gives the first glimpse of your android actors."

Try them: out! :)

Webcams will take over the world

They've already taken over my workplace, apparently!

My reaction? I'm completely baffled. Apparently they'll be coming to The Movies office too. So you may soon be confronted by images of me, working -- updated every 20 seconds!

Umm... yay? Guess that's the end of the nose picking, huh? ;)

Back in the black!

Yippee! My December salary was just paid into my account and, just for a few days at least, I'm out of debt!

I'm so happy! My bank balance has been below zero since receiving only partial salary for the couple of months of work I did at Creature Labs earlier this year -- just before the company died.

I finally received a small amount of redundancy a couple of weeks ago, but it was such a small amount, it hardly changed a thing. Strangely, some of my former colleagues at Creature Labs were under the deluded impression that I somehow got a better deal than they, because I was made redundant just prior to the company folding. That was not the case, and I said that quite clearly to people at the time! No, despite the fact I was working till my very day, I still got financially screwed out of it.

So anyhow, positive news abounds! The sad bit is that once my December rent goes out on the 24th, I'm back under zero again. But this is a start. I had so wanted to be out of debt by the end of the year, and now I basically am. Result!
