The SIM-ultaneous Life of a Sim

Another age has passed, fellow readers, and the time has come for another update. Today, I'm going to start a new feature of this blog called "The SIMologies". I guess you're wondering why the lame name and stuff, so let me explain.

Around 7++ years ago, a revolutionary people simulation game called The Sims was released. Since the game's popular release, seven consecutive successful expansions were released. Yes folks, SEVEN!!! Talk about crazy! Then after an age, the producers finally released its sequel, The Sims 2, sometime in the middle of our exams. Now that the exams are almost over, and I have not the patience, I laid my hands on a copy of that devilishly addictive game.

So the Sims is about playing out every aspects of people's lives and stuff like that. For full game review, check out sites like gamespy.com. Well, I was out of ideas for blog entries, then I though up of writing soap operas of the lives of the Sims that I play, and voila! A new blog feature is born!

Okay, enough with the boring talk. Let's start off the feature with the life of an interesting character.

#01 - The Sims 2 - The Life of a Sim Playboy

**********************************************************************

The day starts off fresh, with the background story as follows. The Sim, Don, has proposed to a girl from his neighbourhood, Cassandra. Being a playboy, he has two other lovers whom he still dates. Despite being torn apart between being loyal to his fiancee and living out his life as a playboy, Don still feels carefree. I mean hey, he's a playboy. What do you expect?

It was a beautiful summer day in Pleasantview, the neighbourhood in which Don has been living all his life. Me, as the player who acts like God in the game, has just given Don 1 000 000 Simoleons (the game's currency) and renovated his front lawn to include a swimming pool and an outdoor restaurant complete with a buffet table, a chef, a bar and even its own bartender. A playboy Sim has got to party you know.

Don has just came home from work, as a medical officer or something. Surprising eh? Considering he's a playboy. Well fret not, I'll probably make him work in the military. Don went over to the phone to subscribe to some services; the maid, the gardener, the chef and the bartender. While waiting for them to come over and do his house, Don went to pump some iron on his new weightlifting machine which I had just conjured from thin air in front of him. He needs to look suave to impress the girls you know.

After the chef filled the buffet, our dear Don went to dig in. That was when he noticed the maid cleaning his toilet through the window. Oh! Those hair! Those eyes! That sexy blouse! How can Don resist the presence of a woman in his very own house?! The chef's masterpiece became nothing but a pulp as he gukped his food to greet the new babe. Oh, their union in the toilet was sweet! Don greeted her like all the other girls, straight with a deep smooch to the lips.

Just that one kiss was all it took to win the heart of the maid. Well, me, being the sick player I am, left their desires run wild. The Sim couple were groping and smooching in the living room (with the workout video on the large screen TV, also conjured by me). They were oblivious to the presence of the bartender beside them, offering drinks and feeling left out. He wanted to join in the kissing (yes readers, there can be homosexuality in the game, beware) but with my godly powers I willed him to return to his bar.

So began the affair between Don and the maid. Both of them couldn't think of anything else that afternoon other than each other. At night, I sent Don to town to get some fresh air and get that maid out of his head. But alas, there he met a young girl whom he put his charm on. After saving him from being a pedofile, I sent him home to sleep with some sweet dreams in his mind.

Thus the tale of the sick Sim. Hope you guys enjoyed it. I'm reverting back to the previous fictions for the next entry, so look out for it!

Seraphim Anthology #03 - The Battle of Life's Endeavour
A poem by Seraphim

**********************************************************************

Onward thou shalt march to war!
To where the battle is fought on plains of white
Thou shalt scar the battlegrounds with might

Thy armor is but the plating of labor
Polished by the skills that thou now harbor
Brandish thy sword with beauty and grace
To engrave the battle on thy enemy’s face

Fear not the wrath of the tenders of the plains
O, brave wielder of the Excalibur of blue
For your mastery shalt leave their efforts in vain
And be rewarded to fight for what is true
Onward thou shalt march to war!

**********************************************************************

Ah, my latest works, my best piece yet. For those non-literature readers, the poem's a metaphorical writing about what else? The exams. Took me a few days to get the vocabulary straight, but voila! Look at my masterpiece! Do take a closer look to try to figure out the hidden meanings.
