Wednesday, February 05, 2003This is really evil of me to say, but I'm kind of glad The Sims Online is doing so badly. After the novelty of the first evening of play wore off, the game is stupefyingly BORING and in no way worth what they're charging for it.

Welcome to Similitude, every Sim's favorite weblog.
si·mil·i·tude
(n.) 1. Similarity; resemblance. One closely resembling
another; a counterpart. A perceptible likeness. 2.
The act of likening, or that which likens, one thing to another; fanciful
or imaginative comparison; a simile. 3. Similarity in appearance
or character or nature between persons or things. This
page is part of a project for my English 405 class, Advanced
Technical Writing. The project consists of two components, technical
and academic component: produce a project that uses technical writing
and complete a ten-page researched academic paper on a current issue
in technical communication. How can a frivolous weblog about an equally frivolous computer game have anything to do with technical writing? This weblog consists of short articles and stories about my experiences with The Sims. Sometimes I write them myself, sometimes I comment on another article I found interesting, sometimes I post funny pictures. The point is, though, that I'm using this weblog as a basis for my research into game theory and simulation as it applies to The Sims. Whether you play The Sims or not, please don't be shy about leaving comments, e-mailing me your thoughts, or even submitting something if you feel the urge. Anything you contribute will be extremely appreciated. So stay tuned and have fun! If you have questions, comments, or just want to chat, please e-mail me. Or visit my FAQ page to learn more about me and what I do. copyright Jenny Anderson 2002 Past Links |
