Second Life? Isn't that some stupid game for people who actually want to DATE their virtual person? That is some straight up kinky shit.
I like The Sims because I can roleplay and give them specific directives, like create a gold digging housewife who has had 5 husbands and has murdered each and every one, getting a fat stack of cash in the long run and being haunted by their ghosts. Before I uninstalled Sims 3, I erased every single thing on my Sims' lot, they only lived on park benches and had no toilet/shower. The whole point was to make them live in squalor and poverty and have them eventually rise in the social ladder. That shit was HARD and real rewarding. But, of course, being it was The Sims 3 - that cunt mother fucker of a buggy game - my save file ended up being corrupted. GJ EA!!!
