Sims 3: Game Review

This post was originally published on Digimantra

On June 2nd, 2009 EA released the next chapter for one of the most popular gaming series – The Sims. The Sims 3 brings a lot of new stuff to the table, while improves on what was already there. We have a look how.
The pivotal change brought about in the series by The Sims 3 is the opening up of the neighbourhood. Never again will you go claustrophobic looking at the same set of walls every day. There is more to life than being stuck at home isn’t it. Well, that’s what EA decided and delivered a gamers’ delight. Yup! Ten minutes of Sims 3 later you will wonder how you ever played the game without the neighbourhood.

Day Three: Coming Home Now

on my flight back home:

And I’m coming home now
It’s been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Praying you’ll be there

10:40 AM I am glad to be going home.
Here Comes the Sun; Here Comes the Sun,
And I’ll Say – It’s Alright!
11:03 AM I keep running into bad weather, or so it seems.
11:07 AM Its common to have Turbulence due to the current weather.
Current Height is 38000 Feet.
Just crossed Hyderabad. Scheduled to fly over Bhopal at 11:55 AM and over Delhi by 12:45 PM.
11:20 AM I wish they had bigger windows to enjoy the view.
11:22 AM I wish I could feel the wind on my face.
11:31 AM Bad Weather Again: Be Seated, Fasten Seat Belts, Don’t Use Lavatories. Great! Bleeding Great!
11:35 AM I am rocking my toes, my feet are numb.
I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there!
Become so tired, so much more aware
11:38 AM Through with bad weather and no visibility for once. Cloud Cover Lost. Land Ahoy!
11:50 AM Hey Bhopal! How you doin’ man?
11:52 AM Aaj main upar, aasman neeche
Aaj main aage, Jamana hai piche
I dunno why, but I am humming this song. And grinning shamelessly.
11:56 AM Ah! Be Damned You, Turbulence!
11:58 AM It’s kinda weird the way the craft wings shake in the wind. I hoped them to be hard and firm.
12:02 PM It’s like a vast ocean of clouds that I am flying over. Nature’s Call. BRB.
12:08 PM I have been a great discomfort to my seatmates with all the walking from and back to the seats. Wish they had more space between two subsequent rows. Sorry!.
12:19 PM I want to be a space tourist next.
12:27 PM Approaching Home. 20 Minutes to Terra Firma. Wait! Isn’t TERRA supposed to be FIRMA? Ain’t that implicit? I mean, do we have Terra Infirma? I wouldn’t want to be there.
12:28 PM Preps started. Changes in direction and altitude.
12:28 PM We will be landing shortly in Delhi.
Descending Now.
12:29 PM Mother Earth and Gravity playing their little games.
12:40 PM Touche!

Payday Payday…. I'm Hit…

Ah Well, Lame Joke! I know. But today I received my first salary. Well its not the first, technically, because my first salary was earned somewhere in late 2004/early 2005 when Subodh shared a token from its first profits amongst its founding members. That salary was a token amount of Rs. 100 (great idea by Bhupi) and I don’t rememebr what I did of it. But, I still have the envelope preserved :D

Anyhow, Since this is my first “job” job, we shall assume this as my first salary; and me mum was proud – with twinkling eyes she commented: her son has finally grown up (how wrong she is :P). I only wish I could have earned a better amount for her, but hey! it’s a start… beware world, I am coming :P

But most of you don’t even know about my job. So, I shall take this opportunity to update you on my professional front (I never update on personal fronts :P).

On 21st May 2008, I joined OSS Cube as a Community Manager, with a decent package to start with. A lot of my Job Profile is Hush-Hush and Shhh-Shhh so you get the idea, don’t you? Figures! Well, I am looking after a number of Community-related aspects of OSS Cube. Better?

That would be all for now, I guess. Oh! By the way, I am finally migrating to Linux – just very confused about which distro to use, but the mighty tux it will be. And yes, I am writing this post while running internet from an Ubuntu Live CD (funny, I never configured my IPs and yet the net works… learn windows, learn!).

Signing Off. Take Care
