No Trilby hats? Then he's right about the Sims controlling us because they must have been the ones that made our lives hell.
Yeah, I played the Sims 3 for about an hour and was done with it forever.
This one was unusually funny.
EDIT: They are usually funny, but this one was even more so.

Yahtzee's sore throat made it seem like a trip back to the old-style ZPs without the innovative intros.
Funny stuff, as usual. Zero Punctuation still feels fresh about two/three years in. Even though I only started watching it last October.

Some have told me that the improvements in The Sims 3 were subtle, but I'm not going to buy another sims game until I can make my sims have orgies! Great review Yahtzee!
Either he has serious issues with The Sims, or he's stressed out or anything like that. I wonder if he maybe lost his girlfriend or something, when you think of the rant on "women are evil", and the end credits.onfirejb said:
I remember the only reason I played Sims was to muck with their lives, killing them in the most interesting ways I could because in real life that kind of thing is frowned upon. Unless they've created more inventive ways to kill the Sims I doubt I'll be getting it (That and my computer would most likely crash if I attempted to play it)
This was definitely a surprise.
But meh, what else would anyone expect of the Sims 3? I'll admit, I used to play the original sims..when I was 14 or so. It gave me a year or so of entertainment, until I realized every time I put in the game I did the same thing.
Infinite money cheat, build ridiculously awesome house, have giant pool party, take out ladder in edit mode, move in new family to be haunted by the previous drowned family. Repeat. Eventually the town was full of graveyards and I got bored.
Sadly, I still went out and bought the sims 2...and maybe put about 3 hours into it before putting it away to collect dust.
Won't be making the same mistake again.

Ah, body horror and piss jokes, the old standbys. I'd have to agree with The Sims and Women both being evil, but at least The Sims is a less expensive game.
Ahh, that had me in stitches, well played Crowshaw, well played. I also quit playing the Sims after it felt too much like real life.
*pointless me-too about Yahtzee being awesome*
Yay.
Anyway, it was a funny review, to me. But playing the Sims is like winning the Special Olympics...it just proves you're a retard. It's a game where you play out normal life via a god damn polygon, of couse it sucks horse nipples. I have no doubt these are all valid points he's made this time...I have no doubt because they're so obvious it hurts. The Sims was like the gnarled, horrifying birthcry of the Casual Gamer, you know that loser who wants to call himself a gamer but has the reflexes of an autistic baby so he can't play a real game with graphics and gameplay and such, so he's forced to play something that is a "video game" in the same sense that a video tape of a guy playing Snakes and Ladders is a video game.
Anyone who ever looks at the Sims, let alone play it, will tell you it's literally like playing with dolls only more embarrassing. You're arranging play dates and weekends for people who don't exist, who are apparently too stupid to control their bladders, and oh yeah, you can customize them. And by customize, I mean, buy an expansion pack.
Yay.
