Can't help from personal experience, as I never played the Sims, but I tend to trust Amazon reviews, they've been heklpful for me in the past, so if they're mostly positive, I'd say go for it.
At least you won't have the hassle everyone else is downloading the new one on PC...
Yeah, I took a long hiatus from my walks for a while cause it was too cold outside, and I have allergies as well. I din't realize you were talking about an online service though, I'm just so used to Blockbuster being brick-and-mortar (I used Express, their answer to Red Box once or twice, but still) that I didn't know they had online stuff. I'll check that out if I get the cash necessary.
I played through most of Echoes, and I liked some of the new features, but that Dark World stuff starting frustrating me too much at a certain point. Is there a Gamecube-specific corruption? I don't have a Wii.
That is one awesome chiptune song. 
What software do you use to make such awesome?
Bad Religion is coming to the House of Blues in Dallas, and it's only $25, but I can't find anyone to go with me 
lol
But $10? Just to get in to the Dallas county fair was $15 (and you had to pay for crap once you were in), so I'd love a $10 concert, that's a hell of a good price, especially for a good artist; hell, I'd give a bad artist a chance for that much.
I watched the 1up Let's Play where Jose Otero and ... the other guy, played both the SNES Sparkster and this Genesis game. They didn't get very far in this one, if I recall.
I agree with your side rant though, things are getting a little too shit-gritty looking for my tastes. I like dark stories, but you can still use more colors than grey and black in your color pallette.
Nice Dr. Strangelove nod there, too. lol I'll have to play this one myself some time.
Open Office is a free alternative to Word, and it worked well for me when I downloaded it after having to reformat one of my laptops.
Uuuhhhh ... there was this one time I kept beating everyone in line at an arcade by just rapid pressing buttons using Yoshimitsu in Tekken; so basically I was more like one of your asshole new friends. lol
We did have a rule in Goldeneye though: physically abuse the motherfucker that kept getting a hold of the golden gun, especially if he was the one that suggested it be allowed.
I have heard of Lilly Allen, her "Fuck You" song was popular when I was in high school. Kate Nash I've heard of, but I don't really know her music.
Goldfrapp I've never actually heard of, but I'll have to check them out.
Yeah, without a strategy guide, I would have never gotten the masks I do have in Majora, so I can easily see getting pissed if I was in unspoken competition with someone having that advantage. lol
