Treasure Madness

06 Feb

Treasure Madness, the only reason I even use Facebook anymore and its all because of a stupid little flash game that @ClaireMichelle got me hooked to! A couple of weeks ago I started playing when watching How I Met Your Mother at Claire’s place and now a few weeks later I’m level 38 and wondering, why the hell am I still playing this point and click Flash Game? I played Farmville for a while until I got up enough points that I didn’t have to work for anything anymore and the game became dull, now my crops have withered away and I don’t care.

But I still find myself desperately searching maps digging up squares for treasures! Maybe the fact that there is such a wide variety of treasures to find and that when you lock in a set you know your that much closer to having more Museum $$ But What ever it is, you should really check out Treasure Madness on Facebook and join my Team and send me Health kits!

Renovation Sims!

03 Dec

So today I came to Anna with a little challenge, and the challenge was for both of us to completely renovate / remake a building downloaded from modthesims.com the house we selected was an Abandoned Warehouse style lot. Link Here The house was chosen and the rules were simple. Everything could go, but the original outside walls must remain!

After downloading the lot, I quickly got to work, creating a young adult sim called Marc Sterman, an enthusiastic writer new to the town of Riverview. After a few hours of playing around, removing walls, creating walls. Changing windows again and again and finally selecting a set of stairs. I managed to come out with something that I’m quite proud of.

Disclamer: The rules were that the outside walls
had to stay the same there was nothing
about not adding extra outside walls

 
 

HIGHSPEED CHASE!

24 Oct

I was watching an action movie the other day, and when ever there is a high speed chase, or the criminal has gotten away, the hero, the good guy always has access to a vehicle to join in on the action. Like when they run up to a bystander who has a motorcycle and the claim it for official police duty, saving the world crap, and they hop on and off they go flying through the streets at dangerously high speed.

Just once, I would like to see them hop on the bike, then maybe fall off the other side. Or not be able to ride it, I mean come on… why does every action hero know how to ride a motorcycle, especially when half of the time they are the underdog and all this other bullshit.

Also, think about it, if you are this bystander and the cops just take off with your motorcycle or car… what are you supposed to do about it. What if said bystander was on their way to a job interview, an important meeting. I’m sure the boss is going to accept the excuse GUY – “Sorry I’m late, but my bike got taken by an FBI agent in some high speed chase”  BOSS – “Your fired”

OR, say said hero crashed, dented, scratched your car/bike, I mean come on there is always some form of highspeed crash bang explosion. Imagine going to the cop station, or FBI agency and saying, hey yeah… my bike got scratched up when one of your agents took possession of it for a highspeed chase on the 16th of October….  Are you guys going to get it fixed for me? Agent Person – “What highspeed chase?” “We only use official FBI Vehicles here, please leave”

And (because I didn’t want to use OR or ALSO again) say the bystander whose bike/car was used gets a speeding ticket, I mean hello. Said Agent/Copper who took the bike/car is obviously going to be breaking some road rules in this highspeed persuit. Imagine sitting at home, your bikes bashed up from some stranger riding it for unknown reasons, simply because he had a badge… used up all your petrol and on top of it all, YOU are getting a speeding ticket, or fine for running a red light… Who knows.

Sure its all fun and games when your watching the movie, but next time when you see some Protagonist  take a bystanders bike in a highspeed persuit. Just hope that they pay the bystander all his dues!

And that is my rant for tonight, good night Interwebs

Whats something that you’ve seen in a movie and then thought, hang on… I want to see x and y consequences?

Compromising?

20 Sep

So for the five of you that follow me on Twitter, you will know that the other day my iPhone 3GS fell off my bedside table, a total hight of say 2 feet onto the carpet, and decided that it didn’t want to work no more. After about an hour of trying to get my iPhone to turn itself back on or do anything, I came to the conclusion that it was unfortunately dead. A $1000 phone, dead from ONE fall onto carpet. I realised I would need a phone, even if it was only temporary, so I jumped in my car and headed down to the Telstra shop to get a cheap temp phone and ended up getting the LG TU720 Shine for $249. Hoping that if I gave the iPhone a week or so to recover that it may get better and just be all good and stuff.

But now, a day after using the LG Shine, I’ve realised the simplicity in just a normal phone, I know that may come as a shock to some of you, the iPhone is my life, along with my Macbooks. But just using a simple little Slide phone that has half the features of the iPhone is some what relaxing. It was fun to figure out and remember how to use a Non Qwerty Touch Screen Phone, but the simplicity of its features and functions actually have me thinking… If the iPhone doesnt work and for some ungodly reason isnt replaced by warrenty then maybe I could just stick with the LG Shine for now.

Although I feel the iPhone may have spoiled me still. While yes the iPhone 3GS only just got video recording etc. Most standard phones these days have Video recording and 3 or more MegaPixel Cameras meaning that for just fun point and shoot photos all you need is your phone. The iPhone has GPS and a large screen, easy to control once you get past the fact that it isnt a 1234567890#* Phone. It has an abundance of features that you think… why do I need that, but when you loose access to such feature your in pain thinking WHY OH WHY GOD IS MY FEATURES GONE!

I think, if the iPhone maybe changed up its design a bit more and moved away from the plastic single colour backing and added a better quality Digital camera, and hell a Front camera for video calls. There would be no reason for me feeling this semi-attraction to a normal phone once again after having used an iPhone for over 1.5 years maybe the iPhone needs to change its design up to keep people interested. Sure Apple you can bring out a great device, and most of the time the same customers will be buying your product, and when you send out a new and improved version they dont want just Under the Hood improvements, maybe spicing up the aesthetics a bit will bring more people in, and convince more people to upgrade.

One of the major things that I may have come to expect from phones though after the iPhone is a fully featured Internet browser, it will be one thing, along side the GPS and the add-on Applications that will take me back to the iPhone. Because I can’t live with a Bad Mobile Browser version of Twitter and Facebook… Not Anymore, which is why I am glad that after a day of the iPhone resting, I plugged it in and alas it started to charge, who knows maybe it was the 3.1.1 update after all. All I know is that Im gunna use this LG Shine for a few more days, get my fill for usage of the basics and then I will go back to my beloved iPhone. What happens with my LG Shine? Well lets just say my Mum needs a new phone… She doesnt even have a camera on hers.

Shock

Shock

Just a little animation to show a shocked moment when doing the police line up photo shoot the other weekend. We had been using the self-timer and it randomly decided to go 10 photos all at once… we weren’t prepared
