who's playing this game?

Hmm...a strange topic...
Well I'm certainly a science guy. I'm a vet doing my PhD in the Pharmacology laboratory, dabbling with DNA and doing research on poor, hapless albino rats (although I know that deep down they're the ones experimenting on me!). Now, why I play the game? The answer is quite simple, actually: I like it! Of course, without the numerous mods provided by JM the game would go out the window along with the computer and the 17in CRT screen, but thanx to Pescado I still enjoy the game, don't own my lady a new computer, and don't endanger any passers-by!

The Sims 2 as quintessentially is it almost like eugenics, the second generation is almost always "superior" to the first. As good as mechanical logic and perfection seems, I find my artistic calling turning more to house building and setting up grand schemes in which some Sims get lucky and others explode into fireballs that are visible from outer space. :P
Marvin Kosh:
I'm a mostly self-study programmer, have been since the days of rubber-key Spectrums. Since leaving school a decade ago I haven't really managed to stick at anything for long except writing stories and of course, the odd bit of code here and there. I'm not shy of an honest day's work but my resume is hardly anything to brag about.
Anyway, I play The Sims 2 (and The Sims before it) because watching virtual people going about their lives helps fill the boring bits in mine. It's interesting to try and steer them on a successful course, and since there is no real end of game except of course Armageddon, you can keep on playing without getting stuck on level X which is something that happens in games where the plot has already been set in stone. With this one, if there is going to be a story to it, you've got to supply it, and that's a fun thing to do.

Ever read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy et al? My favorite trilogy of five books!
Judecat:
Don't know that I am either art or science --just plain old me. Retired (or at least out of work and not really looking)file clerk, housewife/dog handler. Was a medic in the army many many years ago, til I found out that I ain't Florence Nightengaleil, and I cannot stand sick people. Or crazy people, or whiners. or people in general. (especially stupid people) They got lables for folks like me -- but I just prefer the one that rhyms with witch.
Read science fiction, (but I don't really like the most of the hard science science fiction)( long time fan of Asimov I think the term Sci-Fi is heresy) the old gothic romances (like Jane Eyre), fantacy, historic novels (but not those god awful historic romances -- bleh) and anthing fact or fiction about the american civil war.
Am addicted to my computer, paintshop pro and Sims. and other computer games. ;) Basically anything to avoid housework.
I'm glad I stumbled on this site looking for a hack -- finally found where the grown ups play.
