Sims 3 sucked balls.

Your thumb's doing something really weird there. Try holding it flat against the neck. Your wrist looks like it's fine, though. Try to keep it straight while playing (as in, don't bend it).

I notice my hand positioning gets worse the harder the song is.

I stop holding the guitar with the palm of my hand against it, and start just pushing against the neck of the guitar with my thumb, in order to get more leverage on the frets. Like, really clawing at it.

I recorded a video of me playing a song, with the camera on my hand and face. I'm currently splicing it with the MP3 of the song, if it didn't take freaking ages for me to download it D:

I might just put it up in a little bit for a "Oh hey, this is something different from me posting another boring photo of myself in Pics or GTFO"

EDIT: Fuck it. I can't figure out how to add music to a video.
EDIT: I take that back, I'm sorta thinking I'm figuring it out now. Maybe I'll set it up after all.

How.

normally, my computer is pretty fast and i can play most of my games quickly and happily on it, but Sims 3 takes up so much space that it is INCREDIBLY laggy if i have the graphics any higher than utter shit, so it has to look like crap when i play it.

And whenever i try to create a sim, god help me, i cannot make one look attractive. Every single sim i make looks like they have a fat chin. Like, this little waddle hanging from their jaw. ugh.

As for the gameplay itself? The new options in building are nice... But the furniture is basically the same as Sims 2, but with a few extra goodies, and some objects have a few more options than before (trolling on a forum as an option for the computer- lol)

All the interesting community lots are pretty much innaccessable. Sure, you get a few options, but unlike Nightlife in the Sims 2, you cannot send you sim to a restaurant on a date and see them inside the restaurant and actually make them do stuff inside like flirt with their date and stuff(my favorite thing to do). You can only tell them to go to a restaurant, movie, or spa etc and the camera stays outside while you wait for the sim to be done spending their simoleons where you can't even see.

Also, you can't make your own new town. Also, you can't simply play a single household for a little bit, save, and go back to the neighborhood and play as the house right next door.. No, you can only play one family in the entire neighborhood for a single save file. You want to play a different family in the same 'hood? Well, you have to start a new save file with a replica of the same neighborhood, like an alternate dimension.

This sucks because i like to make a couple separate sims in different households, make them meet, and hook them up. I can't do that anymore and it sucks balls.

Sims 2 with user-made content i download for free off the internet is funner and graphically superior to Sims 3.

final fantasy XI online....

PC version any good?

Karilyn · Post by **Karilyn** » Sat Apr 10, 2010 5:00 pm

It's good. It's great. I love it, and generally consider it to be the best MMO ever made.

But it's far too old to get into now.

Unlike WoW, FFXI is a slow MMO, more like Everquest. Great if you joined in like the first 2-3 years. But by now, you are so far behind everyone else, and the games progression takes daisies near a year to reach the max level.

It's not worth joining anymore as a new player, especially with FFXIV coming out soon.

And then by the time 14 comes out:

"Man, wtf, it's not even worth starting FFXIV... You're better off waiting for WoW2"

not so sure how I feel about the combat style though

Both are great, but, honestly, I'd have to say Madworld is better. It's shorter, but goddom is it glorious.
