The Sims Survivor

Bobby writes "Two great pop culture tastes that taste great together -- the TV show Survivor and the computer game Sims. The premise: eight virtual people trapped in a virtual house with limited resources. Instead of winning contests and voting people off, the characters are subjected to the whims of the Sims game -- but you'll still find the requisite scheming and sexual intrigue. Things really heat up in episode four, a robbery spoils the group's fun in a subsequent chapter, and catfights often liven up the action. Who will be the ultimate Sims Survivor? (Quote From Yahoo!)"

So...

... I wonder which Sim will become a guest star on a sitcom.

Well.

[RaboKrabekian]

I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my life. I don't have NEARLY this much time on my hands. And I'm unemployed. And have no friends.....

These guys must *really* love the Sims.

A singularity of lameness

[The Turd Report]

Holy shit. I think putting these two over-hyped, lame peices of entertainment together has caused a singularity of lameness. An area so lame that it suck in and destroys all cool things with in its grasp. C'mon, Survivor? Fuck your corporate entertainment!

I love The Sims!

[jjeffries]

...and who will be the first character to wake up on a flaming couch in a room not big enough to turn around in that has been constructed sans doors or windows?

Yes, I love The Sims!

I had a friend on IRC that started using names of people she knew from the channel we visited. She'd give me daily gossip updates on what was happening. (The character named after me was the one that got all the chicks, so naturally I was intrigued.)

I haveta admit, that was the most interesting convo I had on IRC in ages. It sure beat the hell out of "HI ARE YOU A WOMAN?".

I used to

[jfroot]

When I used to play Sims, I'd have 2 girls and 1 guy living in the same house. One girl would always stay in the house. The other girl had a day job, and the guy had a night job. During the day I'd make the guy and girl have sex, and at night I'd make the two girls do it. On the weekends, they'd get jealous and fight because they'd see each other getting it on.

Now THAT would make some great TV.

Re:2 replies and alread slashdotted

*Server receives binary code for "Slashdot"* *Server implodes,kiling all the poor sysadmins,to avoid the pain of it all*

Phew...

[wilburdg]

Occasionally I am kinda glad sites get slashdotted. Otherwise, I would've spent a few minutes of my life looking at a site about some sick sims/survivor game.

Thank god.

Survivor

[horsie]

Well, apparently, no one told the web server that it had to survive as well... seems that it's been voted off the Internet.

Heh. :)

What's next?

[Target Drone]

What's next? The Slashdot Sims where you can become a member of a simulated slashdot community.

Oh boy! I can hardly wait to sign up and start my new life as first poster then slowly work my way up to a full blown troll.

>You're... PROUD of only watching half an episode of Survivor?

You're ... PROUD for joining the retard race on Slashdot?

>The standards for pride have, it appears, fallen somewhat since I was originally taught the word.

ANd when did your mommy teach you "the word"? By the way, what the fuck is "the word"?

>You should have pride if you participated in an AIDS walk and raised money & awareness.

LMAO! Let's see.. Me walking down a road for a few miles is going to mysteriously cure aids/cancer/disease? Like hell. Oh yeah. Now it's awareness. Who DOESNT know about Aids. Find somebody, and I call them a bumblefuck.

>You should be proud if you strictly recycling cans and paper to cut the need for pulling virgin materials into circulation.

Its easier to mine/find newer stuff than it is to "recycle" it. Afterall, it's the cost of energy to get, not the cost of the good.ANyways, you've shown me how much of a damn Greenpeace fucktwat you are. Pride of recycling.... Gag me.

>You should be proud of yourself if you, through some selfless action, helped someone in need through a difficult period and improved their life markedly.

_-Yawn-_ There is no such thing as selfless actions (altruism). You get "paid" somehow, someway. Wether it be in friendship, popularity, or materials... you DO get paid.

>But this... being PROUD of somehow resisting the urge to watch part of a TV show?

In a culture which NOT watching TV is frowned upon... I understand it (in his context).

>Ridiculous

You're a dipshit.

[unicron]

Oh yeah, HBO is so great. I know so many people who swear by that puke fest of a show, Sex in the City. Here's a sample scene for those of you that haven't had the pleasure of watching it:

Girl 1: I love cock!
Girl 2: Really!? What a coincidence, I love cock!
Girl 1: I had cock on the way here..twice!
Girl 3: Quit talking about cock, you're making me want cock.
Girl 4: We're such strong, powerful women!
All: Agreed!

[garcia]

instead you live your life on the Internet talking about /. related things to other people who are interested in /. related items.

It's a living soap opera led by Tim, Katz, and Rob.

We hate MS, Billy has gone and done it again, owning himself by allowing Windows to be taken over by Shatter.

OMFG, the world is coming to and end, Linux didn't make it as a desktop OS.
