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!)"

The French Version of Big Brother is called Loft Story and here [simsloft.fr.st] is a page with the big house and the people playing the French Big Brother.

Oh yeah, HBO is so great. I know so many people who swear by that puke fest of a show, Sex in the City.

You mean people watch Sex in the City? Huh. No, I suggest HBO for the real quality stuff, like Sopranos and Six Feet Under, and the occasional mini-series (Band of Brothers was awesome). Right, so you're saying, "Pay for HBO? Just for a Sunday night line-up? What am I going to watch the rest of the week?" Not a problem. That goes to the rest of my post -- get out of the house! Or read a book (I'm reading A Secret Histroy [barnesandnoble.com], the first volume in the book of Ash). Hell, if you have to be geeky, go write some code. Point being, there's a ton of better things to do than watch TV (yeah, like I'm one to talk, considering what I've spent on my entertainment center. but until AT&T Broadband starts broadcasting HD content, it's pretty much a waste as far as TV goes. Much better for DVDs and my HTPC).

I'd like to point out that Sims Survivor is played by setting up a house with 8 sims and then letting it run without human interaction on the sims part... so if you've got a few PCs and use the 'infinite money' house trick it really only takes a few hours (total) of actual human effort to do.
I also understand your feeling left out on 'having enough time.' I've been unemployed a while too, and I've had to ration the time I spend at my PC or else nothing gets done.
