By looking at this photo, what do you think? Sims? DJ? Under dressed pink hair lady? Well that's just what you can do (or be) in the game. But what about being a under dressed pink hair lady would want people to play the Sims (unless that's what floats your boat)? Well it seems that these games controlling a life that isn't your is making alot of people happy. 4.3 million of the sims 3 have been sold already to be exact. For some reason, people just get a fix out of it.. and do you blame them?
As far as pirated music goes, who does like a good remix of their favorite songs. DJ's have so many tools aviable to them to mash up what ever they please to make the consumer happy. How ever, it's still illegal, and punishable in a court of law. Makes you think about how the little things in life make people break the law. Live life to the fullest, I guess.
When I was in middle school my best friend was OBSESSED with Sims. She would ask me to come over, and all she wanted to do was play that game! I would lay on the floor and ask if we could go outside and she would spend seriously 4 HOURS making characters and "building" a house. It was rediculous. Do you think that the idea of "controlling life" is creepy? Because I do...
ReplyDeleteI've played a Sims game before, but never got very far. It is true that it and obsessive game. You don't want to want to stop even when you're parents tell you to. Not really sure if the game teaches us anything other then we can make a half naked lady with pink hair.
ReplyDeleteHow do you see these activities as empowering to the people who do them?
