Hilarity

This is why EuroGamer is so bloody good.

Also, apparently some Hollywood eejits have bought the rights to The Sims and are turning it into a film. This has to be the most retarded idea ever, as The Sims is basically a game where people can play their lives on their pc, except a little faster and with less chance of being rejected when they try to start up a relationship (that chance must be considerable seeing how they're sad enough to have to resort to a fecking computer game, ffs!) and, of course, the possibility of killing off their character by putting him in the shower and then removing the doors. Apparently the movie is legitimised by nonsensical claptrap:

The Sims has done an interactive version of an old story, which is what it's like to have infinite power and how do you deal with it. Given that that's an old story, you can imagine how easily that would translate to traditional storytelling.

How do you deal with it? Control+alt+del should do the trick. Sadly that won't be possible when watching a film (unless you watch it on your pc, of course).
While the idea is pathetic, the simple idea behind The Sims and Second Life was little better, and those concepts are hardly unsuccessful, so who knows - it might rake in a lot of money. I am, however, sceptical. What made The Sims and Second Life such successes is the simple fact that they're interactive. It may look worse than life, but it appears to the player that the influence is greater; re-decorating doesn't take ages, anyway. A film completely lacks that interaction, and seeing as that would make this either the film of a normal life or the film of the life of some loser who sucks so much that he has to resort to a pc game to have any achievements, sensible people may just stay away and wait for the film of their own life to roll on, a market Hollywood can never reach.
