The Sims 2 - Game Review!
The Sims 2 is a great sequel to the original. Like the first, it lets you create, build, and basically control the lives of "computerized" people. The Sims 2 introduces new features, a lot more game options and some neat clothes and careers to fit your Sims just right.
One of the most significant new features, is the way the sims can now act in a way totally different from the original sims. Now, Sims can age, have memories, have new aspirations, new turns on/turns offs, and fears. Sims can interact with other sims from the neighborhood and make new memories, which impact the sims future behavior. You can control how the sims will live by choosing new aspirations, whether it's being a romancer, a family builder, a brainiac, or a workaholic. It's all in your control!
The sequal also lets you get creative by using editing tools, some-what like photoshop, to customize the way you want your sims to look! You can choose from a wide range of hairstyles and clothes. Now, you can choose options like what colour their eyes will be, to what they're gonna wear on a specail occasion.
My favourite new feature are the building options. EA and Maxis have really expanded on these options. Now, you can customize your house with new furniture, and new looks. You can add new levels ( up to three) and add new items in retrospect to how your sims will live. Now, you can build that perfect "Ikea" stylized home.
Not much to complain about this game except for the long loading. When you think its finally done loading, it takes another 2 minutes to load the house up. Sometimes the game would freeze on me, and it's alway a pain if you don't save it often. But aside from that, this game is a perfect 10/10 in my book!

Selfless Good Deeds?
So this morning I was on the bus to school (which by the way! I was very happy I was not late for!) and I sat near the front of the bus and like any other good, courteous person I got off my seat when I saw a mother and her son get on the bus. So as I kindly got off my seat, I remembered a friends episode I had watched the night before. On that episode, Joey and Phoebe were arguing about selfless good deeds.. and if they even exist! Personally.. I don't really know if they do. I mean, come on, honestly...there is some pride that you get when you help someone in need. Is that joy.. if you can call it that.. really considered selfless? Is there a difference between doing a good deed and doing whats expected of you to do? I guess it all comes down to having good karma.
