I had to do some researching on ole Mr. Woods here to write this.  All I knew about him was that he had been in The Lord of the Rings and I had a friend back in junior high who was IN LOVE with him.

After a bit of digging, [read:looked him up on Wikipedia] I discovered that Wood voiced the character of Spyro the Dragon.  He’s done a lot of other cool things and has more than earned himself a place on Sims Gamer.

So, without further ado, click here to get him for your very own.

Everyone’s always emailing me and asking “how do I play sims online?!”  The answer is that you can’t.

I wrote about this back in May and was pretty testy about the whole deal but I’ve calmed since then and I guess I can’t blame you for trying.  So, for those of you who want to play Sims online for free I present to you this link. [Click where it says "this link"]

OK.  That’s a bit of a joke.  They’re Sims 2 online mini games to take some of the sting out of not being able to download Sims 2 online for free legally.

But don’t go away angry.  Friday I have a big giveaway to announce just to reward you for putting up with all of my crap.  I really do appreciate you’re emails, so keep them coming…even if they are about wanting to play Sims 2 for free.

I’ve gotten a BUNCH of emails for people complaining about the cost of Sims 2 and asking me to somehow wave my magic computer wand and make is so they can download Sims 2…for free.

First off, I paid for all of my various versions of Sims 2. I know it sounds bitchy, but why in the world would I give it to you for free?

Also, it would be illegal for me to redistribute my copy of Sims 2 to you. I’m sure you’re a really cool person and you help old people across the street and stuff but I’m not risking a fine or jail time for anyone.

Lastly, have you checked out the price of Sims 2 lately?

Let me back up.

You can get Sims game for $31.98 on Amazon.com. Every stinkin’ one of them.

If you’re aching for Sims 2 then you can get The Sims 2 Deluxe - Sims 2 and Nightlife - from 18.98.

Also, Maxis just released Double Deluxe which gives you The Sims 2, Nightlife and Celebration Stuff all starting at 30.98. [Prices include shipping.]

So, while I understand that for some of you guys 18.98 might seem like a lot of money, think of how quickly you could save up the cash.

That’s four Venti White Mochas at Starbucks.

That’s about four Quarter Pounders w/cheese and fries from McDonald’s.

That’s…well, you get the idea.

Save your money. Buy the game and start enjoying one of the most popular computer games created. I promise you won’t be sorry. And if you find a site where I can play Sims 2 online for free then let me know.
