Today was a recovery from minor but irritating ailment day, so while I was lazing around on comfortable furniture surrounded by delicious snacks, feeling sorry for myself, I decided to try out the new Sims 3. (Since the new The Closer episode *still* wasn't up, even though the Blue Beetle guy taunted me by announcing it is the Awesomest thing to Awesome in a while... maybe it is up now? No?)
From keen observation of fandom, I know the only legitimate use of The Sims is to mock up your ships and watch them live in domestic bliss and/or get impregnated by aliens. So after about 5 seconds ofmad giggling consideration, I built an Amanda Waller* and a Vril Dox II and stuck them together in a tiny house.
Obv. babies and kittens to follow!
For the first bit they... more or less tolerated the other's presence. When they were talking about goals and ambitions, they got along great: sky raining plus signs. But if they talked about anything *except* work, Vril was bored and Amanda was insulted and no one was friends anymore.
And then, if I was interpreting the speech bubbles correctly, Vril called Amanda a monkey and Amanda called Vril dumb and YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT WAS ON.
( Oh no you didn't! )
(Dear game, I am kind of impressed! Love, Karen.)
After that, they followed each other around the house to beat the crap out of each other. (The victor: Amanda. Every time. Sure, Vril kicked down Lobo once or twice, but Waller is just that badass.)
*Though I didn't so much build an Amanda as OMG Sims 3 is PSYCHIC. The game generated a Sim for me, and I added a few years, a few pounds, and a skirt instead of pants for her purple suit. THAT WAS IT. It even knew her favourite colour!
