I am a total Sims addict.  Been playing since I was 13 and have every expansion for the first and second games.  I plan to follow this trend with game #3.   :)
Started playing around that age, too;  was a huge addict in high school. Haven't really been playing much at all since my dad got me addicted to World of Warcraft, but Sims 3 looks really interesting. Don't know that my computer will run it, though. :-\

I like Wow, but I haven't gotten it yet.  I know that's kinda funny, but I don't have time to be addicted to it just yet. :P

Stay away from WoW... trust me.  I started playing that game a year ago when I stopped driving for a living and have been addicted ever since. 

Although it does save me money on game purchases... since I don't play anything else... so I suppose that's a good thing.  :)

Oh it is a very cool game... it's just very addicting.  If you do decide to play, make an alliance character on Khaz Modan server and look me up.  My main character's name is Neocron.  :)

I'm not usually either... but the major reason I like WoW so much is that I can play with my dad even when I'm away at school.

About four years ago or so, I was really into runescape.  But now I hate it.

My mom calls it the bane of her existence cause my dad spends so much time playing it. :P

Well I wouldn't wanna get addicted to it anyway, so good thing I don't really feel an interest.  :P

I played it for a little while and I honestly never really enjoyed it. There wasn't enough plot, there wasn't a reason to keep going except to make a really awesome character, and that's not enough motivation for me. XD

I never played it for that same reason. I want a good story and reason for what my character is doing.

That's kinda what I thought for a while -never payed much attention to the story - but then I started reading the lore on websites like Wowwikki. There's a actually a lot of story behind the game. It's half the reason I play the game now. :P

-Waiting for Legend of the Seeker to come on.

I love that series. I came into it a bit late and missed the first seven but I rally like it. Next week is the final and I hope the series is picked up again. I want to see more.

I would love to see that production studio do DragonLance. I think they could do it justice but I don't know who to write to suggest it.
:D You can watch all the full episodes on their site. And they have been approved for a second season. :D

So psyched for the finale!.

I forget if you've said, have you read the books?
No I haven't read any of them but I might put the first one on my list to see how it goes. Unfortunately my "to read" list keeps getting bigger and my time to read them hasn't. In some cases it think it's shortened. Not enough hours in the day.  :(

Glad to hear it's been picked up for a new season. They've done a great job so far. I hope they come out with it on blu-ray. I think I might buy it if the price it right.

Yes the final sounds interesting.

How close are they staying to the book and how much is being left out? How far are we into the book?

Umm... in one way they're very different, and in another they're similar. The characters and their values are the same, as is the very basic plot - Richard's a woodsguide in Westland, Kahlan's a Confessor helping him (in the books she's is the only one left), and they're trying to defeat Darkhen Rahl, but it's still a good bit different. Most of the stuff on the show is based on stuff that happens in the first book or even others later in the series, or was completely new.

A lot of the minor characters got changed a good bit - for example, the artist James who used magic is a bad guy working for Princess Violet and her mother in Tamarang.

It's changed so much that you can't really follow along with the book at all.

Shades2585

Hummm... Interesting. A little disappointing though.  Well I guess the book will still be new and fresh and full of surprises then. (Whenever I get around to reading it that is. LOL)

Dude, I've never even considered trying WoW, but you guys are making me curious! 

I think I'll just stick to the Sims.  It's not like I need another game addiction.   :P
