AaaaAAaa, Sims 3
I jumped off a few buildings today, this game is still confounding to me. It seems really great, but the controls are bendy and I still don’t know how to stick the landings. I’m also mad at this game for updating what has felt like a half-dozen times in the past couple of weeks, because Steam does so automatically when you sign in without bothering to tell you, which tanks my broadband because for some reason my Internet doesn’t understand how to multitask. And when I found out all these updates were for this lame Portal 2 potato ARG, I just got grumpier, because it meant it wasn’t a substantial or worthwhile upgrade. (Potatoes? Seriously?) But I did draw my attention to this game and got me to try playing it again, so…
Also booted up Sims 3, because I remember I went through a lot of effort to get it when it came out, and then completely forgot about it. My previous games were wiped when I switched computers, so I started a new town, and immediately grumped out when I found the customization options lacking. There were just not enough styles available, and every face looked the same to me, which I found terrifying.

What I Played Today: February 5
Crackdown 2, Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness, AaaaaAAaa…!!!
I got a ways in Crackdown 2 today, getting to the big islands with the tall buildings. The terrorists have really stepped up their game, with heavily armored juggernauts walking around with turret machine guns and rocket launchers. It’s kinda terrifying, and I got frustrated because I kept getting knocked around by these groups, but eventually I figured out I could just take one of the turret guns and mow down the jerks that way. I’m also finally up to full jump, but the buildings are still ridiculously tall. The center tower is almost unscalable even now.
I lost some time on the island. My tomatoes are taking too long. Summer is nearly half over and I still don’t have any tomatoes yet. It’s a bit obnoxious.
I also played AaaaaAAaa…!!! (name truncated) It’s a first-person base jumping game, in which the point is to jump off a building, fall past some buildings, and land safely on the ground after deploying your parachute blades. The game forgoes realism for crazy town, as all the buildings are floating suspended in the air. I keep breaking my neck because I haven’t quite figured out how the parachute works. But it’s pretty fun and a bit silly; the interface really lays on the kooky, with lots of colors and a weird cube grid for level selection. But it’s a pretty neat idea, a game in which the only point is to fall with style.
