Star Trek parody uses characters from The Sims 3

If you can actually make these sort of videos in The Sims 3 (which comes out next week!!!), then I think I’ll have fun playing it.

The Sims 3 for Mac/Win leaked early!

The next installment of one of the most successful game franchises ever has just been leaked about 2 weeks ahead of its release date.

That’s right, The Sims 3 is now available as a torrent. The group responsible for the leak is RELOADED who, I believe, were also responsible for Spore’s early leak onto the internet. Oh well, can’t keep everything under wraps…

See the NFO files at The Pirate Bay and Mininova and get “testing”.

Somebody at Electronic Arts is hearing it right now I’m sure.

The Sims 3 will be released on June 2

Here’s the official box art for The Sims 3 on PC and Mac. Electronic Arts announced yesterday that the game will be released on June 2. CNET is saying that the game will be out first on PC and then subsequently on Mac, iPod touch, and iPhone, but I have reason to believe that the game will launch worldwide on all intended platforms on the same date.

Anyway, mark the date, June 2 is the day nobody will do any work.

Posters show how many 3.5″ floppies it would take to install today’s software

I’ve posted stuff from ANTREPO before (containers and movie posters) and now I’m doing it again because this one is too good to pass up.

For $120, you can buy a limited edition set of 4 posters that illustrate how many 3.5″ floppies it would take to hold today’s software. As an example, ANTREPO has used The Sims 3, Firefox 3, Adobe Photoshop CS4, and iTunes 8; all considerably very large programs to begin with.

While it’d be nice if ANTREPO actually recreated the total amount of disks needed rather than just showing a few disks with a total number count, I think these posters are very good looking. Man, imagine having to insert and eject 1700+ disks just to install The Sims 3!

Palin and Biden duke it out in this Sims 3 video

October 31, 2008 @ 9:07 pm

Electronic Arts made this election coverage video using characters in the upcoming Sims 3 game. Kinda funny if you ask me, although Biden does have a bit too much hair here.

Anyway, The Sims 3 is set to be released on February 20, 2009. That date can’t come soon enough!
