How cool is that?

For a developer to recognize the people who love their game by inviting them over to try it out and provide input.

It actually looks like the improvements are quite large actually. I haven't properly played The Sims since the original and I think I got burned out on that one but I'll still be picking this up to see what they've done. Most of the improvements seem really cool and propably something they couldn't have done in the past due to hardware limitations.

Never really got into this shit. My old roommate used to play it all the time and the lack of actual voices in the voice work gets reallyyyyy annoying. I do find it to be really cool that they brought all those creators out to help the development process.

LoL, Sims.  Rock on you shiny diamonds!  Not the game for me, but looks well done.  Have fun.

How cool is that?
For EA to realise they can capitalise on a shed load of 'cred' and advertising using the players?

I'm a sucker for The Sims, so I'll be getting this eventually. From what I've heard, less bathroom time.

Nicer, better looking game overall, jus not a game for a person who doesn't like to custom-make everything.

But hey, I can change!

Hmm... I saw PS3s in the video (though they were off). I wonder if they're really gonna push shared content on consoles, like EA originally planned years ago.

Gotta say, though I haven't enjoyed sims since the original (Sims 2 just felt like more of the same to me) this one, with all the customization, looks like it would be a lot of fun.  People love that customization and this looks to be pretty much the ultimate in that department.

Drinking game:

"exciting" = 1 drink
"awesome" = 1 drink
any word with the root "create" = 2 drinks (creator, creation, creative, etc)

Woot!

I'm a sucker for the Sims, but Simlish really is annoying.

Oh, and with all the money I saved by not buying those damn expansions and content packs for the Sims 2, I can easily afford this one.
