ink_sec_simsHappy New Year! I bring you a rather quiet update from our two Turret boys.
Morning for the Turrets -- Steve watching TV while Gary eats leftover sandwiches. ADVENTURE HO!
Steve: Put 'er there, best buddy, old pal!
Gary: *thinking* He's WAY too excited about this. . . .
ZZZZZZAP!
Steve: I can't believe you fell for that!
Gary: Yeah, yeah, you're hilarious.
Gary: HOLY SHIT STEVE WHAT THE HELL IS THAT
Steve: WHOA WHAT WHERE
SPLOOOOOSH!
Gary: Now that's hilarious!
Steve: Okay, you're good.
Steve & Gary, ladies and gentlemen.
The boys decide to get down to business -- Steve takes his turn working on the car. . . .
While Gary gets a Gamer job!
Gary: All right! Paid to play video games! Steve's gonna be so jealous.
Steve gets his comfort up while Gary chats with Cheshire. "Anti-aircraft weapons? Actually, I don't remember Aperture ever getting that far."
Gary: Of course, the real benefit to being fleshy is finally getting to have a proper sex life. Having access to all the porn sites on the web doesn't mean much without a wiener.
Steve: Dude, normally I wouldn't mind, but I'm trying to have a sandwich. Also, we STILL don't have wieners, we're Sims.
Gary improves his mind while Steve naps. I'm a little surprised chess actually counts for the Gaming hobby rather than Science, since it builds Logic, but yeah, it IS a game. And it got them a subscription to the magazine, so that's nice.
Me forcing the boys to be a little mushy. Hey, they ARE best friends. Neither would know what to do without the other, honestly.
Gary decides to work on the car while Steve heads off into the exciting realm of fast food.
Gary: Okay, the back lights are on and we've sanded out the worst of the rusty spots. How long until we get to throw wheels on this thing and actually drive it?
I don't know, there's no progress bar.
Gary: God damn it.
Gary tries to read about the secrets to Lifelong Happiness, but his uncomfortable chair and lack of attention span do him in shortly.
Steve's attempt after he gets home is more successful -- of course, he's happy already because of a promotion to Shift Manager, plus he has a better (and newly purchased) chair. (Seriously, that thing is a 7 on the comfort scale -- and the next more expensive one is a 5.)
We end with Steve chatting with Lakshmi. "Snow? No, haven't seen any signs of it. It seems to rain a hell of a lot around here, though." (It does, too. I don't think I've played a family yet that hasn't experienced one rainstorm.)
Okay, yeah, that wasn't particularly interesting. But today is the day I decided was their birthday, so suffer through it, will ya?
Don't worry, though -- next update, we return to EMMETT BROWN, TECHNO-WARLOCK!
