Welcome!

Like to play computer games? So do I. In fact, I play so many that I needed to start this blog so I have somewhere to put the reviews instead of cluttering the developers' site forums. Also here, you can find lists of online games, gaming sites, and lists of sites certain games are on.

I'd love to hear from you, so leave a comment or send me an email. ^_^

They're Baaack!

OMG, I'm so sorry for not updating in a while. Real life has been getting in the way, and virtual life has refused to be taken away from me. A couple of generations have passed in each family since my last update, so I'm here to fill you in! ^_^ I'll only be able to update this blog about once a week though.

VF: 1 - Cullen Family

Well, I think you all remember Rose and Emmett and their four kids - Carlisle, Julian, Moira, and Sean. Later, I think after Sean went to college, they adopted again. I named him Frances, but he didn't get to spend a lot of time with the couple. They died before he reached the age of ten.

Carlisle took over the house. And what was the first thing I saw when I clicked 'Adopt'? He adopted a little boy! I named Edward (how perfect is this?), and he got married right after that. Esme and Carlisle then had Alice, adopted Ben, and had Marc.

Now, Edward moved in and I found him (after 3 or 4 tries) a Bella. Now, here's the weird part, one of them said maybe to kids, and the other said they would be nice. A better match than I've had to deal with in past couples. Usually one or both say no way or not really. So why, then, was it such a pain for them to have kids??

They had E.J. (Edward Jacob). I wanted it to be a girl, but I thought it would be okay if the girl was second-born. Then they had Lex - they look like twins, but they're not - about eight years later. Some ten years after that, they were finally able to have the twins, Tom and Fallon! By this point I figured that they wouldn't have any more kids due to their ages and reluctance to do the dance. But I got lucky! When the twins were six, they adopted a little girl (named Kara) who I renamed Renesmee. ^_^

Bella died after Lex left. And Edward died a while later, just as the twins were going to college, leaving poor Nessie alone at 12. She's 13 now and I'll be starting the next gen to give her the house in a few minutes.


VF: 2 - Marcozo Family
Let's see ... Rowan and Melinda finally gave birth to my grandson, Nick. He was ugly, but oh well. When they died I gave the house to Selene. She married a guy I named Hugh (Jackman) and they had two kids. Pierre, and Marina (she's the first person in the VF whose name I didn't change!). It was clear through this whole generation that Marina was my favorite. She was so cute and playful. So when Selene and Hugh died, Marina moved in immediately.

After three rejected proposals, I was getting worried about her age (27) so I let her marry the next guy. His name was Marcozo, but in this family I've been naming the spouses after celebrities. And he looked so angry that all I could think about was Caius from the Twilight series. So ... Cai Marcozo was his name. They had Kristie, who I loved. Then the twins, Charlie and Ben, and for the heck of it, I let them have Katetta. The girls' names were not changed either. Later, just before Kristie left, I wanted to see if they were still able to have kids - they had Artemis (boy).

Marina eventually made Master (=D ). After Kat left for college, Cai died. A couple years later, Marina died, leaving Artemis alone at 17. I'll skip ahead to the next gen in a few minutes, giving the house to Kristie. I really did love the girls in this generation. The boys were nice too, but very ugly.


VF: 3 - Potter Family

James got the house, married Lily, and had Harry. Very straight-forward gen. Harry moved in (saying no way or not really) and married Ginny (same preference). They managed to have Lily Luna (whose adorable, but slow as a snail because she hates running), then Dora Ginny a few years later. After that, they refused to have any more. They were given the option of adopting a little boy though, which I jumped at. James Sirius has orange hair, so you'd think he actually was part of the family, but he's ugly.

It amazed me, after all the times that I've seen the desensityzation kit in stores, that it never came up while Lily Luna was living at home. The next time I saw it, I bought it right away, knowing she'd be the one to inherit the house. When I start her gen in a few minutes, that'll be the first thing I do.


VF: 4 - Winchester Family

After having Tony and Lucy, and adopting Nia, Dean & Anna had twin boys Bailey and Brent. And a couple of years later adopted Trisha. It's confusing why, with the exception of Tony, the biological kids are redheads, and the two adopted girls wound up with Anna's blonde hair. I wanted Nia to inherit the house, because I loved the way she looked, but I stuck with my 'eldest get the house' theme in this gen. Tony moved in. He married a pretty little blonde named Viva and they had Libra and Hank. I was happy with one boy, one girl. Libra will be moving in, in a few minutes.


VF: 5 - Montague Family

After Eclis and Akiana had their triplet daughters, Lina, Elsa and Roxy, I tried to give them a son. Instead, they had Beth. I thought I leave it at four girls. They decided to adopt a little boy named Zac, and then a little girl named Bell. Lina inherited the house and married Dorian Montague. By this point I'd heard about the famous alphabet challenge and decided to start it up with this family. So, cute little Bonny (whose name I thought fit her) was renamed Ashlyn. Her younger sister (of about 2 year) was called Annie. And when Lina and Dorian finally had a boy, I named him Allen. Lina will be taking over the house very soon.
