You know how awesome it is when you notice one of the in-jokes in the game? Well, I was all smiles over the Barrett family on Wanmami Island. I ended up with an ear worm, and started singing that classic Stan Roger's favourite. When my SO asked me about it, I told him about the Barretts, who were privateers before they were shipwrecked, and he was pretty amused too. He was like, "Really? They really put that in there?" Yup, really. Well done, someone who worked on Sims 2 Castaway Stories. You're pretty rad.
Best pub song ever, by the way, even if it's a touch played out. I know I'll never get sick of it, anyway. (A friend of ours is in an Irish band and they performed it on George Street on New Year's Eve. We had a very good time.)
I'm really enjoying Castaway Stories, which was a gift from the SO. It's been filling the void left where another Sims 2 EP would be for me, and it's a whole lot of fun. Lots of great characters and just different enough to be interesting. The story mode is much what you'd expect it to be (and full of bugs), but a pretty good laugh anyway. And once the scripted stuff is over, the real fun begins in the sandbox, as we all know. ;)
Morag and Murray Barrett had a son, and I named him Elcid, in keeping with the theme. I guess they're pirates now instead of privateers, since their government funding would have dried up long ago, what with them going missing and all. (What? You mean you didn't learn the difference between a priate and a privateer in grade school? Where do you LIVE? :P)
In other news, I dropped all holiday posting for holiday travel (in case you hadn't noticed, heheh), and the flu continues to wreak havok on my system. Yesterday, I ended up in the hospital and had to get X-rays done to see if I'd coughed so much I'd broken a rib. It felt like it. Instead, it's merely a pulled muscle, but still hurts like hell, and I'm home on bed rest (complete with a "certificate of incapacity" — LOL — I want to frame it) for the rest of the week. Do yourself a favour and get the damn H1N1 vaccine if you haven't already, alright? This thing isn't worth messing around with, take it from me. Ouch!
