Ep.23 – Is This The Real Life? Is This Just Fantasy?

Dave and Rob travel back to the year 2000 to talk about the Sims. Exploring the development of the Sims leads to an educational discussion on pattern languages and psychological theories, both of which were inspirations for this series. With today's lesson out of the way, the boys talk about their own experiences losing hours to the Sims, while also sharing stories about how you feel about the game. Dave quizzes Rob on words in the Simlish dictionary, and the boys read horrific stories found online related to The Sims. Finally, the question of the week has the boys admitting whether or not they've played hookie to play a video game. Who's the real hardcore gamer between the two? Find out on this week's trip down Memory Card Lane.
