I'm a hip old granny who can hip-hop, bebop, dance til ya drop and yo yo, make a wicked cup of cocoa....actually, I think that's Mrs. Doubtfire. Nothing spectacular about myself - I'm the webmaster of this site. Just your ordinary average nerd who loves EA/Maxis Sim games, Ghostbusters, Doctor Who, Back to the Future along with a slight touch of redneck-ness by raising/owning mules and a Dukes of Hazzard fan. Hee-haw and yee-haw :)

Farmageddon – A frenentic farming game from Grant Rodiek
Feb 1st
Disclaimer: The post below has NOTHING to do with EA/The Sims Team or affiliated in any way, shape or form.
If you’ve followed the Sims series for some time, then Grant Rodiek’s name should be familiar to you. Outside of his daily job, he’s been working on a separate personal project and I’d like to take a moment and give him a hand to let you guys know about it. It’s called Farmaggedon, a card game in which you plant and grow crops for money. Watch the video below for how it works:
Being as this is a self-published game, it’s on Kickstarter right now, hoping to become a reality. They are hoping to reach a goal of $5000 by March 4, and currently (as of this post) they are $1600 in. If you have a couple of dollars and want to help Mr. Rodiek out, please consider pitching in a few extra dollars – even buy the game. Already put my donation in, hope you’ll do the same – Let’s show what the Sims community can really do, please spread the news around on your Sims site, forums, facebook page, twitter and any other means. Just be sure to note that it is NOT involved in any way with EA (legal issues, and all that fun stuff)
Uncut interview with Phreakindee of LGR
Jan 31st
I’m about 26 minutes in of this 40 minute interview conducted between RavenRage and Phreakindee (of Lazy Game Reviews). It’s most a bunch of random questions which stem from discussions about Maxis, Duke Nukem (with a great impersonation from LGR), how crammed his room is, and much, much more. Give it a listen if you have the time!

ActualidadSims – interview with producer Jennifer Lane on Master Suite Stuff
Jan 25th
One reason why I don’t do interviews – because when you have multiple sites doing them, you tend to answer the same questions and of course, get similar answers. But still worth reading, I suppose
In relation with the development process of this game, what is the most difficult part and what is the part that you most enjoy doing as a producer?
You’re asking some really good questions! And King likes it too, he’s happy that your asking me difficult questions. The most difficult part of development… I would say that’s the part when you’ve decided what you’re going to do, you know what you want to build, but you don’t have it in your hands yet so it’s in the stage were people are building things. Sometimes what you are expecting to see is exactly what you get, and sometimes is not because you come across a technical difficulty. So I think is that waiting period were you don’t know what’s going to happen.
But it’s the unknown part where I’m like: how is it gonna be? What is it going to really look like when you get in the game? For me that’s the most complex part. I think also the most difficult thing too is when we get an unexpected bug when we first put this in the game. Say you have a dresser, it’s a dresser, we know how those are going to act in the game. Every once in a while the way it’s built, it might be a litte bit too small, it might be too large and it’s going to cause this problem you never expected to see and that’s also kind of fun trying to figure that out and get that fix. Why is this happening, that’s very interesting for me.The most fun part is when I finally get to play with everything and test things and work with the team. My favorite part of development is working with other members of the team because as a producer I’m no longer building this stuff it’s the team and being able to work with them and see them build this stuff… The people on the team are just amazing, I can’t begin to tell you how talented and good people they are. That’s my favorite part of working on the team is being able to work with this people together.

Since I haven’t been 100% keeping track of the images posted from Master Suite Stuff, I’m not entirely sure these two are new. But they were just posted to the official Russian Sims 3 Facebook page, so I’ll take my chances.
