The Sims 3 Is a Terrifying Nightmare World
Shudder. I know The Sims is more or less the most popular videogame on the planet, but I wonder if that will still be the case when Sims 3 comes out. As this French ad implies, it’s a surreal nightmare world straight out of David Lynch’s frontal lobes, full of farting men with tiny mustaches, blonde bimbos making out with incredibly elderly men, cruelty to children, horrible obesity and more. And I thought it was bad when the could just wet themselves and get electrocuted in a puddle of their own pee.
Hmm. Well, I guess that’s pretty fucked up too.
