The Sims: One of the Best Computer Reality Games

The Sims: The Best Alternate Reality World

For the past 10 years or more, a favorite past-time of many people has been video-gaming. The gaming industry has grown quickly through the years, and it continues to develop new technology that keeps our interest peaked. As I have grown up with several types of video games, such as Mario Brothers, Zelda, The Simpsons and Mike Tyson's Punch Out, there has been one game series that I have particularly grown fond of. While the older games are still favorite classics of mine, I do enjoy a newer series: The Sims.

I enjoy role-playing in video games. When you play The Sims, you can be anybody that you want. It allows you to create an alternate reality that you wouldn't normally live. If you are a neat-freak in your own home, you can let the trash pile up in your Sims home. Or, if have always dreamed of being a singer, movie star or even a hobo, it can happen in The Sims. The game allows you to make your dreams come true in a virtual reality.

As prices on food, fuel and utilities continue to rise, it becomes apparent to cut back in other parts of our budget. Sometimes those other parts that we have to cut back on include extra clothing, date nights, going out to eat, cell phone plans or cable television packages. As we begin studying our budget, one of the first "extras" that is usually first to go will be the cable television. While you may cancel with your company, there are still ways to enjoy television and movies without having to pay out a lot of cash.

Just because you don't have cable, doesn't mean that you won't be able to watch television. It's true that we no longer need a pair of "rabbit ears" for standard televisions. These days, we need an HD antenna. With an HD antenna, you can receive the free HD channels that are available in your area. Usually, most of these are the local stations in your area.
