Would you like to talk to a hamster?
Would you like to play at being a badger?
You must be a very bored little mammal.
Warning! Warning! Extremely recursive post-modernity alert:
Slice City is a series of add-ons for The Sims that allows your Sims to manage a miniature town of Lilluputian people, suspiciously similar to Sim City.
Last time I was in NYC, I queued for Supreme Dunks, which appear on the shelves only once in a blue moon. The queue is always packed with "re-seller scum" who plan only to sell the shoes on eBay. Rumours surfaced at Nike Talk on Friday that the shoes would appear again as a Valentine's treat.
Even as people began lining up down Lafayette St, prepared for a cold winter night on the sidewalk, debate raged on the forum as to whether the rumour was just a prank:
"If this is not, in fact, true, everyone who said it is true is getting banned. Period."
A quick perusal of eBay this afternoon, demonstrates that a lot of gullible sneaker freaks left their girlfriends alone on Valentine's morning, hoping for a $200 shoe that never showed up. If there is a lesson to be learned here, it's that girls deserve love more than shoes.
