I just bought Sims 2 Deluxe and Sims 2 Bon Voyage (the expansion pack). Sims is one of my all time favorite games. I had most of the expansion packs for the original Sims. And ALL the cheat codes I could find. My two favorites for the original Sims was: Rosebud;!;!;! This gave you money. Tons of money! The other was: move_objects. This lets you delete Sims and refresh them or delete trash, visitors, animals…whatever. I’m still getting the hang of Sims 2. The only cheat I’ve used so far is: motherlode. The money cheat of course. I gotta have the mula! I’m liking the Sims 2. Reason 1, you can have more than one story in your house. I have one house that goes up 4 stories but there’s barely enough room on each story for a bed. Reason 2, the Sims don’t have as much trouble walking around. The AI is better. They can figure out how to get around objects. Reason 3, you can buy a really cool car and drive it around. In the original Sims I use to have to use my move_objects cheat to steal the company car. If you have any cool screen shots you would like to share please contact me or send me a link. I would love to hear from my personal fans since we all know I’m the best CounterAgent ALIVE! Boom!

Sooooo….There’s this site called Viddler. I never heard of it until now. It’s a video sharing site, a lot like YouTube…and maybe even better. I see a lot of potential for this site.

“But Veda, why do you think it could be better than YouTube?” I knew you were going to ask. Well…come close…listin very carefully….You can comment on the time line. Yes, comment like you do on YouTube but these are like “LIVE comments” that pop up at the bottom of the screen on cue as the video plays. So you can comment on a specific part of the video. (Remember Pop-Up Video?) You have to check it out to really know what I’m talking about. But wait, that’s not the only thing. You can also add your advertisements on the videos. You do this through tags. Viddler will match up your advertisements to the tags that are in the timeline. So your advertisements will only show on relevant videos. Also, you only pay for your ads when someone actually clicks on the advertisement. Pay-Per-Click is what they call it. Pretty sweet huh? So check it out at www.viddler.com

The new Dewmocracy video (Mountain Dew) is incredible! Visit Dewmocracy, they are asking for our help to create a new Dew bottle, A new Dew flavor and SAVE THE WORLD.

But you’ll have to play the Dew games to do this, it consists of 7 chambers. Travel through these Chambers and complete a series of tasks and challenges. Now, this is the fun way to create a new drink. For example, my first chamber was to speak to the Great Turtle who asked me series of questions then I had an option to choose a flavor. My choice was Cranberrry Raspberry with a boost of Ginseng. One game in the same chamber is a little like minesweeper and the next was driving a cart on a rail while staying clear of falling stalactites. Yes it was cheesy but I’m up for any game you give me. So check it out at Dewmocracy.

Hey I stumbled upon a website with free flash games. They had a ton but the one I continued to play was Fancy Pants Adventure. Watch out for the angry penguin! (He thinks he’s a bull) It’s pretty easy to play and I like how you can slide down hills and run fast up curved walls like Sonic the Hedgehog or Mario. Except you can’t slide down and knock over the enemy. What’s up with dat? It’s still fun and a great way to pass time and I’m really good at that.

My favorite trick is the one he does with the iPhone. (I’m gonna get me one of those) Check him out at Virtual Magician. And after you watch the video with the iPhone magic, I’m guessing you’re gonna want to know where you can get those wacky magic gimmicks. I got u…Hottrix.

VoiceThread …. Love this….I should marry it! With Voice Thread you can comment using your microphone and webcam while controlling the playback of the video. No, that’s not all…you can doodle on the video too! Just like on football games gals!

OMG it’s another talk-to-the-camera comedy show. I love these! Clark Duke and Michael Cera are creators and stars of “Clark and Michael.” New episodes posted Wednesdays on www.Clarkandmichael.com. Clark also plays Dale on ABC’s “Greek” airing Fridays and Michael stars in “Superbad.” You may also remember Michael from one of the best canceled shows in the past few years, “Arrested Development”.

One of my favorite parts of “Clark and Michael” was episode 7 when they drop all the golf balls and just walk away. “711 would have been easier…” that was awesome, or the part when Michael was like…”I just wanna try it on!” These guys are so strange but they remind me of some of my minions so maybe that’s why I like it so much. N E Ways check them out and let me know what you think.

“The Guild” is a sitcom webisode about a group of online gamers in a WOW-esque world. That’s World Of Warcraft for the NOOBs. Created by and starring Felicia Day (the red head). If she looks familiar, that’s because she played Vi on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. “The Guild” is made up of hilarious online gamer stereotypes like the overzealous leader and the neglectful mother. (I loved the part with the baby chewing on the extension cord. Ha!) Oh and I have to say Zaboo is my favorite. His lines are ridiculous. I read that a lot of his stuff is improv. I dunno where he comes up with that stuff.Understand that this is 100% Geeky entertainment. Hands down. Prepare yourself.
The cast: Vincent Caso (Bladezz), Felicia Day (Codex), Jeff Lewis (Vork), Amy Okuda (Tinkerballa), Sandeep Parikh(Zaboo), Robin Thorsen(Clara)

What? Don’t tell me you haven’t seen the Hard At Work videos on YouTube. Where have you been….oh yeah…playing Call of Duty4…okay. Talking about 4…Episode 4 is my personal favorite. “Accounting, I love accounting 1-2-3-4-5…” It’s a little like The Office with the whole talking-to-the-camera thing. Love it, I’m a big Office fan and can’t get enough. Oh, and if you’ve checked out some of the episodes already, have you noticed all the Alienware in the background. They will neither admit nor deny any affiliation with Alienware.com. Hmmm…. Why are you still here?

Go watch it already http://www.youtube.com/user/itsnotyouitsmetv

I almost peed my pants watching these videos. They’re hilarious, edgy and clever. Some have said it reminds them of a modern day Monty Python… Hey, don’t look at me…I’m not a huge Monty Python fan but I absolutely loved these skits. “10 minutes of constant peeing!” ROFL If you don’t know what I’m talking about you have to check out the Peeing skit. Trevor Moore (head writer for WKUK) joined up with Sam Brown their first semester of college and created WKUK. Other members include: Zach Cregger, Timmy Williams, Darren Trumeter. WKUK has become one of the most successful features on www.Collegehumor.com. Trust me…you won’t be disappointed.
