Examiner – The Sims: not child’s play A new article popped up from Examiner by VRevis about the many people that make up the community and how they differ from fans that play other games.* A portion from the article: Simmer BoilingOil made an interesting observation on simbology that dispels the myth of “gaming” and computers, in general, as being a “boys’ club”. He explains, “Computers were long considered to be ‘guy stuff’. But the Sims have a HUGE fan-base among the female population of this planet. And not only for playing, but for custom content creation as well! There’s some magnificent female modders out there. Computing is no longer a guys-only domain!” When put on the spot to name her PC specs, the Cuppa Joe member’s response was immediate: “AMD Turion II Ultra Dual Core Mobile M60 2.5 GHz, 4 GB RAM, HD Radeon 4200 Mobility graphics card.” She didn’t stop there. “[My desktop PC] is AMD A2 processor 2.6 GHz. 4 GB RAM, Radeon HD 3850 graphics card, running XP and built by my own two hands.” Yes, that’s right; SHE built it herself. full article here
