Absurdity at its finest.
Out of nostalgia, I recently picked up a copy of the original Sims PC game. As most do, I took the traditional route of implanting myself in the game so that I could live out my materialistic fantasies of owning an expresso machine. After outfitting my house with an excessive amount of bookshelves and ceramic tile, I instructed my little avatar to find a job on her archaic (yet affordable) computer. I immediately found a job as a typesetter, which having played the game before and knowing how the job system worked, sounded to me like a career path in journalism. I happily accepted the job and a car picked me up the next morning. Having spent the first two days in my home practicing speech, it was no surprise when my little avatar got promoted, and I saw the screen you see above.
I found it quite… absurd. I wonder if my avatar is in the Cataclysm beta before me?
Recently I've been getting back into the swing of WoW.com writing. I'm going to again try and write at least one Breakfast Topic per week (I have another one going up tomorrow) and at least 1 extra feature a month.
The Blizzard fiction entry is outlined, I just need to play through a campaign or two for a refresher on the mood of a particular scene I want to write about. This of course requires that I find a Warcraft III disc somewhere… Wish me luck!
