Ah I love the smell of new games! The gifts that keep on giving!

Well I finally got around to opening Into the Future. I've looked it everyday and told myself to install it, but then I got distracted by the other game I have now in my possession. I start off my days burying myself into Animal Crossing, then I usually jump into a game of Pokémon Y and then the final game to end the day is the EPIC Walking Dead! OMG, the addiction I have with these games is absolutely insane!

It's here! It's here! Merry Christmas everyone!!!

 

Merry Christmas all and Happy Holidays! Stay safe and have fun unwrapping those gifts! :)

Hello all! Need your help with two things! :)

1. Is my banner in the middle on here? From my view it is, but when I steal...er I mean borrow my Dad's new cell phone it's way off on the side when I view it on there. I will try to fix it if it's not mid way on your side of the computer screen.

2. I have a poll! Pick Vidkid20's Sim Lair next design theme! This X-mas theme can't stay up forever! lol The background, the banner, and all the little details will be based on the winning choice! Whatever you choose, I'll make it happen.

And that is all I need from you. xD Please take a look at the newly redesigned Vidkid20 Customs while you at it.  Not exactly what I wanted design wise, but I'm too lazy to do it over again and I like how bright it is. Plus that design idea is in the new poll, so maybe I'll get to do it anyway. :)

The new banner is suppose be a representation of my workshop for sim making by the way. ;P

Check it out! I added two sims there. I have ideas for two new sims already.

 Here's the link again: http://vk20customs.blogspot.com/ 

I was feeling festive!

*points to blog*

I was too lazy to make a banner from scratch, so I went with the next best thing. Everyone's favorite sweater! Enjoy gazing upon it's beauty! :)

Nighty night for now. More later.

Well it was the perfect date till the end...

Well I decided to send two of my sims on a very 3rd extravagant date as I wanted them to become a official couple on this evening. I planned everything perfectly for the two former besties. They first went to a karaoke bar, sang some tunes, and then played pool. Then they went for a hot air balloon ride and drank some nectar.

 After that, they went out to eat at a fancy restaurant as it snowed. It was beautiful, but very cold.

 They went home shortly afterwards to cuddle up in front the fire. Then as they gazed into each other eyes and decided to agree to officially become an item, this happen...

I then proceeded to laugh hysterically. Fireplaces seem to love me. BEST DATE EVER! Well I ended the date as I figured the two weren't going be in the mood anymore. Funny enough, the game actually ranked the date as great. Guess their love was burning hot. xD

 

P.S. Ethan (the sim on fire) also got abducted the night before. Lucky guy... 

The Walking Dead: Thoughts on Gov & the S4 Mid-Season Finale

 

S**t got real! Damn them for taking another mid-season break!

As always...Spoiler Alert! Spoilers coming after this point!

Things didn't get better. I caught the flu....

Yeah I've been on bed rest for about week now? The day after I made my last post, I came down with the flu and felt like grimmy himself was about visit me. Then that coming on top what I already was dealing with, I was pretty much f**** up! I'm still spitting up green stuff. Coughing it up anyway, as my asthma is even back. I haven't had asthma attack in years, so I wasn't really prepared for that either. I had to make use of the inhaler I did have. As for work, I'm kind of on sick leave. I'm probably going have to find another job though. I did NOT plan on leaving this soon and was looking forward to seeing what the holiday rush was about, but I've been in no condition to do anything. My grandmother had to call in for me even. I was that messed up!

While I am still coughing and my breathing slightly off, but I'm alive enough to type this. I keep beating myself up over the fact I couldn't go into work. I really feel horribly guilty for getting sick at the worse time. :(

Currently juggling my heath and my job at slave-mart...

Well if you haven't my seen chat box, I had to go the ER just recently. I don't take joy into going to the ER. If I'm not curled up dying on the floor, I would rather skip going there and spending my life sitting in a waiting room. So my recent health scare was bad enough I had to call out of work and go. I don't want to go into details as it's a gross subject and I would like to get a complete diagnose before making everyone worried, so I'm not going speak on it much at the moment.

This is coming at very bad and awkward time for the job though. That being we have a new head manager and the holidays. I have to work on Thanksgiving for most the day. From Wednesday to Friday, I got to work 2 to 11. I really don't appreciate having to work on Thanksgiving. They should ask someone who needs the money more and has the time to do it. I don't even have the energy to do it now. I don't know how I'm going get through those days in my current state really. My stomach among other things kind of drains any patience or care to do my job properly. Walking around and standing on my feet all day with an annoying nagging pain sucks! Tylenol didn't even really help me today. (I stayed home today by the way.)

Then it's the attitudes of the managers that is just making me feel even worse. The day I went to the ER, one manager asked me to come in early and sounded more disappointed than anything that I wasn't going be able to come in. Then the next day I came in (didn't want to) and they ask me if I wanted to come in on my off day to make up time. I knew they would ask that, but just automatically thought I was magically better for some reason. Today though just pissed me off beyond belief. Unfortunate, but still pretty sh**y of him. It's a job, but I really wish they would take more consideration that their employee aren't f'ing robots. Well I called in again today a little too late for the new manager liking and dickhead put an infraction on my record. For one I had went into a long explanation about my health, medicine and even told him my issues since Mr. Nosey asked, but after telling him all that crap he decided to quote the rules to me and said it would be a write up. The last thing I need to hear is the f'ing rule book and my record when my stomach is hurting and I woke up out my sleep to call you! You f'ing asshole! I might as well had kept sleeping as it's basically consider a no show now. Thanks dickhead for wasting my time! It took him 10 mins just for his old ass to answer! I wanted to politely kick him in his face through the phone, but that is physically impossible unfortunately. *pouts*

I really can't see me working there long. They may fire me before I quit, but either way I really could care less. I'm scared and worried about f'ing self right now. I could have a serious illness and they wouldn't give a f***, so their needs are not a concern for me. Heck a cashier fainted once and they asked her to come in the next day anyway, so I shouldn't be surprise. The HR manager did tell the annoying new guy recently that a lot of the people who he had been working there already when he started are going be gone soon. Don't know why she told him, but I fit into that category. I got yelled at the day before heading to the ER for not maintaining my section to their liking and the new guy does my section more than me, so I don't feel too secured. If they going fire me though, I wish they would just get it over with and let me have my Thanksgiving. If I knew I could find a job after my health stuff is over with, I would quit now. I'm starting to hate that store...

Still Simming. Still causing drama in Midnight Hollow. lol

No, I don't have Into the Future...yet, but still playing the game when I can. I also manage to get my screen size settings just right, so my graphics are back looking crisp.

 

Helga isn't very happy to find out her sister fancies her husband.

Vid & Ethan - N.ecro.phobia / Zombies

 Vid you'll be styling and overcoming your Phobia of dead things! This will be a challenge for Ethan but he must show this fear styled as one of the living dead or even the master of the living dead! 

I always thought death was the ultimate demise. Just the thought of that darkness when closing my eyes at night terrified me. The fear of never waking up was a nightmare that followed me constantly! So when I died I felt the fear and then I saw nothing, but then something happen. I felt every fiber in my body move again and I had a hunger that couldn't be tamed. Then I open my eyes, smelt the rotten flesh, and saw the inside of a coffin. I shrugged it off as if it was nothing and made my escape through the dirt and the mud. I made it above feeling nothing. Not even the fresh air matter now. All I could think about was the smell of living flesh before me and the moans of my brothers behind me awakening from their eternal sleep. I felt empowered and I had no fears as I watched each corpse raise. All I felt was the urge to kill every single living thing before me. I had indeed became my fear. Death became me!   

Walking Dead: Carol, The Gov, and other stuff...

 

*Major spoilers ahead! S** about to hit the fan!*

I'm on a retail rollercoaster! lol (Yes another work post)

First of all, I can't believed I missed wishing everyone here a Happy Halloween! My apologies. :( I had to work that day actually. Kind of glad Halloween is over since I was often in charge of keeping that section clean. I didn't mind it at the beginning, because it was hella funny at night when we would try to scare our fellow employees with some of the stuff over there, but then it got really annoying fast. The customers for one would just come in and literally throw costumers all over the place. Then of course we would have to pick them up. It also didn't help that it was millions of them everywhere!!! Agh!

PHOßIA: Assignment 4 Pic+ Scores *SEMI-FINAL*

Once this over, I'm taking a break. I joined this comp when I only a few hours of work, but it's starting to be a bit overwhelming with all the extra hours. *sigh* I'm so close to the gold, so I can't quit now!

Part 1: Picked Hoplophobia and my era was the roaring 20's

In another life Ethan was a hit man in the roaring 20s. They called him the fixer, but he had long retired for mysterious reasons. So when they called him back to take out one last hit, he refused. Then things got nasty. They kidnapped his girlfriend and threatened her life, but he was afraid. No these thugs didn't faze him much. He was use to this type, but it was the very thing that he had come to be known for. The gun that sat before him. He could barely look at it now. Just the sight of it had him frozen in fear. His pretty girlfriend's life was definitely in danger.

 

Part 2: Picked Johnny Depp for my celeb and his fear of clowns 

Numeric scores are being withheld for the finale

Life so far as an employed person...

I really wish I had some sim related to post, but I'm not going have anything till tomorrow or sometime this week probably. Well you see I'm going play the actual game tonight, so maybe some pics. The only problem is my graphics card wanted me to update it's drivers or something and that again changed the game's screen size. Everything look all stretched out now. I kind of hate looking at it. I'm going google and fiddle with it, but I may have to just put up with it.

Besides that work is alright. Every so often I'll have a panic attack and then everything seems to go back to normal once I see I have nothing to really worry about. Some of my co-workers do tend gossip about people (mostly the females) and that sometimes gets me thinking about what they think of me. Then that just leads me to panicking and not wanting to be around them. It just bring up old memories and fears in me for some reason. They probably do talk about me, but I really need to stop worrying about that kind of stuff. I did have this one girl that ignores me and then gave me some funny looks when I was speaking with someone, but I really could care less! If she wants to play high school, she can go right ahead! lol

Of course I didn't miss WALKING DEAD SEASON 4!!!!!

It's back! It's back! It's bacccckkkkk!!!!! :D

PHOßIA: Assignment 3 Pic+ Scores

Note: The order of the assignments here was listed wrong. This is actually the 3rd assignment. The first picture I did for this was actually a mock assignment and not A1. Oops. It's all fixed and in order now.  >_<

A3-HYDROPHOBIA
I was never afraid of water before. While I was opposed to taking baths some days water was never a problem. When I got a offer to go on vacation with a few friend, I jumped at the chance. So I ended up in another horrible forest again, but the cabin and crystal clear water was too tempting to give up. Plus it was free.

After a few days of hiding in the cabin, I looked at the forest dead on and jumped right into the small dingy we set up on the lake. As they paddled along, I felt myself relax for once and fell asleep. I figured why not get a few nods in while my buddy tries his best to get laid. As I slept I heard nothing and it was turning out to be one of the best naps I've had in awhile. Then I opened my eyes and saw the horror. Blood everywhere and friends afloat. I stood up trying to make sense of the matter. "Was I dreaming?" One would hope so. As the boat suddenly started sinking, I saw the hand of a living corpse reach out to me. "This has to be a dream right?" One would pray it was. I'll never look at water the same again.   

PHOßIA: Assignment 2 Pic+ Scores

Sorry guys. I've been a bit too busy to post anything new. The job has picked up quite a bit with the holidays upon us. I also had go out today to buy something for my Dad's b-day. Anyway, I have manage to stick it out in this competition. Don't know how long I can do it though.

CHALLENGE WINNER - VID

Congratulations an extra 2 points will be added to your score!

I got 2nd for the main part this round.

My first game in Midnight Hollow. Just a few pics...

She watches you when you're sleep. o_o

My new family. Tim Burton would be proud. Either that or he will find me to quite demented. I'm ok with either of those thoughts. ;)

Ok, I've cheered up now!

1. Adorable guy at work said more than one word to me. Not sure if he accidently bumped into me or was purposely looking for me, but hehehe...

 I won't disappoint myself again tho.

 

2. Because I was gifted Midnight Hollow!!!!!! AHHHHH!

You know who you are!

Like that really put me in a good mood. I went into work smiling for once. Thank you. :)

Caption this? Ok! "Drawing the nude!"

Nick: "Yep. That's what you look like when you're naked. Like a homeless sim asking for change. By the way take a bath...."

 

I'm still not myself entirely, but maybe this will help....

I've been feeling kind of depressed lately. I thought I might got over my social awkwardness and gain some confidence, but I'm finding it difficult to talk to people at work. I don't relate. I feel like I'm from a different planet from most of them and my mind just seems like it can't function properly when I have to socialize. Customers make it even worse, because I then have to come up with an answer to their problems right on the spot. If everything was like online when you could take your time formulating your thoughts and answers, I would be great. Why can't rl be like online? Ugh. I just suck at talking. I don't even know how to be me around people, because I'm f'ing mess.

Waaaa I don't wanna work this weekend. Not after making this hottie!

*clickable*

Is it possible to marry pixels? He's nameless at the moment, but he's going be my new werewolf. :P

 

Sorry for the lack of post by the way. I was kind of down in the dumps and had a minor annoyance in my game, but I'm good now. Can't wait for Monday when I'm off. I'm going to movies Monday too to see Insidious 2. I saw the first one recently, so I'm dying to see what happens in the next one. It's so freaking creepy and awesome! :)

PHOßIA: Assignment 1 Pic+ Scores

 

I always hated his pet snake! My roommate was a kindred spirit and an addict of sorts. He had a strange fixation with exotic reptiles. I think he preferred them over the company of humans. When I started staying in his cramp apartment, I use to watch his most prized snake slither around the aquarium he kept it in. I'm sure it was illegal as big it was, but he had a way of getting such horrid creatures. I kept far away from it as much I could. The thought of it eating living and breathing mice made me sick. So when did I add the fear of snakes to my list of issues? The day I walked in and saw it had escaped. I could of swore it got bigger! HELP!    

What the plumbob am I up to?

Simming! Yes. I haven't had any real pictures to share. I started up a new Uni game with two of my favorite male sims and I'm in the process of giving them complete makeovers. I thought I was done, but I went on a CC binge. Yeah I fell off the wagon finally. My guys definitely need clothes. My girls too, but the guys needed a fashion emergency!

While I'm on that subject, all my sims will be getting upgraded and tweaked at some point. I also going work on making some new sims as well for download. I've made models, but I haven't took time in CAS just to make a sim for no reason. I want to get back to that. I'm feeling very inspired, so hopefully I can fulfilled that promise. My sims have been looking very plain to me lately and I want to spice it up. I want more different, bold, and realistic sims. I already downloaded different default eyes and skin that look much more detail. The clothes I've downloaded kind of reflect my new sense of fashion for them too. Still rock&roll, but with rave-ish, punkish, urban, and bright vibe. I guess that's a way describe it, but no matter I'm going start getting back to living in CAS in between playing.

As for playing the actual game, I had to abandon my IP soap opera with my scuba diver, Sebastian. I don't know if the new patch will make a difference, but it became unplayable as time went on. The game crashes 1 min into playing. As soon he starts moving around, it takes me back to desktop and gives me an error message. It really pisses me off. I had the craziest storyline going on for that game! I guess I should be glad it's just that one save file right now, but it's downright irritating to abandon something I put so much work into. Going wait for Twallan and see what I can do before deleting it permanently.

Once I feel comfortable with my game again and everything seems stable enough, I'm going try playing around Monte Vista and create a handsome werewolf. He's going a bit more of a man whore unlike my scuba diver. I plan on having him sleep with everything that moves and at night have him attack the town's people (with aid of a mod). I got that idea at work oddly. lol Well I did buy Monte Vista with my paycheck, so I guess they relate. ;)  I also plan going get back to my SN household as well. I've been kind of nervous going back to that since it's probably my biggest save file, but I want to see the little one grow up.

So yeah that's it for now. When I get a chance and finish perfecting my cc folder, my customs blog is getting another makeover. I'm not liking the recent look anymore. Bleh.

The latest TS4 rumors: No CAST? My thoughts...

CAST= Create A Style Tool

Well the latest rumor and debate on the Sims 4 forum has been the lack of CAST in the game. So far it looks like EA will not be adding such a feature and players will have to rely on preset colors. From speculation and debate, it appears that with the new emotion feature makes it almost impossible to have patterns or anything that isn't a preset color. Well it makes it impossible for EA, because you know damn well they are too damn lazy to make anything work. Still having emotions connected to colors presents a problem for the coding of the game. The color red for example might give a sim a feeling of confidence, while the color blue might make another sim sad. If patterns or a custom color from the color wheel is thrown in that can easily confuse the game and cause errors. This can be tweaked as colors do have hex codes and can be programed to relate to certain ones. Will EA do this? Who knows! If they don't, I have a good reason I will mention that later.

Yet again I got tricked into watching the sucky VMAs!

Warning: I did curse a little. Naughty me!

I f'ing hate the VMAs now! I thought it was a popular contest last year, but they literally just gave away every f'ing award to same talentless idiots!

Robin Thicke lost to 1D for Blurred Lines for song of the summer?! Are they smoking crack? They got to be smoking something tonight. I seriously wanted to do a Kanye and run up on stage. What fuckry was that?! I'm not even a fan of his like that, but it was the freaking song of the summer! Then Miley dumb stupid ass shaking around like a damn slut ruining the damn performance. Bitch get out the way!

I wish someone would tell Taylor Swift and her dumb bestie Selena to sit their asses down too! I'm so tired seeing them dance around in the audience at every award show. Sit the fuck down please!

Then Justin Timberlake took up a hour of the show doing the same crap and gave his old group 5 mins of spotlight. lol It took 20 mins just for Jimmy Fallon to shut the fuck about him. Gawd! You would think he was in love with him?! Geez!

Macklemore won best rap? ....No comment. Thrift Shop still makes me want to strangle him! lol

As for everybody else, meh they were alright. Kanye Trashdasian ...er I mean West jumped around screaming and Lady Gaga did her usual. I did think Bruno Mars deserved more props! Thankfully he got one award at least! Shot out to Daft Punk and Pharell too. They got robbed as well!

And what the hell happen to the dance music section of the show?!

Nothing spectacular! It was yet again boring! I enjoyed the new special episode of Catfish today better than the show. OMG that was freaking intense and crazy! I also think Nev and Max are adorable. Squeeee! :P

They should come back to Maryland and visit me. xD

Well that was an unfortunate Meet & Greet!

Dying right now. No pun intended, but ROFL! Started up an Uni save with two of my favorite male sims and this happened...

Death by soda machine?!

 Grimmy was nice enough to pour out a soda in his honor. For all his dead homies!

Well Mikey won't have to worry about Nick cheating off his paper anytime soon! :P I went from being in total shock to laughing so hard. OMG! I won't try the "slam the soda machine" interaction anymore. Glad I saved before that. Geez! LOL! 

I do have one thing I like about TS4...

I like CAS. Yes. I want them to make available to download, so I can play with it. Other than that after they get out of CAS, TS4 is a total turn off. Something about them in-game just seems so cheesy and fake. The facial expressions for one drive me insane and the hair! But this specific CAS shot makes her look kind of real. Could be just my eyes though or EA brainwashing me in some ways. Noooo I will not join the dark side! *runs off to play TS3*  o_o

Oh and one other thing I notice, the female faces looks way better than the males. Hopefully that's not true, but if so poor guys!

All their faces look the same like TS2.

 

But I'm thrilled as you can see. Ugh...

 

P.S. It's not just the faces, but the whole look is a downgrade.

Sims 4: My thoughts on the graphics...

If you're expecting a lengthy discussion about the gameplay and how gameplay is more important than plastic cartoony graphics, please turn away now! You're bound to get your feelings hurt! Yes, I am one those vapid gamers who can care less about an game with s*** graphics. I also was one those shinning simmers who expected more.

Rant time!!!

PHOßIA: Mock Pic+ Scores

 

 This stinking shed use to be my salvation. A place I hid away from the fights, the yelling and the constant pain my dad use to put us through. I was a different person back then though and things quickly changed. My dad had became more and more disturbing as time went on. This shed became his twisted workshop and I was forbidden to go in. The day I got locked inside was the day I figured out why. The darkness, the smell of rotten animal flesh, and the cramp space burned into my brain. I can remember it like yesterday. The screeching of the door locking behind me sill haunts my dreams. "I WANT OUT! I CAN'T MOVE! I CAN'T BREATH!" I want out of this recurrent nightmare, but the fear still holds me here in this small stinking shed. You can just add it to the list of my many fears.

As the Tide Turns: A gift worth getting... *plays dramatic music*

Sebastian, our handsome scuba diver is still seeing his married lover. He took her up on her invitation to her gift giving party.

He enter the house not knowing her husband would be there or what he looked like....

Shark Attacks and Underwater Affairs!

Well things have been going pretty well with my game. IP has been a more layback experience, but some randomness has threw me a very interesting storyline I plan on sharing in this post. Bwhahaha!

 

Sebastian is still working on his scuba diving skills. He found some buried treasure, which proved to be loaded with quite a few gems.

 Along with selling fish, he should be able to afford a bigger houseboat soon.

A small update on recent events

I've joined another competition after I swore down I was taking a break. I started feeling really creative all the sudden and I just wanted to get my mind off of work. I already finished the mock assignment, so it's not going  be a problem. It's just 1 comp, so not really worried about it getting in the way. It's something to do when I'm off and don't feel playing sims or when I need to get some adult angst out. lol

 

http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/180/698617.page

I see one little touch up I could of done, but I'm really happy with it.

 

As for work, I'm feeling better about it. I'm just kind of annoyed and confused now. I had to work this weekend and other people were in charge. A higher up boss over HR and a supervisor. I'm still learning their titles. lol Anyway, they both were quite happy with my work. They said everything looked neat. Now when I go back tomorrow, my HR manager will probably say something different. I hope not, because then I'm going start asking questions and trying to figure out WTF is wrong with my work in her eyes. Meh, I'm going work around going to her for stuff if she keeps at it. Her boss was a lot more pleasant. I'm also working with newly stocked up merchandise, so maybe now I can keep things in order.

I'm working every other night this week till 10:30, so I'll be here every other day.

 

IP pics will be next, if I can get some simming time in today. :)

Job rant: 3 days and 9 hours each of bumnuggetry!

Couldn't think of a title, so I felt like MareNesting my title! Bwhaha! I've worked 9 hours for 3 freaking days! Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....*breathes* Thank God I'm off tomorrow and Friday!

So this week has been a very crappy sucky hurtful week. I don't know what I did to deserve such treatment at my workplace, but it open my eyes to how hurtful and petty people are at jobs.

It started yesterday. I saw 2 of my co-worker fixing up the shelves and putting up new merchandise in my aisles. I offer to help, because they were in my aisle. One of them is really nice, but the other is nasty b****.  I assumed she was ok at the time, but she proved to me she's a bitter toerag! She immediately start sprouting out instructions for me to do and I was extremely confused.  Now I could of lied and acted I knew everything, but I figured this stupid woman would help me and explain sh*t to me. Nope. Instead she told me to go straighten up stuff and to basically get away from her from the way she was looking at me. She instantly became annoyed with me and didn't explain anything.

Vid! You have done an amazing job throughout this competition. You should feel very proud of yourself. This was a close call, only .5 made the difference. I was not originally going to give anything to the runner up, but because of how close it was, I have decided to present this siggy to you:

Yay! I came in 2nd again. I lost to the same person. LOL
