Damn it, Toby!

No, self, you do not, in fact, need Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. You don't even really want it. The amount of dying a player who's actually good at that kind of game does would leave you in tears. This is what the Let's Play is for (or at least part of what it's for in this case): all the pretty (for a given value of pretty) with none of the stress or, for that matter, the expense.

And when do you think you're going to have time to play it, huh? Look at what you're already juggling. Also, take a good long look at Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment and Neverwinter Nights, moldering away to this day.

And think of all the bugs!

Stick to Sims, when you have time. Give those Sims names like Heather and Alistair if you must (doesn't Camarilla sound like a nice and froofy name for a girl?), turn those Sims into Simly vampires if you must, but step away from the Steam website (and what if it asplodes at some point after you plunk down those twenty bucks, huh? Where'll you be then?).

At least give it a month, self. Then we'll see if we can discuss things in civilized fashion.

At least, it sounds froofy to my untrained ear. Kind of like "Camille" but fancified. Maybe I could put her in a family that all has names like Chlamydia and Torquemada, boost my Sim-torment ratio some. XD

I haven't gamed for a while, so I'm tormented by the idea that I've subconsciously developed a more laid-back attitude to Game Over screens. I don't want to realize anew, twenty dollars later, that that's not the case (and it being Steam, I can't even try to fob it off on my siblings).
