Aarin’s Finding Lunar Lakes Zerging On The Ridiculous

Over at Aarin’s blog 6s & 7s, the Great Knit is still playing Sims 3, so it appears safe to say she’s returned to Simming – although she’s been encountering some family problems.

Just to rub it in, her Simmie son’s boobs are bigger than her simself’s. The sun shines east, the sun shines west, but we know whose mammeries are best – not Mammy’s!

As well as having to keep abreast of these problems, she was also having trouble with her pussy.

The explanation proved to require a new train of thought.

Now you know who that random mugger in the subway is as well!

There was however other problems at home, with her fox-dog not so much barking up the wrong tree as not even barking at a tree (or doing anything else to it, as dogs are wont to do).

Those that have been paying attention on the EA forum of course will know the explanation – the fridge may have spawned a Freezer Bunny.

For Fox’s sake, Aarin – you can’t tell Reynard what to do.

But Aarin nowadays is trying to be a little more patient elsewhere, even with creations of EA. Sort of.

It has to be said that in refinding Sims 3, Aarin has found a spare time purpose that her blog has betrayed a lack of since it took over from Aarin’s Spectacles in January 2010 (which along with the forum Jazz-Hands she abandoned to its fate) . Up until now, it has been intermittent dabblings in knitting, comics, and computer game after computer game.

It’s been the first signs in a long time of true focus, and it is no surprise to us that it came after her time with Skyrim. The game that takes so many away from the Sims 3 is equally the one to guide them back.

It’s equally no surprise that with a real focus her blog has been as good as during her heyday until she let it all go to her head with disastrous consequences for the EA forum centred Sim community. Minus an entourage of grovelling sycophants (although Chyla and Vintage Lydia remain hanging around, not that you’d really notice), Aarin does deliver the goods in being entertaining, more like the Daria Morgendorffer at 30 plus she perhaps imagines herself to be. The Great Knit works best with an audience as non-interactive as possible.

One thing that is noticeable, unfortunately, is that Aarin these days appears to be suffering somewhat from Tourettes. Had she still been hitting the shoot ‘em ups – the online equivalent of working on a building site in terms of culture – that could have been understandable, but the peppering of so many of her posts with the F word is a touch off-putting.

Some days it’s like xXAngelicEvilXx if she’s on ‘rag week’, her favourite NFL side has just lost and has just discovered being out of Jack Daniels – albeit that’s the way most people are when installing anything to do with Sims 3 is concerned…

Still, there are some more promising signs.

At least she’s not attempting to feed grannies to her cowplant!

Now she gets it!

The post above it however is strange – reading rather like a JKTee511 post, short sentences peppered with exclamation marks.

Come to think of it, the colour scheme of the blogs – red and grey are similar.

She’s even talking about mummies and puppies as well as Magical Unicorns!

Hmmm, is JKTee511 really been just an Aarin alter ego all along? The Comrades, the battles with Madame Lee, the endless cries against us as the font of all evil, all one huge Boratesque gag?

We think we should be told…

For the benefit of the truly brain-dead, that was a joke by the way!

Elsewhere, she’s given in faster than most in getting Lunar Lakes – which considering its remarkable similarities in feel (especially at night) to the city of Blackreach in Skyrim again isn’t perhaps surprising (really, Bethesda ought to charge EA for the subliminal advertising).

If this is what she’s like with Lunar Lakes, we hope her neighbours walls are soundproofed for when she gets Hidden Springs!

She forgot something from her To-Do list: ‘go to Liquor Store having run out of ‘medicinal purposes’ during fixing of Lunar Lakes, also preorder caseload to collect before downloading Showtime from Origin.’

At least it’s been educational from our point of view as well.

We learned a whole new word – zerging, although quite what they’re attacking is anyone’s guess.

‘Zerging’ is gamer nerdspeak, the real world equivalent of which is:’What counts as astute battlefield tactics by Chinese and Russia commanders in countless wars from the early modern period to present, based on the same principle of ants bringing down an anteater by sheer weight of numbers before the anteater’s superior capabilities destroys all the ants – a principle that has done the Mongols, Japanese, Vietnamese in excellent stead every time they’ve disproven said theory since time immemorial. But shhhh! – it’ll only upset them!
