He moved from Retroware to Kotaku, so that's where his content went! But yeah, he's also had a bunch of ongoing chronic health problems for the past while too, so he's been on the down-low since then. Catch up with him on Twitter if ya like! <a href="https://twitter.com/laserfrog" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/laserfrog</a>

So...a solar mass load?

"Sims 4 - Putting you in-charge of virtual discharge."

"The Sims 4 - It's really gonna make your ass burn." That's a free one, EA.

Off-topic: WTH happened to LaserFrog? Is he dead? Did he become a masked vigilante roaming the streets of Lincolnshire? Gigolo?

Justin Dotson

At least I'm learning something. You never know when a random event will make you use that knowledge in any number of ways.

Cole Palmer

Well never really thought of it that way

LGR

The Sims never really leaves you once you experience it. Much like herpes.

LGR

I get this rather often, hehe. Glad you enjoy regardless!

LGR

It's measured in solar masses.

LGR

Indeed it did, based on the Gaia hypothesis of James Lovelock. The first successor to SimCity and not very well-remembered!

LGR

Perfect for that finishing touch for your psycho sims

Cole Palmer

They get me every time. I always say I wont get the next one, but I always do.

Justin Dotson

You know I don't even like the Sims and I still watch all of your Sims videos.

Michael Hogan

Probably not. Red Baron pizza wouldn't be too great after two months of fridge-squatting.

Michael Hogan

Regarding the amount of upcoming videos cited, is that a metric crapload or an imperial crapload?

$5? Knowing EA, they will release it as an Expansion Pack and charge $20 +...

Well, the first working item ever made for the Sims *was* one that you could sit down on, so I guess they're just honoring their roots their. Seriously, though, this actually was interesting to see. Nice to see that they're adding some new customization options and streamlining some of the build features. The "move whole house" bit especially got me excited, as I can't even count the number of houses I tried to build, only to find I'd put some wall too far to the left and thus couldn't make the garden path I wanted without redoing about 3-4 rooms completely. Still, it sucks that Create-a-Style is indeed missing, though maybe they'll release one at a later date if enough interest gets generated (I really really hope they don't try to charge $5 for it if they do).

SimEarth? I don't think you covered that one yet. :P Or SimIsle... or SimFarm... or SimLife... or SimSafari... or SimRefinery... ...yeah, I'm just being snarky now. That last one though I didn't even know existed... :o
