Way Off Topic No Comments »

I periodically check out TheSims2.com to see get the latest news on The Sims. The Bare Naked Ladies have three songs for download on The Sims 2. I downloaded one and started listening to it. I love the BNL and couldn’t make out what they were saying, so I cranked up the volume.

Then I noticed they were singing in Sim speak! It’s the funniest thing. The song was really good, and I love it. I think I will go back and grab the other two.

Also, the BNL have a new album out! I can’t wait to hear some of their new stuff.

I ran across this through the forum at Aeoncube and thought it’d be perfect to mention here. It’s the game Savage, which you can download the FULL, that’s right FULL, version for FREE. Another thing that makes Savage awesome is that it supports Linux! Hooray! Now with my Linux newbie self, hopefully I can figure out just how to install it on Linux.

Savage is an RTS(real time strategy)/first person shooter game. You play Savage online. I’m not a big fan of RTS but will check this one out just to see how it does on Linux.
