Not a blog but I figured a bit of news would cheer you up!

Electronic Arts on Friday began shipping the long-awaited sequel to its hit PC game "The Sims."

The new version, "The Sims 2," builds on the theme of letting people play out simulated life stories of its characters by allowing players to control their Sims from cradle to grave. It also adds a genetics aspect, with the "DNA" of its more lifelike characters passing from generation to generation, the company said.
