    Hey guys I was thinking of doing one of these Lets Play things however I am actually going to try and complete one. So if you are willing to join in these are the lists of games I have installed and would be willing to play.

    1. Arcanum
    2. Civ 4
    3. Civ 4: Colonization
    4. Fallout 1
    5. Fallout 2
    6. Fallout 3
    7. Sims 3
    8. Spore
    9. Oblivion
    10. mass Effect 2

    Ok so that is the selection of games I have installed at the moment, I could install others but only if the said game would be considered awesome for Lets Play.

    Complete one?

    Don't make promises you can't keep!

    And do one of the open-ended ones, preferably Civ 4. I actually find Let's Plays of linear games sort of bohemian. Especially in the case of RPGs, where the story is the whole point of playing in the first place. It's like cheating.

    Spore could also be interesting, as long as you stop once you go intergalactic.

    Yeah I mentioned Spore because there are a lot of possibilities. It is just the normal version, none of the packs or anything. I wouldn't plan on doing the intergalactic simply because its really not that fun flying to one zone to find out all your planets are being attacked and you can only save one. For the Sims 3 I was thinking more along the lines of creating certain members of the forum, giving them their forum personalities and dream career path, then see how they interact, would Grakelin and Caity have a kid? Would Grakelin be angry to find out the kid is actually Charonte's?

    The possibilities are enormous, also I agree with you Grakelin, there is only so much you can do in an RPG. Arcanum however you can choose not to follow the complete story, perhaps if you die in Arcanum Lets Play then that is it.

    I'd like to see the "T-A" Sims. That sounds like it has potential.

    Toss my vote in, as much as the idea of having Zanza running a DF character scares me.

    All he has to do is put a short girl wrapped around your dick while you walk and it'll be pretty accurate.

    alright I said 24 hours but it seems to be an overwhelming decision here so TA Sims 3 it will be. Let us discuss characters.

    I figure we may as well live in the same household, now the bonus of Sims 3 is we can all live together with our own surnames meaning we aren't actually related. this opens up house mate romances, bromances and well everything else in between. Seeing though I am playing the game Zanza will be a character. Now you can have a maximum of eight characters living in one household.

    So anyone who wants to be included into the household please let me know here, if we get more than eight people wanting to be in I will choose those with 1000 posts and above as they generally have a more definable personality. This being said when you state whether or not you want to be a character, I want you to choose a hair colour as well as skin colour. I'll choose who has what personality traits according to your activity on the forums but feel free to mention one or two traits you may think I might not have noticed. Now when selecting traits be mindful that some traits interact, so an evil person cannot select good. The traits are:

    Absent-Minded
    Ambitious
    Angler
    Artistic
    Athletic
    Bookworm
    Brave
    Can't Stand Art
    Charismatic
    Childish
    Clumsy
    Commitment Issues
    Computer Whiz
    Couch Potato
    Coward
    Daredevil
    Dislikes Children
    Easily Impressed
    Evil
    Excitable
    Family-Oriented
    Flirty
    Friendly
    Frugal
    Genius
    Good
    Good Sense of Humor
    Great Kisser
    Green Thumb
    Grumpy
    Handy
    Hates the Outdoors
    Heavy Sleeper
    Hopeless romantic
    Hot-Headed
    Hydrophobic
    Inappropriate
    Insane
    Kleptomaniac
    Light Sleeper
    Loner
    Loser
    Loves the Outdoors
    Lucky
    Mean Spirited
    Mooch
    Natural Cook
    Neat
    Neurotic
    Never Nude
    No Sense of Humor
    Over-Emotional
    Party Animal
    Perfectionist
    Schmoozer
    Slob
    Snob
    Technophobe
    Unflirty
    Unlucky
    Vegetarian
    Virtuoso
    Workaholic

    Now there are 32 career paths/lifetime wishes you can follow/achieve, so please mention the career path you are in at the moment or at least studying to be in. If none of these are close to you then by all means choose your dream job/lifetime wish, after all, it is a game. Lifetime wishes are a bit crazy and you may not get the option you want to appear, but then that is the culmination of your personality traits.

    Due to time differences of forums members instead of selecting the first 7 other members, I'll do a lucky dip from the people who write up their characters up. This increases your chances Mest, because you mentioned Zac Effron and if this was any other case you would be dead to me.
