Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: mildlydisguised on 2006 October 22, 21:56:17 That would explain why the expansion packs are always so buggy :D
Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: Li'l Brudder on 2006 October 22, 23:01:23 Did you actually get a floating $0 after seeing this?
It does sound liek real life. Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: BastDawn on 2006 October 22, 23:10:19 The DOG allegedly used a machine?? WTF? That surprises me far more than the lousy "bonus".
Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: Flamingo on 2006 October 22, 23:14:24 Not only that, but from the way they put it, it seems as if he actually built it.
Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: Oddysey on 2006 October 22, 23:24:17 All the chance cards are wiggy in that way. They have pets doing things like making speeches and firing each other. A mystery of the Maxian mind.
Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: BastDawn on 2006 October 23, 17:46:26 Ugh. I hope someone more awesome than me makes a hack with more sensible text on all the pet career chance cards before I get this expansion. :P
Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: Assmitten on 2006 October 23, 20:34:03 That is dumb. Making speeches and firing? Shouldn't they be restricted to pulling Timmy out of the well?
Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: mildlydisguised on 2006 October 23, 20:59:20 Did you actually get a floating $0 after seeing this? It does sound liek real life. Not sure whether I did or not, I was too busy gazing with my mouth open at my lack of bonus :) Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: LynnMar on 2006 October 23, 21:04:23 I think we are going to need more than a hack for this problem. I am thinking PATCH. and God only knows how long that will take them. ::)
It is rather funny though. They could have a least gave him a doggy treat. lol Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: skandelouslala on 2006 October 23, 22:19:34 Haha, well at least the bonus was realistic this time instead of like 50k
Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: rohina on 2006 October 23, 22:22:08 My cat got a $10,000 bonus. Actually, the pets are pretty good earners, and they don't cost that much too keep. Starting a Legacy with a pet or two would definitely make that first week a lot easier.

Actually, the pets are pretty good earners, and they don't cost that much too keep. Starting a Legacy with a pet or two would definitely make that first week a lot easier. i have to send the pets out to work and keep the sim unemployed just so he/she can keep up with the pet maintenance and training :-\ then 2 cats in one household got fired on the first day of their jobs due to me clicking at random on the chance cards they got ( i never read the scenarios to these things i just click whichever option my cursor gets to first) only they weren't actually fired......their jobs remained viable and off they went the next day as if nothing had happened Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 October 24, 10:59:16 A "hefty bonus of $0" reminds me of being "critically hit for 0 points of damage. Feel the pain.". It sounds almost sarcastic, when you know it wasn't actually meant to be.

Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: LynnMar on 2006 October 24, 16:11:05 now this is what I call a bonus and she did it all while being pregnant. Chalk one up for us girls. ;D

Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: simmiecal on 2006 October 24, 19:31:10 now this is what I call a bonus and she did it all while being pregnant. Chalk one up for us girls. ;D At least with this card, it sounds like something an animal could do. Too bad they can't get maternity leave like the sims - it would give more time to teach them skills. My simmies are turning into slave drivers - stay home and watch the new commercials on SimsTV while sending Fido out to earning some simoleans. Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: Flamingo on 2006 October 24, 19:39:24 Yeah, an interesting family indeed. Quick question though, is that spotted...thing supposed to be a cat or dog?
Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: Giggy on 2006 October 24, 20:19:15 ??? how the heck did she have that kind of money?!
Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: EntropyGuardian on 2006 October 24, 20:28:44 ??? how the heck did she have that kind of money?! That is pretty easy to do with a single sim getting to the top of just about any career track. I am more interested in having nearly 40 family friends. Ha. Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: Giggy on 2006 October 24, 22:03:39 >:( no I ment the old lady in the chance card?
Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: Venusy on 2006 October 24, 22:27:33 I'm more surprised at the fact that a dog named Lucinda is male... ("Lucinda pulls the manual alarm in the hall and by the time he reaches the stairs...")

Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: idtaminger on 2006 October 25, 05:02:48 Ooh. This post just reminded me of this video I saw on boingboing... http://www.boingboing.net/2006/10/24/video_of_genius_dog.html
Now, that is one smartass dog. Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 October 25, 05:05:11 Fallout. Wow. A Jelenedra actually has played that?Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: Dea on 2006 October 25, 06:02:35 Damn it...I just clicked on OK in the screenshot of the chance card...
Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: SpaceDoll on 2006 October 25, 06:34:15 Oh shit, I did that, too, but wasn't going to admit it! :-[
Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: jrd on 2006 October 25, 07:27:55 I'm more surprised at the fact that a dog named Lucinda is male... ("Lucinda pulls the manual alarm in the hall and by the time he reaches the stairs...") I've already noticed some odd pet names. I'm considering making a pet name hack =p Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: idtaminger on 2006 October 25, 12:50:01 Eh, pple give weird pet names. My lil sister named her bunny Sabrina.
We didn't have her for long though, cuz my uncle killed her by accident. :( Left her outside in March, after he decided to give her a bath (???I was just like wtf?!?!) and she got sick and died. Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: Assmitten on 2006 October 25, 23:55:30 Fallout. Wow. A Jelenedra actually has played that?I was going to guess Kingdom of Loathing. It sounds like those smartasses. Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 October 26, 01:18:12 I was going to guess Kingdom of Loathing. It sounds like those smartasses. Thing is, it's not actually meant to be a smartass sarcastic comment. It's actually meant to be a serious message, but when the "critical" hit involves a laughably negliglble amount of money, that extra bit comes off sounding snarky instead.Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: DrBeast on 2006 October 26, 12:46:35 A "hefty bonus of $0" reminds me of being "critically hit for 0 points of damage. Feel the pain.". It sounds almost sarcastic, when you know it wasn't actually meant to be. Ok...remind me where I've seen that...? Fallout. Yes...it just popped into my mind a couple of hours after asking! I was having coffee with a friend and my g/f and suddenly I sat upright and blurted "Fallout!". They're still convinced I need to wear this lovely white outfit with the long sleeves that you wear backwards! Title: Re: Sounds like the kind of bonus I get at work! Post by: Jelenedra on 2006 October 26, 14:48:29 I got that chance card once, I chose the other option though and the pet got promoted instead. =p
Yes, Jelenedras play Fallout. One of the few games that let you play as a female and still be fun. I have both Fallout 1 and 2. Best game ever. |
