Dammit Gusto, I wanted something to tide me over at work. You're fired!

It has a super long upload time on Youtube, who might not even accept it since it's over 10 minutes and I don't know if they automatically partition a thing. The upload will be down literally as my shift starts in 35 minutes. So I won't even know if the upload worked for another 5 hours or so. :)
You have to be a partner or something to go over 10 mins on Youtube. I don't think they auto partition.

(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 4

SimShannow cheated! He waited until SimQonas wasn't looking.

Also SimShannow bites. No real man bites in a fight, c'mon.

SimQonas has much, much to do to get back in my good graces. WORLD DOMINATION, SimQonas, or I'll abort you in the six hundred eighteenth trimester!
 
(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 4

Today's update is the video I too yesterday. Bear a couple things in mind:

- This is my first time doing this.
- As explained, I lost about a minute and a half of footage at the 15 minute point.

Please let me know what you think, what I could improve on, what you liked, other things I should focus on, etc.

No! I can't watch this update from work! I have to wait a whole day to see the vids! :explode:

Thanks for the hard work though, looking forward to seeing it all go down in realtime!

That was incredibly entertaining :D I lol'ed a few times in the middle of Panera and got some strange looks from people.

Totally missed an opportunity to flirt with a fellow evil girly there!

I'm loving the video reviewing, it really brings it to life.
 
(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 6

It's actually kinda funny Shego because that woman is another character I made. Even her daughter is older than you. :) In fact she's probably pretty close to being an elder.
 
(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 6

So what did you all think of the videos? Worth the time and effort? Any suggestions? Deafened by my voice? Prefer them over written+screenshot updates?

SPEAK TO ME PEOPLE
 
(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 6

I actually enjoyed the screenshot ones more, but the video was cool too. Maybe we can get the videos once every 1-2 weeks, and screen shots for minor updates in between?
 
(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 6

Alright, how about this:

I could make weekly video updates, probably on Fridays, and cut them down to only the particularly interesting bits, rather than keeping the whole live commentary (or heck, maybe keep both?). Kinda like a highlights reel, much like my screenshot updates.

That way I can keep a video to 10 minutes or less, while focusing on the bits with good commentary and interesting events instead of showing everyone eating breakfast and showering in real time.

Thoughts?
 
(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 6

Close, but BETTER!

Keep the daily picture updates (whenever possible due to scheduling, etc., but try to keep it daily) and forego Friday's picture update for a VIDEO.

I like it! Watching the climb to Empress will be very interesting in this house of victi.... roomates! :twisted:

Heh, well I can't guarantee you'll get there, since I'm a lot more lax about controlling the people in this household. Getting people to the top of their career tracks typically involves a good deal of management.

The two most likely people to achieve their goals are Shannow (have a household value of over $100,000) and Gusto (make at least 20 friends).

For your well-being, I'm going to pretend that post didn't happen.

*mumbles something about Shannow getting his lifetime goal and not her*

Oh, I'm sorry, was there something?

The videos were good; it was nice to have moving visual evidence of Shannow's action-packed day. :p

Everyone in Halforum House better be paying SimQonas tips. If he dies, everyone else will soon follow because that house'll just turn into one giant aquarium with all the broken/leaky toilets and showers that don't get fixed. YOU NEED SIMQONAS! :D
 
(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 6

Ross ends his VERY LONG day in the park by making friends with a woman named Martha:



And Shannow comes home from work. Here is his Thug uniform:



Once it's daylight and everyone is awake, Gusto and Droll resume their flirting. In Dave's room. While Dave watches.

In his underwear.



(Incidentally, every time they flirted in front of him, Dave's relationships with both Droll and Gusto went down.)

Droll starts to get stir crazy in the house again, so she heads to the bookstore for more recipes. She now knows how to make cookies and fish and chips. (Qonas better keep stocking the fridge with fresh fish!)



The forumites took too long to pay their bills! Although Ross eventually DID pay them, the Repo Man comes to take his telescope.



Shannow officially declares Qonas his nemesis. Qonas is happy to comply.



The two listen to Ross' newest song as Shego happily jogs away in her evening gown.



They get into a fight again, and this time Qonas emerges victorious! Back to the gym with Shannow!




Ross makes small talk with the maid, Lakshmi, and invites her to hang out after she's off work. The two talk for a while.



Then Dave comes home, sporting his classy new Reporter uniform. Lookin' sharp!



Dave proofread some stories his editor gave him while Droll chats with Lakshmi in the next room.



Shego completely confuses Lakshmi when she asks her questions about dead fish, and then immediately asks if she's single. Turns out the new maid is a bit of a Flirt!




The entire group gathers in the kitchen to have some of Gusto's grilled cheese sandwiches.



Once night falls, Shego changes into HER Thug uniform and runs to catch the ride to work.



Vyta paints stick figures of Harry Potter and Hermione. Or so it seems!



Shego realizes that the other Evil woman she met is, in fact, her new boss! Her and Shannow leave the criminal headquarters after a long night of work, and she has a new "package" to drop off at City Hall in the morning.

 
(The Sims 3) Halforum House Redux - UPDATE Oct 7

The dead fish comment was asking her about Ross's sexual aura. I look forward to more visits from that nice lil maid, I think there's a mess on my bed... if not, there will be! :hump:

Oh, and I'm LOVING that Thug outfit. :uhhuh:-:thumbsup:

You guys have fun fighting... I'll just play my guitar right over there.

I probably played some cool... acoustic fight music... while Qonas and Shannow threw down.

Gusto, I'd like to give you a big round of applause.

You've put a lot of work into this and it's really funny. I enjoy seeing the hijinks each day.

Now, if we can get Dave in his DJ vest and underware, I'll lose any control over my bladder.
