Music Band Copies The Sims 2 Theme Song:

There is this band called "Boys Like Girls" and they had already released this song called "Love Drunk" and they had plagiarized the Official Theme Song for The Sims 2. Those people are busy playing their music all over the radio. I mainly heard this song on 104.1 Radio 1 and if you listen to the first and the last part of the song "the lala la la lalala lala lala lalalala... and so on", then as a Simmer, you will realize that this part of the song has been taken from The Sims 2 & it's expansion packs. Those exact lyrics are copied and the band members are literally singing after the song but they made the song into a "College Rock" kind of theme.
The song is shown to you below:

Boys Like Girls: Love Drunk



The Sims 2: University Theme Song



Now compare and contrast the songs and feel free to comment on this post!

The Irony Of Fame:

To be treated by the irony of fame; to stop his breath at a time when it should not stop; and how much the public liked him; and how many times he appeared to show himself; and how much the people appreciated him; then all of a sudden the news that he is breathing no more; that he should not be expected on stage anymore.

Imagine how he felt; imagine what was the end of his career; imagine the expectations of his fans, his friends, his family, his audience; they did not expect that they would have to feel his absence.

The irony of fate which is just the opposite of the irony of his fame. May God bless his soul, may God give tranquility to his spectators who are watching the screen and wishing for this person to be on the screen and with that; God bless that soul.

Oh no, oh no. Aye, irony of fate, was that your expectation? The destruction of all his hopes? To terminate even the hopes of his audience? To terminate his life? May God bless his soul. We didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to the beauty on the stage. What hopes he had are now all gone. Fare thee well and God’s speed, Michael. From Him we come and unto Him we shall all return.

This is Tribute No. 1 to the memory of Michael Jackson who had passed away on June 25 2009 in L.A. and this was written by Retro's Grandfather!

The U.A.E's First Case of Swine Flu:

Everyone is advised to stay away from Miss Piggy due to the outbreak of the Swine Flu

News reports say that the swince flu (H1N1 Virus) has spread through out the world affecting many people and places. The following places have been infected with this serious disease:

• Mexico (the place where it all began)
• New York City (they had to close down many schools and they had to quarantine many areas)
• Texas
• The U.K (even in all the airports people are starting to wear masks)
• China (this sounds like such a cliche that they would get it and in the end they did)
• Japan 
• France (Sacre Bleu!)
• Spain (Que?!)
• Italy (Mama Mia, how did that happen?)
• Kuwait (Dubai's next door neighbors)
• Bahrain
• Germany (oh man that sucks)
• Israel (stupid Jews, thats what you get for being a stupid Jew)
• Peru
• Costa Rica 
• New Zealand (that's it I'm not buying anymore steaks from Spinneys. Most of their steaks are from New Zealand)
• Ireland (oh no, one of my friends is half Irish :O and my cousin is over there!!!!!!)
• South Korea 
• Canada 
• Austrailia (just like my mother's friend who I gave her a nickname "Pig", you see now Austrailia is infected just because of her)
• The U.A.E.

All of these places and many more to come but could you believe that Dubai has actually confirmed the first case of the swine flu virus (H1N1). This is really tragic but not many people seem to care about it. I guess once everyone has got a chance to read the front page of the Gulf News then they will understand what has happened. And yes Dubai has revealed the first case of the swince flu virus. You can read more about it over here for more informaton. Check out Gulf News for all the details as well as Yahoo.

Let There Be Sims:

Virgin Megastore in Dubai announces the release of The Sims 3. It is said that the game will be released on the 4th of June 2009. Now I am really surprised with Virgin. About 2 weeks ago I went to Virgin Megastore in the Mall Of The Emirates and I asked one of the staff members and believe it or not this is what happened:

Me: Excuse me sir, do you have any idea when The Sims 3 will be released?

Virgin Megastore Staff member: The Sims 3?!

Me: Yes, do you know when it will be released?

Virgin Megastore Staff member: I'm sorry sir, but we NEVER heard of the game. We have The Sims 2 in stock. Would you like to see it?

Me: No thanks!

So I left the store. but now finally Virgin realized that they should release it. I think they were forced to release it because I guess they many people heard me blab about how one guy from the UAE is a creator of the game and I'm guessing that they felt bad because ALL the stores knew about it except them. LOL

Anyway about the game. If you go to Virgin Megastore now, you can see that it's available for pre-ordering now. So if you preorder it, you will receive a few gifts with the game. So what are you waiting for. Go and preorder it QUICK!!!!

The Sims 3 Information: The Letter From Rod Humble

Rod Humble had posted a letter to all the Simmers out there and he said:

"Hello everyone, I wanted to share news with you regarding our copy protection plans for The Sims 3.
We’ll have more information for you as we get closer to launch about everything we’ll have to offer on TheSims3.com and The Sims 3 Store, but we have heard your requests over the past months and here is our plan for The Sims 3.

The game will have disc-based copy protection – there is a Serial Code just like The Sims 2. To play the game there will not be any online authentication needed.

We feel like this is a good, time-proven solution that makes it easy for you to play the game without DRM methods that feel overly invasive or leave you concerned about authorisation server access in the distant future.

We’re really excited to bring you the game for the PC and Mac starting June 2, 2009. The extra time we’ve taken to polish the game has resulted in an even better game experience for you to enjoy and we can’t wait for you to see it for yourself!

Thanks for your passion and your loyalty.

Rod Humble"

How great is that, we do NOT have to go online when we install The Sims 3 and authenticate it but it will have a disc protection thing. I think that thing is to prevent it from being copied but at least it's coming out on the 2nd of June 2009 :D

Will Wright Resigns:

I was just browsing MTS2 (Mod The Sims 2) and I clicked on the Modern Stuff Pack Download. The creator "The Sims Supply" has a great website that has a bunch of news on The Sims 2 and their creators. It seems that Will Wright is officially resigning from EA Games. As he quotes "Will Wright has announced he is resigning and Lucy Bradshaw is the new head". Check out the article over here and comment on what you think about it. Also in case any of you have noticed you should be registered on blogspot in order to comment on this blog.

Lesbo Lohan gone nuts

As you can see, Lesbo Lindsay Lohan has finally lost it. Lindsay told the press, that she wants to move to Dubai. Sources were shocked to hear that. And get this, she wants to bring her girlfriend with her. Well Lindsay, I'm sorry to tell you this but "F***K YOU" !
You have no right to come to Dubai and live here. I'm sorry but Dubai is way to religious to have you here. Dubai does NOT allow gay people to move here. So here is a piece of advice "go f***k yourself, you stupid lesbian"!
You used to look innocent but now don't try and say that you've changed. I hope everyone agrees with me!
Sorry Lindsay, You've Over-Stayed your time!
For those of you who agree, please comment!

Ask Dido: Part 2

The following has been taken from Dido's site:

"Are you afraid about coming back to your career? Because you were absent for years!!
Mohammed Kaaki, Lebanon
Dido replies: I've certainly never left my career! My life is music and it is part of my every day. I've been really enjoying touring and then making music in the studio these last few years. Learning new instruments, writing more and more, learning about every aspect of music that I can question and doing a lot of home recording! But yes, it is always a challenge for me to then bring the music into the public domain. That has never changed for me. When I write I forget that anything will be heard by anyone. It's such a personal and insular experience between me and the song and the music. So it will take me a bit of adjustment to not feel awkward about the other stuff.


Hi Dido my question is how can you describe your new album to fans who have only heard your singles up to now?
Jamie Daborn
Dido replies: It's not really up to me to describe it. I just pour everything into it and then leave that to other people when they listen. I wlll never know what people hear when they listen to it. I can only go on what I love. But the few things I can tell you are that it is still all about the song. That is what I love about making music. And this time round I decided to reference what I love about electronic music but try and make every sound with non-programmed instruments. For me, that gives it a warmth and dynamic as every keyboard sound, beat, blip, whatever is played by me or my friends. It leaves many surprises in there for the repeat listener.

If I wanted a keyboard sound we would create it with bells, orchestras, old modular synths, marimbas, glass harmonicas, old pianos, playing percussion on guitars, wind instruments, anything! If we wanted a drum loop I would go to the source and managed to work with some of the best drummers in the world (the ones we would have sampled before...). If I wanted reverb on my vocal I would climb into the reverb chamber and sing the whole song again underneath. It obviously took a little time to get the right sound sometimes but it was so much fun and totally worth it in my opinion as it creates a depth and warmth that means I'm still hearing things in the tracks I haven't heard before (and I've heard them a lot...)."
