MUD...AND MOO...WOOHOO!!!!
THANK GOD FOR RICHARD BARTLE FOR HELPING TO BRING US SUCH A CREATION....LOL
What would I do without my Sims games. For real, I have a part time job, full time schedule, and I'm a full time mom, and I still find some me time. It used to be video games were "the devil" according to my mother, but I dont think so...how are video games that much different than sitting down to watch a movie? It can be a hobby for some...whateva.
I bought my son last Christmas his own computer. At three my lil guy is a scholar. It's games, but they help him learn everything from color to numbers. He'll even catch himself in a middle of a mistake and correct himself-now that's funny.
OK-
back to the Sims
The Sims is my hobby when I feel like having fun while I'm sitting on my bum. lol
Things I can do in this game:
-build houses
-create people
-make people talk, fight, have sex, have kids, buy pets, etc.
-get and keep jobs (or get a cheat code and not worry about money)
-furnish their houses, yard, etc.
-etc, etc.
I have Sims on my computer and on my Game Cube.
I was thinking of upgrading to a Wii system, but I like my lil purple GameCube-too bad they dont really make games for it anymore =(

Yeah I am a die-hard gamer and I don't think games get some of the rspect they learn. They CAN be a distraction or downright perverted/violent. But how many are actually helpful?
Take a strategy game for example. Businesses (at least used to) asked if you played Chess, as they saw that as good trait for planners and thinkers.
What the Hell is so different about a strategy game? I have to balance an economy; learn to adapt to a threat, be it human or disaster; learn what military units beat what and how to position them, and keep my populace happy.
I think you should put down the simulation games you play on the hobbies section of your resume. Seriously. If you play Sims, WoW or others that require alot of time to build characters, environments, etc. that takes not only time but it takes the ability to mentally organize and plan and adapt to changing situations. Those are traits that employers look for.
I put on my last resume, the fact that I was an administrator at an online web competition site. The fact that I could not only build pages, but could manage members, organize newsletters, and guide the membership helped me get my job. Its not what I do, but it showed that I had leadership abilities, I could think on my feet and could help and instruct others. I was hired into a part-time postion, and was later offered and full-time postion.
Is it possible that the traditional resume format may one day include a separate section (in addition to education, experience, etc.) such as "Virtual Accomplishments" or "Virtual Experiences" or something similar?
