I still have to recover from all the booze…

I lost my feet somewhere on the way…
It was so much fun! I’m afraid I was a little too excited though.

I hope the attending SNW team members didn’t find me too eccentric. Although I have a hunch they did :p

I hugged practically everybody. And I had pictures taken of me with pretty much everybody.. Me and pictures: completely derailed after those chocolates…

My report will follow once I had enough sleep. Otherwise I won’t think clearly, like, right now

Did you have fun at EA World? Definitely. Crowded, very crowded. At first I thought, who are all those people of the press? But then I remembered how they gave away tickets for EA World.

I got there too late in my opinion. On my way to Utrecht we hit traffic jams three times, of course due to 3 accidents. Great, but alright, I was ‘only’ half an hour late. Some press people got in even later. Also because of the traffic jams.

Titles that were very present: Sims 2 (console), James Bond, Fifa ‘06 and of course NFS Most Wanted. There was a lot more, but I’ll write about that later. Above things title just got my attention.

I met ChEeTaH (TheSimsZone) and JVtje (Simparool) and chatted with them for a while. That was fun too. And before that I chatted quite a while with Nita and Deborah. I also saw Bas. I took a nice picture of him haha

Today I met a few friends. It was a long time ago and sometimes you just have to do that. We decided to hold meetings more often, because 1 or 2 times a year is just not enough, don’t you think? It went from seeing each other every day to just a few times a year. Too bad.. But that’s how it goes.

And tomorrow it’s the day of The Sims Awards 2005. In Oostende (Belgium). What bothers me most is that people participate in the contest at SNW and then mail at the last moment: ‘I can’t come after all, but thank you anyway’. Thank you. I can make a new selection again. And again, and again! Luckily there are some people who participate because they know they can and want to come. We will see them tomorrow. And from our team? I of course, and my mother known under the name of Rollebietedotje/Guinevere will be there as well. Don’t forget Lord_Marino and Eva! I’m looking forward to it. As long as they don’t expect too much of me :p haha, I’m only just Rosana

I will definitely make pictures and report about the Awards. I will meet many people. There will be 1400 people! At least I won’t stand out

Sometimes you discover those crazy things, that you really didn’t expect. Like yesterday, I had a fun thing with Nightlife. I like to fiddle, in my game too. Changing the CAS scene (where you create Sims) is no exception. So I thought I’d change CAS. I wanted a CAS in Nightlife style. Change some walls, add a floor, disco lights and not to forget a DJ booth. After saving and replacing I got back in the game, and what did I see? CAS works like a community lot because as I said, I placed a DJ booth in it, and of course, my Sim was not alone. There was a DJ, a real DJ behind the booth. How funny! I made a picture of it immediately and sent it to EA

Simgek (Lia) created some really cool recolors a while ago, but due to all the stuff going on and around SNW I was unable to upload these items. They’re online now, available for download!

So I already told you yesterday that I am going to meet & greet Tim LeTourneau next Friday. Tonight there was a chat and I got no questions answered this time, but did get to know a few things. I am busy writing down all questions, so I can ask them next week. By the way, nobody knows, except EA, what that one surprise will be, but I have a hunch.

I completely forgot to mention but it does need its own piece of text… I am going to Tim LeTourneau (Senior Producer of The Sims 2) next week at EA Benelux. There I will ask all possible questions which are not yet known about the second expansion pack of The Sims 2: Nightlife. Nightlife will be out 15 September in the Netherlands, a year after The Sims 2 itself. It is the second expansion pack and according to EA it will have the same system requirements. I don’t really believe that last bit, but ok… What they want..

If you have any questions regarding the second expansion pack (Nightlife) then leave me a message here or talk to me on MSN. I will write down all (not yet known) questions and will ask Tim LeTourneau them one by one. The previous meeting (press conference) with Tim LeTourneau was a lot of fun and I think it will be fun again this time. Now let’s just hope we can take pictures.
