This week's non-movie topic: "In the Spring of 2000, Electronic Arts released a game, created by Maxis, that would change the lives of gamers everywhere. Not the uber-gamers, of course, but more casual gamers. That game was The Sims, a life simulator that put you in control of little pixellated characters on the screen. In the fall of 2004, Electronic Arts released the sequel to this game that brought a brand new dimension to the pixellated characters that we loved. As of June 2, 2009, a third incarnation of this game will be released. But since it's not out yet, we're going to revisit a topic that we had way back in flick-a-brac episode 004: The Sims 2."
[Please note: At the time of recording, Electronic Arts had not yet announced the releasing delay of Sims 3 and is stated as being February 16.]

The Movie Topic: "It has long been said that sex sells. I'm sure the adult entertainment industry will agree with that assessment, but what about in general movie terms? Does sex automatically equal ticket sales?"
