Baudrillard, you devil, you.
Here's something new: online virtual gangs!
I'm hoping someone produces an add-on program that enables players to use guns in The Sims. A sniper runs loose in Alphaville! (Will this give rise to a Chief Moose Sim?) Someone should act like a mad Easter Bunny and create items to be placed at random points in the Sims environment. Like what? Oh, I don't know. A sledgehammer. A bow and arrow. A steamroller. Maybe a flyable fighter plane. Or the Easter Bunny could sprinkle the environment with Naughty Toys... or would that be the job of the Bestiality Bunny, the S & M Bunny, and the German Sex Shop Bunny? "You vaaant zee Kay Vye Jelly, ja?"
How about some real havoc: create a Smith-program. Your little avatar goes around turning other Sim people into copies of himself.
And for all of us who're logging too much time online: Virtual Addiction.
