I emailed them about a technical problem which they told me was gameplay related and to chat to players on the forums about it.
I told them I had done and knew it was technical.
They told me it was gameplay related and to talk to players on the forums.
I told them again that I already had done and gave them steps to reproduce it.
They went quiet on me for 5 days so I emailed asking if they were investigating it.
They told me the issue was game play and to talk on the forums.
I told them it was technical and gave the steps again.
They admitted it was technical and said they would investigate the issue.
I got a message two days later telling me there was nothing to do as it was my computer that didn't meet the specs, not something wrong with the game.
Why did they not just ask for my computer specs in the first place?! Gah!

Patch Together
Ok, so I'm not sure how many people stumble on my blog here but just in case anyone does, I've recently submitted a design to Patch Together. Hopefully this embedding code will work...

SimSocial
As part of the marketing campain by EA for the new Sims 3 game due for release on June 2nd (5th in the UK) SimSocial has been released. It's basically a mini-game on the web.
You start by creating a Sim from a few limited options and then basically follow them through their life. All of the events appear on a PDA/mobile phone type interface. Unless you are already into the Sims franchise then this could become very boring very quickly. I'm finding it a very enjoyable time waster though. My Sim has already got a hmself a girlfriend which has unlocked the ability to spend the evening having a romantic meal or watching a romantic movie. The fact that she is a kleptomaniac doesn't seem to have shown any effect yet but she has helped him to get a better job. Well, same thing but different place with better pay.
If you want to go and check it out then you can do here> SimSocial
One last thing, you will need an EA account to play and save your game. If you don't have one then it lets you create one when you begin.
P.S. Save often! It seems to force you to take a ten minute break roughly every Sim fortnight and the autosave doesn't always work. Even if it says it does.

Whirled
Hello all. Fancy checking out a new website? Why not have a look at Whirled? I joined a few months ago to take part in a deviantART contest and really like the games they have there.
If you have the abilities (or even if you don't, it doesn't seem to bother most users) then you can create and upload your own avatars, rooms and furniture items which you can then list in the shop. If you get enough sales then it should eventually be possible to cash out the coins for real money. I have no idea how many coins are needed to make up a convertable amount but then thats not why I'm doing it.

Stairston!
My own mini city!
Visit Stairston here.
I'm the only inhabitant at the time of writing this but hopefully if people visit then the city will grow and become something great.
You can use the blue blob in the lower right corner to move around.
There's a permanent link to Starston in the Links section as well.
