Devious Vacuum posted:Become Lady Gaga, obviously. I agree. Become an Author. I take it that a distinguishing feature of authors is glamorously walking on red carpets. I also want to imagine that she can become a UL engineer because of a terrible mix-up in which she got a degree at the University of Louisiana.

Is it just me, or is this:  clearly a baby? Once you put some hair and clothes on her she became a small child, but at this stage it definitely looks like a baby with breasts. So weird. Blaziken386 posted:Saints Row 2 was the best. Saints Row the Third apparently cut out a lot of the customization and from what I've heard SR IV is pretty much the same, just with a lot of the bonus outfits thrown into the main game. The big difference for SR3 was the lack of layering, eg. shirts and jackets were separate in SR2 but combined in SR3, and that's the same in SR4. There are more options in SR4 though. haplesscardsharp posted:Please don't tell me you used a vehicle in Saints Row 4 long enough to pimp the poo poo out of it. I don't understand people who say they never used vehicles in SR4. They're super fun. Jenner posted:"Nerd girls" have it rough too because they are either gross and pathetic or are only nerds in passing and are more likely just The Girlfriend. Or like the Felicia Day characters (in everything I've seen her in) where they're the lonely nerd's dreamgirl, the attractive, competent sidekick. Jinxie Monroe posted:This is why I like the show Drop Dead Diva despite it being pretty schlocky "chick" stuff overall. It's just so nice to see a larger woman portrayed as just a person (not till around season 2-3 though sadly). Plus Margaret Cho. Drop Dead Diva is pretty good, although I feel like the supernatural elements are kind of holding it back at this point. I feel like that really worked well in the beginning but now whenever it comes up I just want them to drop it.

Girl Games also teach us that a woman needs a man in her life, but a man can be happy without a woman, so you must compete for male attention. Because only a penis can make you happy.

Let's Play Disney City Girl Part 2: Girl Games Harder We chose UL Engineer as our job!  Hey Bestie, how goes the job hunt? Liza just told me she heard about a very cool contract position!Here we meet Liza, who is probably an apprentice witch. She is who you work with if you go the Fashion Designer route.  That's right! I know an Engineer at Underwriters Laboratories who's looking for an assistant. I met her last summer at a Sustainable Fashion conference.She was there giving a talk about the importance of chemical emissions testing for clothing. Do you want me to introduce you? Her name's Natasha Singh!And with that, we meet Natasha, who was hiding in our apartment this whole time.  You can call me Tasha, actually. Liza's already told me about your background. Sounds like you could be fairly competent in this role.Just don't expect the work to be easy!INVITE NEIGHBOURS! Get more friends to help you make it big in the city! Be quiet, Jenna!And with that we finish a quest and...  Free gold and money, yeah! I wish I could level up in real life. But anyway, now we have two quests. One from Tasha and one from Jenna. We're going to do the Tasha quest because Jenna just wants us to spend money. Life in New York is hard, Jenna! Was Liza telling you about the talk I gave at that fashion conference?Personally, I believe the lab coat is the very pinnacle of fashion. It's very chic, don't you agree? Especially when complemented with the right pair of goggles.Why did I choose Tasha's Quest?  Not everyone shares our fine taste, unfortunately. Instead they buy clothes that too often contain chemicals toxic to the environment.Your job is to help me test new products headed to the market. If they're going to harm the environment or the people using them, we want to know about it! Tasha is "very fashionable" indeed, but not as fashionable as Business Casual. Let's go to work!  This job takes ten seconds to do, but we only get paid 20 coins when the cost is a Metro Ticket and Energy. Still, 20 coins for 10 seconds work is good. We finished work, and with that our quest. We have two quests again. Jenna, or Tasha. I'll let the thread pick this one. Also, feel free to choose new clothes. A reminder: The choices are Business, Social, or Sporty. There's also Mystery but a lot of those clothes cost real money.

Are those silver coins Nickles, Quarters, Dimes, or Silver Dollars? That puts us at at least $360 per hour. Assuming a 40 hour work week, that's 288,000 nickles per week. We'll need some sleeves for those.

We just throw yarn in the oven and out comes a sweater. Is there a way to go more business casual? If not, can we go sports business? Also, stick with Tasha, she knows how to make some mad cash and look professional doing it.

I have three comments. One, the UL logo is out of perspective. Like. REALLY out of perspective. Two. Goggles and microscopes generally don't go together too well, I would've thought. Three. I am pretty sure that is an inappropriate way to hold a microscope. Make of that what you will. 3A: for that matter, how do you FOCUS that microscope? That black thing looks like a label, not a lens adjuster!

You know I'm fairly sure there's quite a large payscale/hierarchy difference between 'chef' and 'dishwasher'. Or maybe I've been watching too many YES CHEF! television shows.

The interesting thing is that Underwriters Lab either works with Playdom or Disney or both and there is references to them in every single Disney-Playdom game I have played. Even the Smurfs. Even if you don't go the Engineer route, you can get more Safety Sense by checking the UL label on the Microwave. I'll show more stat-boosting options in the next update. It is the main part of the game, after all!

I think they probably have such terrible and short sound clips because they just recorded the first part of a sample before the watermark. Something like this. That way they don't have to pay for the sounds and they get repeated incessantly.
