Well, well, well, producing movies based on "The Sims" and "Monopoly" doesn't seem so far-fetched now, does it?

The Sims could be best if they go the Lego movie route and make it a meta narrative

What meta narrative? That we all eventually remove the swimming pool ladder or trap them in a room on fire? Or having to buy the >£300 ($700) dlc multiple times?

Just for the love of god, do not let Uwe Boll be involved.

Well yes, but it also, between TLoU, the new One Piece and Airbender, and now this, proves that it's possible to take something with a good story, adapt it faithfully, and magically, against all apparent reason still end up with a good story. Mind blowing, I know. Good stories can make good stories.

A lot of celebrity cameos at that. Most comedians. The show has good humor without being overbearing like Marvel.
