Installing now, although it has just frozen at 23% twice in a row. I took the CD out and rubbed off a particularly large smudge this time, so it could be ok......
*update* Ok, it would seem that the game's refusal to install was down to the h4x I tried installing to get it to run without the CD. The game refused to install when it detected said h4x, despite them not actually working. I have to give Maxis some props for their impressive security features.
Anyway, h4x deleted, game installed and working, and preparations are underway. I'm currently making some little adjustments to the game (via a nice little editor I found) which I will need in order to do some of the stuff i'm going to want to do for this <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The contestants have been selected! I've adjusted a few things within the game to make things interesting; for starters, some contestants will have likes or dislikes for certain characters right from the start based on their personalities. For example; Mimi likes pretty much everyone, but no-one really likes her much... I mean who honestly likes mimes? That said no-one actually hates her..... yet.
Buzz Nukem, Duke's little brother. He's still pretty mad that he didn't get the part of the hero in Duke Nukem Forever. He doesn't like Gordon much, basically because he became a better action hero than him without even really trying.
Likes: Guns, killing things, killing things with guns. Dislikes: Gordon, Gordon's family, Everyone Gordon knows, Everyone Gordon doesn't know.
Ayumi... because I don't know many Japanese names and I didn't want to call her Rei or Asuka. I think she's some kind of time commando from the future on a mission to save humanity, but its kind of hard to tell since she doesn't speak english.
Likes: Hard to tell since she doesn't speak english. Dislikes: Tentacles.
I realise her head should be about 1/3 the size of her whole body, but sadly there are some limitations to the Sims 2's genetics engine.
We were going to get Alyx Vance on, but unfortunately her plane was hijacked by "Mothers Against Video-game Violence", so we put MAVV's ringleader into the house as punishment.
Likes: Petitions, protests, writing letters of complaint Dislikes: Video games, video game characters (i.e, Buzz and Gordon)
I thought the house needed a hate figure <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Personally I think I should make a guest apperance, (yes me in person) and like... become a tentacle loving woman and try to get on with the anime girl. :-)

After that, the characters will be killed off in order of popularity (i.e, lack therof). The final two will take part in some kind of firey apocalyptic battle to the deah which I have yet to devise.
I really did try to download a sailor suit costume for the Anime girl (you've got to give me SOME credit for the blue hair), but sadly I had to stick with the red bodysuit thing on the basis that it looks kinda like a plug suit from Evangelion.... yeah.

Meh. Just don't show Gary Coleman this. He got really mad when a radio persona here in Houston (94.5, The Buzz) put him on her "death list." That morning show was making bets on who would die, celebrity wise, this year. Kinda horrific, actually. Well, I guess this isn't as bad.
