User blog comment:Lost Labyrinth/How did you first wind up playing The Sims?/@comment-24.210.69.253-20120306004143

i heard about it through friends and i started watching youtube machinimas of sims 2, it freaking blew my mind :) i loved playing with dolls as a kid and this seemed like the "more mature" kind of doll-play with more options and i didn't have to clean up a mess. i've pretty much been hooked ever since then -- which was about 2007-2008 :p
