LOS ANGELES — Even though it hasn’t started filming yet The Sims movie is projected to earn 2 billion at the box office as LuckyChap Entertainment confirmed they will be using the ‘motherlode’ cheat.
Margot Robbie explained the use of the cheat as part of the production.
“Making a movie profitable is hard. Actors, sets, time, all of these things eat into the budget and need to be counterbalanced by ticket sales to make a movie successful,” said Robbie. “But while we were discussing a possible budget, we found out we could just hold control, shift, and c on the design document to open the cheat menu. From there all we had to do was type ‘motherlode’ to generate 50,000$ in ticket sales. Take that, James Cameron”
To reach these record-breaking sales figures, however, the production leads had to sacrifice some creativity.
“Making two billion dollars in fifty thousand dollar increments is a time-consuming process so much so that we’ve had the writers inputting the code over and over again rather than writing an actual script. Writing things like ‘freebee jay’ and ‘boobasnoot’ over and over again is what writers are for anyway,” said Robbie
When asked at what point they intended to stop, LuckyChap Financial Officer Sally Condor didn’t have a clear answer.
“I don’t know. Once we beat Avatar I guess? We need to make sure we have enough capital to build the set and make the family look just right.” So far they have input the code 40,000 times, a process which has taken weeks. We still haven’t found the time to get a ladder for the pool, who knows if we will at this point? We’ll probably just use green screen and CGI to make the house and customize the characters.”
At press time, sources report that none of the increased funds will go to the overworked VFX crew.
The antitrust lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice has been ignored by Apple due to the entirety of the suit being printed inside of a green text bubble.
Brenda Anderson, legal counsel for Apple, commented on the lawsuit.
“This lawsuit is just another in a long list of slights against my client. The only thing they are guilty of is providing a magical and revolutionary experience for their customers,” Anderson said. “Add to that the fact that this entire farce of a lawsuit was printed inside of a disgusting green text bubble, and it becomes all too apparent this is blatant overreach by the federal government. Apple will go through the claims alleged against them when the DOJ decides to serve them in a less offensive manner. Preferably in a pleasant blue bubble.”
A DOJ spokesperson shared comments at a press briefing after it was apparent Apple had no intention of responding until the text bubble was changed.
“The ‘Walled Garden’ Apple has built around themselves is just another example of Big Tech abusing the power they’ve been given by consumers. Consumers they are causing active harm to, and it simply won’t stand. Can you imagine if the U.S. Government was ignoring or making excuses for an ally that was actively engaged in some sort of campaign that was doing unspeakable harm to innocent civilians? I think not.” The spokesperson said.
Tim Cook, Apple CEO, claims this lawsuit has no merit, despite having not read it.
“At Apple, we’re focused on delivering the best products ever made to our customers, even if it means creating a worse user experience for everyone. It’s why we courageously removed the headphone jack from the iPhone, it’s why we valiantly make our products impossible to repair, and it’s why we simply ignore anything sent to us inside of a green bubble,” Cook said. When asked what the DOJ needed to do in order for Apple to receive the message Cook said, “You should buy the DOJ an iPhone.”
At press time Apple had offered to FacTime the DOJ to further discuss things, unfortunately they only have Google Meet

LOS ANGELES — LuckyChap and EA announced that The Sims movie is set to be classified as a foreign language film thanks to plans for all of the dialogue to be in Simlish.
Producer Margot Robbie explained the reasoning behind the decision.
“We want to be completely authentic to the series, not just for the fans but also for artistic integrity. If you’re going to change such a vital element then you might as well make something else,” said Robbie. “We’re going to make sure the whole cast can speak fluent Simlish. We’re currently in the process of looking for experts in the language, which — admittedly, is proving tough — because a lot of them are not willing to leave their basements.”
“Video game films generally don’t get much respect from film critics and awards bodies, but the foreign language classification means they’ll have to take it seriously. The Academy barely watches anything in the foreign category so we’re a shoo-in to get a nomination by default. They’ll just give it to us assuming we’re serious.”
Director Kate Herron says the foreign language classification is what drew her to the project.
“I’m just coming off of directing Loki, so I was really trepidatious about signing on to do a video game-themed movie. I can’t go from one unserious project to another — but once they told me the actors would be speaking Simlish, I was in. I knew that having the film in any language other than English would ensure it is taken seriously by the Hollywood elite.”
Kyle Scott, a Sims enthusiast, had mixed feelings about the news.
“I’m really excited that they’re making a Sims movie, and the fact that they’re respecting the games by having them in Simlish is awesome,” Scott said. “But I don’t really watch movies that aren’t in English. I’m not one of those film snobs who loves reading subtitles so I can feel superior to everyone. Besides, who wants to read while they’re trying to watch a movie?”
At press time, nerd-centric podcasts have begun deeming the film as pretentious.
The full patch notes for Backpack Battles patch 0.9.2 on March 22 are below:
Hi everyone,It's been two weeks since Backpack Battles released into Early Access. This week, we overhauled the title screen, it's still work-in-progress but we think it’s cleaner already!Also, it’s time for more balance adjustments. The last patch helped bring the new classes more in line, but especially the Pyromancer was still very strong.The goal of this patch is to bring Berserker and Pyromancer more in line and to nerf some of the dominant subclasses. We will monitor the effect of these changes and will make more adjustments next week!
You open your junk drawer and oh boy, not again. It seems your dad has thrown all of the stray cords in the house into one overstuffed drawer. Why has he done this, convenience? Laziness? Or perhaps he just didn’t know where else to shove ‘em all. Or what they all do for that matter!
You, of course, are different. You are not your father. You have knowledge and perhaps even nostalgia for every entwined and crumbled object that lies within this infamous drawer. That lucky silver dollar you found on the bus when you were twelve, your ex-girlfriend Janice’s scrunchie, and that off putting postcard from your uncle you don’t talk to anymore.
Of course, some of this paraphernalia is simply lying in purgatory in this drawer, many of them being all these ancient and mysterious cords. Here’s some help deciding which ones you can cast into their final resting place in the garbage or which ones deserve a chance at resurrection.
13. USB-A to USB-B
This may seem useful for devices like… printers? But printers are now wireless, paper copies are dead and you will never need one again. Keep it anyways.
12. 3-foot Ethernet Cable
This won’t even cover the distance from your PC to your router. The only useful Ethernet cables should be 10 feet to make it across the room, or 100 feet to make it over your neighbor’s place when Comcast decides to betray you. Anything else should be illegal. Keep.
11. 27 different Micro-USB cables of various lengths
You only have, like, one device left that needs Micro-USB. Do you need this many, truly? Yes, yes you do. Also, next time you need one just order another from Amazon. You can never have too many of these. You’re also going to want to make room for the 27 USB-C cables you will have within a year or two.
10. Aux to Aux
Apple got rid of them, but you will not. Must keep!
Look, there’s no denying that private space travel is becoming a major industry and when this world becomes unlivable do you want to be left behind? It’s well documented that high quality wire and cable was essential to those missions to Mars. Hold onto this one if you have the space.
8. Apple 30-pin Connector
Let’s face it, your music taste has gone downhill since Limewire. You may need this the next time you get roasted by your own Spotify Wrapped. I’m sure your iPod Nano is in here somewhere.
7. Jumper Cables
These should be in your car. Why aren’t they in your car? Keep here anyways.
6. HDMI cords
Between your dual monitor gaming rig, 55” 4K OLED TV, portable screen, old laptop dedicated to piracy, dusty closet PS2, and your Luddite roommates, having any less than 16 HDMI cords is a mistake. Even if they are all broken. Keep anyways.
5. Gameboy Link Cable
You never know when your buddy Jeff from the 6th grade will show up and challenge you to a Link Battle rematch on FireRed. You don’t want to be caught unprepared at your 20 year reunion. Keep.
4. Frayed cable of unknown use or origin
This could go to something important. Keep.
3. RCA (Yellow/Red/White) Connector
Absolutely essential. There’s almost certainly, probably, still a VHS or pre-HDMI DVD player hiding in your house, how else will you watch Lion King 1 ½ again without it?
2. USB Breakaway Cable For Xbox 360 Wired Controller
You may remember these, the short cord that went from a typical USB-A to some never-before, and never-after seen, silly round doo-dad. Seemingly useless, but – compared to modern-day stick-drifting, bumper-breaking, plastic-component monstrosities – your 360 controller will outlive you and possibly your offspring.
1. The one cable you need right now
Wait, why isn’t this in here? Are you kidding me?!

LOS ANGELES — According to reports, a movie based on The Sims is in the works from Margot Robbie’s production company LuckyChap. Sources confirmed that Chris Pratt has been cast in the film as the next door neighbor who spends all day walking around his living room.
Casting Director Jenna Cole revealed the role will change how fans see the actor.
“We wanted to cast Chris in a role that would be recognizable by Sims fans as a cornerstone character,” said Cole. “Chris won’t be a Landgraab or a Goth. Pigeonholing him into such a role wouldn’t be a challenge for his talent. Instead, we’ve placed Chris as a notable, mysterious, and instantly recognizable character: Dan, the protagonist’s next door neighbor who never leaves his living room. It’s a transformative role for him.”
Pratt is excited for the role to stretch his acting muscles.
“In most of my roles like Guardians or Jurassic World, you see a confident, silly, happy-go-lucky character with plenty of charm, agency, and charisma. But now I get to show my range by being an incoherent, inarticulate, bumbling fool. My house won’t have a door, a toilet, a shower, or a fridge. Dan’s only purpose will be in the background — constantly struggling and fighting for his life. It’s exciting, especially since I’m a huge fan of the series. I remember having so much fun playing Sims and stomping koopas as a kid,” said Pratt
Cole did confirm that the casting was made partly as a means to embarrass the actor.
“Yes. We want to see Chris Pratt on his knees, peeing his pants. Whenever the protagonist walks nearby his house in Willow Creek, he will be walking back and forth between the TV and the bookshelf, his red plumbob accompanying him everywhere. He’s already practicing his Simlish, but only phrases that convey true terror and monotony.”
At press time, several sources also mentioned that they’ve heard Pratt’s Sim voice and revealed it will be like nothing you’ve ever heard before.
