Fun fact: The whole time this was being filmed, Shayne was actually just playing Hades II, and all of this was made up by him
Courtney and Trevor’s hairstyles are giving siblings, musical duo, and pokemon evolution vibes all at the same time
To tell your 19-YEAR-OLD girlfriend as a 26-YEAR-OLD MAN that her relationship with her fictional husband in a game is inappropriate is CRAZY WORK
“How dare she have an inappropriate relationship in a video game!” says the guy who pursued an inappropriate relationship with a minor
53:05 Wait, you're telling me that the 24 year old that started dating a 17 year old is controlling? Never would have guessed.
As a woman who grew up playing with polly pocket and barbie, what the daughter is doing in the first story would happen anyway lol. Kids are wild.
“she’s been fostering an innapropriate relationship in the game.” man you’ve been fostering an inappropriate relationship IN REAL LIFE.
46:41 I mean, he isn't stopping his kid from getting a switch. He's just giving his kid an opportunity to get a switch earlier and with financial help.
24:43 THIS IS THE REAL LIFE "OH, YOU LIKE [THIS BAND]? NAME THREE OF THEIR SONGS" OH MY GOD 🤣
My friend was envious of the Goth household in the Sims 2 because they had a cemetery and she couldn’t build her own on her lot. Her solution? Create a household with the max number of Sims and lock the ones she didn’t want in a room with a fireplace, throw rugs,and chessboards, and then set the room on fire (by lighting said fireplace). Voila! She had a bunch of gravestones at her disposal.
