Please dear God we hope these people don't have families of their own. The weirdly creative torture and absolutely psychopathic behavior people display when they're in control of simulated families only means that we are troubled, dark gods. The Sims has given birth to many creepy, strange and hilarious moments.
It's not often that a majestic feline interrupts a National Rugby League match, so the appearance of this cat at Pepper Stadium in Australia was sure to make headlines. And we're so glad reddit was paying attention to the news this weekend, otherwise we might have missed it.
