Okay now people who never read the unedited OP are jumping on me. Seriously, my comment was not as terrible as certain people are making it seem. It was more inappropriate and snide than abusive.

"I have nothing against Wilson, but he's nowhere near the same calibre of QB as Flutie. Flutie threw for 5k+ yards in the CFL." -Ben Kenobi
wow. Indignation from the guy who routinely calls people retards.

The word '******' has changed like 'idiot', 'moron', 'imbecile' and 'cretin' before it - all originally descriptions of specific mental disorders / conditions.
The Euphemism Treadmill sees all these words eventually become generic insults.

If I were you, I'd take a moment to think about why it is I say those things in the first place. If you don't know why you say the things you say (and I'm getting that impression), that's a problem. And with that said, hey, you apologized, we can probably stop dogpiling on you and discuss the OP.
"Forklift simulator" doesn't sound all that fun to me, but then neither does "roll a bunch of random adhesive garbage around a suburb to form the largest possible wad of crap," and apparently some Japanese company made a very addictive game out of that. Never played it, but so I'm told. And "DJ Hero" just sounds idiotic to me, but I assume they're selling at least a few units.
On the flip-side, there's MMOs. Explore a gigantic, immersive fantasy environment, populated by thousands as a wizard, warrior, archer, thief, etc. Then you play it and realize you're mostly just killing the same respawning giant Ewoks a hundred times over to gain favor with some other faction of giant Ewoks. At least, that's what I gained from watching my old college roommate play WoW. Maybe it's actually triple-layered, where it initially sounds awesome, then looks stupid and tedious, but when you play it it's really awesome after all.
Garden simulator--I'd rather just grow the garden and get fresh food out of it. But I can see how that could be potentially sort-of charming. No dumber than The Sims, at least. Either way you're watching electronic components interact with minimal input. I do wonder: if you plant mint in the garden simulator, does it cackle maniacally and set out on a genocidal campaign to destroy all the other plants in the garden like it does in real life?
it's a lot like a really old episode of the Simpsons where Bart and Lisa didn't want to do yard-work but when they went to some convention thing later in the episode, were excited to play Virtual Reality Yard-Work.

KH (and Drake) call me an Aspie all the time as an insult. No one minds. (Honestly, not even myself... except now that he's gone all high and mighty about such things it's worth bringing up.) Now KH is championing the cause of not insulting peole based on psychological disorders, and all the usual suspects are dogpiling on.
Sorta like KH insults essentially everyone in Lancer's family (not my family yet, though that's more just a technicality), with the dogpile joining in. Then gets pissy when Sloww does similar to him, same people, same dogpile the other way.
