Games: The Adventures of Gordon Brown in The Sims 3 – Part 2

[And so we return to Sunset Valley, and the complete misadventures of Gordon Brown.  Part one here.]

After Tony Blair pisses off home, our hero decides to have a bit of a dance to celebrate:

The next day Gordon Brown heads into town to buy some more boring books about finance and possibly even a book about murder. He also goes to the grocery store and buys an egg. Afterwards, he sees a political rival’s car in the parking lot and goes round the back to scratch it with his keys. Unfortunately, as our Gordon isn’t very good at stealth, he gets collared by a local copper by the bins.

He can’t even look at the officer, the shame is too much.

In a humiliation-fuelled rage, Gordon fucks off round the corner where he sees a meathead wearing an ‘I <3 Tony Blair’ t-shirt. It’s all just too much and he snaps, slapping the man in the face.

Jesus Christ…

Enraged, Gordon decides to visit the local library to try and calm down by trolling an internet forum.

It works and he decides to go to the beach for a BBQ cook-off contest.

Nobody talks to him. In fact, everybody steers well clear of the miserable shit, even though his hotdogs win the contest.

Lost in his own thoughts of despair, he tries a spot of night fishing. He doesn’t catch anything.

Then suddenly he spies a glinting from the corner of his eye. Its a chunk of raw silver! He quickly sprints to it before anyone else gets it.

That will add nicely to Gordon’s treasury.

Now then, I’d like to apologise for forgetting to take a few screenshots, as I was too wrapped up in the game.

Gordon’s new political career has surprisingly been going rather well, working his way back up from polishing podiums to a full blown campaign to become the Mayor of Sunset Valley. He has also made a couple of acquaintances and invites them over for a campaign fund-raiser. He even invites Tony. The party gets off to a cracking start with everybody dancing around Gordon’s hovel like people possessed. Gordon even wears jeans!

Gordon and Tony start to get down…

sims14

No idea who the child with extremely premature greying hair is. Probably one of Tony’s “friends”.

sims15

Tony and Frank Oz do some bizarre dance that I can’t even comprehend but blows my mind anyway.

sims16

All the guests and even Gordon have a fabulous time and donate a ton of cash to Gordon’s campaign fund. Overjoyed, Gordon goes to bed and sleeps soundly, without terrible nightmares for the first time in his life.

The next day Gordon is a changed man. Instead of wearing his trademark black suit he wears something a little more casual. He even goes for a bike ride!

sims18

He’s so happy that later at the park, Gordon gets back to nature catching butterflies.

Things could really be looking up for Gordon Brown, and for now his face is a little less the pallid grey colour of a month-old rotting corpse.

Will Gordon Brown become mayor or Sunset valley? Will Gordon and Tony’s friendship dissolve into chaos again? Will Gordon find true love?

All these questions will be answered soon. If I can be arsed.
