ORIGINAL SIM If you liked The Sims, the best-selling computer game that simulates ordinary life, you'll definitely have the hots for The Sims: Hot Date ($30). Building on the virtual world of The Sims, Hot Date adds more complex relationships and a funky downtown setting with night spots where your Sims can now engage in several new "interactions"--including the "suave kiss." the "dip kiss," and, if necessary, the Springeresque "slap fight...
There are many possibilities. Maybe an eight-team playoff is too simple. Maybe we could conduct an online fan poll at ESPN.com. Two kids could play a virtual season using NCAA 2002 for PS2. We could tally GameDay appearances. We could tally player felonies (misdemeanors count for .5). The coaches could always thumb-wrestle for the right to play if all else failed...

The Hazara district in the north of the city is again a virtual no-go area for other tribes. Lootings, hijackings and robberies are commonplace. Two men were killed and five injured last week when a patrol of Atta's soldiers tried to stop a group of Mohaqiq's men supposedly stealing a car. The same night, Hazaras also hijacked a taxi and beat...
