It's actually called 60 seconds with Bella. Here it is

[xFezIsAFreakx]

Oh wow, she is based on Bella Bachelor! She even says she was abducted by aliens, too!

[Tommyo3000]

Oh I didn't see the thing about being abducted by aliens! Yeah it's got to be her, plus she's wearing a red dress which Bella does in all 3 sims games.

One simple question: has this thing been launched yet? Most likely not. But if not, then when will it arrive?

[xFezIsAFreakx]

The beta testing is open now, I hear.

[TheChronicR]

Yeah, I noticed that too that's why I thought it has arrived already.

Actually I checked yesterday, and it gave me some error about bad getaway, I refreshed the page, it said "technical difficulties", and when I clicked on the picture of a signed nerd-Sim, it brought me to a PlayFish (or whatever it was) page. What's up with that? Does this game work properly for anyone?

[Naga]

It's working for me. At some points with lots of lag, but works.

I particularly like the game, despite the ordinary capitalist facebook-game cliches, such as "SimCash".

[TheChronicR]

Naga, I see you sent me about 6 requests. I tried accepting them all, but it brought me to a "beta testing, coming soon" screen. I believe it's not yet available in my country, but since it says "soon", I have no other choice but to genuinely believe it.

[Naga]

Sorry about those requests. I send them randomly to people haha, so if you don't actually want them, either ignore or block them.

That "coming soon" message pops to me sometimes too. You just gotta keep trying, and eventually you can log in the game.

No worries, I used to get hundreds with Farmville, lol. Ahh, I'll go see if it works now. Thanks.

ETA: This came is going to drive me nuts... Refreshed page about 30 times and still "coming soon".

[PJSim]

Maybe they don't mean that soon.

[TheChronicR]

Maybe they don't mean that soon.

Actually quite a lot of people got it to work, so it is just weird that I can't.

[TheChronicR]

One question: are we going to have a first impressions thread for this game or should anything and everything about it be asked/shared in this same thread? If there will be another thread, I did get it to work for a little while (about half an hour, before it showed me the "coming soon" screen) and would like to share my initial impression.

ETA: If anyone wishes to see my first impression, it's on my blog for now.

The game is pretty good but you run out of energy really fast and you have to either wait 5 minutes or pay money to do anything else.

Unless Carl says otherwise, just post anything you want to say here in this thread.  I don't know if he wants to do anything more with it or not.
