I think its kinda like Maxis where alot fo there games contain the syllable "sim" (Simcity; The Sims; Sim Earth; Sim Tower; etc...) even though I dont think they have a registered trademark on "SIM"

Sim means simulation.
The color blue might be his favorite color.
I like to put an "I-" before everything I make.

I think Jimmy's post was a joke involving blue people.
His sense of humour tends to be very...special...

I think he uses blue because it is a man-ly color. As insecure as Rob is about his sexuality, PinkGUI or PinkIDE or PinkMenus just wouldn't fly

Obviously. I meant that ever since they made their first game with the "sim" syllable they stuck with it. They couldve used words like "tycoon", "simulator" etc... but instead they stuck with "Sim" so hard that whenever you see a game that uses that Syllable, you can be sure its made by MAXIS. Which I think is the same case here.

This post is a waste of space. Anyone with half a braincell can work out why he starts everything with "BLUE".

It's because <insert comical reason here>.

Isn't it? Wasn't it? Marvellous!

I remember a town in earth bound where every thign was blue. People were blue all they said were blue things and houses were blue. Then when you enter this house you get attack by abunch of blue people.

The background of the forum is blue. Maybe that? BLOOD LUST USING ENDINGS. BE LITTLE USURPER EMPORERS... BE LIKE UNDERSTATING EXAMS.

On a side note, the Blue Man Group is a total ripoff of the Smurfs.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself
