Author: Barbie and Ken have new looks and very possibly a new lease on life…and love.
For Barbie fans, the state of affairs between Barbie and Ken leaves cause for concern. Together for 43 years, the famous couple called it quits in 2004. Many long-time devotees to Barbie games were shocked when the long-term couple split, but others claim to have seen the end coming well before it arrived. Apart now for four years, there are rumors that Barbie and Ken have been spotted together more frequently. These are lending fuel to gossip that the pair might be seeking reconciliation.
The two plastic celebrities met on the set of a television commercial in 1961, and have been together ever since. Despite many well publicized balls, parties, and special occasions, the pair never married and finally reached a point where they needed a bit of distance from each other. There were rumors at the time of the break-up that both parties were seeking attention from newer dolls, but no new relationships ever came from that gossip.
The New Ken
In 2004, Ken left Barbie amicably seeking a new single life. In 2006, he returned more muscular and attractive than ever. While nothing is sure regarding the two years he was out of the spotlight, it’s obvious at least some of his time was used to develop a new physique and a new style.
When Ken came back into Barbie’s social arena, he was immediately in competition with other fit, attractive types, and Barbie stayed cool. Or at least she appeared to at the time. She complimented his new look through her publicist, but didn’t seem to return his renewed affections. In 2007, however, Barbie made a few changes in her life. She developed a fitter, more natural look and took on some of the latest styles. She changed careers (again) and made new friends. And most importantly, the small changes she’s made seem to have brought Barbie back into the dating game.
The New Barbie
When a woman feels good about herself, her self esteem ratchets up and so does her general state of productivity and happiness. Barbie looks good and feels great, and the men in her life – including Ken – are definitely taking notice.
Over the last year, Barbie and Ken have been seen leaving stores together and appearing together in television spots. The pair was thought to have reconciled in 2006, but all evidence now shows that the two might indeed be reaching a new level of commitment in their relationship in 2008.
The New Relationship
Barbie is a new woman, proud of her figure and her accomplishments. On her own for the first time in four decades, she showed the world that a woman can survive and most definitely thrive on her own. Being apart gave both Barbie and Ken a golden opportunity to redefine themselves and seek new beginnings. And now that they have new outlooks on life, they also seem to have a very positive outlook on their future together. We wish them the best of luck.

For some time now, I have been hearing a lot about these Online Role Playing games. I wondered what all this was all about, when I slammed into Final Fantasy SIM Date Role Playing. The name itself sounded quite appealing to me, and seemed like some kind of a fantasy game. Even before I could start playing this game for the first time, I started to think of some fantasies assuming that would be the objective of this game.
Slowly, as I got to understand the game better, I realized that the objective of this game is slightly different at that. As a player, you would need to seduce one of the many final fantasy characters in this game. It may look like being a porn game, but in reality it is a decent online dating game. So, with this game, there is no way that someone can think they are abused. But with that being said, this is highly recommended for mature adults.
Strong points:
” One of the few games in the World Wide Web that touches the topic of dating. In fact, you would find that playing this game you tend to develop some good skills that could help you in real life.
” Seducing women, of course in the right sense, is a task not many have mastered successfully. This game provides a lot of tips for people to master this art. One thing though – For a newbie to this game, it would still take some time for him to grasp things, but the game does work well!
” In a web world, where you can see mindless action games floating around, this game brings a fresh lease of life for all gaming lovers, who wish to spend some time on their computers fiddling around with their joystick and keyboards.
Weaknesses
” Instructions need improvement – Four weeks to master this game? Too long by any stretch of imagination! Being an avid gamer myself, I had serious problems adjusting to the controls of this game. Some controls I just found by accidence. This leaves the instructions manual a lot to be desired.
” Subjective concept – Dating is a very subjective concept, and though this game has good intentions of guiding people to effective skills, it has often been misconstrued by a lot of people. I have seen some of my friends playing this game with the sole objective of seducing women, while the game itself has a lot more value to add.
Rating:
I would surely have loved to rate Final Fantasy a 5 on 5, but given its area of improvements on the controls front, I would give it a 4. With this being said, I am sure people who have thought of this game and developed it would surely be working to get rid of the minor issues.
Recommendation:
Bottom-line, I would recommend this game for one and all, with age being a bar. It is always good to have some tips on the dating front. And what better than experiencing the tips by means of a game!
