Maybe because it doesn’t involve multiple trips to Home Depot in the same damn day, or accidents that lead to other unrelated DIY projects – like the time I was cleaning out the refrigerator and managed to shatter one of the glass shelves into a billion tiny pieces. But the idea of fixing up and redecorating virtual homes is surprisingly appealing to me. And unlike my wife’s HGTV obsession, I can’t even pretend that the virtual remodeling is educational – you clean toilets in the game by vaguely waving a push broom at them! You’ll never catch Joanna Gaines doing that – though Chip probably would, the big dumb idiot…Īnyway, House Flipper actually all that fun, so I only enjoy playing it slightly more than I do real housecleaning.
I already mentioned it a paragraph ago (seriously, are you even reading this or just looking at the pictures?), but House Flipper is the ultimate example of something I’d rather play in a video game than live through in real life.
