Hey, guys! Well, the EA Celebrity Challenge is back. And this month, with The Sims becoming the top-selling computer game of all time, we thought it was only fitting we find somebody on the Sims team to chat with. Normally this is a very difficult process, because most of the team members say stuff like, "Jah! Ya bo needer lambikop!" during interviews(1), but we were able to find one who actually speaks English. We tracked down Virginia McArthur, the producer of Sims Vacation, now available for the PC at many fine stores (and even a few crummy ones). Virginia describes herself as a producer by day, and starving artist at night. She's into photography, painting, skiing, and snowshoeing, which is cool, except that she was kinda bummed you can't take your Sims snowshoeing. Anyway, we decided to take a moment to grill her on all things Vacation-related, so you can see how well you do matching wits with her...

Virginia, while relaxing in a Winter Wonderland, takes some time to discuss her controversial anti-Teddy-Bear stance.
