Why can't real installers be like this? It's a cool-looking, changing Spirograph, with awesome music to go with it. Instead we get "Loading... Loading... Loading..." or something similar.

True to the title, it's kind of modeled on the Sims loading screen, which doesn't have fancy graphics really, but does have pleasant music and the same little nonsense descriptor bar.

[zchris13]

If loading bars were like that it would take 5x as long to install anything.

[Jackrabbit]

But people would be so busy basking in awesome they wouldn't care.

What do you suppose Skaia's system requirements are?  Because I'm sure Rose's laptop is pretty nice, but it's still just a laptop.  Seems like it would need quite a bit of processing power.  Or maybe not, since it doesn't have to render or natively calculate much of anything.

Dave... will smash an LP.  YOU HEAR ME? AN ALBUM. VINYL. SCRATCH-DISK.

It's probably like a terminal system; we've seen plenty of Sburb structures around the place with otherwise inexplicable connections to the game.

Seven? I count ten, one of which is (not quite) clearly the Skaia logo.

Hmph.

Squatting frog
Frog head
Double-lotus
Single-lotus
Crested left alligator
Crested right alligator
Smooth left alligator
Smooth right alligator
Skaia logo
Turtle

Clearly, the mirror-reflections of right-left alligators serve only to provide balance and symmetry to the script of the Andrewvians.  The Andrewvian tribe has been noted to preserve symmetry to a fault, which results in massive losses of efficiency.  The two are the same character, with the crest serving to indicate the voiced version of the smooth alligator.

Thus... there's 7.  I was right.

[ToonyMan]

To be honest this symmetry thing isn't that cool.
Might as well have EVERYTHING be the same, but that would be boring.  Right?  EXACTLY.

What it should be, is small unimportant coincidences.  That be cool.

[Neruz]

It'll be just enough symmetry to make you think it's going to all be symmetrical, then BAM.

[zchris13]

Suddenly the symmetry is RADIAL.

[ToonyMan]

So, I wonder where John is going to end up?

[Dragooble]

An alternate reality of where he currently is.
New pretty horrifying pink eldritch princess cat abomination avatar.

[ToonyMan]

Yeah, I mean where else can he go besides an alternate reality place?

Oh, and Aqizzar was right about the planet thing, we actually got to see it now.

[Aqizzar]

Is the cat avatar male or female?  Because it's made of a Princess doll and a cat named Jasper.

[Osmosis Jones]

With those whiskers? Male all the way 

Who are you to judge him if he likes to get up to a little crossdressing on the side
