I sometimes feel like playing Spore, and I do occationally, but I'm always looking for a mod that reduces the amount of quests/pirate raids in the Space Stage as I would really just like to explore. It's annoying that I seem like the only one who's able to solve peoples problems and if I don't complete the quests I gain a diplomacy penalty with that alien race.

I can't explore because everyone needs my awesome skills of problem solving.

I simply kill everyone. Solves the problem!

I would probably play it again if the DRM on it wasn't some ultra draconian bullshit.

I feel you there.

I only dislike Spore because it was going to be so much more. For example, there was initially going to be a phase where you'd create the genetic makeup of your creature. It acted as a puzzle game, and if you messed something up it could mean that your creature has genetic deformities that could detriment them in the future. The beginning water phases were also supposed to be much longer, and you'd have to evolve quite a few times before you could go on land. These features were taken out because playtesters thought they were too hard.

The molecular, aquatic, and city stages were taken out. That frankly sucks ass, but the final product in and of itself isn't that bad.

Oh shit, I got a 3-in-one-page OOC thread combo. What do I win?

Four in one page combo! I'm winning this thread.

Shit, I've got to say something funny... uh, penis! Wait, no that's against the OOC rules. My usual genitalia tactics do not work here.

I shall punch you in the face with my fist of Bill Murray!

I couldn't resist the irony.

Five in one page. I am an OOC god.

Divekick looks ridiculous. But still pretty neat.

I beat Wrex in MtG last night, using a Budget Boros Aggro against some green deck, probably elves. Then he pulled out his Werewolves and Wolves deck and roflstomped my Modified Real Life Deck.

Edit: If you count Multicolored, Green DOES have an angel.

Leaving shortly to go pick up my inamorata for a weekend together in the mountains.

Man I'm going to out myself as an oldbie here, but she's not the first one either.

Yup. Back when a 2/3 Flying was a Legendary card.

EDIT: I friggin love Rebecca Guay's art. Right up there with Quinton Hoover and Anson Maddocks... before MtG art went all homogenized and polished.

Heh. Mine too.

[Bauglir]

Bah, I like the polish.

Anyway, I find myself confronted with a problem, but it's a game development one so it's a good thing. How to categorize 7 elements into a pair of cycles, one of resistance and one of dominance, in a way that makes them meaningful? And you can't just go backwards along one to get the other; the connections have to be distinct. I always find myself having a solid series, but being unable to close the loop.

A funny thing happened on the way to the dorm. No less than three separate people stopped and initiated conversations with me (one of whom was really quite cute), despite my appearance as a post-test grump. The conclusion to be drawn (given recent changes in my life) is obvious. I unknowingly used enchanted scissors to cut my hair.
