Despite a self-imposed freeze on spending, on Tuesday I bought the much awaited game SPORE at Target. (Now the only highly anticipated release on my short list of "gotta have it games" is Fallout 3)
Well worth the 50 bucks! The game is a true Will Wright masterpiece (again) and will probably be a stupendous seller rivaling other landmark sales records broken by his stuff (the superb "Sim City" and "The Sims" series of games).
Needless to say, I'm barely getting enough sleep.
But my creatures need me!
Meet a member of the race I call Primogenex. These guys are my first creation, thus their name...get it? (Primo=First, Genex=Genetics) They're currently trying to build a little proto-society in the Tribal phase of the game. I tried to go as peaceful and social as I could with these people, but during the Creature Era, I had to have them evolve more and more aggressive adaptations in order to survive. So unlike their wussie ancestors who died out eons ago, these dudes have had to learn to "grow a pair". They are still mainly social though, and I'm trying to develop them to be collaborators.
I downloaded the free Creature Creator tool trial version here at work so I'm busily pumpin' out new and funky creations throughout the day and uploading them to the Spore Metaverse. Notice my new SPORE widget to the right. What a fun and creative way to pass the time. I love my job! It's a shame it's coming to an end.
Eh well, in real life as in the game, it's a creature-eat-creature world.
What's a simple human to do?
