Or in my case, gag reflex. I nearly broke my dentist's arm when getting a mold made for a nightguard.

Pretty much. And I can't really think of a better way to go about it.Perhaps not making the assumption that every pet owner is an immoral jerkass who beats animals with a baseball bat?
See if any of the gas pumps at the petrol station work. If so, douse the museum and light it up.
Ayup.Goddamit, Darvi.
That...sucks.it turned into vaporware a while ago.LW posted this in the RAGE thread in response to all the (Perfectly justified) EA-bashing.I'm not holding my breath, to be honest. Isn't there at least one other indie project with a similar idea that's been vaporware for years?Thrive is an Indie project widely inspired by the concept behind Spore. Though Spore was initially billed as a realistic, scientific game about evolution, the final product got watered down until it had practically nothing to do with science or reality. Thrive aims to succeed where Spore failed. Thrive will be a free, open-source game created by an online community of dedicated volunteers. They seek to accomplish two major goals: create engaging, compelling gameplay that respects the players’ intelligence, and remain as accurate as possible in their depiction of known scientific theory.
YEEES
I would sell my kidneys to fund a game like that.
Are you asking what vaporware is, or what they're talking about?What is vaporware, and why is it supposedly bad?
What is this vaporware?From what I've seen, it pretty much is. Sorry.Fingers crossed for no vapourware!Thrive is an Indie project widely inspired by the concept behind Spore.

I remember getting all excited, then disappointed. Then still shelling out something in the neighborhood of eighty bucks for the damn thing.60. I will enjoy watching EA die.
Yes, I am eager to see what you come up with. "Twill be...glorious. (And don't let us pressure you if you don't want to. Your game, not ours.)I'm just saying that you can probably leave it at that level of detail ("There are giant lizards. Goblins worship them. Humans eat them. Hence, Gobs hate Humes.") Let's get to the game!Don't too bogged down in details. That's where I currently am with my forum-game-sideproject. It's ready to go, but I just have to add that one. final. detail. Then I see something else to add.
O, the lizards are enormous and will literally be the center of goblin society/the reason they hate EVERYONE.
