How many people here even own a legal copy of Spore?

Id love to share my creations! such as my extensive supply of Space Faring creatures!

I'm on the Sporepedia as Alfadorfox. Have been since I downloaded the trial, then bought the Creature Creator.

I bought Spore because I wanted to support Maxis, even though it made my teeth grind to know that I was inevitably also supporting EA by doing so. When would I resort to piracy for Spore? ...Why, when my number of installs runs out, of course, because I don't want to deal with the bullshit they undoubtedly have set up to harass people into buying a second copy of the game. All I'd need would be a version that has no DRM and no install key needed, assuming the connection to Sporepedia is separate and requires only that you have a valid game copy running and a valid login (I've had people with their own accounts log in on my laptop's install with no problems, though it still pops up as my saved galaxy there, so this seems to be the case.) rather than verifying the DRM there too.

We were shown pictures of people prancing about on the surface of the moon. What we got was a ride on the Vomit Comet. Disappointing for those who wanted a lunar vacation, but I'm still having loads of fun enjoying what I've got. Glass is half full, in my opinion, and despite the hype I don't really expect full glasses from the games industry anymore. Complaining about the suck isn't going to give us better games.




Toady One is.

Once we have more general corpse-dropping, we can have phoenixes drop eggs on death that hatch into themselves all over again, possessed horrors turning into harmless villagers when defeated, and steel mechanical monstrosities that, when hacked apart, release the woodland creatures contained within. (This is an image of a hedgehog in sapphire. The hedgehog is surrounded by the bronze collosi. The hedgehog is laughing. Sega is withering away.)

I once had The Sword of Death.

Wish the current grammar allowed for "Sword of Inevitable Justice."

Or "Scrapyard of Insufferable Arrogance?"

At work so I can't check the dictionary, but I think we might be missing some of those words. Which is sad.

stopped fell moods from occurring if the fortress race does not drop a corpse

Seriously... It's a pretty in-depth game that needs that particular fix...

Because Toady knows there will be mods, and does not want them to be able to break the game without trying very hard.

Not the silliest, but the most macabre of all artifacts I've ever had was a horse bone bin. It menaced with spikes of horse bone. Carved on it is an image of flies. Carved on it is an image of purring maggots.

Created by a small dwarven girl, probably about 5 years old. 

She creates a box made of bone, decorated with images of flies and maggots?! 

"I *need* a pony!!" "...what, you thought I wanted one to ride?"
