Sometimes I think I was born backwards
Stuck on Foreplay/Longtime by Boston in Rock Band. Last God damned song I need to be finished with the vocal tour all together and get the Expert vocals achievement. Keep failing out at 90% because it goes stupid at the end, done it like 5 times :(

Edit: Nevermind, JUST got it just then. God damned fluke pretty much too, since I had JUST enough star power to activate Overdrive and save myself. Friggen hard song, I swear. Now just need to go 100% something (probably paranoid, already 5SG'd it) and I have all the vocal achievements for RB1... RB2 on the other hand... *sigh*

Edit 2: Got the flawless singing, flawless fretwork and flawless drumming achievements much earlier this arvo. Got the flawless singing on Muse's Hysteria, fretwork on Yeah Yeah Yeah's Maps and drumming on Stephen and the Colbert's Charlene (I'm right behind you).

I just realised that Spore lets you play the game without the disc in the drive... I can't remember a game release this decade that lets you do that. Maybe EA are getting overly confident in their SecuROM drivel? For all the ruccus it's caused Spore was still torrented before the game was fully released.
I think the game uses some online activation check... or maybe EA hopes that Spore's online sharing community (no Multiplayer Spore) is enough to entice people to buy it.

Anyways i played Spore over teh weekend and spent most of my time getting chased by those epic monstrocities in the Creature Phase (and all I wanted to do is kill one more creature that the Epic moster was always hanging around).

I've made it up to the Civilization age, but have hit a snag...

Due to my "creative" nature I've spent most of my time creating my buildings and vehicles. So far I've created something that looks like Final Fantasy VIII's Balamb Garden as my City Hall which I based it on this image Posted Image

I attempted to make a Factory based on the Shinra Building in Final Fantasy VII, but I stopped halfway (spent 2 hours getting the Balamb Garden dimensions right and it was time to sleep) as for my land vehicle, it's the best Metal Gear Rex that I could design using Spore's design constraints. Speaking of which, my creature is a griffon, but it has pincers instead of a beak... haven't unlocked the beaks yet and the wings are some massive razor things. :whistle:

I'll post up pictures of my stuff when I gets back from work.

It's quite a game, but it looks like most of it is taken up by creating your own creatures and buildings... but that depends on how much of a perfectionist you are.

Okay well here be the designs:

Posted Image
"Balamb Garden" City Hall - First attempt at ye olde Balamb Garden from FFVIII... The windows were the biggest biznatch to place since i didn't want to redo the middle top part of the building.

Posted Image
"Metal Gear 113" Land Vehicle - Here's a Spore rendition of Metal Gear Rex. Notice the lack of the awesome looking rail gun and the "Radome".. Spore doesnt let you place box that far out (you can only "build" them in the centre and then stretch them out)

Posted Image
"Midgarts" Factory - Created this for the time being... Will make a new one that resembles more of the Shinra Building in FFVII... too bad Spore doesn;t have Pipes =(

And lastly...

Without unlocking a chunk of the "Bird" Features for Spore, here's my Griffon thing:

Posted Image

Edit: If you're wondering why it's wearing shields and whatnot, is that you can add them as part of your "Tribal Outfit"

Sense is not common.
Looks cool! It's a shame you missed all the bird bits. Here's the dudes I'm currently playing - almost through the space age. Wormholes FTW! How do your tribal guys go with no arms? I've wanted to try that...

Damn, that's some pretty cool stuff guys! Quick question, do the buildings all have to be the same colour scheme?

Chia, for the armless creatures, just build two sets of feet and forget about adding arms and whatnot - it looks funny in the Tribal Movie when they're hammering the floor with sticks in their mouths. And that's a pretty sweet looking creature :)

Demaar, yeah those two buildings have the same colour scheme, but my entertainment centre doesn't. You can have different colour schemes for each building or the same ones.

Lastly, I found out I had the bird parts in the Creation Area. I had a better attempt at creating the gryphon:

There it is without it's tribal gear.

Considering you can only install it a limited number of times, and on only one PC, I'd say they are pretty confident.
