So I've been playing Spore...
...I know, I know;
"DRM, grumble, grumble"
but honestly, it's a problem right up until you realise that it's the price you pay for the internet goodies i.e. if you 'stand on principle' and download a cracked version, refusing to pay for a product because its manufacturers are treating you like a criminal before they've even got to know you... (anyone else see the irony here?), then the worlds you play in are not populated by other people's creations in their games of Spore __and__ you can't do this:
I know it's not that exciting, but I am enjoying my current game, and these are some of the creations that have come out of it - can you tell that the Girdoce (the name of my creature for this iteration of the game) are a war-like people? I got loads of 'achivements' for going the all-out war route that made me laugh - I have to say that as a strategy it does work rather well, at least as far as 'winning' the Civilisation section...
Now if only I could get away with actually playing it at work...
..::EDIT::..
The people behind the Spore website (Lightmaker) are a shoddy bunch of Slapdash Grizeldas - the embed code that they provide on the 'My Spore' site simply doesn't work for embedding that widget in blogs. It's a good job that web development is my job, or I might have lost my temper with it...
