Spore

Is anyone else as excited about this as I am. I've made 45 or so creatures with the editors, and I just got it three days ago.

 

Nope. I've been hearing about this game for so damned long I'm starting to compare it to Duke Nukem Forever.

Duke Nukem released a new trailer a year ago at E3, Spore released the creature generator. It's also sort of like Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. We can't finish the game so let's release what we can and move on to the next big money maker.

 

Don't you dare compare it to DNF. The Spore team has actually released stuff. The DNF team has been drinking beer. Big bad difference.

 

I've never heard so much hype for a game without actually knowing what the hell its premise is. All I know is, long, drawnout hype/PR is always bad hype/PR because eventually the big release day comes and everyone's collective reaction is normally "What, so this is what we've been waiting all this time for??"

 

The reaction to the creature creator was something in the neighborhood of "holy cow, this is the SHIT dude!", though.

 

And that would be SHIT as in "Awesome shit" and not "Shitty shit".

 

It's officially coming out on the 7th of September, and they've already released it to a few reviewers (or whatever they do to reviewers that makes them write reviews in magazines hardly anyone reads).

It got 91% from two sources. That's a good enough grade for me.

 

That is why I wrote "the" in front of it, indicating that is was "the shit".

 

It's a matter of context, not vocabulary. Just because you put the in front of it doesn't mean you're suddenly speaking figuratively of it.

 

But when something "is the shit", it's something good/extraordinary. It's not like writing "this is SHIT!". It's the "the" that does it.

Anyway, who gives a shit? Let's continue discussing Spore. I think it'll be great. I'm going to buy it as soon as it gets released over here.

 

spore? sounds like shit to me.

 

How come?

 

"Spore" i don't really like the name.

 

"Chip-_-", I don't really like the name.

 

It seems you have some sort of a problem with me.

 

Cause you're a spamming piece of shit

 

I like you why are you mean?

 

faggot

 

My whole life is crashing around my ears! Destroyed by your stroke of intellectual, insulting genius!
