"Spore" bunnies! I see from MeTa that some of y'all are playing Spore... anybody else? Post your username here so I can add you to my buddy list. Mine's BoringPostcards.[More:] Explainer: the game pulls content from an online server that has creatures/vehicles made by other players in their game. When you add someone to your buddy list, the game draws more heavily from those people's creations.
I'm WolfDaddy. I've got all the interations of my creature "WolfChub" available, but I suck at designing buildings and vehicles. I'm looking to crib from fellow Mefites and bunnies!

I'm also incredibly frustrated at the space stage. Especially the lack of auto- and multiple saves.

I've never heard of this. What's it like?

I've only just reached the city/nation phase, WolfDaddy. so I haven't seen space yet. My buildings so far are nothing to look at, but here's my nation's vehicle:

(Here's an amazing thing: you can grab that image and drag it into your game, and boom! It imports the whole working model for you to play with. That blows my mind.)

Specklet, it's pretty awesome... I've only had it for a day and I can already tell I'm going to be spending way too much time with it. Here's a good, detailed review of it.

Is this the sort of game that you have to pay $9.95 a month to access the online features? Like EverQuest?

Richat: nope!

Got the game yesterday and have advanced to the tribal stage, which I am coming to hate with an all-consuming fiery passion. My swift-moving, sneaky carnivore that travels in packs and placates enemies with stylin' dance moves is seemingly ill-suited to advancing up the evolutionary ladder. Plus the awful camera controls REALLY CHAP MY ASS.

Spore name same as screen name, the critter is the BOPtus.

Please, somebody make some placid herbivores that I can domesticate.

(Thus far, the creature creator is the most awesome part of the game, which is both good and bad, I guess.)

I know! All in one tiny png file. Grabbed your car by the way. Me likes!

Alrighty...I'm going to have to grab a demo to see if my PC is going to run it well. Then...I may have to get mixed up in this.

BOP, my first critter is kind of like a Kiwi bird with arms, and the mind of a Klingon. At the tribal stage they massacred every other tribe on the continent, toot sweet. Now all the cities are populated with breakaway factions of the same original tribe (i.e., they're all the same species), since there aren't any other sentient creatures left on the continent.

I found all this hilarious, till I realized the next creature I play is going to have to live on a planet with these little monsters. Heh. Oops.

I think I'm gonna start again with a herbivore that spits poison.
