When S-Words Fight
I speak, of course, of the words "Sleep" and "Spore."
As in I just got the new game Spore this weekend, and although there's some really annoying bugs or something that made launching the game a trial until I figured out how to manually bypass the error (the game would start but lock up before any graphics loaded and before the game showed up in the task manager, forcing you to go into not the applications tab but the processes tab in the Task Manager to track down the errant file to manually remove it from running before you can load it properly), the game itself is one of those SUPER FUN TIME MACHINE games.
As in, you start playing, and all of a sudden six hours have passed.
As in, it's too fun to stop playing to even save the game.
After playing for those six hours last night, the game crashed on me and I lost my progress for those six hours. Which is annoying, but also good because it lets me replay the bulk of that portion of the game armed with more knowledge and skill on how to succeed AND it let me go to sleep. Because it was 5:55 AM.
