Spore

[gheez]

I really enjoy playing Spore.  My laptop is not so keen, especially after I installed Galactic Adventures. Had to give up playing because of crashes. Then, a couple of months ago, I accidentally hit the original Spore icon on my Quick Launch bar (yep, not so good on the housekeeping on the laptop, lol) and the game loaded and played without crashes

Those are fantastic and very alien-like! I actually did pick it up, myself, out of curiosity on the conversations you and Pixel've been having. (Also, I got a coupon for 50% off on an EA game, so I figured what the Hey!.) I wound up getting it for 10 bucks.

The trick will be on whether or not I give myself time to actually play it. I'm pretty immersed into CoH and Sims 3, so we'll see! But I did get a nice price for it. :D

It's a different kind of play than CoH and the Sims (not that I've played CoH). Makes a nice change of pace and a surprisingly good stress buster.

When you do try it out, I'd love to see what you come up with.

Well City of Heroes is pretty much your standard RPG style game. Go in, fight bad guys, save citizens, make pretty costumes! :D I appreciate that!

I think the reason Sims persists and probably Spore in the same manner is you're not entirely PUNISHED in the games. It's heavily skewed to being rewarded for doing things versus punishment for failing. I like games like this! :D

I just need to sort out whether I want to play Spore or Sims and right now I have a goal... that's get darkside Taliesen (I have too many versions of him, it's confusing, I know...I'll summarize this mess sooner or later.) and Nathan back together!

Hope that you're farther along the track of re-uniting darkside Taliesen and Nathan now and that it even turned out to be fun/is fun getting them back (rather than frustrating, as I think it may have been.)

Yes! Yes I am! :) I just need to fix the Ex-boyfriend status. It doesn't seem to want to nix that no matter how close they are. It hasn't been too frustrating as I sent them on vacation to work on it! :D

[gheez]

I enjoyed the vacation pictures on Tumblr and it sounds like they're pretty much back together again now. Good :)

[furryjackal]

Yep, and I have even more progression with them, too.
