Spore revisited

I'm starting this thread because I used to be thrilled about what Spore promised to deliver. Now it seems that every new piece of info brings a new dissapointment to me.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but so far everything except the creator (for creatures and vehicles) is very mediocre.

You start as a cell, that's fine. You have to eat your way out of the primordial soup, that's fine. This seems like a mini-pre-game which doesn't bother me at all.

Than you go to tribe and city and you suddenly play a RTS game except that (from what I have seen) it is a very simple RTS. Definitely nothing that could compare this part to other RTS games. So it's a mediocre part of the game.

The end is when you create UFO and begin your galactic conquest. What the hell? You build a SINGLE UFO and conquer the galaxy? So this part looks like a bad real-time space strategy game.

What is the point of this game really? What part are you guys excited about? Can a mix of mediocre parts make a great game? Am I just seeing it all wrong and there are some great things in these parts that I simply don't see?

AvP1 gold edition (PC game)

As the title has, does anyone have AvP1 gold edition? And would he/she consider lending (I pay for all postal expenses) or selling it?

Recently I played AvP2 and can't help to notice that AvP1 was much more scary. I would like to play it over again but in the gold version (extra missions etc.). So if anyone has it and would be prepared to either lend or sell it, please contact me.

Animated GIFs

Do you have a collection of funny, scary, weird or whatever animated GIFs you would want to share? Go ahead! No smileys though and watch the usual rules...

A start;








And a SC "homegrown" one (whose avatar was it?)

IGN review

IGN review is quite harsh... I haven't played the game but judging from your descriptions this is just not a fair score.

Than again, most of SC players might use a lot of mods to make it more X-COMish. Mods have no effect on the review naturally.

Being a daddy

Without further due, since 8th of June I'm a father. Her name is Tjaša and yes, all of you are too old for her.

She told me to send you all a burp and a squeezo on your fingers and show you some pics.

Shortly after birth;


Tjaša ready to go home. The peasant look is really in in Slovenia right now (read: the hat I brought into the hospital was far too big). I'll post more pics when I find the camera's USB cable.
