Lebermac's strange thread
<placeholder>
Some of you may have been asking "Where's LeberMac? I haven't seen that loser ingame for like a month!" Well, yes. I define "Some" very loosely, so maybe I should have said "the three of you who may have read this". Now, while I fully intend to finish this up, I've been busy...
... playing Spore.
:|
Not to worry tho! I'll be back for more shooty-shooty duels off-and-on like usual.Sometime after I get my little civilization out of the space stage.
Now don't post anything here because when I get back I'll post my next entry over this one and all of your comments will appear completely nonsensical.
Unless you copy and paste this into your OWN post. Hrm, didn't think of that. So don't do that. That'll be really odd.

A hundred credits says that at least two or three of Leber's Spore creatures are tequila themed.
no bet. I don't bet to loose
PENIS CREATURES!
Holy shit Miharu is psychic.
My planet is named 'Quelia (Cause naming it tequila was actually TOO obvious, I guess.)
my creature is the "Nogales Airhound" Cause I had a good time in Nogales once, and cause my creature is a dog-lookin thing with wings, cause wings make shit look cool.
But I'm getting my ass kicked in the flying-saucer stage because I keep making the wrong impression on aliens.
Anyways, I should learn to just not make posts that are placeholders when I'm buzzed. <sigh>

If you learned that then we'd likely never hear from you.
ooh, the sting of Whistler strikes true and bites hard!
It's just that I'd...miss you.
There. I've said it. Move along now, nothing to see here.

....What the hell? When did Leebs become Whytee? How did this chaumaturgy take place? Be ye angels, or be ye men?!
I did not change into that Tequila drinking fighter pilot, Lebermac.
And I do not think that Whistler would miss me, the only ones that would are my roids.
But now that Whistler has officially stated a longing for the company of the official VO drunk, it is time to move along.

Whistler is just jealous that Leebs buys drinks for the Devs but not him.
Well, that's... awkward, but the sentiment is appreciated in a completely hetero way, FM.
Technically, I've never bought a drink for John or Waylon. Not for lack of trying. If Whistler would be in Milwaukee anytime soon, I'd buy him a drink.

"Anytime soon"? You're not planning some drastic experiment in sobriety, are you?
If I'm ever in Milwaukee there'll be drinks all around...but you'll probably never have to pay up as all my travel plans hug the West Coast of the US and Mexico these days. I haven't been as far East as Reno in several years.

But you have bought drinks for other devs? I demand a full investigation. oh the bribery scandal!
No, no alcohol for Ray or Andy. Just soft drinks & coffee. Michael is the only one I go do tequila shots with.
Speaking of which, it's high time we went out for drinks again.

A month since the Spore update?! I demand to know how the "Nogales Airhound" is doing!
And yes... the "Nogales Airhound" is covered by the ASPCA. Don't make me blow you in to the Milwaukee branch.

SPORE Spoiler Alert: Read no further if you have not completed a Spore Game all the way thru space stage.

The Nogales Airhound was my first foray into the CHEAT mode of Spore. Cheating did not make the ganme any more fun. Once you discovered that the Grox occupy like 1000+ star systems, you realize that the game will simply become an exercise in destroying planets slowly but surely. And the farther you get from your home system, the harder and harder it becomes to keep your planets from having ecological disasters, and the harder and harder it becomes to gather up your spice, etc. etc.
The game became a chore, so I said "What the Hell", entered in the cheat codes, easily made my way to the center of the galaxy, and talked to Steve, got the staff of life, killed off some more Grox, and realized that the game was still boring. Nothing much to do. Every 30 minutes a Grox Armada shows up and destroys everything on one of my planets because I'm too far away to help defend it. Then I rebuild everything, and 30 minutes later they destroy another planet. Rinse. repeat. I don't have the patience for the endless grind of destroying the Grox. If someone does play Spore and manages to kill them off, let me know what happens.
Spore needs a few things to be fun:
1. Space Stage: Automate spice collection. Build spice barges or SOMETHING, so that your one single ship does not need to constantly visit all of your 500 planets to gather & sell spice.
2. Space Stage: Build more ships. What space civilization is content with only ONE spaceship? I mean, come ON. You can control 500 planets but no, you can only have one spaceship at a time. Stupid and Lame.
3. Civilization Stage: Should be more like Civ III. Start out in prehistory and then proceed through technology trees and sway competitor nations through economic, religious, military or diplomatic means. Entire stage is too short, takes like 5 minutes to complete this entire stage.
4. Tribal Stage: Should be more like Civ III. Again this stage is too short as well.
The creature stage is pretty good. As is the "tidepool" stage.
There MUST be addins for this game coming.
Oh yeah and DRM sucks.
More in my other thread soon.

DRMs in general usually suck
