Earth in Spore

Not everyone finds it. It is a pain in the tail to search a whole galaxy to find one particular sun.

But if you know how, it isn't so hard and can be amusing. I am talking about the Space Stage of Spore.

I have had Spore since it came out. I have been playing it occasionally since. It amuses me. I also like making stuff.

I flew my spaceship thing to the moon and reversed the camera view (by spinning the ship around) and caught this Earth eclipse with the Sun.

I took a picture of it:

This is a big kiss my ass to everyone who play World of Wacraft. You people are the biggest bunch of losers in the immediate solar neighborhood.

Let us talk about WOW. It is a pay per play service. It can cost a fair amount of money just for access and upgrades. In comparison, you can pay once and play Spore forever. You don't have to pay any more if you don't wish to.

WOW is a blantant ripoff of fantasy like LOTR and anyone who has played Final Fantasy for years would see elements of it in WOW. My favorite game is Final Fantasy IX, which is far more enjoyable than wrestling with a server and playing against 14-year-old pervs .

I played WOW for an hour once and I made up a hottie female character just to see what attention she would get and none of it was good.

My girlfriend is hopelessly addicted to WOW. She spends more on it than I do buying books and music. She uses her computer for no other purpose and it is ALL she talks about.

I read on the web that Blizzard is shortchanging people. You never saw Squaresoft or Enix, or their hybrid successor doing that.

BUY A PLAYSTATION 2 OR 3 and play Final Fantasy. Play Star Ocean or Chrono Cross, or any other of the superb RPG's on those platforms. FF13 will be HUGE.

I hope WOW is shut down and EA buys it so they can improve it and make it more appealing to everyone and less addiciting.

Might be a pipe dream. The great herd likes it and they cannot be dissuaded from a shiny toy they like.

3 cheers for my computer, which is saddled with crappy dial up but still performs admirably. I write with it, I listen to music on it, I watch movies on it, I play Spore, Sins of a Solar Empire, or any of the others but none of them keep me from web surfing and doing my thing.

If WOW is shut down, my gf just might show more attention to me.
