Yeah, it'd be kind of annoying if you were just taking your first steps onto the land and BAM.
Wouldn't even know what the hell happened.
Or maybe you would, if it was the biggest freaking planet dinging asteroid in the universe. That'd be frightening.
And funny if you were looking at your planet's neighbor planet in the night sky and a big "thing" just nails it. Though I'd then be scared all over again expecting the King of the Cosmos to show up and either smash my planet or send his son down to collect ugly people and junk.

...yeah, I'm bored.

Hell, maybe they'll surprise us again. The first sight (GDC) anyone ever had of Spore was a complete surprise, and it also looked pretty good already.
I know there's more to it than looks, but Will could have been only showing off a few features here and there. There was probably much more to it.

I guess we'll see in a few days... 

What a crock. I'm not a millionaire. And I'll be even more poor when I'm going through college soon. RETRO EDIT1: <-- LOL

Online as necessity? That's garbage. I don't want to be online all the time. Tron says exactly what I was thinking.
Personal entertainment? I don't understand how the HD era is all of a sudden personal, as opposed to mass.
Wireless? I don't like wireless. I don't want to worry about receivers and batteries and finding my controller. RETRO EDIT2: Cool. Who cares?
Multiplatform? Oh, yeah. Right. Like my friends are all going to get an XBox and an HDTV when we're earning $8.25 an hour. RETRO EDIT3: That's not what multiplatform means you dumbass.
What does "on the disc and on demand" even mean?
I assume by "commicates" you mean communicates. But even then, I don't get that last one either. RETRO EDIT4: Still don't know WTF this means.


It all sounds like an expensive nightmare in any case.
More and more, it looks like I'll be passing this one by... RETRO EDIT5: Dohohohoho.

Whooa, those are... unsightly.
I'm not too into the whole custom cases thing. I like my old gray and, uh, dark gray just fine.

And yeah, that's just milking it, not that they haven't been for years with all the toys and such.

Quite stupid.

Yeah, I enjoy Mercenaries. I'm still only on Diamonds I think, with one guy left to get. I'm going for a whole "take absolutely -everyone- prisoner" method. It'd damned hard sometimes.
I expect it should get much harder.
I love the explosions. They really got them right. You can almost feel the impact.
Though when you blow up buildings (for those that don't know, you can blow up just about every building), it just looks terrible. The building is merely replaced with a destroyed version, while the old version goes ass-up and sinks away into the ground. It's not right. But whatever.

Too bad they didn't give it multiplayer. That game could have had some insane multiplayer modes.
Eh.

Hello people at GamingSteve.
Looking at my name there, am I the winner? I was curious because if it was me, you pronounced it wrong. No big deal anyway, it just confused me.
If I'm not the winner, I got it right anyway. I still win the internet. 

Another reason I come here to ask is because I use Hotmail, and they're not being particularly useful these days. It's unstable, emails won't send or arrive, my inbox disappears for two days and then comes back (that could have been page loading problems though), and other weird things.

Anyway, nice podcast. The last couple of podcasts I've replied a big reply to (I type as I listen to it). I usually end up saying the same crap over and over though.
Whatever.

I also wanted to suggest that you review, at some time or another, a really bad game. I don't mean just finding a game you don't particularly like. I mean like... terrible. Some kind of Bad Game of the Week. Something old, something new. Whatever.
I think that'd be interesting. I usually find stuff like that funny. You could add some more humor to the podcast.
Though I usually find the sirens pretty funny, and how you apologize for them. You ought to go out there and make them apologize, huh? Disturbing the peace like that. Disrupting people that are busy at work on their podcasts and such.
Tch tch.
