"may i never be complete, may i never be contented, please tyler save me from being perfect and complete." this is what Joe thought as the phone rang and once Tyler picked up the story really began

the book is darker than the movie in one way: Tyler's actions in the movie are mostly done by Joe in the book
but even Palahniuk credits Fincher with cleaning up and polishing the story that Chuck wrote
Palahniuk calls fight club apostolic fiction, the book is not the story of joe so much as it is the story of tyler as seen through joe's eyes
the movie is the world as seen by joe with tyler butting in

on so many levels both the book and the movie have given me imense entertainment and forced me to examine myself

as for the movie my favorite scene is the chemical burn scene, the score by th Dust Brothers really brought it an edge that the visuals alone would not have, in the book its even more about giving in to tyler and tyler bring up memories of a more rebellious time in Joe's life after he left college

the "Rahmund K. Hessel" 7/11 scene is the best if youve read the book as well b/c jack sees it in the movie , and Joe does it in the book, the question left to the audience is if scarring the **** out of someone to motivate them to live and dream again is right

**if your confused by the Jack/ Joe  thing, the narrorator is "Jack" in the movie "Joe" in the book *

unless they are Ethical Cannibals: Martians

or they got caught in a barren land and had to survive
or it's some religious right

I still don't think you can edit it because it is a tool in the UFO menu and therefore it is probably pre-made.

thought the whole idea of SPORE was all content is player made: you see it you can edit it
wouldnt do to have just monoliths be "locked in place"

great find,

really lauged when they had the interviewer as a little sim compared to the giant WILL
love the little part at the end where will was asked about his Soviet/ Russian Space collection.

on how a multiplayer world could be made fun:

love the agressive gradient idea but how to completly gaurantee that everyone gets what they want?
"levels of openness"

top most level: the persistant galaxy
 /|\                        _
  | only player        |\
  |                           \ player controled
personal________\  _\|
galaxys                /     micro universes

micro universes: single solar systems up to entire galaxies
creator controls entry and layout and also hosts it
anyone can create a copy of a certain micro universe

the persistant galaxy: everyone can connect and interact with it

center: everyone begins at the center were everyone has complete protection
           stars here are of little value life cannot survive here
mid rim: life exists here and players can create pocket universes to contain copies of anything they want
            nebula create new stars and planets, untended stars disappear

outter rim: free-for-all zone, no protection

so the 1UP video of him making an ocean: all that water came from Comets? he made it magicly appear

hope in the final game the genisis device comes with a cool Star Trek looking thing

and while in the normal scheme of things matter is constant, matter=energy, energy is constantly decreasing because macro space is expanding, but localized creation of energy could be possible (see (Vacuum energy)(Zero-point energy)(Casimir effect))

Spore isn't the "Realistic Simulation of the universe"
Spore is the "Fun Simulaion of the Universe"

heck you want an explanaination for where the Mass (mass=energy) Energy came from?
the energy for all teraforming comes from the planet's Sun, energy is extracted trough micro-wormholes and transformed into matter which is deposited by even more micro-wormholes throught the structure you are modifying

I'm all for a multiplayer galaxy take a spacewarp to a free form galaxy everyone can play in: sandbox galaxy

resources are plentiful at the center scarce at the edge
security varies from total at the center to none at the edges
valuable technology in the outer reaches
scan entire planets/ star systems into sporepedia to
make saves, apply saves

pocket universes player built areas were players build entire solar systems and globular clusters and controlled by creator/ users
possible uses: pvp, exhibition, other craziness

a creator could make the pocket universe  nonenterable/ view only/ interaction independent (like normal spore)/ pvp as an arena (for control or as a common area)/ (anyone can scan in a pocket universe and make changes on there own copy)

could use in single player mode to save favorite places or provide for multiplayer use
get into a pocket universe through a personal spacewarp, give access to friends, or public access via sandbox galaxy

to bad they don't wand space stations cause jump-gates (point to point) and jump-drives would give single/ multiplayer more use
build a stargate in orbit of your home planet and link it to your favorite place/s to instantly get there
send friends coordinates for a cool nebula to friends
