Spore
Quote from PortalFan77 on September 10, 2008, 5:30 pmSPore is a great game, the only issue is EA, which is why I only play in offline mode cause they suck so much with their DRM bullcock.

Quote from Ricotez on September 13, 2008, 6:00 amThe other editors are just as much fun, also the vehicle- and building-editors are more freeform, as you are more free in adding objects. Vehicles work around a central axis( like the creatures), with all objects not placed on that axis mirrored on the other side, but you can freely add body blocks around that axis, instead of having to use a 'claymold spine' like the creatures. Buildings however don't have a 'central' axis, instead they use sticky placing along certain axises, though you don't have to use those. That allows for unsymmetrical structures, which leaves you with more freedom. But it is harder to create symmetrical structures. Creating buildings is much like playing with wooden blocks, and it's fun. Though I have been playing around with the spaceship editor mainly.
Really, the editors and the space phase are essentially the core of the game. I wish they had put as much depth to the other aspects of the game... well, they're probably gonna add that in 10 expansion sets...

Quote from Hober on September 14, 2008, 2:33 pmThe outcry over the Spore DRM has caused EA to back off of RA3's DRM.
Except they're doin' it wrong.
They removed the requirement to have the game disk in the drive and raised the number of installs from 3 to 5.
We've been dealing with CDs in disk drives for years; it's annoying but it's never caused a boycott of a game. The limited total installs is the part that people are wigging about, and EA is essentially doing nothing about that.
Good thing I wasn't planning on buying RA3, even despite being quite partial to RA2. Fuck 'em for making it an over-sexed permanent rental.

Not really sure it is 100% legal if you give them the copy you got from the store.

The more you give, the less appreciated it will be received.

I'm saying give the exact copy that you bought and giving it off. . .
Again not saying that it is legal or not I have no clue. And I never done it.
