The Spore Thread

[Skippy]

Isn't that just secondlife?

Yes, but a good version with The Sims' sense of humour.

I've played about an hour of the space part, and I'm starting to feel a bit bored.

I think I might be slightly over-whelmed by the sheer scale of it.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but there is a known issue with some ATi cards and Spore, which results in a blue screen and a system reboot whenever the player tries to start the creature stage (right after the cell stage).

For anyone experiencing this problem, downloading the Omega drivers (from: http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati_winxp.php ) should eliminate this issue.
I had the problem (it cut to the blue screen during the creature stage opening cinematic), but I'm now playing the creature stage with zero hassle.

Hope this helps anyone who had the same frustration I had!

Thankfully i've had no issues with spore at all with my ATI card.

Sorry, I've edited the post to say 'some Ati cards' as it doesn't directly affect them all. Apologies for any confusion caused.

I had a crash tonight in the Space stage. First one (i do have a new GPU now). I went back and played for ages with no more troubles.

Out of interest. does anyone want to swap buddy codes and share creations?

We should get a list going..

Yep, that's pretty nutty.

"[EA's] billions in revenue and all the advertising in the world are no match for the power of God."

So there is a fight I'd support EA in.

Whodathunkit?

Edit: That Christian complaint is shocking.

I would say this game contains equal amounts of creation and evolution, but certainly 'teaches' neither.

:fp: at the fundamentalist nutters. Having seen Louis Therouxs show where he spent time with some of these nutters I am not surprised.

Religion: the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.

I think part of the problem that is going on here is that the bulk of you are ignorant as to the word of God. I don’t have these beliefs just because I want to, I have them because they are the beliefs that I was raised in. I understand that everyone didn’t have the chance to be taught these things, and learn about God as my family did so if I am going to have this kind of attention I should use it to help teach others about the words of God that helped to shape me into the woman I am today.

Everyone I am sure knows the passage that in the beginning God created heaven and earth. But there is more then just this one that people remember.

In Genesis 1:2 there is more talk about God’s work. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”

So it’s clear that Earth was made by God’s hand, not science. From this God moved to creating all the creatures, notice there is never talk of creatures ‘evolving’ into other creatures, instead God is able to make the creatures as he will including man.

In Genesis 1:25-27 “25. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”

People of science claim that the Earth is the way it is because of millions of years of time and science effecting it. But we are taught and believe that our world is this way and has the aged look because of the flood of Noah. It was the waters covering the Earth on such a grand scale that caused the aging that people of science claim as proof.

But in the Bible we are told in Genesis 6:7 “So the LORD said, “I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth–men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air–for I am grieved that I have made them.””

But the Bible teaches us that God was not done with man. For we were His creation and He then spoke to Noah in Genesis 8:21-27 after the flood.
“21. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never gonna give you up.
22. “Never gonna let you down.”
23.”Never gonna run around and desert you.”
24. “Never gonna make you cry.”
25. “Never gonna say goodbye.”
26. “Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.”
27.”Never truly believe anything you read on the Internet. There will always be cases of Poe’s Law.”

It’s these teachings that I’ve spent my life learning, believing and becoming, that have made me the woman that I am today.

A list in the first post or the PC thread would be cool. I suggested it a few pages back. Anyway, my username is - Gavin85
