Sgt. Kaleidoughscope's Lonely Hearts Club Blog

Okay, so I had the intention of referring to the title of this blog and explaining, but I've just realized how utterly brilliant that title is. I think I shall rename my blog to "Sgt. Kaleidoughscope's Lonely Hearts Club Blog".

The thing is, my club isn't so lonely anymore. Allow me to introduce my friend, and newly initiated blogger Dao, aka ddsweet_angel.

I must say, it feels nice to not be so alone in these blogs. My old collaborator, k473z 7h3 m4gnific3n7, seems to have forgotten completely about blogging, but I don't blame her, this is a lonely spot on the planet. Besides, I'm sure she's totally busy with IB and all.

Not too much to report on. I absolutely adore DeviantArt, the community is great and there are millions of amazing artists making so much stuff. It does make me jealous, I'll admit. I spend a lot of time there these days. I have to fill up my time slots now that I've "quit" World of Warcraft. People keep asking me how I'm taking it, how much more free time I have etc. But really, there's not much of a change... It was a fun game, I'll prolly start playing again in the summer or something.

I don't intend to turn this blog into a gamerz blog, since I DO have quite the female blogger audience (NOT that Females don't play video games and don't enjoy them or anything), and I don't want to alienate anyone, but I have to talk about an ill game that everyone should praise.

Spore.

It's coming out sometime in 2008, and it's such a great concept. You start out as a cell. You customize your cell to make it look cool or w/e. You eat little plants (or plant cells?). And you grow, and then you get teeth, or something, and you can eat other cells! New types of food are available as you grow, so you keep getting bigger. Life is in 2D.

BAM, before you know it, you're a creature! You run around like in an RPG, find a mate, make friends etc. And then... BAM, you're a tribe! Your creature has reproduced, and you now control a whole tribe! You have your own little village, you attack other tribes and stuff. You start conquering. 3D!

And yeah, you guessed it, BAM! You're an entire civilization! You conquer other civilizations, you eventually conquer the world!

Think it stops there? NEVER.

SPACE IS YOURS, MUAHAHAHA. Want a planet? Launch your minions at it, take it over, and colonize galaxies. Take over the universe?! Maybe, if you're patient!

There's a lot more to it, of course. If you're at all interested, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spore_%28video_game%29 of course.

It's too bad I'll probably be in Katimavik when it comes out, but hey, who knows what'll happen.

Oh, and I FINALLY submitted my application. Now, I await the (hopefully) good news. Because if I don't get in, I'm basically screwed.

Okay, that's enough for today.

Keep on Sporing,
