This is, for once, not a post with anything to do with a) XMFC, b) fic, c) writing in general, or d) emo blubbery depressive whinings.

So someone in one of my chats linked to tje EA Origins store, where the downloadable-content games are on brief sale. I weakened and got Spore.
( What the game is and why I love(d) it )
#
( More of what the game is and why I didn't find it as appealing )
To sum up: I am more or less okay with having purchased it at the sale price; I would not have been happy at full price (never mind that I probably wouldn't have taken a chance on it at full price so wouldn't know anyway); and I may continue with the tactic of "start game, play til it gets boring, kill, start new game, etc" until the novelty wears off.
(I know there is a separate "creature creator" game, which may be more to my liking, since it sounds kind of like a sandbox sort of deal, but I really don't want to give any more of my money to the franchise, even at sale price. CRANKY ISA IS... well, you can probably figure it out.)
