[QUOTE=msmith537] I think she’s still somewhat traumatized from some of the “scenarios” I used to run in The Sims 2 using a Sim versions of the two of us and our appartment. Most of them ended with Sim-me burning to death in the kitchen and Sim-GF going insane. [/QUOTE] Oh…well..I suppose that’s fine, then. Carry on. I may have to find her pink planet and nuke it, though. ---

Between Spore and Fallout 3\* I’m predicting the best September ever! I need to start saving money and vacation days. \*The Amazon release date for Fallout 3 is Sept. 28th and my fingers are permacrossed for that to be true. ---

[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] Yeah, weird how someone’s actually releasing a game for a Mac. Oh well. I guess you losers can have a game or two to play with. I kid, by the way. [/QUOTE] You mean, us users of superior and more flexible computers. I have Windows XP, Ubuntu _and_ Mac OS X on my machine. 😃 I was thinking about reinstalling The Sims 2 on my Windows partition. After I put AutoCAD on it… ---

You users of computers that have a superiority complex and feel the need to have 8 billion operating systems. I mess with you. Whatever floats your boat captain, just so long as we get to nuke the pathetic creatures from **msmith537** ’s girlfriend’s planet together. ---

I should have my new PC by then. I’m excited. Count me in on the Coalition of the Willing to Destroy the Horrible Pink Dinosaurs. ---

[QUOTE=Terminus Est] [Watch a demo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0_U9Tx17RA) given by Will Wright himself; actual demo begins at around 3:00 into the video. [/QUOTE] Thanks! Yes, that looks pretty cool. Maybe we can get it into the households of Creationists and corrupt their children with science. ---

[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] Well…if you can’t, you can always nuke them from orbit. [/QUOTE] It’s the only way to be sure. This game has more hype than anything I’ve ever heard of. Here’s hoping it lives up to it. ---

[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] Really? Hm. I have to see what the system requirements were for the second Sims. [/QUOTE] I regularly run the Sims 2 at all high graphics options on my crappy 4-year-old Gateway (with video card upgrade), so most of you with modern machines should be able to craft your entities all right. This thread is giving me a game jones just like I had before Diablo 2 came out. Here I thought I was finally ready to come out of the basement… ---

[QUOTE=Diomedes] Does Will Wright have a bionic arm in that video? [/QUOTE] That’s not actually Will Wright. That’s a Will Wright Sim that he had constructed years ago so he would have more time to work on Spore. 🆒 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/spore-release-date-set/437335.md?page=2)
