Spore crashed. I give up… I actually made alliances and even gotten one of their buddies to come around to help me shoot the assholes killing my planet. I had trading routes too and even got offered to buy a solar system. AUTO SAVE DICKHEADS! IT SHOULD BE STANDARD SINCE 2001!

I got Spore on Friday during my dinner break at work so I was pretty anxious to bugger off home and give it a whirl. When I got home and had it installed, I was greeted by the warning message that said something along the lines of “You’ve got an invalid activation code” but allowed me to play offline. I checked the Spore forums and found that all these other people have been effected, many saying it was only the EU but we got it before America anyway (that’s a first). Turned out their servers got pummeled and we had to wait till they came back up before we could get creations made by others, which I wanted to wait for anyway so I continued making Flying Fenix. That didn’t bother me cause I had stuff to do, but later on during the game pissed me off more. Click more to read on.
Today my Father and I ordered our New York flight tickets and booked the hotel in Jersey City, taxi ride in is no problem. I’m getting really quite excited for it now, we’re gonna be in New York on the 31st till the 3rd while we check out the Machinima Festival.- Flying Fenix is almost done, Lars has already been doing some awesome music for it and I really like where it’s going.
- Rob, though busy at Bioware, has been working in his spare time on his machinima film using a game we’ve not used before. I’m sure he’ll write up a news post on the main site… I think
- Zach, again busy at Bioware, has been doing some stuffs but no one must know. Before you think it’s Jack’s story, it’s not.
- Dragon Age comes out with a toolset so I’m looking forward to getting my dirty little hands on that.
- Castle Crashers on Xbox Live Arcade is awesome, I wish I had more time to play it.
- Viva Pinata and Spore come out on Friday… there goes my life again.
- Google Chrome. It’s quite good isn’t it?
Yeah there’s been a few teasers shown in the blog for the past year and not made any appearance, but this one is for real. Unless everything on my HDD is corrupted and then I’d probably give up. Other than that I’m relatively close to finishing it up.
Considering it’ll be my first Unreal engine machinima, Lit Fuse’s first Unreal machinima and my first Lit Fuse Film, please be gentle when it arrives. For those expecting narrative, just stop those thoughts now, it has like 2 sentences through the whole thing but it will be supported heavily by Lars’ music which I’m sure we’ll all like. Hope you enjoy once it’s done.
