Spore - The actual game

Okay, I looked up some vids on Youtube last night, and I totally think this is something I need to invest in. I could see playing this a lot, even with my semi-dislike of playing games on a computer. Question about the DRM: does it really "infect" your computer, like make other apps run slower or make your computer more likely to crash? I'm not worried about the three installs, since I'm sure I can get more if my machine does crash (and with how unpopular it is they'll probably lift that anyway), but I don't want a game dicking up my system. Also, what video card is optimal? Not what it will run on, but what it will run on and look good on and not slow down. Help!

(I will probably download the pirated version first just to see if I like the controls before dropping fifty.)

Yay for learning experiences.  I returned to the game I'd started, and watched my creature slowly starve to death.  It was sad.  Then I got this wonderful helpful message that said "You have starved to death.  In the future, remember to eat regularly." or some shit.  Gee, thanks!  But it was so absurd that I actually laugh-out-louded, thus lightening the mood and enabling me to continue.

Which I did, quite successfully it would seem.  I finished the Creature stage, but only like five minutes after I'd become cool enough to have three others in my Pack.  We were having a good time jumping unsuspecting herbivores and chowing them, so I elected not to advance to the Tribal Stage yet.  Plus, I heard that there are some things you really should do before you advance because it will affect everything from that point on, but I don't know what they are yet.

My home planet is Cruton, and we are the Crutonians.  Fear us!

Boro_Bandito:
basically what you can do by not electing to advance yet is find more parts and get more dna points, thus enabling you to make your creature look way cooler.

Orbert:
Yeah, that was interesting.  We cruised around eating things for a while, then it got kinda boring, so I went ahead and advanced to Tribal.

What I didn't realize is that all those wacky horns and plates and things I've tacked on for attack and defense were pretty much passe, and I couldn't remove them, either.  Since Tribal seems to emphasize Combat and other, different attributes, and I couldn't wear a helmet or much else without looking kinda stupid (big horn on my head, etc.), I exited without saving, then restarted.  I removed a bunch of stuff we wouldn't need in Tribal, and also swapped for better-looking mouth and hands, then advanced.  Much better.

Took me a while to figure out the new camera mechanics.  Yes, I know there's a tutorial forced upon you, but I figured I knew how the camera worked, so I skipped it.  Bad move, since they've changed everything.  Obviously the different stages of the game were developed by different teams at Maxis, and they didn't bother making things consistent.  I think that's poor design, but they didn't ask me.  They should've.
