So, a lot of exciting shit going on this week, obviously.
My wife and I have both been having fun with the Spore Creature Creator (some of our creations here), and I just got an e-mail from EA letting me know I can now download the pay version (along with optional Extended Download Service for only $5.99 — thanks!). I’m sure the enhanced version will destroy my evenings 75% more than the trial version already is. If you’ve pre-ordered, check your e-mail because you might be able to download it right now and get creature creatin’.
On top of that, the Pyro Pack lands tomorrow which promises for a weekend of blasting and burning between playing Cruel God to all sorts of ugly and ill-conceived Spore creations.
All this activity is gonna hurt my productivity, which has already been pretty feeble lately. I’ve conducted an interview with the creator of cp_steel that I have to format and post. I need to finish up an interview that is being conducted with another gaming site (sorry, guys, I’m almost done), and of course, poor Nondrick has been completely negelected.
Plus, I apparently have a job and things are expected of me there. Can you believe that crap?
So, even with all the fun gaming stuff this weekend, I promise to carve out some time to get Nondrick through another exciting day of his thrilling life, and finish up those interviews on both ends. I promise!

Goddamn this “work” crap. Always sneaks up on for no reason at all.

I love 1 fort. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)

At least we know you’re human, though, which counts for something. Personally, I’ve wasted most of my free time today on GalCivII, an experience I hold you directly responsible for (via RPS, James and the PCGamer Podcast).
That’s not really a bad thing, though.

Work? wtf.
ROFL on the U R BANNED comment.

Chirs, don’t worry, I’d rather have you write about what you do during the first day of the Pyro update. Nondrick can wait.

Last time I didn’t play the medic when the update was ready, as I didn’t want to have a pure medic team or be counter-productive.
This time round though, the burninator in me will just have to be unleashed, even into the sea of pyromaniacs that will arise. Of course if we are all pyros we won’t get the opportunity to repel rockets and such. Them’s the breaks.
Also I love your Spore creature called Lukini. I don’t know why, it’s just funky.

What the hell? Have you tried explaining to those damn work people that you have far more important things to do?
10 /AquaBlue // Jun 18, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Excuses! Work harder!
11 Morte Himself // Jun 18, 2008 at 3:43 pm
anyway, does Jeff Goldblum’s photo really have something to do with your Spore achievements?
Can’t figure this out.

Don’t worry, some day the world will be owned by Bill Gates and you can sit at home and do whatever you want and your only work is to feed water into the eletrolysis machine to make hydrogen and make more power and… *ramble ramble*…with the final end of the world XD

I’ve never even read Nondrick. It sounded, erm, boring.

LIES
WHY MUST YOU LIE TO US CHRIS
STOP LYING ABOUT HAVING A LIFE AND GET BACK TO WORK, FUNNYMAN
16 Punjabi Fury // Jun 19, 2008 at 12:18 am
@Nyarlathotep: BLASPHEMY! KNEEL A PRAY FORGIVENESS!
Am I right in thinking The Irish Gamers were interviewing you? Not just, like, you interviewed someone with them, or something?
If so, congrats.
17 Punjabi Fury // Jun 19, 2008 at 12:19 am
EDIT: Kneel a?
Damn my fast typing.
18 ImperialCreed // Jun 19, 2008 at 6:20 am

Kneel a pray. I’m going to start using that phrase
22 nmanguy // Jun 19, 2008 at 11:34 am
Damn, 11:30 and no update, now I’m pissed off.
23 Christopher // Jun 19, 2008 at 11:39 am
The free weekend starts tomorrow at 11am Pacific. I don’t know that they gave a specific time for the Pyro Pack. I think they just said it would be out today.
24 nmanguy // Jun 19, 2008 at 11:49 am
Crap, that’s where I got the 11 from.
25 Joe // Jun 19, 2008 at 11:53 am
Just remember, Valve time means Thursday could include Saturday.
26 Matt // Jun 19, 2008 at 2:21 pm
I spy, with my little eye, an update!
27 Matt // Jun 19, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Ooh, doublepost!
Anybody know of a server that has actually updated? I don’t like getting classtable errors.
