Okay, who's playing Spore?

My name on there should be pretty obvious.

I'm not, but I just found out that Walter Jon Williams wrote all the dialogue for the space stuff. I thought that was kinda neat.

I'm not, but it's quite clear that if I had that one, I'd be fascinated with all the early "evolution" phases. I have loved the Maxis games I've played.

I love the cell level I have to say.

rumor has it that Spore has EAIDS?

i played the creature squiggler, but didn't really get a compelling sense of the overall game. how is it? are there visible seams between the stages?

There are very visible seams. Each leap forward (thing-in-water->creature->tribe->civilization->space) has a set goal which leads to the next stage. So, to go from creature to tribe, you have to befriend or extinct something like 4 or 7 other creatures, while gathering body parts and so on. And once you move on to a tribe, you lose access to the creature creator part of it, although when you get to civilizations you can design buildings and vehicles and so on.

I looked for skeevyguy123 but didn't find anything :)

I added you as a buddy. For trivia, jiqiren is chinese for "robot", the human type (machine person).
