Spore came out today, which is pretty cool. Also cool, GameStop actually honored my pre-order from nearly two years ago. I haven’t picked it up yet, because I’m still in Storrs, but I will get it sometime this week.
I’m not in a big rush to get it because I don’t have a functional computer that can play it. At the end of last semester, my desktop shit the bed, and I didn’t really bother trying to fix it. I used Cassidy all summer, which was great. This fall, when I tried to get the desktop running again, it got worse, and started re-ordering drives. I’ve been using Cassidy as my fulltime computer here at school so far. I even got a new battery, so I don’t have to stay near an outlet (the battery Apple shipped to me to replace the one that was supposed to explode died a few months after I got it).
But Spore won’t run on a PPC Mac, so Cassidy can’t help me there. And the desktop had formerly run Linux, which seems to only slightly support Spore (at the moment). So I might actually install Windows, just to run Spore. Weird.
Wait, Linux slightly supports Spore? Do tell!
