Is no one playing or the least bit excited about Spore, Will Wright's new God Game? They released the Creature Creator demo last week and it's incredibly fun. So much so I bought the full version of the Creator ($10, minus a $5 coupon for the full game when it releases in September)
I made a world famous internet meme with mine!
it uploads straight to YouTube
and gives you a <30kb 128x128px png file that loads the full creature into another persons copy of the game, though I don't know what'll happen if you try to load that into the free version.
Seriously, you can mess with this thing--even the free one--for hours.
First person to cite the reference to my current creature gets about 100 geek points.
The modes, at least in easy where I stared, seem awfully short. But I still find myself addicted to it. yesterday I was considering buying the cell phone version during intermission of Disney on Ice but couldn't connect with my phone until the show restarted.

I would assume it's referencing Brian from Family Guy
"Peanut Butter Jelly Time"

It would amuse me if next year Byrne did a women's fed or Texas fed. I'd just like to see how he tries to make it a dark, demonic, ECW homage led by James Mitchell or Raven. -- Lucky, 2009
see. i told you byrne was the way to go here. like i said, he's a big dork. -- Ziggy, 2009
Isn't Frostillicus a reference to something on the Simpsons? It sounds familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.
Yeah, it was Jasper's name when Apu charged admission to see the "Freezer Geezer" (Japer wanted to see the futre so he froze himself at the Kwick-E Mart)

I'm sorry, guys, but I fucking HATE when people refer to the Simpsons or Family Guy as the origin of stuff when they were clearly parodying things. I can't tell you how many times rabid Simpsons fans see a dude running to stop a wedding and yelling through a glass window and say "Hey, that's a parody of that Simpsons' episode." or how many times people watch horror films with me and see something and say "Hey, that's stolen from Treehouse of Horror 83!" No, retard! They were fucking parodying a classic bit of cinema that you were too uncultured to get!
The Family Guy thing with Brian dancing in the banana suit is a reference to an internet meme. First a very popular emoticon that was all around the web and then a video of that emoticon dancing to a song called "Peanut Butter and Jelly Time."
Admittedly not as "classic" as the Simpsons stuff that usually pisses me off but still pretty annoying.
Or don't do either. If you can't find an image you like at either than don't force it. Just give me something you like and which will look good on the board.

Hmmm. Didn't know that about the Peanut Butter Jelly thing.
Thanks Lucky...

Yeah, sorry. It just pissed me so off over the college years to see people watch parodies of classic films, TV, or literature and instead of getting the reference thinking that it was a reference to Simpsons. If you didn't fucking get that Simpsons was parodying something classic why in the fuck did you think it was funny?! I swear that half of the Simpsons fans don't even realize that so much of the show is referential humor and its amazed me when I've encountered people who watch Family Guy and don't realize that 99.9% of that show is nothing but stream of consciousness parody.

Alright, I was under the impression it displayed "current" differently than older ones. Some, but not full, points for PB&J Nana & Frostilicus. I meant this'n specifically.
