Spore comes out in September and I can’t wait. This is a game that is pretty much creating a whole new genre of gaming. I’m sure I’ll be playing Spore nonstop for a week when it is released. They just released some pictures and more information about the creature stage in spore. Check it out on Wired.

I reinstalled Joint Operations: Typhoon rising last night and I forgot how fun that game was. Playing with a group of people you know is the best but even playing alone is awesome.

I hadn’t played in about 5 months and it did take a round to get back into it, but after that I was having great fun. There is so much you can do in that game: fighting legitimately or even screwing around with people. Of course my favorite thing to do is grab some satchel charges, put them on a dinghy, grab my detonator, and charge another ship. BOOM! Your jihad is successful and the other ship has been blown up!

Of course you can always throw down and kill other people. I always play as a medic. I do a decent amount of killing but I heal everybody man. Medivac is where it’s at! And of course, Orange Bowl is the coolest server. 2 hour time limit and a huge map with tons of players! Joint Ops is such a great game.

This is a little video we put together of us blowing up a foolish sniper in Joint Ops:

I just finished adding the new script and design for At Work Arcade. I don’t have all of the games re-uploaded yet, just the most played ones. I will be adding the rest of the games shortly, as well as a game pack with tons more games. Make sure to check it out and play some games. There is a new feature where if you play more than 15 games in a certain amount of time, you need to register on the site. Registration is easy, and it tracks your stats a lot better. I may up this limit or remove it completely.

In my opinion, Star Wars Galaxies was the greatest MMO that was ever made. You had an awesome economy, awesome skill system, choose your path, customize your character and change it in any way you wanted at any time. And all this set in the Star Wars universe. That is, until they screwed it all up with the Combat Upgrade (CU) and New Game Enhancement (NGE).

I think about a year ago I remember trying an emulation that people were putting together that would be Star Wars Galaxies back when it was awesome. There wasn’t much you could do so I left. It was exciting that they were making it, but nothing really worked. I just checked their site again today and it looks like they are pretty far along. I’m redownloading everything again so I can start helping them test and get it done ASAP. I can’t wait til they finish it, there is just so much I want to do again in SWG.

If I ever won the lottery, I think I would give a large amount of money to the people making SWGEmu so they could quit their jobs and finish the project. that is how bad I wish to play it again.
