14:15, Magnulus> I feel ya, buddy. On the other hand, at least you've had a good night's sleep unlike me! Spore will kill me.
18:47, Hello! :) whispers: Spore? I think I'll just wait for the game to be released... then start failing another semester of classes.
18:49, Magnulus> How can I resist a program in which I can create fleshy little Wall*E creatures AND villains and heroes from Warcraft? It's too awesome.
18:51, Magnulus> I'm uploading a video of my Wall*E + babies dancing and running around.
19:10, Fth> And think of how that'll be once you can create vehicles! (Though you probably can't make Wall*E with all those moving parts...)
19:26, Magnulus> Well, you can make approximations. It's not like my current Wall*E is an exact replica.
19:26, Magnulus> At least it actually has mobility, unlike the other vehicle-creatures. They're just blobs with bits stuck on them.
00:01, Cryoburner> Speaking of Wall*E, the description of how they 'thought up' his design seems unlikely...
00:01, Cryoburner> "In creating the title character, the animators were inspired by a pair of binoculars and Luxo Jr., the lamp featured in the Pixar logo."
00:03, Cryoburner> Or maybe they just watched short circuit, and decided to make a short version of Johnny 5.
00:14, Cryoburner whispers: Oh, I guess the director says he may have been 'subconsciously' influenced by Short Circuit. :P
02:11, Chad> I love Short Circuit.
02:13, Chad> Now this is awesome: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/06/18/metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-p atriots-database-on-the-way/
05:33, Skinnymon whispers: Happy 30th Birthday, Garfield! :D

12:16, Cryoburner> I like the comments... "...it just looks like it wants to die."
12:31, Buuks> Makes you wonder how that thing would evolve in the full game.
12:31, Buuks> Did anyone already made a stardrifter yet?
14:09, Magnulus> I think in all probability, a Stardrifter would look intensely hideous. ^_^
14:23, Megagun> And it is impossible to actually create.
14:31, Magnulus> But just you wait 'till the game comes! I wonder how many of us will create felisians.
14:39, Raptorjedi> Hey Mags! Your Son of Cenarius was mentioned on a WoW fansite I visit. http://www.wowinsider.com/photos/spore-creatures-from-azeroth/869907/
14:48, Megagun> No soul haveth! :P
14:50, Magnulus> Really?! Awesome! Mention that I just finished my definitive Mannoroth and that I have two Tauren out there as well! ^_^ I'm such an attention whore! *clicks link*
14:52, Magnulus> The Pit lord that's there is just hilariously stupid. The Tauren is pretty bad as well.
14:52, Megagun> You should change the tagline of magnulus.com into "Because I'm an attention whore".. ;)
14:52, Magnulus> You're absolutely right! ^_^
14:53, Megagun> Wow, the Tauren took all of 2 seconds to create, probably. :P
14:55, Magnulus> Yeah. So simple it's not even funny.
14:55, Magnulus> Hmmm... No one's made a Ragnaros.
14:56, Megagun> Detailing is really how you make your creatures look good..
14:57, Raptorjedi> I actually linked to your Tauren in my comment. :P
14:57, Raptorjedi> Ragnaros would be really hard. He's made of fire and lava and all that.
15:14, Magnulus> Yeah, he won't look as good as the game (duh) but I reckon I can make it looks relatively good.
15:15, Megagun meant: look
15:15, Magnulus> Detailing is definitely where it's at for making things look good. And not just slapping shit on, but having a purpose for it all.
15:16, Megagun> Well, I just slap spikes on my creatures. But I slap em consciously (mostly where they would have some use as protection)..
15:21, Magnulus> I slap my creatures consciously as well. Wah-ahahah! Anyway, that makes it not just slapping, though. You should see some of the "designs" that appear in the 'Pedia.
15:47, Magnulus> Man, this is a challenge.
15:50, Megagun> Why aren't you on IRC?
