L and I hit the Mall yesterday to do a little shopping. While she was busy getting some cute shirts, I trekked over to GameStop to hit up their video games. Normally I avoid GameStop (and all their other differently named franchises) like the plague, since I hate constantly being asked to purchase their customer loyalty card and to pre-order games I have no interest in, but this time I was a man on a mission. I'd noticed on Cheap Ass Gamer that they were offering a $10 trade-in bonus for trading in two games, which meant I could get rid of two subpar games and pick up a case for my PSP and maybe even a little extra.
After turning down their customer loyalty card half-a-dozen times and refusing to pre-order any games, I jettisoned Ass Defect (aka Mass Effect) and Wii Play to pick up a simple GameStop-branded PSP case and the full version of the Spore Creature Creator. You see, L and I had played around with the Spore Creature Creator demo a little last week and we'd had a great time making freaky creatures with the limited number of parts, so we were itching to try the whole enchilada.
L tooled around with the full version we purchased last night, cranking out a dragon-gryphon-creature and a fugly goblin. I gave it a spin this morning and tried my hand at spinning out one of my favorite iconic D&D creatures, a displacer beast. The tools are amazingly versatile and I can't wait to see what else our careless hands will wrought.
