And here is the Spore picture I promised (click to enlarge):

[Noflunk]

Oooo Bio-Mech

And here is the Spore picture I promised (click to enlarge):

anything else about spore besides the pic.

the pic is pretty cool, but nothing really groundbreaking IMO. it does give an idea of what limb/foot types will be available.

[Areku]

i love the idea of mechanical enhancements for creatures! imagine adding mechanical wings, or maybe legs if you have a slithering creature... 

[smjjames]

well thats only in the technical era, and we don't know if we can only replace parts already found on our creature or if we can add some.

Still, I want to know if theres anything good in the podcast. I'm hard of hearing so I wouldn't get anything very well from it.

[Jack]

another great radio show. podcast.

[Cobra]

You had to wait until after it was too late for me to listen to the podcast to post it didn't you now i have to wait until tommorow to at least i can stare at the image for spore tide over until tommorow. Hey check it out you can add gaming steves head as a limb.

[Cool AN]

Downloading right now.

And here is the Spore picture I promised (click to enlarge):

That looks more dark then I thought spore would be, then again it is just concept art.

[Zneeezzz]

OMG OMG OMG!!!! 

i like that, but...
it would be more cooler if u could design robot legs by yourself

but nevermind

thank you Steve 

[Krakow Sam]

some of the top parts look like bits of the Quadraxis robot from metroid Prime 2.
It all suggests that as much thought has gone into robots as creatures. thumbs up

[Cool AN]

Great podcast as always.

[DevilMachine]

kick ass, a 2hour+ show, Im loving it!

[Kagan]

Ah, listening to your podcasts while doing other things is great. Your podcasts are like the dip to my chips, the beer nuts to my beer!

Wow, I TOTALLY recognize the Name That Game sound, but I just can't remember what game it is. It must have been forever since I played it. Great tune though.
