Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

If that's what you have to tell yourself, I suppose.

How your pounds are superior, I'll never know. It doesn't make sense to me. Our system at least is easy to understand. A hundred cents in a dollar. A quarter is just 25 cents, hence the name.
You also have nickels and dimes. I guess a dime is 10cents, but I have no idea.

Nickel is a metal and a Dime is a kind of crunchy chocolate bar. Clearly they operate on some sort of barter system.

Also, nothing to do with games. I'm the best currency, end of story. Talk about video games.

What are your opinions on darkspore?

It might be a good game, but it shouldn't be a Spore game. The complete opposite direction they should have taken.

Darkspore is an insult to Spore, as is Spore itself. I want the game Wright promised be back in 2006 and I want it now.
We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar.

"The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming

Perhaps one of YOU will make a better Spore.

I played it a day, then found alternatives.

I play runescape sometimes, but unless I'm doing a quest or similar I just do it to have something to do while listening to Podcastle, Escape Pod, Paul and Storm or The Martians are Here podcasts. I can't just listen to audio, I get fidgety, and levelling up takes just enough attention to keep me occupied but not inhibit my enjoyment of the story/anecdotes and news from comedic musicians.
