Calls for a celebration! After losing access way back in 2013 or 2012 or some shit... I finally got access to my lost account after so many years! I thought this day would never come! Playing spore on offline mode for ages has been a terribly lonely experience. Though I know that the community is deffinitely not what it once was, I'm happy to contribute to it once again.
Currently reinstalling Spore to get myself back up to standards
Thanks to the numerous issue advisors from EA Help that got this fixed. Seriously, I was so hesitant to approach them over the issue as all previous attempts to contact them were fruitless. But they got it done very quickly! 

My Spore account for anyone remotely interested. 

My original first account: www.spore.com/view/myspore/Red…

My second account: www.spore.com/view/myspore/Cry…


Quite happy about this. Spore used to be 70% of my diet.

I thought I might get into a habit of writing journals more often on Deviantart. Although I dont really have much to say, it keeps me a little more active here inbetween uploading pictures and other junk.
Thoughts?
An update while I'm here.
Had a crazy idea for a film to make with some chums, but knowing me it probably wont go anywhere.
In a nutshell, the idea involves a tongue-in-cheek plotline.

Two best mates, part of an elite branch of commandos ( I am unfamiliar with military specifics, so through some research I think I can fabricate something nicely rediculous. ) are dispatched to take down a maniacal scientist hellbent on overthrowing the world's united forces and governments so that he can claim the planet for his own. Nice and cliche. For many months they have been on his trail, and now it seems they have him cornered and exposed for attack... so they believe.
Whilst assaulting the scientists base, both characters get caught in a tight situation, ultimately underestimating the villains abilities and are nearly captured. The secondary protagonist gets decapitated whilst the main character flees, having lost his right arm in the struggle.
Overthrown by survivors guilt, the main character resigns from the military and secludes himself to his home. 5 months pass, when he is approached by the young attractive love interest (She works for an organisation that is being put together to stop the villain once and for all). She calls upon him for assistance, during his absence the villain has been causing all kinds of brutal shit, and no one has been able to stand against him. Only the main character can put the villain back in his place... in a hole... with sharp things. Since the loss of his friend and his arm, he hasn't felt like a whole man. But swearing vengeance on his fellow comrade, he agrees to help.
This is where the real story begins.
Through a delicate procedure of cybernetic augmentation, our hero is given a new arm. Taking the image of a bad ass cyborg hero. But still he requires training, so for a warm up he is sent out to intercept a squad of android soldiers that have taken over a genetic research facility. In success, they begin to wonder what the villain could possibly want with this particular facility.
Hearing of this news, the Villain devises a scheme to keep himself protected and to kill the main character. With the body of his friend, the villain creates an obscure mechanical replacement head for the body and reanimates him. Through a tedious process, the villain hopes to have retained as much of his friend's memory and emotions and much as possible to make him a truly worthy foe for the protagonist. Lying to his... face-thing, the villain informs his friend that he was left for dead by the protagonist and that being the merciful man that he is, saved what he could of him because he cherishes life ( a downright piece of bullshit ). Fueled by anger and revenge, the friend now swears to kill the protagonist for leaving him to die, ruining his life. ( Personally this character is my favorite, I've always thought the idea of someone having their head replaced with a mechanical part a awesome idea, so that's where the story really spawned from ).
I have some more ideas in my head, but they dont make sense yet, need to do some more brainstorming. Still, this is all a really rough concept, but It sounds like a crazy piece of fun if I can get some friends to be part of it.

Apart from this I've just been watching films and TV shows. Waiting to muster the courage to get another project started, or at least finished.
Cheers!

Hey everyone. Me again.
I havent made a Journal in a very very long time. And the last thing I spoke about was making a scrap-built model of the Martian Tripod. Im still working on that so dont worry, despite how very long it has been and I havent shown you anything about it.
As you may have noticed, I'm making some more Spore War of the Worlds themed stuff. No change there.
Anyway, thats all I wanted to say for now, this was mainly a test to see if this Journal Skin could work. And It looks like it is!

Well, I know nothing has been mentioned about my Martian Fighting machine model. And there's a reason for that. I havent got any of it done.
This is due to lack of power tools for cutting wood and constructing the thing. We have plenty of tools in the shed, but they are currently unreachable becuase of junk and mess in its way.

So, I'll start something new. I have plenty of kitchen cutlery waiting to be made into something. I was hoping to make a Flying Saucer model for animation, and I still can becuase I have the pieces needed.
And If I can get my hands on some reasonable substitutes for Ball Joint hinges I can create a nice little Martian Fighting machine to the books description. It wont have that many intricate details but I can add those in if I feel they are needed, as Wells never went into full description of their smaller details like their overall shape and structure. I guess that leaves it up to the imagination

I cant promise that what I say will get done, but I have plenty of time to do it
Ill post some concept images and plans of what I intend to make with my materials when I can

I hardly ever do Journal Entries. But this should be intersting.

I've pretty much worn out my Spore War of the Worlds creations. They get a bit boring after a while.
has already made some amazing remodeled Martian Machines from Jeff Waynes musical and game. I highly advise you check them out
But I cant compete with that, not that I want to. I'm going to attampt making some actual models of some of the machines. There already are Blueprints for the Martian Fighting machine and the Handling Machine, so I will try to use these to make some small models of them. I've started already with the Fighting Machine, and so far so good. I will post some pictures as I go along. As for the other Machines I'm not too sure of.

If I have anything more to say I'll post it later
