Surely the Sun is the closest star to Earth, right?

Endangered Species Condoms 61

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday April 01, 2010 @12:11PM from the make-it-growl dept.

The Center for Biological Diversity wants to help put a polar bear in your pants with their endangered species condom campaign. They hope that giving away 100,000 free Endangered Species Condoms across the country will highlight how unsustainable human population growth is driving species to extinction, and instill the sexual prowess of the coquí guajón rock frog, nature's most passionate lover, in the condom users. From the article: "To help people understand the impact of overpopulation on other species, and to give them a chance to take action in their own lives, the Center is distributing free packets of Endangered Species Condoms depicting six separate species: the polar bear, snail darter, spotted owl, American burying beetle, jaguar, and coquí guajón rock frog."

Oh and a world editor that isn't half implemented, with no documentation, and that is also buggy as Hell wouldn't be bad either.

This will be good if... ...the AI isn't retarded and/or a cheater, as it is in most Civ games. ...the expansion packs aren't just new civs and features that should have shipped with 1.0 (who am I kidding, that's all an x pac ever is) ...the modding is elegant enough to allow easy modding and also deep changes. ...I can take on more than 18 other CIvs without crashing my game on a quad core with 3 gigs of RAM.

Sorry, still just a bit bitter at how broken Civ IV is after two or three years and two expansions. Not that it doesn't suck up hours of my life regardless, just there's a lot of room for improvement.
