I thought the shiny ball was cool until i saw it had eyes...and antennas...and the legs. After that it went from cool to digusting like that!*finger snap in distance*

Hey...While looking at prehistoric animals, I found this weird game where you're an evolving monkey trying to get your species to survive and adapt:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/beasts/evolution/e ... game.shtml

So far, I suck at it. My monkey always dies of starvation. I think the trick is to get your monkey to specialize in eating a particular thing (plants, insects, meat, etc.). I'm gonna try "monster-killer-death-monkey" and see how that works out.

Fun game, really hard though, its very similair to a game about being a allosaurus and surving made by the BBC also.

stupid bloody game. I eat plants and I do amazingly well and then BAM there's like NO PLANTS. at ALL. *mutters* and I had about four of my own species waiting to be found and I was going to get one of them and then they all just disappeared. waaaaaah.

See, it would cool if it weren't a giagantic bug on your hand. X.x Centipedes freak me out like woah. I saw one on my cousin's wall and we went nuts. We darted upstairs and forgot to turn the movie off. Forget the movie, there's a bug on the wall!

Same thing happens with me just with bugs, its also really hard to share the food between a large group, also found that old allosaur game I was talking about it like the evolution one just alot easier: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dinosaurs/bigalgame/index.html

W00t! got to the miocene...and died of starvation.

Yeah, this game is tough. One of my monkeys got to the Miocene, but I went through the canopy too much, and ended up falling from a tree and dying (arrrgh!)

I figured out that the way you kill those big ferocious beasts is you form a huge group and go at em RPG-style. The tough part is keeping your group together (occasionally they leave) and recruiting new monkeys. I'm going to try and pull together a group of four or five and tackle a crocodile. Wish me luck, lol.

Update: IT PWNED ME.

Hahha, i keep on dying straight away :@ I'm getting a bit betternow

Blargh, the pillbug. I'm not a creepy crawly fan myself. And you couldn't pay me enough to hold that thing in my hand for longer than a second.

Whooooaaaaaa!! That's a BIG pillbug! What's it called? Or is it just a regular pillbug, mutated?



I think the point of the Evo Game is to actually research the monkeys and time period to figure out what to eat. Our monkey is a "thick-tailed bushbaby." I looked it up, and it said: "The thick-tailed bushbaby is mostly vegetarian: they eat fruit, nuts, leaves and the gum of certain trees; but they also eat a fair proportion of insects and other invertebrates, and occasionally even reptiles and birds. In a study in South Africa, approximately 62% of their diet was gums, supplemented by fruits and insects." They seem like they've got a varied diet...maybe it's a bad idea to just restrict them to one thing.

Does anyone know how to get your monkey accustomed to eating acacia? There's pretty much no trees to practice on in the very beginning. I tried to just eat them non-stop (even though they were giving me 0.05 nutrition points), but I just starved to death...It'd be nice to get accustomed to them, since eventually savannas are gonna take over the whole of Africa.

I also wanna see if, in the Miocene or later, I can move across to Europe or Asia. Worth a shot.

Yep, it is. Chop 'em in half... no, not through their middle, eeeew! where they're connected... and you have a single spider. Nice, eh?

[Blk Mage]

I thought it was one whole spider at first and then flashbacks of 8 legged freaks came into my head*shudder* But its just two, but still quite freako.
