I tried using the omnivore mouth at least twice, and although it counted me as an omnivore, It still only gave me the mouths of the creature I had originally chosen. Then, I got the bright Idea to put two mouths on my cells.
This is where thought comes into the process. My first time in cell with two mouths, I started as a carnivore, and added the herbivore mouth. No big deal, right? Well, it's easier to eat other creatures, that's true, there are more of them, and I find it's easier to get through the cell stage as a carnivore, plus more fun. But due to the massive head start I had munching on the sorry existences of others, I wasn't able to counteract the carnivore nature I had started with. As soon as I hit creature stage, I watched my evolutionary path,and noticed that there is actually strategy necessary to influence it into real omnivore status. I became a carnivore, with a tolerance for grassy food.
The second time was the charm. I started as an Herbivore, and ate enough so that I could add a second mouth, making it so much easier to find a meal, and equally as simple to drop my creature's status down into the omnivore zone. I was overjoyed when my creature's rampant chewing noises were cut short by the ambient sound the game makes when you move into creature stage. And there was the screen I had wanted to see! An evolutionary path that drops straight down from herbivore into omnivore, and sticks right to the middle of the path. This, as I soon found out afterward, and anyone as retarded as me who couldn't figure it out, immediately unlocks the omnivore mouths in creature stage, but not unlike being a total carnivore or pussy, those are the only mouths you can unlock and use for the rest of the game. I of course went the path of the Saginaughty mouth or whatever you call it, four mandibles and big ass claws (reminds me of an elite, kind of. don't pretend like you don't know what that is).
I know the biggest criticism of that strategy is that you have two mouths, and that leaves little space for more evolutionary parts. That's true, but it doesn't matter, because more or more expensive is not always better (why do you think cells and spiders and snakes can kill humans?). The way I defended myself was quite simple, I actually brought down a couple of the creatures that make the danger noise happen. Just put spikes on your ass, and run from danger. Danger knows nothing, for real, and will continue chasing you with your ass-spikes halfway down his throat until he dies. Trust me, it happened at least twice in both games I used that tactic. You don't need to swim fast if you have good defense, anyone who's trained an Aggron knows that. I'm not saying I'm a genius or anything. But I was pretty pissed to find out that even if you do kill one of the big ass creatures, you can't eat it. But let's not get into that.
I also just now realized I'm supposed to be using this blog for school. Then again, I'm supposed to be using this laptop for school. . . and this room. . . huh. Well, fuck it. The teacher can read it if he wants. Maybe he'll want to see the creatures I created. I would about die if I could work for maxis one day. . . I can design creatures like nobody's business. Believe it!
Anyway. . . I have more computer games to be playing, and one more photograph to take that I can pass off as something I actually give half a shit about. Pardon my french, but I am quite fluent.
