Basically it's a game where you take stupid parts and make stupid things that you can send to your friends, only it's not stupid.

I'm guessing it works in XP, I have to go dig out the disc to confirm though. I wish I still had the big old box, with all the science-y stuff inside, all I have now is the jewelcase, the manual and the disc.

Kitten Kaboodle,wtf are you even thinking of posting my name on any of your lousy "free game threads for retards" threads. You like kick me signs stuck on the back of your ass or sumthin? I do not,nor would I ever play something you strongly recommend,esp if it has the word Widget and Workshop in its title. You gonna go play some Fatty Bear and Putt Putt next? How about Big Bird can Add? Anything you can nab thats free huh? I can guarantee you this man,if you actually spent more time buying AND collecting real f*cking copies of good classics and less time posting threads about free game o ramas,esp about suck ass crap free stuff,pop rocks and blowing stuff up, you'd :
A.have less time to post,
B. have more fun and purpose in your life and
C. more respect amongst your fellow members here.
Also,as with Gutts and Turbostar,it is heavily noticed by me too that you just post random shit off the top of your head,like you don't have a seal to keep that shit in. Post less,and make the post you are doing really good ones,really interesting stuff. If you need inspiration,go for a f*ckin walk that doesnt involve blowing stuff up or candy or Wal-Mart. Seriously,go for a long walk,walk to the nearest legit used game store you can find.
Talk to the workers for a bit about the classics,subject yourself to the dust and just wander through it all for a bit. Buy some stuff,take it home,play for a bit,and come back,start a thread about it. Go from there. Hit the Nes,Genesis,Snes. Next hit Ebay,get a TG16,go from there. Bring some real conversation back to your threads,instead of just the nonsense.
