Every morning and every afternoon I feel like I have to check what new apps have been uploaded so I don’t miss anything cool.

But one thing I notice everytime I scroll through the pages is the apps for “virtual lighters”.

How many of these things does a person need?

No one even holds lighters up at concerts anymore, so what is the purpose of this app that every company feels the need to reproduce?

Stop with the virtual lighters, virtual flames and while we’re at it, no more strobe lights.

Of course, everyone would have to have a different board but feel free to play at home by yourself.
And knowing Steve, you’re sure to be a winner.

Without hesitation, clicked the purchase and a few minutes later I was playing.

I was hoping the iPhone and Touch version would have come out at the same time but I wasn’t going to wait since I’ve been craving this game since it’s announcement.

So before even getting ready for work, I had already leveled up 8 times and was having a pretty good time playing this polished new addition.

When I checked iTunes again later I noticed that it had mysteriously disappeared.

Oh.

Did I just accidentally download it before it’s official release?

How many of you out there nabbed it?

Not sure if this is true but I haven’t heard any confirmation one way or the other from Apple or the creators of Spore.

But for now I’ll just be content to say “lucky me”.

Brilliant.
