Guest guest Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 In the video game industry, there is a huge buzz right now about a game called " Spore " that is coming out 'any day now'. It is supposed to be really incredible, as computer games go. Maxis, the people who made The Sims, etc. are going to be publishing it.. If you do a google search on maxis spore you can check out some gameplay videos.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I thought " Spore " would make a great title for a new Robin Cook medical thriller...

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Cathe, You must have read my mind. I just saw a copy of Toxin by Robin Cook and thought he would be great to write a book about this illness. " Spore would be the perfect title!! It should would scare a whole lot of people but that's what needs to be done. Sue I thought " Spore " would make a great title for a new Robin Cook medical thriller...

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I wondered after I posted if I came off as dingy suggesting such a title. I've recently started reading all the Robin Cook titles after having read " Coma " oh, twenty-some years ago. When I was having trouble with candida a few years ago, my husband suggested I write a story about a fungus that takes over people's bodies (if you're familiar with candida then you know that's not far-fetched.) I like to write but I'm not that involved nor that disciplined to write a novel. Mr. (Dr.!!) Cook could definitely handle fungus invasion inside or outside of the body...and make people think. Glad you thought of it too, Sue!! Cathe Re: [] The Fungus Game Cathe, You must have read my mind.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I saw that movie but didn't remember it as being a fungus. Hmmm, have to check the book out and take another look.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Robin Cook is an M.D. who's also an author. He wrote " Coma " in the 70's...he writes about weird experiments stemming from everyday medical procedures. ( " Coma " was made into a movie, also.) He writes medical thrillers, mostly.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 He is actually a medical doctor thats why most of his books are or have a medical theme to them.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I am making a list of shows that have to do with mold. X Files had many shows dealing with the almost supernaturel nature of molds, the movie Dark Water must have been written by someone with an apartment mold problem > > I wondered after I posted if I came off as dingy suggesting such a title.
