You can get 20 tacos from the dollar menu of Taco Bell!

Or 4 beers at your favorite bar.

Of you can buy one of those paddles with a ball attached to a rope, which might provide more lasting entertainment than Spore.

1 tank of gas (yeah, motorcycles rule the world ;D...600 miles on 55$ worth of gas!!)
4 Thursday nights' entrance fee at the local gay bar
2000 Beers on penny liquor night at Five Points (college town)
42 gajillion packs of Ramen!!
5 DVD's at the used DVD bin at Blockbuster
2 Veggie Burger Wraps, each with a side of black bean salad and an Iced Passion Fruit tea with cream and sugar at the local tea house
2 Posters of The Joker from TDK
5 night classes of thai chi on campus

And so did Parvati, possibly...?

I certainly can't think of any other illegal activity worth spending $20 on...except maybe burning $20 in the street and pirating the parts pack (j/k, I'm not a pirate. Except on Halloween.)

What the...you can't use that kind of language here, this isn't Science Spore!

Only if you were refering to what they call a nickelbag in the US.

I still think mine is the best way you could possibly spend 20$. AAAHHHH NOOOO...I ran out of twinkies

Indeed, I was. Much better value for $20...and at least I can share that with my friends

Yup, you got the message
At least you can share it.
Unlike some other product that has drawn us to this place.

I'm often glad that gaming is my only addiction. Because it leaves me with more money for games.

I already put my 20 dollars in the World of Warcraft Xpac.

40 dollars for one Xpac with gigs of added content or spend 20 dollars on a creature parts pack that adds nothing to game play at all... Hmm, not really a hard decision.

I know you'll mention the monthly fee but for that fee I get a real MMO full of real people to do things with in an ever changing game world that gives me the freedom to play solo or to do things with a group and is updated throughout the year at no additional costs.

Spore is fun, but it's not so fun that many of us are going to pour 20 dollars into every couple of months for parts and pieces that should have came with the game from the very start.

IMHO

Where are you getting them from? White Castle?

Here's an idea. Put the $20 on the end of a piece of string and hold onto the other end. Place the $20 on the street and hide and wait for someone to see it. When they go to pick it up, yank the string.

99 cent double stacks

We could all dump out 20$ into an account and commission Maxis to remake Spore in the original sense?

Basically all I've been eating for the past month.

And it costs less than twenty bucks.

Well like, Penny Liquor is like once a month at that bar...busiest night seeing as you come with a dollar, you have 100 beers right there.
And Ramen + Powder Pack + Slice of Kraft Single Cheese + Texas Pete Hotsauce = Epic Win

I like to crack an egg into my ramen.

There's also this great site with ramen recipes
