Open Girlfriend vs BobularPre-Round: July 14th Open Girlfriend was created as an idea around the end of 2005 by two (mad) scientists. They wanted to develop semi-artificial humans that could be speedgrown to an appropriate size for the "user" (with lack of better words). The project would have a developing-model not unlike the one so called open source and free software projects have, so the user would be free to modify the girlfriend for his (or her) needs (read about the four freedoms below). Anyway, in 2006 they added the project on SourceForge.net (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengf/), and the development rate was very fast. Already the second day in July this year (2007) they released the source for the first prototype (v1.0rc1), which was based on Sols desires (one of the scientists). A photo of it's base can be found here:

Bobular was created on a rather boring day. I was in English class in Grade 9 and I was bored as hell. I started drawing on my English duotang and I drew a stick figure. I don't know why I drew it, but it was pretty plain. Then I thought I should give my creation a name. I was thinking of a real person's name and I ended up with 'Bob'. Now I needed to think of one last part of the name, then I was thinking at the time that Majora's Mask is a Spectacular Game! Then it hit me! 'ular' would work perfectly. I put it together and then I got 'Bobular'. Then I thought of other creations like 'Marular, the Capped Figure', 'Goombular, the Goomba', and 'Devular, the Devil Stick Figure'. None of them were a match for Bobular.
