Before I continue, I am obligated to say the following because I am using EA Game’s graphics kit:

Released September 7th, Spore is an elegant combination of different types of gameplay with one grand theme: start as a single-celled organism, evolve, become intelligent, and eventually conquer fight your way to the center of the galaxy. It is available for a number of different platforms and Spore Origins (just the single-celled organism game) is available for mobile phones.

Based upon the number of hours of my life it has consumed to date, I give Spore a 5 out of 5.

Some highlights:
• You decide on the direction of your species’ evolution - become a carnivore, grow horns, evolve 6 arms, etc. I recommend you check out EA Games’ free downloadable Creature Creator.

• You go through the varying phases of social complexity - a social animal, a tribe society, a complex society, and eventually a galactic empire.

• The colonization of space appears to constitute over 95% of the entire game, and if you haven’t gotten that far yet, you still have so much more to look forward to!

Update 9/28/08:
I just finished the game.
I think.
It’s hard to tell if there’s more or not.

Update 9/29/08:
Now there is even a Spore Wiki.

I love that somebody has a sense of humor at the FOX network.  In a bow to the Bush administration, Friday’s first presidential debate on FOX will be preceded by “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?.” Priceless.

I went to Wendy’s this afternoon, I had to try their “Baconator” - in the name of science, bacon, and all that is awesome.

It was like when I found out that Santa Claus wasn’t real.

All the ingredients were there, but they didn’t look like the advertisement photos and they tasted like greasy sadness.

This type of thing is also why I will never go on dating websites or get a mail-order bride: rarely is anything as awesome as its marketing photo.

…but I’m a Lego.

In honor of Lego’s 30th anniversary, the company has immortalized celebrities such as Amy Winehouse, Madonna, David Beckham and Simon Cowell. I’m told that the celebrity plastic collection will not be available to the public, so why even bother to make these?
