Excellent, another one claimed by Spore

Its funny how the game seems to suck people in and drive them to create things. Its obvious by the quality of pictures that you're posting that you're no stranger to art, but if you look at some of the other things people are posting, you can see Spore has driven us to make things. WW wanted to give us the ability to more or less make our own game, shape it as we go along, but he's gone another step further. If you look at how excited it has some of us, excited us to the point of drawing loads of little ideas, writing little stories, we're like overstimulated kids. If the promise of something has caused average people to go into a creating frenzy even before the game has come out, then WW should know by now, that he's on to something big.
I have to agree though, I remember thinking dreamily about how games could be in the "future", how great they could be, how you could make your own universes and creatures and stuff. Funnily enough, as I grew up, despite the odd entertaining and original game, the most of what we were fed were clones of old games with extra graphics on top. A full year until release though. A full year. With the release of the recent E3 videos, this place seems to have gotten a lot more active, and I can hardly blame anyone for it. Welcome to the forums, bud.
