"“I’ve had some ideas I’ve been working on in the background. There are plenty of different ways of seeing the world. The Sims and Spore are both about life on different scales, but they are essentially about what life means.”" - Chris Nuttall

"What is the difference between a game and a toy? Does a game that feels more like a toy — even a scintillating, empowering toy — fall short on its own terms? Or is it enough just to be a great toy?" - Steve Isaacs via Bookmarklet

"John Lasseter, chief creative officer at Pixar and Disney, loves playing with the Spore Creature Creator according to Maxis, Pixar’s Bay Area neighbour. But should he show alarm at what is being invented and uploaded online by others or welcome in a whole new generation of animators?" - Chris Nuttall

"Right now 1.75m species have been uploaded to Sporepedia and Wright noted that the milestone had been passed where the figure exceeded the 1.6m known species on Earth. He said it had taken 18 days to do this compared to God doing something similar in seven days, which, by some madcap calculation, made Spore fans 38 per cent God, he said." - Chris Nuttall

doesn't it bother you that EA owns all rights on the creatures you create and they even have the right to modify and monetize them (but you don't)? - Gaby Benkwitz
No, I guess it doesn't bother me. - Amit Patel

“Does anyone know if Spore will run on a NEW CURRENT GEN MacBook? I know it doesn't work on the older ones”
June 30 at 10:17 pm - Link
Hey Grant. The specs for the game say the GMA X3100 chipset is supported (source: http://www.spore.com/what/spec...). MacBooks currently include the GMA X3100 chipset. I wouldn't imagine you'd get the best performance, however. - Mark Trapp
Great!!! Thanks for the tip. Haven't got a MacBook yet so hopefully they upgrade before I buy - Grant
I run the creature creator on the Air and it's fine. - Steve Isaacs

any ideas? Maybe I'll toss in a gift certificate to Amazon for the full game or a spore shirt? - Adam Helweh
I'm all for this if enough people do this. - Michael Narciso

“Reasons why you should get the full creature creator: #1) Its only $10.”
June 30 at 6:39 pm - Link
Unless you are in Australia, then it is $14.99 US $15.50)...because it costs so much more to ship downloads to here - Allison
I got a rebate code to slash the price of the creature creator from the full game if I buy them both online. That was reason enough for me. :) - Daniel Bruce
#2 Because the creature creator alone could have been sold for more than $10 and I would have still bought it. The possibilities are endless, I've spent more time with this $10 game than most $50-60 games. - Michael Narciso

Thanks Ken Kennedy I found the video deep into my feed and just reshared it. Worked perfectly! - Michael Narciso
Just wanted to share a creature I created 8 days ago. What do you guys think? I was going to make him a rather nice creature but the urge to make him evil overcame me. - Michael Narciso
Oh, yeah...FF uses the RSS item's timestamp, so it can show up way back in your feed. Good idea w/ reshare, though! I like him! - Ken Kennedy

Seriously, I can't stop making them. I need to buy the full version. Or... maybe I don't... :) - felix
haha my first attempt was brutal. yours looks great :) - Frankie Warren
That dude is heavy footed. Stomping around pretty hard. - Adam Helweh
Felix, you should definitely buy the full version, there are much better parts to play with in the full version. - Michael Narciso

Yeah, I just went to buy and found this out. SUX. It doesn't even make sense, they've got the boxed version for mac as far as I can tell, just pack it up and put it on the server. Grrr. - felix
I think its out now, but I just hopped in my car and grabbed it from my local Fry's electronics instead. Gametree really screwed the pooch on that one. - Adam Helweh
