Will Wright and Brian Eno - Spore Metaverse
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2006/06/26/Will... "The Sims" designer Will Wright demonstrates the user-created "metaverse" from his latest game, "Spore," with additional commentary by musician Brian Eno. ----- Will Wright and Brian Eno on "Playing with Time." In a dazzling duet Will Wright and Brian Eno give an intense clinic on the joys and techniques of "generative" creation. Back in the 1970s both speakers got hooked by cellular automata such as Conway's "Game of Life," where just a few simple rules could unleash profoundly unpredictable and infinitely varied dynamic patterns. Cellular automata were the secret ingredient of Wright's genre-busting computer game "SimCity" in 1989. Eno was additionally inspired by Steve Reich's "It's Gonna Rain," in which two identical 1.8 second tape loops beat against each other out of phase for a riveting 20 minutes. That idea led to Eno's "Music for Airports" (1978), and the genre he named "ambient music" was born. The Long Now Foundation was established in 01996* to develop the Clock and Library projects, as well as to become the seed of a very long term cultural institution. The Long Now Foundation hopes to provide counterpoint to today's "faster/cheaper" mind set and promote "slower/better" thinking. We hope to creatively foster responsibility in the framework of the next 10,000 years - The Long Now Foundaton

First of all it is impossible for other player to do so because they aren't playing the same game. Your computer is suppling thier creations, and YOUR COMPUTER is doing that stuff. Maybe you should quit complaining and get an easier game, which you should take as an insult because as other have said before me: Spore was really dumbed down for all the toddelers and seniors that would play it.[btw sorry for sterotyping anybody. I know some people that age are very intellegent. ;)]

The main problem with spore is that it's completely and utterly gay. It's as if it was designed for six-year-olds. Which is just fine, there's nothing wrong with that, but don't go to TED and talk it up like it's the second coming of SimLife. Don't go to bleeding NASA with the damn thing. What a pig in a poke that game was. I will never, ever buy another EA title. EA hasn't released a good game for years.

The main problem with spore is that it doesn't "appeal" tos erious players because it is too "easy", so why don't maxis design a hard mode?
