Right.

As long as I'm playing this, let’s just get one thing straight right now.

Spore ≠ lesson in evolutionary biology.

Spore ≠ creationist/“Intelligent Design” propaganda.

Spore = WHEE computervideogame.

I mean, are we really going to do this? Do you want me to get all anthropological on your ass about how the tribal and civilization stages are inaccurate? Shall we go over the failed linguistics of the random names the computer assigns each tribesman? What about the way it picks randomized aliens to populate your planet, with no clear related ecosystems or common ancestors?

Are we going to reach back and say that all games now are religious propaganda because the player gets to, well, play god?

Come on, guys, really. It’s a game. Will you all just chill the fuck out already?
