Will Wright's Spore To Release Sept. 7th
After several delays and much anticipation, Spore looks like it will finally be coming out this year. EA has announced a September 7th release date for the game. The only confirmed platforms so far are Windows PCs, Macintoshes, the Nintendo DS and various mobile phones. Wright wants the Wii, 360, and PS3 to have the game, but they're not firm 'yes'es yet. Newsweek's LevelUp blog is celebrating the announcement with a series of interviews. N'Gai Croal spoke to Will Wright, and the man himself tries to convince us why it's been worth the wait, and (oh yeah) why it has taken so long. Croal also sat down with the game's Executive Producer, Lucy Bradshaw, who explains how the game has settled onto other platforms like the DS and mobile phones.
Screw you.
I care about the game. I have ever since I saw the GDC video back in 2005, before the hype even started.

Will Wright's Spore To Release Sept. 7th ... 2026
It would be even funnier if the Mighty Mouse didn't suck so hard that various /. nerds have been cheating on their vacuums with it...
Seriously, though, that little trackball thingy on top is crap, and the lack of click-chording capabilities is an *absolute* deal-breaker for me. (For those of you who haven't heard of it, chording is where you click multiple buttons at the same time. Plan 9 makes heavy use of it)
That said, I'm sure the Mighty Mouse will work for Spore. But real men will continue to use true three-button mice, with three distinct buttons and no clicky rolly thing in the middle.
Klingon programs don't timeshare, they battle for supremacy.
**WOOOOSH**
That was the sound of a my joke, riding an Air book, going over your head.
