So is anyone out there playing spore? 
If so, whats your EA name there?
For the uninitiated, Spore lets you share your content as its created, and you can specify 'buddies' of yours to get a greater share of their goodies (creatures, buildings, civilizations, et cetera) to populate the worlds you find yourself in.
I promise I won't release your creatures out into the vacuum of space.

Is it fun?
However the technology behind the scenes is very impressive from the creature, vehicle and building creator as well as the procedural textures and graphics.
EA name is cheesemoo, friend me!
The buddy system is pretty, uh, basic, so each person has to add each other both ways. Oh well.
The levels are too short. The creature editor is cool, but once you've made your penis monsters, or your spiky demons from hell, or your spiky penis demon monsters from hell, there's just not that much beyond that.
That said, I hope people out there are at least enjoying it more than I did.
I don't do that very often, last games I bought were Crysis and before that Flight Simulator X.
But if someone is going to try and limit me to THREE installs I'm not going to pay for it. Anyone that is considering buying this, don't support them.
The sharing of creatures sounds awesome tho.
I think spore as a game isnt quite the awe inspiring end all entertainment, but for those that love to create things, it is what i like to refer to as
the new age digital legos.
there i said it. I dont actually play the game so much as I just sit there and make things. Then make them better. Then make other things to go along with it. Then make other things I wanted to create. Then make something completely different just for the hell of it. Then later when im not making things on spore I think of something else i want to create etc etc etc.
so basicly you have a sporegasm or you dont. Some people find its right up their alley as a creative outlet and others find that its not quite as great a game as it is hyped up to be.
