life of a blog

So as I was watching the Colbert Report the other day, his guest was the guy who invented the Sims and came up with this new game, Spore. He was talking about the Sim games, and the more he talked about it, the less I liked the Sim games.
He was talking and he was describing the reasons that people would want to play these games, they seemed pretty sick. For example, he said, if kids "had a bad home life" they could essentially "make a new life for themselves" Except in this game, the kids get to play God. Not bad son or daughter, like usual.

I've never played these games, and I'm not really into computer games in general, but I don't see the fun in creating a world filled with robotic people and making them interact. I'm fine dealing with real people in real life, some of whom may be robots. This game Spore intrigues me as well. It's like the Sims, but instead of cities and towns, you're building life. I didn't realize that this game didn't some out for almost another year. I think it's September of next year. I'm excited to not play it.
