Spore Users Create Political Animals

Spore Users Create Political Animals

September 30, 2008

techPresident has uncovered some tinkering with Spore's Creature Creator utility by politically-minded gamers.

By way of example the site points to Spore-rendered versions of George W. Bush, John McCain (at left) and Sarah Palin.

To be fair, the Palin creature is bit of a stretch...

So, is the union of Spore and politics called Sporitics? Spolitics?

Great. Because I was just thinking to myself: 'I wish I had another reason to never play this game.'

Well, she is the one who compared herself with a bulldog in lipstick.

Yeah... I guess I can see how that is a stretch for her, I thought it was her at first, then I realized it didn't look enough like Tina Fey, haha.

I personally found that to be a more accurate picture of Sarah Palin than anything else i've seen.

sqlrob: @d: The endpoint doesn't see the change. It's compressed (and other optimizations) between client and hardware, then normal
Posted 11/20/08 at 07:01pm
d.vel.oper: @sql: I'm assuming we're talking about more here than just endpoint compression?
