Due to theworrying levelof DRM included in the PC version ofMass Effect, one can’t help but be nervous over the upcoming Maxis-developed gameSpore, which is also being published by … umphf … What? That’s weird, I seem to have blacked out there for a few minutes. Hey, where’d this mysterious,shiny boxon my desk come from? It appears to be a copy ofSpore, but the packaging is noticeably different. I wonder whatspecialsecrets could be hidden in thiseditionof the game. Let’s crack it open and find out.
While none of these items appear to be truly noteworthy, they have nonetheless distracted me from whatever negative line of thinking I was originally engaged in, along with camouflaging the additional $30 in the price tag.
Aside from getting the box, it also seems that at some point in the last five minutes I preordered five additional copies, bought two more copies of theSpore Creature Creator, and designed seventeen new creatures to join the1,000,000-pluson Sporepedia. For some reason I also have a business card from John Riccitiello in my pocket, along with some stitches in my head that weren’t there before. Hmmmmmm.
