Our Editor in Chief Julianne Greer guest stars on Minnesota Public Radio to discuss the importance of Spore and yes, mentions the penis monsters.
The curiously named "The Week from In the Loop," hosted by the affable Jeff Horwich, asked our own Julianne to help explain why Spore is garnering such a buzz. Breaking down the game's significance for the mainstream listening audience without talking down to them, she outlined Spore's basic gameplay, then touched briefly on the potential impact of "Sporn," saying:
"It is concerning to people who don't want to be exposed to that...but you can't really allow the human mind to really go and play and have fun and get outside of the box unless you're willing to allow all kind of creativity and all kinds of creations."
Julianne went on to reason that, after the initial shock and/or horror wears off, those who encounter Spore's infamous penis monsters will likely find themselves asking, "hey, I wonder what else I can create?"

He smelled real bad and he said his name was Bernie
I put in a Slim Whitman tape, my wife put on a brand new hair net
Kids were in the back seat jumping up and down, yelling "Are we there yet?"
And all of us were joined together in one common thought
As we rolled down the long and winding interstate in our '53 DeSoto
We're gonna see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
We're headin' for the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota |
