Bill C-61 – The Hall of Shame

On June 18, 2008, in opinion, by admin

This is the hall of shame – these politicians claim to represent Canadians, yet they support a Bill that will curtail the rights of Canadians without any reasoning whatsoever. They have lied in a boldfaced manner to their constituents and their fellow Canadians by stating that this bill is needed and claiming that it protects artists.

If you’re on this list you should be ashamed of yourself.

Josee Verner – MP for Louis-Saint-Laurent
David Sweet – MP for Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale

The Spore Creature Creator

On June 17, 2008, in game news, news, by admin

The Spore Creature Creator has launched.

The demo is available now, with 25% of what will be available in the final version. The PC client will be available for download tomorrow or you can have a Mac/PC edition sent via mail for a few dollars more (and a few days wait!).

Will Wright built his own mint with The Sims; while Spore will be popular I don’t think it will have the same sort of legs. It’s going to be a hard sell trying to market a creature game to the same demographic (mostly girls and women) that purchased The Sims.
