Spore Evolves with New Content, Gameplay and Tools EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With more than 30 million player creations invading the Internet since the launch of Spore™, fans have let their imaginations run wild and soon players will be able to take their creativity and gameplay to even greater heights! Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced the development of a Space stage expansion pack and Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack -- add-ons that will grow and evolve the critically-acclaimed video game, Spore.
“Spore is an incredibly personal and customizable experience,” said Lucy Bradshaw, general manager of Maxis studio. “Many of our fans have asked us for even more tools to build with, while others are looking to extend their gameplay. As soon as we wrapped up Spore, we turned our focus to creating additional content that caters to fans’ individual tastes. With the cosmos as our backdrop, we can take Spore in almost infinite directions, constantly changing and evolving the experience.”
Gamers will experience deeper Space stage gameplay with an expansion pack scheduled for release in spring 2009. For the first time, players’ space faring creatures will be able to beam down from their spaceships to explore new planets and earn rewards for completing challenging missions. A new Adventure Creator will allow players to build and share online their own custom missions, providing almost endless gameplay possibilities.
The Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack, available worldwide as soon as November 18, 2008, provides more than 100 new creature-building components themed in two distinct styles—charming, cartoon-esque creatures and scary, monster-like creatures. Including body parts, paint options, animations, backgrounds and more, Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack allows users of Spore or the retail version of the Spore Creature Creator to give their creatures distinct personalities like never before!
I never feel have felt the need that I can't play a game without the newest expanion set. So i'm not worried. If it gets to the point that I can't play the game without fifty some new expansions then I'll just sell it!
Ok, so to tell everyone my computer problem affairs is going to be tricky..
So, I was sitting at Joe's house perusing the internet and when it came time to go, I left. I get home, put on the Packer game, and flip the computer open to get real time stats, the internet browser doesn't connect to the internet. I had full signal, had full connection, but nothing worked. Firefox, internet explorer, nothing. I try out my 64 bit internet, and it worked for some reason, but a 64 bit browser does not support flash, so youtube was out of the question, and most other major sites on the web
So, I was pissed. I though maybe it had something to do with the ISP having troubles that day so I waited till Monday to try it at school, you know, rule out all possibilities. Still nothing though on Monday. Frustrated as hell now.
I try everything, deleting add ons, scanning for viruses, the whole shebang. Thats when I notice nothing on my computer had updated since the connection business!!!! Not good, as my virus definitions update at least 3 times a day and for it to not update is a serious problem. So I do a system restore and go back 4 days and now everything is so peachy I could start up a peach farm, marry the prettiest peach of the bunch, and have little peach babies.
And to relate it to this topic, Spore worked the entire time, which is interesting as nothing else did. Guess you can't beat evolution.

I haven't really played it in awhile. I've had a friend's copy of Bioshock (a freakishly AWESOME game if you haven't seen or played it yet) and i've been trying to beat it (for my second time, mind you) so i can finally give it back. But I haven't had a lot of time even for that lately.
