On the topic of giving creative power (and lots of it) to players, Wright explained, "When you give players creative control, you have to expect they're going to do the unexpected," but he was quick to add, "We just have to make sure those people aren't messing up the experience for others." To this end, Wright told the AP that there will be a system in place whereby players can "ban" content from ever appearing in their own Spore universe.

Will Wright doesn't blush at 'Sporn'
33
Speaking with the Associated Press, Spore creator and bona fide master game designer, Will Wright, seemed surprisingly ... okay with the various "Spore-nographic" organs creatures people have made using the Spore Creature Creator. "Some of it's really good for what they were shooting for. It's amazingly explicit, especially when those creations are animated," Wright said.

EA is the publishing company who basically has all of the rights to the game: the article is just about the game designer's opinion.

Maybe you should use a more clever naming convention.

Will Wright is pretty much awesome. He's also a worthy spokesman for the industry.
Have you ever heard his interview on Q (CBC Radio)? It's quality stuff.

So..... has that McCain fight made everyone feel awkward? Thats the only reasonable argument for so few comments on a Spore story. But, hey, now we can talk about religion through our asses!

I'm sure there's got to be some spocknography out there by now.

I really don't think you want Spocknography.

Captain, you look tense. Perhaps I should give you a back rub.

So this means that if we don't ban that content in our local game, we can get the true, full universe? Like turning off the profanity filter in online games?

On a related note, I'm noticing an increasing number of Spore ads on the bus stops around Vancouver, Canada. It's kind of neat to see game-related advertising spill into a medium that rarely sees the like. They're well presented, too, and horribly unsightly like most other bus stop ads.

Probably because removing the flying genitalia would remove around 90% of all user created content.

OK, I know there's no way to ask this question without appearing a complete perv, so let's just take that as read...
So...
Anyone actually got some sample links/vids? I'm intrigued as-to how "good" these creatures are (boy, there's a multitude of nested meanings!)
... In other news ...
Anyone ever played "Magic Pengel" (I believe it's called) for the PS-2? The Front Row Crew seemed to think it was pretty appropriate for this task too.

It's not a penis, it's a vestigial tail. It's not a vagina, it's a 2nd mouth.

"...do the unexpected..." Unexpected? A penis creature was the FIRST thing I thought of making.
