It's Here!

Spore gets released this week. I've been waiting for this game since it was announced at E3 in 2005.

Since I quit WoW, I haven't found much time to play video games. That's a good thing, I suppose, but a bad thing too since I miss playing with Tom, Carl, and the gang. But I just might have to make time for Spore.

Of course, Warhammer comes out later this month too. And I suppose I'll have to at least dabble in that as I have in AoC. The Realm vs. Realm play should give it a little more staying power than AoC seems to have. And I know Carl shares my affinity for PvP. :-)

Still, the thing about MMOs is that they really aren't fun if you're not fully participating in a community. It's a horrible time sink; but it's the people that makes MMOs fun.

Sadly, nothing will ever compare to the two years that I ran the guild on WoW; maybe MMOs are dead to me forever.

So, Spore might be a nice single-player retreat when I need to get away from work. I just pre-ordered it on Amazon Prime, so we'll see!
