Spore @ PAX 2008

For those that are going to PAX 2008, you might want to tweak your schedule a little bit! Spore will be exhibited on Sunday, 2:30pm - 3:30pm so make arrangements.

http://www.pennyarcadeexpo.com/schedule.php

I was going to just go on Saturday but after finding this out, I'll return on Sunday to watch.

Aw that's alright! You get it 2 days earlier! Remember?

I've been looking into getting a camcorder anyway so maybe I'll try to sneak some video out, although it'll be poor quality etc.

It's a seven hour flight from where I live. The shame.

You work on Sundays?

Cool! Bring that camera, take good pictures and I'll post them on my blog too. If that's OK with you, of course.

Hmm, I'm in Victoria, BC right now, but I'm in no position to get into the States right now.

My heart is with you in Seattle guys!

Right now I'm waiting for the Fallout 3 presentation. The line is HUGE! I'm going to have to come in earlier than half an hour to get a good seat for Spore!

If I'm even to get into the Spore presentation, I'm going to have to get there an hour early. But there were two stations that allowed people to play Spore though! It was awesome! The warfare is simple but it probably was on easy mode.

Nope. It was packed with people wanting to play it too. I'll try to play it today.

It is roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes until the Spore demo and I'm third in line. I'm not having a repeat of Fallout 3!

My battery is about to die but it's only half an hour until we go in. The line doesn't look as bad as Fallout yesterday but it's going to be standing room!

I'll definitely come back with a report afterwards!

Oh! PS; Creature abilities are hotkeyed so you don't have to move the mouse down. It's kind of like World of Warcraft in terms of moving and attacking.
