It sounds accurate for 2008, but in 2005 people had higher hopes I think, hehe. I wonder what at the time inspired these guys that specific comic. It's hilarious though. "Will Right! Please pee on us!"

I remember reading it at the time, and finding it hilarious... now it's more sad, though still a little funny.

I remember being somewhat annoyed at this comic for failing to see how revolutionary Spore would be...

Ah, the naivety of youth.

So did this comic actually exist in 2005?

 

[lutzj]

Yep. Note the bottom-right corner.
