I'm quite interested in Spore - but the reviews on Play.com all seemed rather negative. I suspect this may be a case of the reviewers not 'getting it' though.

Well, so far there's a validation glitch affecting a lot of customers so she can't share the online content, which is the bit where you share creatures and have other people's creatures in your gam (like sharing a Mii).

Fuck! I didn't even know the tickets were on sale yet. Not that he's doing any London shows (I think).
