Will Wright meets E.O Wilson, all to talk about science and games.
Will Wright is the god of godgames, as they say. And E.O Wilson has a history for himself, too. He inspired Will to make SimAnt and Spore.

I was kinda disapointed with Spore actualy. I was all reved up, wanting to make this awesome raptor-like creature with two tails, but the creature-creating options turned out to be pretty limited. Also, the design of the creature in no way impacted how well it did in the game; it all depended on the parts you put on it. Still a big step forward in gaming, I suppose.
