My buddy Vig just brought this to my attention: Conway's Game of Life meets Oddworld:

Will Wright talking at the 2005 Game Developer's Conference about 'Spore', which looks like it could possibly be the best video game ever.

I just realized it was also pointed to me in an email a few days ago by my friend John Geisecki.

Release set for Q306 for the PC [bummer.] As much as a game, this looks like a great educational environment for classes on evolution *or* new media... or both.
