Cthulhu Cthursday: Spored

The Spore Creature Creator, from autistic demigod Will Wright, has spread at a breakneck pace throughout the internet since its release. YouTube is heavy and tumescent with short videos of various abortions of nature and blasphemies from people, ignorant in the ways of creation, anatomy, and a life without the horrible pain resulting from a spine bent at various, unnatural angles.

Even Ectomo is not immune to the siren call of such god-like powers. Qais has become so deeply drawn into his own, private Book of Genesis that we fear we may have lost him forever. Even now, as I write these words, I can hear the strains of Strauss’s “Also sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30″ wafting through the offices. He plays it so loudly that, even with his door shut, every movement can be heard quite clearly. His correspondences have even begun to suffer, consisting almost solely of links to videos of his newest life-forms; and they are always, at the very least, unsettling. I’m still not comfortable with anything having that many pairs of testicles.

Needless to say, then, that it was inevitable that the great Cthulhu would shamble forth from the diseased brain of Spore obsessed cultists. The number of different interpretations excreted onto YouTube is impressive, though they range from quite good to, frankly, awful. One can only wonder if, when the full game is released, we will see entire planets of Cthuloid creatures, growing and thriving until maturing enough to go off into the universe of Spore and lay it to waste.
