The Long Zoom - New York Times article

zoomed.jpg After having read the article, I'm not certain whether it is a comment on gaming, an interview with Will (and others) or a preview, but it sure is a very interesting article.

So The Long Zoom by author Steven Johnson is perhaps a bit of everything and it does have some really good info on Spore, even for those who have followed the game for a while. Did you know for instance that Will first started work on the game over six years ago?

A quote from the article to whet you appetite:

“O.K., now we’re finally cooling off,” he said, clicking furiously on his computer screen. “The temperature’s going down, so we can get more water in here. Oh, now we’ve got way too much atmosphere.” While adjusting the planet, he paused long enough to say: “It’s kind of like that labyrinth game where you’re rolling the ball around the maze, trying to drop it in the hole. Except we’ve got these inertial effects, where your planet starts heating up, and you’re trying to slow it down, but you get these runaway greenhouse effects.” He turned back to the screen. “O.K., our temperature’s pretty good; our atmosphere’s pretty good. Now let’s see if we can add water.”

For the full article, head on over to The New York Times.

It seems NYT has changed the availability of this article so that only registered members can read it now. :fuckdummies:

Felix H. Cat - October 10th, 2006 - 05:58
Uhhh... I don't know if they're filtering American IPs for subscription or what... but I'm from Canada and just like the Belgium guy, I could read it fine. =D

Great article.

Falconer - October 10th, 2006 - 09:08
Seems that sometimes it is open and sometimes it is not. I have had it work about 60% of the times I tried to access it.

<a href=http://www.wowgoldprice.com>Wow gold</a> is shorted for world of warcraft gold; it is the currency we used in one of the most popular MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game), it is the most valuable form of currency in this game. We can earn wow gold through many ways, players can look through some websites like ours which specialized in sales <a href=http://www.wowgold-shopping.com>wow gold</a> to buy some gold, or they can spend a lot of time to upgrade their hero or other roles they chooses in the game. I think the most effective ways to get this gold are hunting, questing and crafting.

There are more stars than all of the grains of sand on earth.

You can see stars from the bottom of a well even in day light.

Stars with really strong gravity cause themselves to become smaller and smaller and eventually turn into black holes.
