Will Wright Likes VGCats. A lot.

If that was not awesome enough, Maxis this week sent VG Cats author Scott Ramsoomair Spore figurines identical to his creations. You can view pictures (compliments of Scott's mom) here. How's that for customer service?

Quick, Kano! Make a webcomic about silly Kreate-A-Kombatants and send it to Ed Boon!

IBTN. I'm going to attribute this travesty as a momentary and severe lapse of judgment by the Spore team.

Enough to even send him custom figures based on it.

If Scott Ramsoomair was smart he'd make a second comic about Spore which features a cameo from a suitcase filled with ten million dollars.

I remember back in the day when VGCats use to be semi-funny and that I actually look forward to Scott updating the comic.

But lately? It's just an un-funny webcomic that's really just a mask for Scott's "DearDiary" fest. I won't soon forget the time he didn't update on Monday and posted "No comic today. Deal with it." And then, later, changed it to, "No comic today. Updates soon."

Compared to other Webomic artist(writers), he's the worst. The guy I admire is
Brian Clevinger, over at http://nuklearpower.com/, home of 8-bit Theater. The guy is rarely late with his updates (missing only one day because his grandfather died), and if a con is coming up, he just produces them all before the con and the comics are /still/ released. :link:
