Robin Williams plays Spore

Steve Schulze

Not only is this pretty funny, but it gives a really good idea of the capabilities and function of Spore's creature designing facility.

Zcubed

That was great! Hopefully Robin Williams will show up at my house and help me build my creature!

MoP

Ahaha, brilliant!

Ramucho

Great video. Robin Williams is a bit of a gamer. I remember reading a few years ago that he regularly played Day of Defeat, and this was back before it was a retail game when it was still a mod for the original Half-Life.

MoP

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he played the original Counter-Strike a fair bit too. A friendly face for the world stage as a gaming representative, for sure.

Joshua Stubbles

Haha, yeah that ws great.

Spore itself, I cannot WAIT for. Been watching that since last E3 - looks absolutely amazing.

Daz

Pretty cool. I've actually met him once. He's been to EA HQ several times. Seemed like a genuinely decent bloke. Him and Bing Gordon (one of the founders of EA) are old buddies which is how this came about.

That was great, by far the most entertaining demo video I've seen.

Peris

Orpheus posted this in #MD. it's the full demonstration of Spore before the Robin Williams bit along with a discussion with Williams about gaming and a brief bit with Will Wright.

be warned though, the video is 420mb.

He was on Letterman one night talking about Quake way back when.

edit: Here's the account:

"He went on to talk about this game called "Quake", and described how he would walk into a room, stand there for a second, and instantly die a grizzly death. Then, the 5 "college guys" who play for at least 8 hours a day would walk up to him from out of the shadows, give his corpse a kick, and then run off to kill again."
