"Monkeys with Guns"
A quote from Will Wright, heard during the video referenced in my last entry:
I talked about landmarks last time in my talk last year, and I'm going to show you just a few of the landmarks for me in the design. One of my landmarks is I've always been fascinated with the idea of monkeys with guns. [Laughter.] And I don't know why, you know. It's just what happens when you give monkeys guns. It's just, there's something cool about that.I had never thought about it, but there is something cool about the idea of monkeys with guns. And Spore will let us all experience that. Okay, with monkey-like creatures, anyway.
