Spore is long on personality, and short on content. But when creative people get their hands on it, some pretty cool stuff happens. In fact, you might say Spore is like clay in search of an artist. The same sort of clay a bunch of guys might use for, say, claymation. So here's a little synergy I can get behind: Maxis has hired the writers of the Robot Chicken series to make adventures for the upcoming Galactic Adventures expansion for Spore.

Adventures created by writers from this outrageously funny, Emmy award-winning TV show will be available as free downloadable content when the game launches June 23. The campaign was conceptualized by Robot Chicken co-creators Seth Green and Matt Senreich and executed by the writing team including Matt Beans, Doug Goldstein, Mike Fasolo, Breckin Meyer, Dan Milano, Tom Root, Kevin Shinick, Hugh Sterbakov and Zeb Wells. With such a unique cast of imaginative characters, players can expect to experience missions with exploding poo, angry yetis, ruler yielding librarians and more!

More stuff like this, games industry. There are a lot of talented writers out there and most of them aren't writing videogames. Please hire them more often.
