The internet's gone completely apeshit with images of abominations created with the Spore creature editor, an incomplete version of which was "leaked" a few days ago, spread all the hell all over the internet on Bittorrent, and is now being offered from the EA website as a trial download. (Full version of the creature editor available tomorrow!) I don't know how many people actually believe that the leak was a legitimate mistake; but if I were to start talking about Spore being viral, the collection of specific words and phrases required to frame the discussion would no doubt put me on a short list for government monitoring re: biological weapons terrorism.

Thus, EA, Maxis, Will Wright, Serpentor, et. al, have effectively pre-emptively silenced any questions of chumming the waters on their part. Well played, gentlemen. Well played.

And it's not, you know, hard to guess what kind of sophomoric nonsense dudes are going to be creating with this thing pretty much immediately. In point of fact, this territory's been so thoroughly covered that I'm not even going to dare to weigh in with any creations of my own; I am a rare and delicate snowflake and I will not have my beauty lost in the blizzard.

No, my contribution to this conversation is the neologism that is this entry's title, one that I am surprised (and relieved!) to have not heard anybody else use yet, and so that will be my claim to fame. I will be the one to give a name to this daring new medium of expression, which has enabled every man and woman and child to boldly explore the depths of their frustrated sexual neuroses and to each become their own personal Cronenberg nightmare factories.

Yes, Sporenography. Sometimes I am just so clever I amaze even myself.

Edit: Well, drat, it looks like Kotaku had me beat by 48 hours.
