Ever wonder where the DotA command -rickroll came from? Well when you type the command in the game it will post messages like “never gonna let you die” “never gonna let you cry” and etc. This was inspired by Rick Astley’s Song “Never Gonna Give You Up”
It is used as an internet prank where you will be fooled to watch a certain video and the Rickroll music video will be shown instead. It’s actually quite frustratinng and is very famous on the ineternet.
It’s amazing what people do for games and for the things they are passionate about.

At its press conference just now, EA announced that over 1.8 million creatures have been created by people using the Spore Creature Creator — that’s more than the number of known species in the world (1.5 million)! The Creature Creator has been available less than a month, meaning all of those creatures were created in just that amount of time. This is an especially staggering number considering the real game in which these creatures are used, Spore, isn’t even available yet.
Spore creator Will Wright said that EA was hoping to get 100,000 creatures uploaded by players with the Creature Editor by September. They hit that number in 22 hours. Wright also showed off some of his favorite fan created creatures on screen.
EA also announced that National Geographic put together a documentary on evolution using Spore that will air the week the game ships. This documentary will be included in the Galactic Edition of the game.
