...hide,'' the trooper says. The leader disagrees: "There was nowhere f______ else," he tells Time. He stood firm, the hides were built, and the men took their places, three of them lying behind and partly under each bush. "They were the sort of bushes you see in a cartoon," says the trooper, "where you could pick them up and walk around." Some of the men were convinced it was only a matter of time before they were discovered. As the rising sun revealed other gun emplacements on the hills around them, they grew more and more uneasy...
Brendon Small is a soccer-playing grade-schooler, but what he really wants to do is direct. Cartoon Network's animated series trails Brendon and his pals as they shoot and quibble artistically over some of the worst B movies ever committed to home video.

Those blocky, too smooth cartoon faces are starting to fill in with wrinkles and lines and freckles. Suddenly, they emote...
...geek, well, that's because he is. He loves making fictional territorial maps of the galaxy. He can tell you how many extraterrestrial races have been featured on Star Trek. His latest hobby is collecting outdated Soviet space equipment. But his inner nerd is hardly humorless. Wright's cartoon-like sense of the ridiculous--familiar to all Sims players--is still much in evidence in Spore. The opening stages of the game, in which a player must eat or be eaten by other microbes, is a deliberate homage to Pac-Man. Later, after your amphibious creatures have acquired enough limbs...
