82Ask

As we’re not going crazy like we do every time we try and meet some kind of deadline, we didn’t discover something very unusual in the adverts in this months’ Gamer.

82Ask is a text service which claims to answer any question at all.  It’s that simple.  You can ask it literally anything and it will provide you with a response.  If you put PCG before the question, you get the second question for free.
Obviously, the first thing I asked for was the email address of Kim Coates agent so we can use his voice for our Mode 7 Games ident.  This unfortunately produced the response:

Unable to verify the name of Kim Coates agent.  No charge

Undeterred by this, I asked why everyone is getting so excited about Spore when, in our view, it’s clearly just high-concept disjointanalia at the present time.  Here was the reply:

Spore is eagerly anticipated because it simulates the complete history & future of life.  However it is made, it is an appealing undertaking.

Exactly.  More fun with 82Ask coming soon.  Possibly.  Back to work…
