    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Geebus, that is indeed impressive, very beautiful as well. It's amazing what they can do with technology these days, and all those fancy graphics reminds me about "Prey" (finally got hold of the demo just now), so I'm going to run off now and see if I can run it at all, hopefully I can, I've heard conflicting reports of it's compatibility and stability, here's hoping I can play it - it looks purdy.

    thats bloody impressive, ive tried my hand at games design and you must need some powerful machine to handle that, impressive isnt the word, and im thinking of getting prey for the 360 but ive not heard enough good things to add another fps to my collection.
