What will space really be like? Will we overcome our propensity for war.
Mega Intergalactic Corporations at war in space?! Anyway, putting aside for now
discussions on the violence that comes out of 'grand ideas' and its part in gaming,
watching player created trailers actually captured from this game sets my brain on fire
with the possibilities of our future. I would like to see this game evolve its character

Fierce Love and Responsibility
It was 1989 when I experienced a certain life changing event which helped me to awake from a fearful apocalyptic nightmare definition of reality that ruled my every day during my teenage life. An event so strong that it triggered a wave of transformation that gradually helped me see the futility of my definitions and how they were dis-empowering me to do anything effective toward negating the awesome darkness I saw before me. In a strange and lonely place I found a leap of faith and within myself the realization of choices I had never given to and began to dispel the darkness and cancel doomsday personally.... They say horses will run into a burning barn overwhelmed by the reaction in their minds from the sight of the fire. That was me, then. Today, I am no longer overwhelmed to the point of powerlessness by the horrors of human atrocity. It took what seems like a lot of miracles, besides herculean efforts to get to this stage. A stage where I want to look at the darkness again - not in morbid way or a half empty fashion. No. In a way as to find what It is that I can do - some how - some way - now that am wiser and stronger and more fierce than ever in my empathy - internally and externally ... So if alarms are triggered when I put some things here, my intention is to cultivate awareness of the things that we fear to face, so that we do not succumb to define ourselves into a place powerlessness. I want to wake up. I must wake up. Many people are powerless, are true victims and do not have the resources and tools some of us are fortunate to have. Here. http://www.warchild.ca/
