Think about how big the Universe is. You can't fathom it. There are so many galaxies, and there are so many of possible places for the incubation of organic compounds. This "pale blue dot" was in the right place, at the right time.
Also, we have no clue what so ever, and I'm pretty sure humans will never know. At this point in human history, the evidence for the primordial ooze theory seems to be the most likely scientific explanation.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not really an achievement whore. I just wan't developers to put a little more effort in how they reward players for doing cool stuff in their games. Currently achievements are the most widely accepted form of this.
It really bothers me when a high profile game like Mass Effect 2 comes out and has no support for achievements. There is no excuse, Steamworks is FREE! EA seems to be the biggest jerk when it comes to this. Dead Space 2 was just released and anything "special" in the console versions just isn't there.
When Mass Effect 2 was about to come out, I had assumed that it would be like Dragon Age and Bioware had set-up their own achievement system, boy was I wrong.
It isn't just EA games either. From the looks of it The Witcher 2 also does not have achievements. What the hell is this? CD Projekt RED, you have the perfect game for achievements. Also of which I have no idea why Stalker: Call of Pripyat doesn't have any achievements either.
I personally have purposefully not bought some PC games because there are no achievements. For instance, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and Two Worlds 2 come to mind.
I don't understand how major publishers have increased their PC games to $60 and don't give the same value as consoles get, even though there are NO royalty fees for PC development.
