Human
The Human Race is considered the most intelligent species on Earth. If the colonization of Mars is successful, the human race will be the only known species living on more than one planet.

What makes humans different from other species?
Unlike other known species, the human race has created artificial means for a great variety of activities. The accumulation and distribution of knowledge in written form and the global communication with nearly the speed of light is a special ability. The human race is also the only known species capable of space travel.
I actually liked the first seosan of Human Target, and it got better and better as the seosan progressed. That's the natural progression of a new series at least it was in the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s. The first seosan is always rough as the characters, and their writers, find their footing. The second seosan is always better in a good series. I also couldn't believe that Mark Valley from the brilliant show, Boston Legal (as attorney Brad Chase) was an action hero, but he played Christopher Chance brilliantly. That was perfect casting.But then around the turn of the century something happened with TV. Now a series was expected to be great in the first seosan, in the first episode or couple of episodes. If it wasn't, it was canned. On top of that, Human Target only had 12 episodes in Season 1, and 13 in Season 2 much like many other shows these days. A series is supposed to have 26 episodes per seosan, which gives them a chance in Season 1 to get the characters right. I don't know who decided these two huge changes. But they are both doomed to fail.So, instead of tossing the show, the producers of Human Target decide in the second seosan to add characters. As I said, it takes one seosan (26 episodes) for the characters to behave appropriately. So any new characters in the second seosan are going to suck for that seosan. So the show was of course going to tank and be canceled.On top of that, the main extra character added was Ilsa Pucci (played by Indira Varma). In fact, she was raised to be the second top character, after Chance. But the character was awful. I mean, I really hated her, and she wasn't a bad guy that you're suppose to hate. From the character background, it made no sense to put this woman into missions and harm's way. And she had zero chemistry with Chance/Valley. And I hated Indira Varma's portrayal, though it's always hard to separate the character from the actor, writing and direction. Pucci was badly written, badly directed, and badly acted. I'm sorry to say but even thinking about the character as I write this makes me want to kill myself. I hate her that much.Adding the Ames character (played by Janet Montgomery) was actually a good move. I like her, and as her character gets fleshed out, I think she will work well for the show. Jackie Earle Haley (as Guerrero) has great chemistry with her. If you remove the Pucci character, put Winston back in charge (sort of), and continue with the other three main characters, then the show could be great. It's a nice reprieve from all the cop and forensic shows. And it's got fantastic suspense and drama. Please bring it back (but without Varma).
Social
The social behavior on Mars will be subject to conditions that are different from those on Earth. The following issues should be considered:
- The human brain needs frequent access to information. Experiments have revealed heavy psychological consequences after a period of information deprivation.
- A group of male individuals tend to be more aggressive than a mixed group of males and females.
- Humans are social creatures, and long periods of isolation can be detrimental to health. In addition to fellow colonists, animals kept as pets can provide some level of social interaction. Pixel is a cat that has been adopted by the crews of the Mars Desert Research Station.

Revelation is the only game soundtrack I don't have. I loekod for that little bugger for months and I couldn't find it anywhere. I gave it up as a lost cause a while ago, although I still keep an eye out for it every time I'm on Ebay.-But I mostly want the soundtrack because I just love Revelation's main theme now THAT'S epic . Then as far as which are my favorites it goes: Exile, Myst, Riven, Uru, End of Ages.
