sad story. true story. this is the real effects of a world killing impact. like the one that is going to hit our world (hmm in game i mean :P)

anyhoo the affects of the rock to hitting our world is not going to throw up dust for a year the trees and plants wll not die. all the animals monsters and human form players will still live. the look of the world will change. but this is not real effects that you could expect if a real event changing impact was to take place.

so i ask again. !what has this got to do with real time physics?"

if i'm finished educating you child. then i'm done here.
that would be a good excuse, EXCEPT no one knows how big the meteor will be. You're already saying it will be a mass-extinction event without any proof of such, as mentioned in the urls I provided (which you clearly didn't read) even a small meteorite can have more energy than an atomic bomb, so the coming cataclysm does not have to be caused by a "planet killer" asteroid.

I'm smarter than you, umad?
