For those of you interested in designing your own video game this Summer, Stencyl is an option you might want to try.  I haven't used it myself, but it sounds like a very powerful tool, if you're willing to spend the time to get to know it.

"Good lighting in the black sky" is what you get when you use Google translate and pass "God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all" through 20 random languages and then back to English using Translation Telephone.

Sorry.... kinda. :)
