2: Too blurry to see in some cases.
3: Yes it looks more lively, but this is Blockland, not real life.

Torque Game Engine Advanced has Bloom, I like to abuse it and make my eyes bleed. Blockland will never have bloom so get over it.

Heres a bloom shot thing.

Bloom doesn't even happen in real life unless you put objects close to light or in a lot of light. For instance, take a pencil and your desk lamp. Turn the lamp on, and put the pencil under it. Now look at the pencil, you can see a little bit of the pencil's color shining off of it, which is REAL LIFE BLOOM. It DOESN'T happen every minute and in the smallest amounts of light. Many games abuse this (COUGHvalveCOUGHhalo3COUGH).

I don't think we need bloom in Blockland.

They don't use it to make it realistic, they do the opposite.
