What is the DEAL with those guys?
-
Mother Nature getting revenge.
It does suck, though... expect many deaths. These guys tend to ravage a lot.
-
19 so far!
Thousands, millions of dollars in damage. But if they can keep the deaths under 1000, that'd be miraculous.
-
It's tragic. Wonder if we'll have some kind of tsunami-proofing in the near future...
-
I suspect it has something to do with water, and the moon. Probably the moon.
-
****ing moon!
-
88k missing, is the last number I've heard. Don't know how accurate is that.
-
Yeah, it's bad. Hopefully they get that nuclear plant situation under control soon, or it could get a whole lot worse.
On the lighter side, Suntory have announced that their vending machines (which dispense beer and cigarettes) have an opening handle hidden under a label for situations like these.
-
Great. Now the survivors can get liver decease and cancer as well.
-
Yeah, I'm sure my refusal to watch anything other than cartoons is biting me in the *** right now.
-
Judging from the very confusingly-written article that I read over my lunch break today, it would seem that many hundred are now confirmed deaths. Hopefully no one here was caught up in the mess. :(
-
So yeah, That place is pretty much soaked now and A nuclear power plant needs electricity in order to prevent a meltdown.
And last time I heard anything there were abnormalities around Hawaii
-
1600 deaths
1 exploded reactor.
WE MAY HAVE CAUSE FOR CONCERN.
-
There was a fellow on BBC News talking about the plant this morning. Since the core is undamaged, the venting of Radioactive Death Gases may have been a conscious decision because there's nobody around and the material is very short-lived. They're now thinking of flooding the plant with seawater and boric acid, which will cool everything down and kill all the nuclear processes. If they do that, the plant will never work again, but it may be the only option they have.
It should be alright anyway.

I saw this movie yesterday
Pretty much how I feel about this whole thread.
-
Is it bad of me that the first thing that came to my head when I heard about the death count in japan was "I hope no mangaka/developer I know died"?
-
...I had some similar thoughts. We're both horrible people.
-
Don't worry, Nintendo of Japan have assured us that everyone and their building are okay.
-
I just hope there isn't a "charity" organization that goes around collecting money like the one for Haiti. I was watching a video where an American went to the country to see how the reconstruction was going and all of the people there were living in tents and complaining because no progress had been made...so there's a good chance that a lot of those donations were used to line pockets. Somehow, I don't think that's as likely here as the tsunami and earthquakes only devastated part of Japan, and Japan is doing pretty well for itself financially.
-
Not a religious man, but I can't help but say a prayer for people caught up in disasters like this. If only 'cuz 'best of luck' just doesn't feel appropriate.
-
Yeah, so about this exploded reactor. Journals here say there is the possibility of radiation. I thought radiation was a given if a reactor exploded?
-
Apparently, some radiation has leaked but its 'non-harmful' amounts. I'm not sure how radiation goes, but I assumed any radiation was bad. Thankfully, though, they've evacuated people within 10 kilometers of the malfunctioning plants.
From what I gathered from an article, they're praying on a last line of defense containment dome. They didn't seem confident on whether its "containment" capabilities were compromised during the quakes, tho.
-
But I assumed any radiation was bad.
Well we're exposed to radiation every single day, so if that was true we'd probably all be dead by now.

Atleast all of the good modern RPGs are western and in no danger atm.
-
Can't remember but I'm pretty sure that Japan and some US state as the places most equipped to deal with nature disasters like these. So they will do just fine as long as that reactor is taken care of.

Read up on it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation), and see how many ways you're wrong.
-
I know we get natural radiation from the sun and other places. What I mean is it feels like an odd thing to say "some radiation leaked out of the nuclear power plant, but its not harmful."
-
Think of it with something else that can be dangerous with the right conditions. "The volcano began spewing forth smoke and gases, but not enough to pose immediate health risks to the surrounding area." How's that for an example? Although, in fairness, an active volcano typically has something more worrisome involved.

Occasionally.
Living next to one ain't so bad, though.
Although, if St. Helens DOES blow again, I think I'd be thoroughly freaked.
Yes, I live right next to Mount St. Helens.
ED: I promised myself that I was going to ignore this, but I just can't anymore.

Seriously dude?
Just...**** you, you insensitive douche lord.
-
It was a joke to lighten the mood on horrible situation, but yeah I guess it was too much. Sorry anyone that was offended no harm intended.
-
Yeah, the majority of Japanese game developers have posted in various places that everyone is fine, and sent their heartfelt condolences to the families affected.
Hideo Kojima had this to say. (http://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/46119119958966272#)

That's surprisingly consise of him.
