My internet persona is as much a part of me as the way I am with people in person. There are many different parts to who I am online, and that matches the many different ways I may be around different people in different situations in person.

There's no way I could be exactly the same in the typed word as I am in person, but I think I provide a decent representation of myself on here and elsewhere.

Whatever happened to the company whose motto was "Do no evil."?

They got more money and power.

Man fuck underwater. Shadows of the Empire for N64 has a part where you can fall in some green murky water and there are some weird star wars ass creatures in there, it freaked me out. That being said, Bioshock 2's underwater stuff was cool.

Oh man, that murky water sequence in SotE. Definitely a creepy moment. Janky and creepy.

However, I can't wait for the Souls games to give us an underwater sequence. That shit will ruin my BP.

With all the emphasis that's placed on rolling/weight mechanics, I'm not entirely sure how they'd go about it. Though even the thought of fighting on ice, seeing creatures swimming in the water below you, terrifies me.

Imagine if you're swimming in the water with a light that can only illuminate a little bit ahead of you? Everything else is just a darkness with flashes of movement right outside your vision. Occasionally, you get flashes of light showing the horrors around you, but all you can do is keep swimming.

Being stuck in the water and confused how to get out in a Sonic game was relatively stressful.

The number counting down to Sonic drowning would start ticking and the music would get more and more alarming as he gasped for more breath until you either got out or watched as Sonic drowned to death.

@pandabear: Well, first off, I'd say don't base this kind of decision off the un-sourced advice of a video game forum. Find some legitimate sources and get your information from there.

Here's an article, written yesterday, that says "yes," it is a "thing."

I'd agree that him doing even further research is good, but that article doesn't address the "thing" he appears to be talking about. He's asking whether it's safe to go to Japan at all, not whether the crisis is still real. Of course it's still a thing. The question is whether it's safe for someone to visit anywhere in the entire country of Japan, and the clear answer is yes. For a short-term visitor that isn't going anywhere near Fukushima, there is little to no threat. It is safe to visit Japan.

Yeah, most likely. My memory of the last readings I read of the radiation levels being put off in Japan were saying there were pretty low, enough to be almost negligible to tourists. You'd probably get more radiation from eating a banana.

Indeed. Well, and most major cities. You can see actual recent radiation readings at the link I attached in my previous reply. Outside of areas right near Fukushima, your exposure won't be much different being in Japan than anywhere else. How long are you planning to go? Don't let something like this keep you from visiting somewhere in the country.
