Mods, please can this be front-paged? It's become a worldwide phenomena. The whole world is at risk.

the whole world is Japan, Taiwan and Philippines? Didn't know this.
Beside, its on the front page of every News Site around the world, is this enough for u?

BTT: My thoughts are with u guys, but good to see that your government reacted fast and reliable.

Nobody that hears about this is going to say "OMG, I have to go check GBAtemp for the latest news on the tsunami!"
chances are good that this will be front-page news at some point,
but I seriously doubt that having there will save any lives.

Mexico, Peru, Hawaii, Indonesia, Philippines, Chile, Taiwan, Japan and a few other countries. That pretty much spans the whole world

didn't know that some countries (and there just some areas in this countries) in the Asian-pacific area are called the whole world.

this was my last sentence off-topic in such a serious thread where people should not fight. just get your informations next time right and don't overreact.

Can we vote to kick Zorua from this thread? You just listed off literally less than 0.0000001% of the world's land mass, and nothing to say of population. Please find something else to do. Go play Wii.

According to twitter ZUN is alright, but scared (aftershocks around his area)

AND THEN HE CHECKED ON HIS ALCOHOL SUPPLY. I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING.

*snipThe way I understand that tweet, he was just stating an observation. The alcohol didn't seem to be the main cause for his concern.

QUOTEI mentally prepared myself and entered the kitchen. The chopping board etc. had fallen, but nothing happened to the pots, glassware or alcohol bottles.

Hawaii has just received an official warning.

EDIT: CNN is saying that it's going to affect 20+ countries.

ZUN is very fond of beer. It could very well be a cause for concern in this particular case.

The earthquake being felt up to 2500Km (up to Beijin) is really amazing to imagine how strong it was for Japanese citizen.

A local hawaiin geophysicist seemed pretty safe about hawaii. He said there was plenty of time to prepare and noted the tsunami warning after last years chile earthquake ending up being nothing.

    The problem with X party blocked X bill that would have prevented X is that yes the bill probably would have worked great, buuuttt they put XYZDCBG in said bill as an attempt to sneak things in that tend to be completely unrelated to the original bills intent.
