Earthquake in Japan

Specific assessments of casualties and damage were not immediately available in Hokkaido, where the earthquake struck 36 miles under the seabed at 4:50 a.m. Friday (4:50 p.m. ET Thursday). But NBC News producer Arata Yamamoto reported from Tokyo that there was widespread damage to buildings in Hokkaido, while NHK television showed video of a fire at an oil refinery.

Is this earthquake HL2 related?

*aliens don't want Gabe to show them latest HL2 footage *

 

[Typhon]

^^yes

 

[Dedalus]

HAHAHA this is just TOO ironic. Whatever I don't have 1/2 the interest I had originally, its just fun to make fun of Valve.

Affirmative.... but isn't Valve showing HL2 off in Tokyo, which is even further south?

Earth Quake aside, Halflife 2 is still going to be displayed right?

Maybe it's God's wrath against Valve.

 

[Guest]

its just the displacment mapping from half life 2.

 

[_-_-SELAS-_-_]

Wrong forum indeed, luckily it wont interfear with the show featuring HL², although nothing new will prolly be shown...

 

[Prince of China]

This Earthquake does have something to do with Half-Life 2 since Half-life 2 will be shown in Japan.

Gabe's plane must have landed today eh? :cheese:

You do know that Hokkaido is on the NORTH Island of Japan, and Tokyo is on the SOUTH Island. The TGS2003 will still go on.

 

[Headwires]

who cares, it'll be the same stuff we seen before anyway :/
