surfy Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I am sat here with memories of the indonesian earthquake/tsunami of a few years ago and am watching some frightening pictures on the news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12709598 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12307698 Doesn't it put things into perspective a bit? In this day and age where we think we own the planet with technology and money, where leaders kill their own people needlessly.. mother nature reminds us who's boss. My thoughts are with those affected. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true! I was watching the news this morning and the speed of that first wave was unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfy Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Looks like some people in the games industry are looking to help :) Japanese games publishers have begun announcing campaigns and donations to support relief efforts following Friday's earthquake disaster. Both Japanese platform holders have donated money to the relief, while other studios such as BlazBlue developer Arc System Works are discussing the possibility of releasing DLC with profits going to relief efforts. CVG can readers make a donation via the British Red Cross here Here's a list of some of the programmes that have been announced by games companies, via Andriasang: Nintendo Donation of 300 million yen. (Notice) Namco Bandai Donation of 100 million yen through parent Bandai Namco Group. The company will also be suspending operations in arcades where power conservation is needed, and will be holding back on events. (Notice) 5pb. 5pb. will slash the price of iOS Memories Off 6 T-Wave from 2,000 to 350 and will donate all sales of the app through March 31. Sony Sony Group (not just the games division) is giving a donation of 300 million yen and 30,000 radios. (Notice). Source: http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/03/14/quake_relief/ Fair play to them. Seems like everyday the news from there gets worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
