    Default Propaganda or not, this is still pretty serious.

    Makes me wish I still lived in the midwest.
    I vote that we nuke the ocean. It's becoming somewhat of a terrorist.

    But seriously, thoughts? Any of you smartypants out there want to tell us if this is true or not?

    The Mega Drive was far inferior to the NES in terms of diffusion rate and sales in the Japanese market, though there were ardent Sega users. But in the US and Europe, we knew Sega could challenge Nintendo. We aimed at dominating those markets, hiring experienced staff for our overseas department in Japan, and revitalising Sega of America and the ailing Virgin group in Europe.

    Then we set about developing killer games.

    Well shit.
    I just noticed the site was called disinformation.
    That just goes to show how important it is to pay attention to where you get info.

    I'm still taking it seriously, KKO. Lol. If what they say is true, that means we'd be amongs the first to go. Which begs the question: How in the world does one prepare for something like that?

    Lol. Indeed. But I've actually been keeping-up with the issue with other sources as well. An "End of Day's" scenario like the one portrayed in that News Article KKO provided is not exactly what I'm afraid of, though. I doubt very much that the effects will even reach the states above the panhandle. But as I live in Miami (recently moved from Miami Beach), the fact is that there is much concern over this in this area. Well, at least in my circles, that is.
