Hope your back on your feet soon, Japan. Kudos to everyone representing this thing. That's just awesome.

Considering I'm a Gamer that had the good fortune to be based in Japan for 3 years, this massive out-pouring of Love and Support from the Titans of the Gaming Industry and G4 among others means the world. I've donated to the Red Cross effort, but not being able to be there, on the ground, giving these awesome/amazing people a helping hand in the ravaged Northern Areas leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. So, to feel like the entire gaming community (to which I am a part) is rallying it just so Full of Win.
