This could've been an interesting thread if the stuff you typed made any sense at all. o_O

Seriously. Is Sega supposed to represent the radiation? What?
how much easier could it be? sega represents a bomb launching facility, the Bad sonic games are the bombs (do not ask about the good ones) the lands that are tested on are the comsumers and fans, and the fallout is the end result. i will be slamming my head against a desk out of stress until further notice.
Chernobyl wasn't a bomb launching facility?
Far be it from me to understand why, but this is the funniest thing I've read all day.

Yes after chernobyl plants did begin to cope with so much fallout that even Sega could not compete after the bad sonic games. The link to the article is here on BBC:

what has this got to do with sega?
Its a metaphor
No I don't think it is.
Its a comparison (of plants and sega) that does not use the words "like" or "as"
Yes that is exactally it. Thank you for finally getting it.
I change what my jokes actually mean because someone agrees with me! Or explained it a completely different way than a bomb launching facility!

If you change it to "they took more fallout than Sega after the release of ", then it makes perfect sense to anyone that hasn't recently suffered from head trauma.

Instead of hair you get a headfull of leaves. You also get rooted to the ground and can't move. OH YEAH you also get eaten alive by catepillars.

The article is misleading. The power plant did not "Exlplode" it had a meltdown. If the Uranium had gone critical the situation would have been FAR worse.
Technically, it was a "steam explosion event" not a meltdown. So, it WAS an explosion, just not a nuclear explosion. A meltdown is a bit different; 3 Mile Island was a lot closer to a meltdown event, but was successfully stopped in time.

Enough. He's saying that recent Sonic games bombed, and the fan base gave them (Sega) lots of fallout. It was a badly mangled, not very funny to begin with joke.

With that out of the way, this is pretty cool, I'd love to see what long term affects these mutations have to do on the plants. This is probably a once in a lifetime study.

Oh really, then you should know that one of the generators malfunctioned and caused an explosion to happen.
The disaster was no where near as bad as it could have been. Yes there was an explosion that caused a breach of containment, but how in the world do you figure that was nuclear? Because it happened in a nuclear power plant? No it was gases that built up that caused the explosion, not nuclear.

It does not matter if I messed up the term....the point is that it is more clear on what my statement was about sega and not about bombs. you get what I ment about sega and fallout now leave it alone please.
It does matter that you messed up the term. It matters because this is why you are getting so stressed out through out the thread that nobody seems to be fully understanding your points. How can they when you are using terms in ways nobody else does?
You win britannica, this metaphor arguemnt was dead a long time ago anyways. Sure I will try better to use proper terms. But as I said, I don't care about what I typed, I just care that I made the metaphor a little more clear. Please just leave it alone because I understand.
If you don't care about what you typed then you shouldn't have typed it in the first place.
Now your just trying to argue for the sake of arguing, he's conceded defeat on the issue so drop it.

You could stand to pay more attention to English 101, and learn more about Similes, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simile] and Metaphors. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphor]

On topic, that's impressive. Glad to see that no matter how toxic our weapons, energy production, et al get, planet earth will come back. :) Slowly, but surely.

No, its where we were experimenting with nuclear powered sex-toys. Caused the workers to get, uh... "distracted" causing the gas buildup and eventual meltdown.

Nitpicking alert! If the reactor had not been critical in the first place, nothing interesting would've happened. A reaction is called critical when it is merely self-sustaining, not when it's world-ending. The explosion in Chernobyl was gas that was flash-heated by the uncontrolled reaction. It wasn't even a full-"blown" meltdown, the slag from the reaction chamber didn't get far enough to flash anything else before it stopped/was stopped.

Oh, and plants always come back. Also, roaches. And some microorganisms don't even care.

A joke isn't funny if you have to explain it. Just a heads up for future reference.

He's already stated that he got it wrong, but still his topic still stands, unlike Chernobyl.

We need to get some serious plants in that area, like Venus Fly Traps, then see what happens!


Also I loved the picture from the article, were they have to wear gloves and "protective goggles", I immediately thought of this;
MY EYES! THE GOGGLES THEY DO NOTHING!

The power to grow any one of your cells to vast proportions. Use it wisely.
Just one? Harsh...

Anyway, we need more OPs like this one. Because I am sick and fucking tired of knowing what the hell the thread is about. Where's the mystery in that?

But on one hand you could have made the greatest freaking drink to all 21+ yearolds around (I really don't like underage drinking)or you could have essentially made a bottle full of liquid cancer.
