stumbled across this in my bookmarks and I don't think we ever had a clock crew topic about it. so just in case any of you've never seen it

I guess this is some kind of tour thing?

makes me want to go on an adventure, or draw/write about people going on an adventure, or play half-life.

Man, everything about Japan is epic, even their shit pipes.

It reminds me of that passage from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, where a character talks about the London sewer system:

Quote from: NeverwhereThen Mr. Croup held his lamp up high, and he stared out at the place in which they stood.

"It is saddening to reflect," said Mr. Croup, "that there are folk walking the streets above who will never know the beauty of these sewers, Mister Vandemar. These red-brick cathedrals beneath their feet."

"Craftsmanship," agreed Mr. Vandemar.

They turned their backs on the brown water and made their way back into the tunnels.

"With cities, as with people, Mister Vandemar," said Mr. Croup, fastidiously, "the condition of the bowels is all-important."

That's pretty crazy, especially in comparison to some other sewers. This one clip from Dirty Jobs (http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/dirty-jobs-sewer-inspector.html) is what I'm thinking of.

You'll fight all of them, but because it's japan you'll have to spend 20 hours grinding before you get the next set of enemies.

Once you kill enough ninjas and kaiju you fight the rats and cockroaches again but now they're tinted blue

Exploring stuff like this is a blast. I've gone through some of the tunnel systems around my home town and in Houston. I highly recommend bringing a spear if you explore this type of thing in Texas, there exist snapping turtles that weigh over fifty pounds and show not fear but blind ferocity. I encounter one about every six hours, which is about every other time, and if one is encountered in an area where you can only crouch then they can catch and overpower you easily.

I am totally serious. I just found an example.

[u2]rIeL0g8GpXM[/u2]

These will kill you, if you see one you need to leave fast because you cannot defend yourself with any weapon.

[u2]Z1BbqH4OL5k[/u2]

Nine times out of ten it's one of these. These will chase you sometimes, but they can be fought off and generally you shouldn't need to worry about them.

This one time there was more than one of the latter type, and I guess I got close to their eggs or something because they just kept coming at me no matter what. They were like little ankle biting zombies. They never stopped hissing. I'd never seen another one so dedicated to pursuit since.

I have never seen a sewer gator ever. I've seen snakes, nutria, rats, turtles, spiders, insects, the occasional unidentifiable mammal, but never a gator in a sewer. Nutria are just weird.

Oh, and one time I think I encountered a duck or goose or something that had escaped from hell. I don't really know. I thought it was inanimate until I got some light on it and it shot its head out and started scaring the crap out of me. It was shaped like a duck, but that's where the resemblance stops.

What i love about Turtles in general is that they can grow so fucking old. Didn't Darwin bring one of those large turtles from the Galapagos that's still alive today?


edit: ahh apparently she died 3 years ago, at the age of 176:(

You really have alligator snappers where you live?

I've always wanted to see one of those, we only have regular snappers near where I live, still the stories of lost toes made that an unnerving tire rafting ride.

Yeah, southern US is the place for them, I don't think alligator snappers exist as far up as Illinois.

The regular ones are everywhere though.

I hear in japan they have moeblobs crawling in their sewers. No, not anime girls with giant eyes,  Gigantic grey amorphous blobs covered in hundreds of constantly forming and unforming eyes, mouths, tubes, and chocolate cornets floating around it's surface. Their sheer size fills up the sewer from top to bottom, appearing somewhat like a disgusting plastic subway train. But before you see them, you will hear them screaming the words of their long dead creators
