I have never once heard anyone ever say "Snake defeated that boss". Not once. Not Ever.

Would you expect to hear "Cloud attacked the undead Zombie, but that didn't do much, then when Tifa gave it a Phoenix Down it died"
or
"I attacked the undead Zombie, but that didn't do much, then when Tifa gave it a Phoenix Down it died"

I would expect the first example to be the more common, despite Cloud being the primary protagonist, and your avatar for the non combat parts of the game.

Although I guess more people would say "I used Cloud to attack the undead Zombie, but that didn't do much, then when I used Tifa to give it a Phoenix Down it died"

Maybe people are thinking "I used Snake to defeat that boss", but as using Snake is required, then there is no need to say it?

Samurai-Sword Maker May Cool Nuclear Revival 317

NobleSavage sends a story from Bloomberg about Japan Steel Works Ltd., a company that still makes Samurai swords, and how it may control the fate of the global nuclear-energy renaissance. "There stands the only plant in the world, a survivor of Allied bombing in World War II, capable of producing the central part of a nuclear reactor's containment vessel in a single piece, reducing the risk of a radiation leak. Utilities that won't need the equipment for years are making $100 million down payments now on components Japan Steel makes from 600-ton ingots. Each year the Tokyo-based company can turn out just four of the steel forgings that contain the radioactivity in a nuclear reactor. Even after it doubles capacity in the next two years, there won't be enough production to meet building plans."
