I never saw the resident evil x-files episode. I think is time for me to mooch off the x-files dvds from a friend.

When I played Diablo II, half the time I read this from other players:

kor-amaz02>me korea
kor-amaz02>korea good country
kor-amaz02>give item
kor-amaz02>you give
kor-amaz02>give
kor-amaz02>give
kor-amaz02>need 10 soj's

the other half I heard insults, bad words, and racism. :(

It was pretty much the same with StarCraft but less Korean stuff. I assume all Blizzard/ Battlenet games are like this unless you play with only a closed group of people you know.

edit: big reason why I quit playing Blizzard games.

Unfortunately that is mostly true (for players around the world that play these games, not just one country) specially in the Diablo series. I do know plenty of people that like to play these games for fun so its never a problem arranging a game.

Gotta love those masochistic 3 player versus 1 super computer matches.

Interesting article. I knew that PC gaming was popular in Korea but I didn't realize it had reached this level.

"Profesional video game player???"... Outrageous, at least from the point of view from wich I play (and perspective that is not shared by the people I known)...

I have always seen videogames not only as fun, but also as self develop; overcoming something that someone put there, something than an engenieer thought off, the feeling of overcoming that, of fullfuling the expectations that the one who created the game thought can really makes my days and usually gets me in the right mood to manage bigger acomplishments... At least that's what I think with strategies/RPG games

yah, interesting article.

it's a tad bit over the top, but pretty true. boys and girls alike play pc games here. to do some math

5 million koreans play computer games(as the article stated)
45 million koreans in korea
1/9th of the population plays computer games
that's 11.11%
factor out old people

unfortunately, i can't find a pc room with warcraft 3 where i'm living now. it's all frickin' starcraft and lineage.

It is strange, but some people manage to make a living playing baseball or other recreational activities so it's not totally unheard of.
