SyK commented on New Halo Game For E3 (Master Chief Not Included)

"After this: [kotaku.com] ??? In the proud tradition of Streetfighter: The Movie... Halo: The Board Game: The Game! They need something to compete with the unending torrent of Wii party garbage after all, and with a Halo logo on the front cover?"

SyK commented on Is It A Girl Or A Boy? It Is......

"Congratulations! I had the same issue a few years ago but didn't end up needing it, so you're more than welcome to them if you like. English-language friendliness tested on very outback Aussie great-grandparents, so they should be pretty usable! After much thought came up with Jin as a favourite, and Keisuke ("K") and Ryo___ in its many forms were all close. Though I do like Clarke's "Light/Raito" idea, but you or at least the kid eventually would need to be a pretty massive Deathnote fan."

SyK commented on Zhengtu Tearing Up the Chinese Market

"Just an interesting aside but as an Aussie who's been in China for around a year now, felt I should point out the "girls in the game" thing seems to be a huge deal over here, probably more than it even sounds. Pretty much all of the younger guys I know who I've seen playing MMOs do it ENTIRELY for the hope of picking up girls there and despite being very much hardcore MMO people (Playing the ridiculous 50,60, even 80 hour weeks you hear WOW players doing) will pretty regularly jump ship from everything from an RPG to an online Mario Kart rip, to a DDR clone, based entirely on 'where all the girls are these days'. The only real exception seems to be Warcraft, there are people who really play it as in the US/AU, but anything domestic and it seems to be a big factor. Savvy business though it may be, it's still pretty amusing to see them come right out and admit it like that though!"
