Great insight! Yes, Chinese is a written language! As Cantonese and Mandarin and all other Chinese dialects are spoken forms of Chinese. The written language remains the same -slight local variances aside.

In regards to Chinese and Japanese. Early Japanese borrowed heavily from Chinese this was also true of their… Read more

We had one on the old lay out. On the new layout if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you will see an About section. You can click that and it'll tell you who we are =] Read more

Hahaha, I think the Chinese have it worse! Read more

WAH?? Thanks for the note! i'll fix it now >_> new publishing system is fun to play with! Read more

Well it breaks down into Mandarin Chinese or Cantonese Chinese - Think of it as a language family? Read more

Check out my crazy facemask! =]

Because if I didn't play, I couldn't tell you, the reader, definitively if the games suck or not!!

To quote RDCCDX: Digital Pirates of Dark Water - "I do it for the Lol's! For the Lol's.

But seriously, it's part of the job. Read more

Man Owen, I could've told you that Chinese games suck! I mean I play a lot of them >_<!! Read more

We can always go with what it translates to in Chinese! 小宅男 (xiao Zhai Nan)!! Back on point, I was quite surprised that the local Chinese could even pronounce Ko-Ta-Ku! Read more

This is, on so many levels...so Awesome! Read more

I agree, Microsoft could be positioning to make the next Xbox a full entertainment device! That said - if it did shed the game console name, it could tap into the China Market unmolested in the way that consoles have been so far. Looking at the Eedoo system and etc they've all been "multimedia" devices. Sure the Eedoo…

I disagree! I think kotaku's not the right place to argue this but lets say this and move it onto another platform?

I would say - Tian'anmen square was the chance for the Military to prove their humanity and they failed. I mean TANKS man... Tanks. Look at any modern protest - when the tanks show up people run away.… Read more

Well...HBO doesn't really have a presence in China - and if recent events are anything to go by, China will sue them! (apple being sued by Chinese company claiming siri is a clone) Read more

ZZzzz...,man i need to sleep - all I see are those damn Mudkips!

Good question! Well, despite the console market being banned in China; there is a great amount of console players. Well enough to reach the hundred million mark. We have to keep in mind that China is a market of Billion! Much like India it is a country that has 1 Billion plus people! If MS/Sony/Nintendo can reach 100… Read more

I think the reason is that we (good people) care is because we're not the Chinese government? We(I) believe that people deserve to live a life that isn't terrible! I mean sure working at Foxconn's their choice, but that doesn't mean they aren't human and don't deserve to be treated right (Foxconn at one point had… Read more

It's hard to answer this question. I think it has to do with China's socio-economic rise. Like the internet suddenly hit! People who were farmers suddenly had free time. they couldn't adjust? There are a myriad of reasons and I'm sorry, but it takes a smarter mind than I to explain it!

hopefully you'll find some solace in the fact that this time around they didn't die? Early rumor reports only said they jumped - maybe they fell into the nets! Read more

I'm not sure! We tested the download and it worked that's about it. What I can say is that on NEOGAF there has been posters saying that it works fine if you redownload but some also said that microsoft won't let them download it. Who knows? Test your luck! Read more
