I'd love to read your speech on the subject. Read more

I had the same arguments crying in my head but I wanted to give the kids the benefit of the doubt =[.

how good was their rugby team? Read more

I can totally believe it!

My bad - typo on his last name! Read more

I agree! We have no real obligation to be responsible for our fellow man, but the world works better when we do!.

The take away shouldn't be that Chinese people are idiots, the take away should be China likes to blame unrelated things on video games and the west. Much like what we do in the west just on a bigger scale.… Read more

as in food in China, or Chinese food in general? Cause Chinese food be bangin'. Food safety in China is another issue. Read more

is that how much it costs?? You can probably save that money in a few years not eating out or something =] better than suffering from possible renel failure and having to spend 100000 or so for dialysis . Read more

his full speech is oddly poetic! It's a shame that I don't have a higher understanding of classical chinese prose (he's not using classical btw). That way I'd be better able to translate this. Lots of Chinese poems can't be translated into English. Like take "Tao Hua Yuan", it can be translated but about 60% of it's… Read more

hmm! I have not heard of it. The last time I was in a Chinese university it was to teach a course on journalism and english writing to a class at Beijing Foreign Studies University. The last time I was in a Chinese University as a student was just 2009 but I was too busy doing number than attempting number 2 =[.

But if… Read more

yeah, the Chinese version has things made just for the Chinese market, tencent's got loads of money and time to mess around. I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll do to Monster Hunter this month, Read more

hahaaha. I'm not sure if two is officially available in China yet, but you do have a point! Read more

well they get a whole lotta shit for not being good. I personally only see an issue with people getting in. The whole system is screwed up. The fine folks at Tealeafnation, they just got a grant from the US govt, has a great break down on it. Read more

That was a pretty cool game. Read more

this convo confuses me? where do you see underarm hair? Read more

Individual's getting caught is actually near non-existent. They tend to block off servers and service providers. There really isn't a provision within the laws and regulations to stop people from using them even though they're "illegal". Funny thing is - VPNServices operating outside of China are illegal; what does… Read more

let's promote this comment! (I'm so probably not supposed to =] but I agree with you).

You know, you have a Kinja blog for yourself with our new Kinja system. You can write a totally awesome blog post about Kotor 3. Who knows, it might be insanely popular! Read more

Olal is right! the kid took 6700 rmb! when i first got to china that was 1k now it's about 1115 USD. =[ Read more

My buddy used to work at the Godiva shop on 5th ave in NYC and he used tell me stories about young girls dropping down American Express Black Cards (pre-financial crisis) but yeah, I'd think i'd check with the parents first too Read more

not sure, Chinese have been watching and consuming manga/anime for years. You find any 20-30 year-old and they can most likely talk you about Sailor moon, Detective Conan, and Slam Dunk (of course gundam and dragonball.) Read more

i hope so. but so far, it's been 2 weeks into it now and people are getting pissed because it's so slow and apparently the quality is bad. Read more

I think it's brilliant that they threw that line in there, like a slight to the government. I haven't read the Chinese version but so far the biggest anger is the change in the title and the censorship of violence. Read more
