You make a very strong and correct point that I mostly agree with. However there are TCM schools in China and actually starting to pop around the world. Sure they're learning how to become real doctors but they're also learning as you put it "imbalances of spiritual energy" and the like. Some of the best doctors in Read more

Well...I don't know much about astrology but I do know that Traditional Chinese Medicine does work. I'm not saying all of it works, I'm saying there is some basis to it. Why else would more and more western doctors come to China to study TCM (not turner classic movies)? Of course there's loads of witchcraft and black Read more

I agree. He hasn't been in the tabloids very much which usually is a good sign. I see him like the Matt Damon of Asia. Shame he spends his time doing commercials instead of movies. I'd like to see him pull a Sly Stallone. Read more

I agree. Gaming is something that is ingrained! Read more

doesn't say if he's done making them but he hasn't been the face of Onimusha since 2003 Read more

Thanks for the tip! My email is actually at the bottom of every one of my posts, you can also send tips to Tips@kotaku.com.

I'm checking out your link right after i'm done with another post. Read more

Yeah, Chinese seals are similar to Japanese and Korean seals. They're usually on wood or stone and carved in. They stamp them on loads of things. To get a visa to China (work/resident) the company sponsoring your visa will need to provide you with a letter with a seal stamp! Read more

seriously. Personally, China's digital rights laws are kind of gray. There was all this talk about transference of digital property for a long while. So far the only one that i know of has to deal with dying. Companies I would think wouldn't be too happy with people selling game accounts to others since that would Read more

the show is 100% called 快乐男声 - which is also a play on the Chinese phonetic sounds of 声,生 both being Sheng but with different tones. The segment which they only used once was a play on the fact that the pretty men couldn't sing. Read more

the next question would be, who's the guy on her left? And the one in the right corner? We know the caterpillar is most likely Gordon Ramsay, does that mean the robot woman is Giada? Read more

are we sure this one isn't Paula Deen? She seems to be holding butter...

If that's the case, then there might be more Chinese elements to MHO. which may or may not be a bad thing. Looking at the videos, gameplay wise it looks very much like 3. Read more

I haven't played Age of Wulin? Yeah the Chinese games are getting better, still mediocre but getting better. On that note the foreign made for China games are looking really really good. Read more

I'd almost agree with you but the fact of the matter is that they're not making all of these games themselves now. Activision is making Call of Duty for China, Capcom is making Monster Hunter for China.

Not to sound like a broken record but Monster Hunter Online CHina looks badass - and it won't be available for Read more

I might have to agree with you =[ but at the same time, my philosophy's always been that games bring people together. Who knows some people might make new friends even with the internet being full of trolls and all? Read more

It was a tongue and cheek attempt at pointing that CHina has some fun games, and if you make a Chinese friend you can try them too. Maybe you could make a Chinese friend and try these games?

I mean, Monster Hunter Online is looking really really really good right now! ONce it's out of Beta I can see loads of people Read more
