I'm not sure why this requires elaboration. Saenuri, the president's party, is the ruling party in Korea. KBS is a de facto state broadcast apparatus. While it has autonomy in the form of "independent" management, executives are selected by political parties, and it receives a lot of its revenue in the form of…

My hope is that EQNext will have the same sort of F2P as EQ2 currently does. Basically, the F2P is a game with fewer features, but limitless in duration, unlike a 2-week trial or whatever. If you want "it all," you can pay $15 a month. Alternately, you can purchase features a la carte.

It's consciously drawing on old-fashioned Korean pop, so I think the song's appeal has a lot to do with that.

Leftist? Communist? You understand that the conservative party controls the Korean government, right?

The current government is even more conservative than the last one. That alone is probably enough to explain it. The conservatives are obsessed with this notion that the youth are being corrupted by pop music. It's not a bannable offense to put English phrases in songs, but it's definitely something that they rant…

Ever wonder if maybe it's revealing in a subtle way about the "just for show" element of religion itself (and hey, no offense, but particularly of Catholicism)? I mean, there's a reason why, just to use your example, nobody's faking Jewish weddings. One cannot help but notice the ostentatiousness of Catholicism…

Buying and enjoying Goat Simulator is like buying fake vomit and using it to gross yourself out. Just the stupidest, most inane thing ever.

The only reason why I don't think Instagram and WhatsApp are good examples of Facebook's intentions is because those products are already in the same wheelhouse as Facebook. Facebook and Instagram, for example, are mutually beneficial in terms of driving traffic from one to the other. That was a no-brainer, and…

I don't think anybody disputes that more funding for a good project is nice. But the reality is that funding doesn't just drop out of the sky. It comes with a price. Right now, Oculus VR appears to have a promise and a handshake that Facebook won't be steering the development of Rift in a different direction. I'm not…

... if they get to keep going as they were, without the heavy hand of Facebook bending production toward certain narrow ends. That's a big if, considering that we're talking about Facebook here. It is a public company, and they've routinely tweaked their core product to suit the ends of monetizing the user base in…

Nope, that's her name. She's also known as Claudia Kim.

You shoot on-site and add visual effects in post.

The previous post about it was more than 2 weeks ago.

No, he was trying to bash Oculus by saying that King.com, a shitty mobile gaming company, is worth 3x more than Oculus. And what I'm saying is that you can't make a direct comparison.

This is precisely it. Everybody wants their own personal nostalgia kick to be included on lists like this, and if it's not, they'll pick on the most recently released list item just to spite it. Ni No Kuni is an excellent RPG in general, a top-notch JRPG, and perhaps the best-produced entry in the subgenre since…

It has nothing to do with "how people value" one or the other. Oculus VR sold privately to Facebook. King.com went public. Apples and oranges.

Uh, yeah. So it kind of makes for a bad comparison, no?

First off, I'm not sure why you're trying to compare Oculus and King.com. To bait VR fanboys, I guess?

I think he has good, solid reasoning behind his point of view. Facebook's motives in the acquisition aren't yet clear, and the company itself has a shifty set of "morals." Who can say now that Facebook isn't going to try to make ads an inextricable part of the Oculus Rift experience? After all, Facebook's core…

Personally, I think this acquisition by Facebook looks really bad. It just doesn't bode well for Oculus Rift, in terms of future applications and whatnot.
