I mean,
A) Vegas is a poor choice for proving your point, considering the massive amounts of blind spots, whether through neglect of private-public partnership or simply just because private organizations want it that way.

B) There are so many huge cities in Asia and, to a lesser degree, Europe, where this works to…

FWIW, Programming jobs in East Asia don’t pay as well as they do in America, at least at the entry level.

A source I just googled up: http://www.worldsalaries.org/computerprogrammer.shtml

The team behind Bravely Default is making -

welp, there goes another $60 from the wallet...

Don’t most of these rules apply in some way, shape or form to most facebook groups where you don’t intend to be ‘that guy’?

As I understand it, WWII is glossed over either intentionally [due to books not going in depth into the nature of the war], or unintentionally [there is a lot of Japanese history to teach and remember. Obviously the modern era comes at the end, and when there is not much time left in the school year, it gets rush…

I mean, I get that the war sucked for those involved, but, Japan had a super-cool policy at that time of invading their neighbors and extinguishing their cultures, and, at times enslaving others.

This paints a picture of the loss of civilian peace and life, but, at some point, I really have to kinda ask how complicit…

Claw machines in Japan are intense and very difficult, since they’re generally, explicitly skill-based. Intense describes a lot of things regarding how I feel about Japan.

Haha, Legit Crane games are crane games that don’t last very long since they don’t make money.

I could be talking completely out of my ass, here, but I’ve done my fair share of American Crane games and won a few, but here’s how I suspect they function and differ:

Both US and Korea:
The claws are programmed to basically…

My previous comment should be taken with a grain of salt. I’m an outsider looking in, and I haven’t had a childhood in Korea to know what children’s toys are popular in the past.

I doubt it, these claw-games are extremely decentralized and I imagine they’re difficult to regulate, not unlike trying to regulate vending machines in the states. That said, it’s quite interesting to see how weirdly popular these claw-machine games have been getting in Korea, and the government *is* trying to take…

I can’t say with 100% certainty, but I’m pretty sure there was a full or partial ban on Japanese imports to Korea until about 2004, which would put a huge damper on the Pokemon Craze in the country.

Furthermore, at this time, Korea used Broadband broadband as one means to jumpstart its economy after the 1997 Asian…

I’m an American, living in Korea long-term~

I’m sure they’re trying to stop fake imports, but at the ground level, I’m wondering about the rate of success.

I’m living in Korea, I love Pokemon, and I’m addicted to these claw games [and not THAT terrible at them!]

I’d estimate like 20-50% of the prizes could be fake, and there’s definitely a strong incentive for…

To be fair, there are some games that fit a weird niche of I sunk a lot of hours into this but I wouldn’t really recommend it, or it’s a poor value:

The Newest Star Wars Battlefront game was beautiful and fun, but you basically played through the entire multiplayer within the first 20 hours, and after that, the game…

The technical end to the game is the destruction of every building a player has, which can be time consuming for a victorious player to track down each building throughout the map and destroy. As such, it’s courtesy to call the game when it’s understood to be a foregone conclusion, as opposed to wasting everyone’s…

You see censorship. I see consequences. No one’s physically stopping him from doing whatever and no one is actually implicitly restricting him, either. However, actions have consequences and when kids become adults, they should learn this.

Google maps doesn’t really work in Korea. Test it out by trying to route from one city to a different one in the country.

I’d assert that pushing an agenda shouldn’t inherently have much effect on the creativity, the quality or the effect of an artistic work.

An easy example is the Harry Potter series which REALLY pushes hard a narrative for interracial tolerance. Younger me cringed super-hard every time Hermione supported S.P.E.W. Older…

Rents are presumably super low.

That said, good luck getting insured.
