Re: moving to south korea!
Eh well it's kind of the other way around. Japanese culture is a bastardisation of mostly chinese but some korean culture as well. Both the Korean's and the Japanese were thieving customs from China around the same time. :) One of the reasons Chinese/Koreans have issues with Japan in this day and age is how their emigrants… -
Re: DJ Game?
this game exists, but as far as i know, nowhere outside of Japanese arcades. but then, just about every sort of weird game you can think of exists in Japanese game centers. a DJ mixing type game, a drumming game with full kit, keyboardist game, so on and so forth... have you ever wanted to experience the thrill of driving… -
Re: GDC 2012
http://www.develop-online.net/news/40061/GDC-Japanese-dev-mocked-your-games-suck Sounds like he just shot his mouth off without thinking about the potential repercussions. Were any of you at this panel? I notice his twitter account has now been made private after he did some more mouthing off against the Japanese industry… -
Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Yes, but the Jedi do NOT dress or act Japanese or live in Japanese homes, have Japanese mannerisms or culture. The ideas were taken and adapted into something different and fairly original and setting-culture appropriate. Yes, we may be caught up on race a little much but... Avatar is set in a VERY ASIAN world. The race of… -
Re: Places to go in San Francisco?
Daz = pwned. Also, while Ghirardelli is known for their chocolate, the reason to go to Ghirardelli Square is for their ice cream. It's pretty good. Two things I like in SF that no one's mentioned are the Metreon and Japantown. The Metreon is actually a bit overrated as the tech-geek haven it claims to be, but it has a… -
Re: VFX production in Japan.. what's wrong?
Sounds like textbook japanese company enviroments, something that drove a lot of my professors and teacher to utter insanity. It also sounds a lot like what the Taka Kawasaki of Epic Japan said in an interview, that even if you work in a job in the gaming industry, that should have a feeling of creativity, spirit and fun… -
Re: ike's doter shenanigans
Agreed with agito. Here's a link to an image gallery of different buddhist outfits. (and ignore the korean/japanese monk outfits) From part four: Anecdotally, I saw predominantly this outfit in my 4 years in Taiwan. Valve's strict rules on accuracy this year is going to be very tough to follow. x.x Especially since google… -
Re: Things that you LOVE in games
Stories that don't underestimate the players intelligence level. Japanese games that include the original japanese audio track with the ability to turn on subtitles. Ambitious gameplay. Even if the game ends up not working well, I appreciate developers that stray from the norm. Also throw me into the Morrowind over… -
Re: [UE4] 2048 Environment
@Kid.in.the.Dark , you're right, I wanted to go for a cyberpunk theme rather than sci-fi, I was using ghost in the shell and photos of Japanese alley ways for reference and I probably leaned too far with the Japanese reference as the alleyways seem to be relatively clean over there! I totally agree on making the buildings… -
Re: A new modeling tool released
Thank you! I appreciate the vote of confidence. I actually was just reminded of another naming issue. As I mentioned, my wife is Japanese. Well, there is a car here in the US that's name actually means "toilet seat" in Japanese. Every time she sees one of those cars, she just starts laughing. So, that's another thing to…
