It truely pains me that you may have spent more time in your life playing video games than me. .. I guess your just better than me. I mean .. you can even out-forget me.

by the way .. who are you again and how do you know so much about me?

maybe you dont relate to the example, call it a differnce of expiriances, but the point of the post is that koreans in general favor the easy out even when it seems like they are doing something the hard way they are actually in most casses simply doing something the way that every one else has doen it in order to avoid the stress of working out a new way.

hm... well its not a big deal to get excited over convincing you about but some things to point out.

1) there are exceptions to every rule
2) culture and history has alot to do with the current asian pop music. thus korean pop success in asia is bassed on 2 primary factors A) people hate japanese in most asian countries B) koreans are great applying a "formula" for sucess no one can denie that. they are simply not good at thinking outside of the box.

I hope you dont missunderstand. I am not really feeling negative toward korans just focusing on something that i see as negative. I know of a car desighner at hyundai. cool guy. great ideas. things that make you say WOW. but he shows it to his boss and the boss says... "No.. No.. make it look more like a mustang, or Accord, or BMW" Koreans find an idea and stick with it. and they are very good at takeing that idea to its extream posibilities. but they are very bad at teaching, understanding, or accepting though which does not fit in their innitial idea of acceptable.

you know why very few people will think koreans invented the portable MP3? because koreans themselves did not accept the product untill it was a hit in the west.

First you claimed that Koreans cheat more than anyone else, and you were called on that as being a work of fiction.

the point i was making here is that it is accepted. playing with cheats is just part of the game to many of the koreans i have played with. when i get upset or suggest they learn the game the right way they draw blank faces and basicly ask why? Of course after they have learned alot of tactics from some one else they are willing to play normaly. where as most people in the west would rather play normal first then use cheats as a novelty after they have already learned the game.. but thats just my experiance maybe you have forgoten too much.

Then you said no one in Korean invented anything of value recently, I gave an example that you could not deny as impacted our society in a substantial fashion.

I said nothing of the sort. posts are clearly marked by name. my post never mentioned the creations of koreans there are many korean inventions i respect a great deal.

You then proclaimed that it only sold well in Korea after it took off elsewhere, yet the reality was it did not sell well here at first simply because of the economic costs involved.

thats your oppinion.

Ja i used cheats in my younger days too. I remember playing games like Dragon warrior and using the book to get through the hard parts. (note: through the hard parts. not the character selection screen)

OK.. I will give it to you on the games i am only going by my experiance in games like diablo 2 and starcraft two or three years ago. i havent played much of either game since then and MMORGs dont have the same kind of cheats.

but what is the point of this. point out the exception to every thing in order to avoid the over all effect ofwhat I am saying. I have not seen you counter in any way the over all focus of my post or others like it.
