If you're in Seoul you might be able to find a game room with XBox 360s and kick-ass screens:D Comfy chairs and cheap snacks too! Got me some Gears of War that way.

This time I bought my own shit though. ohmanohmanohman!

Those rooms are the dirtiest, smelliest rooms because people don't wash their hands and if there is a couch, Koreans do the nasty. I dare you to bring a blacklight into one. If you do bring a barf bag too.

Well, the place I played in--while it wouldn't have won any cleaning awards--was far from that nasty. I think you're probably thinking about DVD rooms. This was one big open place with a whole bunch of plasma screens and what-not.

As for the memory card, yup. That'd be it! The only problem is that the games and the systems are all in Korean. Also, Korean H3 is actually IN Korean. I found that out yesterday:p The menus aren't and there are subtitles for cut-scenes, but in game footage (as in battle chatter) are all in Korean. Kind of fitting for the aliens but I really wish I knew what directions I was being given from Sarge and what's-her-face...

Yeahhhh, you're thinking of the DVD rooms. The Game rooms are actually really clean, and the Xbox 360 rooms I've seen are pretty damned posh actually. Thanks for reminding me of those places, btw, completely forgot they existed. I think I will buy my own copy of Halo 3 and a mem card, and get started.

Yeah, that's why I'm going to hit up Yongsan. Also, I think the game actually is in English, but you may need to change the menu settings.

Nope, no English is spoken in the Korean version. English writing, no English speaking. The amount of space the audio files take up would be too great to include different languages for the spoken parts on a single DVD.

MC sounds funny in Korean:(
