I've been real curious about this and wonder if there is some elite and/or awesome PC bangs somewhere.....ya see, my pc is in america will be shipped soon.....so I've been visiting all sorts of pc bangs for the past few weeks.

They've interested me to say the least....some are like dive bars, some are really swank....one even had a restaurant inside of it.

I've seen pics of swanky PC cafes with mist machines, disco lights, and miniskirt waitresses.

Have you been able to register for games? I've been trying to register with my Alien Registration ID but the damn thing keeps rejecting me.

I want to play Counterstrike damnit!!!

I will get my arc soon, but I've heard others have registered.....try looking online for a guide...try mmosite.com and ask them about it.

A lot of game sites will let you register manually. You should contact the office and they can give you a phone # where you can fax a copy of your ID.

Get a Korean friend to do it or give up. I have an ID for Nexon (CS: Online) and SuddenAttack, but they were made by a friend of mine or lent to me. Foreigners can't subscribe to these services with their own ARC cards.

You can play as much Starcraft as you want, though.

Out of the 20 or so internet cafes that I've been to in the Gangdong/Dunchondong/Gildong/Cheonho area, the one named Tres Belles between Cheonho and Gangdong stations is the nicest, but definitely not worth a special trip if you don't live in that neighborhood.

Amazing Park on the 4th floor of the building next to the Nabi Funny Town Shopping Mall on Rodeo Street is pretty nice. Huge, good screens, good seating, good ventilation, but terrible food and most of the menu seems unavailable.

OP, look for signs or banners saying upgrade, or places that look like they've just opened (flowers out the front etc.) A lot of them have massive screens, great seating, and HDs full of movies.

I've only been to one and it was in Ilsan. $5 an hour and you got your own private booth. Porn posters all over the inside of the booth and a box of tissues. You could also rent waht looked like one of those pocket pussys.

I cant think of anything less sanitary with less actual benefit. If you're gonna be sharing holes with other men--- make it a live one. At least you can say you got herpes from a PERSON.

Could you imagine walking into the doctor and trying to explain how you got genital warts from using the communal faux-vaginal cavity?
