damn useless ability
Pretty interesting. I like the "What was I thinking, STR, in today's world?" And Mom is a boss.
great, another series to follow that will be really slow.
download the ch.2 in their blog if u can't wait to read it please
Chapter 2 isn't loading/working can't read it, can someone re-upload it please?
Edit
Thanks BAP scans, instant followed after reading this I'm a check out all your works. Usually if I like one thing a group works on then we have the same tastes and I find that I like their other works as well.
forget what I just said, THIS-IS-INTERESTING.
Le't wiat for more for now strong 4 .
seems interesting, follow for now
i was sure that it had more then 1 or 2 post last time i spotted it, was making me crazy.
I don't think it's right to say America is "individualism" and Asia is "collectivism".
The most popular games in Korea is League of Legends, Starcraft 2, and Sudden Attack (fps). None of which are MMORPG.
Sure there are RPG type games in Korea, main one being Maplestory, but that's just 1 game. You should also probably realize Asia is #1 for gaming in general - even "skill-based" games like LoL and Starcraft.
Note that it's not just me generalizing, it's the DSM-V: http://www.dsm5.org/Documents/Internet%20Gaming%20Disorder%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf, which is trying to promote the idea of internet gaming disorder based on "evidence from Asian countries."
You aren't into RPGs or MMORPGs, are ya?
I've seen a lot of plot like these lately
I WISH this was around when I was still in school!
The Gamer was a best challenge webtoon I used to read uptil around chapter 40-ish until it got moved to the official webtoons, and it was first released back in 2012.
If the story got revamped for the better, I'll be expecting a lot from the authors
I don't think so; maybe the initial concept, but this looks like it has a more optimistic take on the whole affair and less of an intropsective look on human nature.
Granted, there's only one chapter, so who knows which way it'll go -3- Maybe Lovecraftian horror, maybe slice of life. Maybe both.
This is kinda like dice:the cube that changes everything~ http://vatoto.com/comic/_/comics/dice-the-cube-that-changes-everything-r9263
Its funny that he is surprised by that v*v
Read the two essays I linked in my post. Korean/Japanese games are intentionally designed to be addicting though various techniques like operant conditioning, variable reward schedules, and the Zeigernik effect. It would be like if you opened a bakery, and laced your products with addictive drugs to keep customers coming back. If you were baking normal cookies, they wouldn't be addictive. Likewise, normal games that follow good design principles are not addictive. No, Pong is not addictive. Pong can engage players in a state of flow, which might seem like addiction. But flow in game design is practically the polar opposite of addiction, because the former is about learning and engagement while the latter is about being promised a reward for doing a boring task. So yes, it is right to blame it on the game, because the game is purposefully trying to make people feel addicted at the cost of having meaningful gameplay.
Recommended reading for you might be Addiction By Design.
Very nice idea. Instant follow) Once as a hardcore LA2 player, still play dota)
If you have an addictive personality you are going to get addicted even on a game as simple as Pong. And MMORPG also lets you socialize with other player it's not just about stats. It's wrong to blame it on the game just because some people have addiction problem. Most of my friends been playing MMORPG for over 10 years and still living a good life with wife and kids.
I like the plot..
I wish I could level up
I really like where this is going, I hope BAP scans decide to stick with it
You mean DICE: The cube that changes everything
