Damn. First I've heard of em :D~

I wish there would be girls at quakecon walking around as hunter <3

Don't remember whether it was Willits or Hollenshead but someone mistook her for "bandit from Rage" when she was called on stage for cosplay. Learn your shit id.

Technically well made (apart from some of the subtitles), but never goes into depth, rather superfluous. Probably more for people who've never heard of e-sports. Part 4 & 5 were the most interesting (for what it's worth).

By now I've seen several documentaries like this, but can somebody explain what it is exactly about South Korean culture that makes e-sports so big over there? They never really explain.

If you go to video #2 on vice.com, keep an eye on the ad-counter of Adblock.

And a protip for the documentary maker: white text on a white background does not really work. How can you make such a mistake?

about SK:

1) despite being incredibly career minded, they accept gaming rather nicely. It's much more common for boyfriends to play with girlfriends AFAIK, and PC bangs are still huge, whereas in europe PC cafes are done because of the internet.

2) They apply their hardworking habits to games like starcraft, and so they end up the best. If you're the best in something, that's likely to draw in more people. The fact that americans don't get beaten in handegg by europeans is part of the attraction, same thing here.

3) This is very speculative with my poor knowledge, but AFAIK, they are quite shallow, and probably mean. This sounds like a catalyst for playing what your friends play, and trying to become the best out of your group, instead of each person playing their single player / smaller multiplayer games to themselves.

4) Once it happens, it having happened is the biggest reason for it staying that way. What I mean by that is that the biggest reason for any popular activity to remain active is friends getting their friends into it. The same way we can predict that football will still be huge in the next two decades, we can predict that LoL will still have a huge playerbase for the near future. Or gaming will remain huge in SK.

Saw the first two parts. Expected the boring usual thing about without anything new, and obviously it is exactly that. What I didn't like though is that they didn't seem too interested why people play games over other hobbies and careers, and were all too interested in money, fame and cosplay girls.

Pretty mundane really.

HI BRUNS! :)

Yo! You still playin' anything? Need to come on IRC at some point/ install mIRC.

I kinda got bored from playing games... but sometimes I join quakenet just to see if there are some of the cool guys online.

We need to get everyone together to play some warsow/quake again for a day sometime :D
