In Korea, most of the Koreans play MMORPGS in PC Bangs (cyber cafes), not in
their own homes.

In the olden days, before computers were cheap toys, those
kids discovered the ultimate game, the monitor (our name
for the core-resident piece of our operating system.
Most of these kids never graduated, let alone get grades .

It is always somebody else's fault but the lawyers in the EQ related case
both stated

"EverQuest was merely the preoccupation of the moment for Bragg, Littman
added, saying it could have just have easily been televised football or any
other occupation of men in their twenties, instead. "Bragg is sadly typical
of many young people today," said Littman. "He had children before he was
ready to take care of them."

It is about time that we recognise that a "loser is a loser" be him American
or Thai or Purple or white!

Purple? If you're purple, you need to consult a doctor right away, because
being a loser may be the least of your worries.

Depends on location and time of years.

University engineering frosh round here always seem to be dying
themselves purple the first few weeks of the school year.
