Either that or the Japanese consumer has a lot less tolerance with mucking around with hardware/software to get things to work. It’s not a bad thing to expect something to work by just inserting a cartridge or a memory disk instead of having to install a graphics driver, direct x, wine/cedega, etc.

I sometimes feel that the lack of unity of hardware / software specs in the US computer market really punishes the casual computer gaming hobbyist.

Problem with the PC market though is that piracy eats into so much of the profits. It’s why a lot of game development houses prefer consoles or making MMOs. Given that China is just in Japan’s backyard. Their preference to make games on non-PC platforms is understandable.

Korean. Was the reference to K-pop not enough?

I’m working on a related gallery, but alas my knowledge of the J-pop scene is laughably bad. You can always start your own poll on the forums.

I saw that one, but didn’t put it in the article because I thought she was on par with the yellow shirted guy in the first video. There’s a few dozen of those floating around in YouTube; a lot more on sites like Naver and Cyworld.

I just pulled down a fansubbed episode 3 a few hours ago. It’s not my thing really. It’ll probably go into my drop list.

I actually went and looked for it, but sadly Cyworld’s (the original source) search features are atrocious and I wasn’t able to find it.
