LoboBlanco: Well I encounter loads of mind wasted denizens when I play multiplayer games, although, I wouldn´t blame consoles for that.
Heh yeah... China... is different though.

tinyE: I had a chance to visit Beijing once. Weird place. They put the airport right in the middle of Chinatown.
Forget about it.

Good to know, I'll keep that in mind if I ever time travel back in time and end up in China! That's probably not going to happen but if it does... I'll Be Prepared(TM)

In China "Chinatown" is a strip club.

Also, consoles have been legal here long enough for there to be entire shops dedicated to them. Even when I was here 3 years ago it was hardly difficult to find consoles. It's just that you wouldn't see any by Nintendo, Sony or MS. But I did see a fair number of generic boxes floating around.

Not that it's terribly important, none of the students here have time for games even if they do have the money for a console, so most of the gaming here is either PC or phone based.

OT
In Vietnam there is actually a bar called 'Apocalypse Now'.

Tell me that country doesn't have a sense of humor. :P

What about Arcade games? Those are still huge in the PRC, right? Nice to see something (sigh) oldschool, like humans interacting with each other in person! :P

I guess nowadays it's easier to find consoles in China, right? Not that they're huge, but it's easier to buy them, so I've heard.

tinyE: No shit dude! They invented fire crackers! 4th of July in Ancient China must have been so bad ass!
That made me crack up at work. Just thought you deserved to know. Makes me remember a story about an American tourist being shocked that we don't celebrate the 4th of July.

Firebrand9: Odd, considering bootleg NES's were sold from China during the 80's.

LoboBlanco: Not odd, they were just protecting national production, so the real ones wouldn´t compete ;P
wasn't there an nes clone endorsed by jackie chan?

and the PRC-kickstarted corp is still making knockoffs today.

Saw this on a Guru Larry vid back in the day. I wonder how many original copies exist?

OK, at least the news sighting was confirmed. No one was treated like criminal for playing games, right? Nor would a market rush do any weird crazy thing to parlours, designers, programmers, manufacturers, players, etc, right? Good to know.
