Yes, but still. I think it was great for promotional purposes [ Like Starcraft needs more ] and all but Boxer should've won all 4 ^ O^. Okay maybe give one of them to the kids just out of kindness.

I asked my cousin about the merchandise and he says that there was Boxer Cereal at one point, he said it'd be hard to find now. And he said he wasn't sure if they still had the Boxer candy.

T_T

I need that DvD too, if I can find it.

The best Starcraft thing you can do in Korea is going to Mega Studio or Sejung Game World to watch Progame Leagues, I think. Especially, on match days of popular game league like OSL, you would be excited with the mood. Hundreds of audiences, lightings, cameras and screaming commentators...

If you can, sit down behind progamer's seat and watch them play. I was very impressed when I saw their 'micro control' at the first thime.

I know another merchandise about Boxer. It's a mouse with package printed Boxer's photo. And, I saw big posters of team SK T1 at my school. Boxer DVD is good. Funny to watch and blue Boxer T-shirts...Haha. Though it's too big to me, I like its OSL logo.

Heh, you got there ahead of me. This'll be the last time I go back home for around 5-6 years, so I'm kinda worried about how I can make the most of it. I'll probably never 'live' there again and only be able to 'visit' from now on.

~ Sigh ~

Being here for the first time in 5 years makes me think of what my life would've been like if I had grown up here instead of America.

Edit: Thanks for the advice Dj_Heather, I'll try to do those things. Meanwhile I'm still looking for Boxer Merchandise Rawr~~

Does that mean if you crack a SC joke in a school everyone will actually understand?

I think a large percentage probably play at PC baang just because of our culture. If you play alot at home your parents will be like WTF YOU GAY THUG WANNABE GO OUT AND STUDY! Then you get all ASDF~! so most just figure it's better to play at Pc Baang where no one can fuck with you, also you can meet up with friends to play other games after about 8+ hours of SC.

I've read Starcraft used to explain:

1) dating
2) Korean politics
3) school life
4) sports

God knows how many other topics are also explained with Starcraft terminology. Here is an example:

Post: "What should I do about this girl? Blah blah blah..."

Reply: "Rush her." (Meaning, go for it.)

Hey hey hey, I just got back from 5 hours at pc Baang, it was great. It's more a of a new place so it was pretty cool. It was a little small though, only about 21 comps. Actually it was medium. Depends on how you look at it. Friendly owner. My mom made complete embarassment of me though, she came in [ That's not embarassing part ] and went up to owner and was like, my son is from America, not a student skipping school, please be kind to him.

WTF MATE?!

Anyway, I'm going to Coex this Friday, which just happens to be the night where some starcraft event happens, I forgot, someone said it, Was it Drone? Anyway, I'm going to be there all day basically, dropped off in the morning and be alone [ I guess. ] From what I've heard Mega Studio is next to Coex mall? Is that where I want to go in the afternoon?

Edit: Leg, I watched those 3 reps of you vs Ogogog while eating rahmyun, instant noodles, man that was art.

I heard 'no match on this Friday at mega studio coz of OSL round of 8 matches on this Saturday at Jamsil Stadium' Will you go there anyway? Mega studio is in Coex-mall, next movie complex 'Megabox'. Mega studio is the corner, next to,PS2 room(I don't know the shop's name exactly, anyway, the place is related to PS2.
