Also if you would lose your group and not be able to go to stage 3, its possible to play in it the next week ? Then stage 3 is all about winning to qualify to a playoff? sorry for being slow :D | ||

It's not too far off, that playing PC games is linked to Erotic Games in Japan. Anime like "Ore no imouto ga konnani kawaii wake ga nai" show, in this case, a girl hording Erotic games and other stuff and lending it to her brother. "Boku ha tomodachi ga sukunai" also has a girl that plays "Eroge" on her notebook. Also it seems like families rather have notebooks than a normal computer, probably because of the limited space they get in their apartments. Anyway, happy to hear that Japan is starting to develop "E-Sports". Fighting games or arcade games in general are not held with price money, but goods for the first place finisher. When I went to Tougeki 2010, the winners got 1 Hori Real Arcade Pro VX Arcade as their price. A friend of mine also told me that "DUNE", a Japanese KoF player, had organized a tournament with sponsorship and price money. Wait let me get this right. You just used 2 comedy (one completely anime/otaku as whole subject) anime as proof? Oh man, if we based off every country on 2 shows you happen to saw form there then i guess watching a show like trailer park boys means nobody in America has a real house and everyone lives in a trailer right. Do you have any idea how insane your logic is? | ||

Gambling is illegal here in japan, but there are ways around it. They dont consider this kind of gaming gambling though. Fighting games are just a drop in the bucket here. Arcades everywhere, always packed, and so many crazy games. Lots of multiplayer games too. You can find like 20 guys sittng at a giant screen doing horse racing, tons of card gsmes, fighting games. Awesome arcades here... and more manga and anime than you could ever possibly hope to consume. Interesting culture... | ||

Do you have any idea how insane your logic is? I didn't base it on those 2 Anime shows, but gave them as an example. From my experience there is still a quite negative image of people playing video games in Japan (which anime also depict. Dunno if I have ever seen a Gamer or PC Programmer shown as a super awesome person in an Anime). PCs were mainly used for eroge or other adult stuff, that was not allowed on consoles. Even the huge fighting game community doesn't get much love. There are much more sponsored players in the US or Europe than in Japan, even though the Japanese dominate pretty much every game. Anyway, GL to the Japanese guys. Hope they can make something happen | ||

I've lived in Japan for 2 years so far, and was married to a Japanese woman for 3 years before I came over. From your examples listed, I'm not even going to go into it because you sound like some weaboo that seems to have some strange view of Japan from your weird ass animes and is stating it as a fact when it is actually just some obscure observation that no one I have spoken to even has ever heard of before. I'm going to take you saying "seems like families have notebooks than normal computers" to mean you've never actually been to Japan or have only visited for a short time. In Kanagawa and Tokyo at least, everyone I know has a desktop computer. Even my friends who live in little apartments still have room for computers. Hell, even my girlfriend's mother has her own PC. Japanese houses and apartments/mansions are small yes, but small enough to not have room for a computer? That is another telltale that A. you either have never actually been to Japan, or B. you went to some desolate prefecture that shouldn't be generalized as all of Japan. So to answer your question, no, I didn't just put Japan as my country for fun. Thanks for asking though. | ||

I wrote "seems like" as all my friends in Japan use a notebook instead of a PC, some families of my friends even use it for the whole family, aka it's the only computer in the apartment. Did not want to generalize something I cannot back up by statistics. If you have more information on that subject, I would be very interested in it. Japanese sources are fine as well. I have only been in Japan for ~1,5months now. I would not really call myself a weaboo, as I'm more interested in video games than anime/manga. I rather hit up an arcade in my free time. Also I've been to Osaka and Tokyo so far, not planning to move to some desolate place in the near future. Maybe I just have a different experience in Japan up till now, compared to your experience. | ||

A friend of mine also told me that "DUNE", a Japanese KoF player, had organized a tournament with sponsorship and price money. Pretty much my thoughts. And I've lived in Japan for more than 8 years now. I work in Akihabara (the video games, electronic town in Tokyo for those who don't know) and I have to agree a majority of PC games sold here are erotic games (can we even call this a game ?). It doesn't mean PC gaming is not popular at all here, but associating PC games in Japan with porn is not a mistake imho. Recently the Playstation/Xbox games are more often on PC so I wouldn't be surprised if more japanese switch to play with their PC instead. However, japanese youngsters often live in a 20 square meters 1 room appartment with tatami flooring and not much furniture (at least nothing big like a desk). They like to play sitting on the futon with the TV often set directly on the floor, so playing with a mouse + keyboard is not really convenient in this case. | ||

Understandable :D If you would've had that as your second post I would've seen where you were coming from and it wouldn't sound like an attacking post. Glad we can settle on different experiences without just getting on the offensive :D cheers | ||
