LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Nick Tan Goes To Korea: A Picture Gallery

Posted on Tuesday, November 13 @ 17:07:12 Eastern by




KFC exists in Korea. And yes, it tastes better than American KFC. Many things do here.


 

Gamer Z magazine, making Halo 4 a little bit relevant in Korea.




And it's actually several hundred pages long. I'm beginning to think Korea knows how to do everything right.




Madam Tussauds: Where Desparate Women Smile And Touch Johnny Depp's Stoic Nipples




Just about the only PS3 and PS Vita booths I could find... I think she's grabbing her ass.




Neowiz allowed journalists to capture our own screenshots for Bless. I'm riding a wyvern. Thus, I am happy.

    Awesome. I would love to travel, but I feel like I'd just end up being an unintentional ******* the whole time.

    Haven't tried authentic bulgogi, though they did have authentic beef off the bone at the traditional Korean restaurant. I also had soondubu, their spicy soft tofu soup which I wish I could have for lunch every day of the week.

    Not sure if I had bulgogi specifically, but I did have beef off the bone at the traditional restaurant. Delicioso.

    About 20% of the people I met in Korea knew English pretty well. If it was a food court restaurant, they just popped out an English for me. The other 80% just stared at me.

    Looks like you had a good time man. Last time I was in South Korea I watched a small 5 foot tall Korean lady at the airport go off on her subordinate a 5'10 200+ pound guy then throw a clip board at him. He humbly picked up the clipboard bowed his head in disgrace and fear and handed her back the clip board hoping she wouldn't throw it at him again. The cultural differences are interesting. Also, fried chicken from KFC was better at the Seoul airport.

    Heh, she probably said "Pick this up." and then threw the clipboard at him.

    The last dedicated arcade I've seen is Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor, MI. And I think it does okay. I haven't been back in over a year, so I'm not positive, but I used to go drink and stumble in to waste money on playing pinball and The Simpsons. Oh, and the occasional House of the Dead 2.
