Unfortunately, those attending GDC China won't be getting the traditional, mandatory shock treatment at the show, as that has been recently banned. For shame, China! Hopefully Mechner will be enough.

Contrary to what people would expect, the more computer-savvy Chinese are actually very fluent in English. I just finished a 2 year stint at a university in Hong Kong and most of the Mainland Chinese students at that university spoke English more fluently than the Hong Kong students.

Are you surprised?.The only way to take over a civilization is to blend in.I'm sure half or more of the asian people in the West Coast are illegal communist chinese with forged papers to appear to be residents.They are the "fifth column" China is creating is the USA ready to take over this country.The germans did it before WWII but if didn't work well.They did it in New York but the jewsish and irish population were more than the Fuhrer's government estimated and their outbreak fizzled.The chinese communist government have learned and in 15 years wait to see what is going to happen in this country.For that you need fluently english speaking people.

I fraking hate Karateka. Screw that game. What kind of ending is that? I must have played through it 10 times before i realized that you get killed regardless of what you do. That game almost soured me of video games when i was young.

you got all the way to the end of the game 10 times without figuring out how to avoid being killed by the girl?
*spoilers*
you have to run into her arms. if you slowly approach her in your fighting stance, she kills you- but if you run into the room and right into her, she holds you and kisses you... fin.

First of all Chinese set it up for 10 years to take over not 15, just look at new home buyers all around the US towns, second; how much this government owes to Chinese one of the third countries, they suck the blood out of their people, keep them poor to be this power full, Chinese in US pore money in collages to be given as scolar ship to Chinese students when American kids are busy drinking and,,,,,,,,

I'm fine with the Chinese as a nation, it's their moronic government that thinks everyone really believes the bullshit they spout that probably pisses most people off.

Do you guys pronounce it "kuh-ra-ta-ka" or "kare-a-teak-a"?

me and my friends always used to pronounce it the first way :) i still call it that- but there was always room for debate. kind of like pronouncing "Ninja Guy-den" as "Ninja Gay-den"...
