I thought this was a good title for a post over at Voodoo Extreme about the Chinese Government's strategy to reduce the number of hours gamers can be online.

oh you did think that, did you?

Oh nooos poor Chinese have to take a break from evercrack/mmorpg of choice for 5 hours, whatever will they do? Their life will be so empty and meaningless for 5 hours.

I love the poll on the side of the page

Which hypothetical sequel would most interest you?
Baldur's Gate 3
C&C Red Alert 3
Diablo 3
Duke Nukem Forever
Half-Life 3
Halo 3
Starcraft 2
System Shock 3
Unreal 3
WarCraft 4

lol. 3 hours what a joke. your just getting into a game at that stage. should be 5 hours at least.

General outrage - What a f'ed up place those crazy asians live in.

Maybe chinese gamers should move to Taiwan?

Policing how long people play online games in thier own homes now? That's tradgic. that's really sad. Pretty low even by Chinas standards.

Soon they will policing your sleep over there no doubt. And if you sleep too much, hidden cameras squirt you with cold water.

Of course this also smacks of hypocrisy as usual. What about people who don't play mmorpgs? There might be people playing thier PS2 for 8 hours straight. *gasp* oh the horror of it all.

Thanks Jim, I lub you too.

How r you going you old bastard?

:P

The GAPP has defined the playing of online games for less than three consecutive hours as "healthy," playing three to five consecutive hours as "tiring," and playing for more than five consecutive hours as "unhealthy."

Yeah, i guess if i was like the old men running the communist party i'd get tired after 5 hours of mid-level mental concentration too. :)

psycho I am going extremely well thanks - and I am actually defying the aging process so I dunno where you get old bastard from - that's right, I am still 13 years old!

He drives like he is 13 years old ... has trouble keeping it on the road.

imagine if the chinese were as lazy as us.

13 hey?..s*** you must be playing a lot of Counterstrike then.

:P

If they make the XP less the more you play, it gives people more of a reason to become a full time poopsocker.

Ok we're imagining it, now tell us your point.

there is no point its hypothetical because they have much more of a drive for success than we do, but if there is a point, it is to imagine if they were lazier than us. like spending heaps of time playing online games

How is extreme communisim a drive for success?? China is not a success because they are harsh communists. They are booming now as they modernise everything, but then you can do alot for your country with 2 Billion people huh. That's alot of workers.

This drives the huge surging chinese economy. They are spending BIG on all kinds of development projects.

imagine if the chinese were as lazy as us.

ZING! I rofl'd whole-heartedly.

calm down buddy

he sucks cock like a 13 year old!

And stinky knows how both a 13 year old and him suck cock.

You said China has more drive for success than us. The chinese are communists. Strict ones.

1 + 1 = the statement fits.

And they do have 2 Billion people or close to it. Ok, 1.3 Billion. So what. Still an extremely large amount of people.

India has grown quite alot. I remember when they only had 900 something million. On the subject of India certain reports have them overtaking china as the worlds largest nation in the next 20 or 30 years.

Gamers getting screwed?

hahahahaha, never gonna happen

I doubt the Government is overly conserned with the health of the people (much like ours..), just that excessive game playing will result in lower productivity per person, as more time is used playing games instead of working.

Persay is right. Just look at EA. A fine fine company, consistently bringing us top quality products again and again. Excellent support too. God bless them.

heh there are gonna be like underground internet cafe's springing up in red light districts all over the motherland

"oi duma, seclet intelnet cafe at my house, slee hour of coutelstike fo sirty fie dolla BITESU !"

^^ we let you play, long time

awww if they implement this, who's gonna be selling epic mounts on ebay?

or money for the epic mounts should I say..... ^____^

The chinese are communists. Strict ones.

actually no. they way things are going in china now, they are dirty corrupt capitalists.

corrupt communists, corrupt capitalists.. meh it's all the same :p

haha. good point Fish.

that's very nice
now, suck my cock
