PC Baangs In America

Posted by michael on from the bang-bang dept.

VonGuard writes "Ahoy hoy! I've written a new article for the East Bay Express about the rise of the PC Baang in the Northern California Bay Area. While in Korea, Starcraft is still the most popular Baang game, here in the US, Counter-Strike reigns supreme. Are these to be the malt shops and arcades of our time?"

    Image if they could simulate that thrill of actually sitting next to the person you're killing. That would be a real killer app.

    I think "PC Bang" might be a registered trademark of the Pr0n industry.

    From the article, talking about CS:

    The terrorists' goal is to plant a bomb and defend it until it explodes; the counter-terrorists must defuse the device or prevent it from being placed. If and when the charge is planted, a text message goes out to all players: "Someone set us up the bomb."

    Someone's pulling yer leg, mate. Did you even play the game?

    (Proper phrase is, of course, "The bomb has been planted")
