Thailand Imposes Gamers Curfew
bg writes "How addicted can you be? According to this article, Thailand will install a curfew to "protect" their childern from the addiction from Gaming. "Game servers, both local and overseas, will be blocked from 10.00pm to 6.00am daily from July 15 to Sept 30, while Internet cafes will also have their hours curbed to those times". Under particular attack is Korean role-playing game Ragnarok, which was introduced to Thailand seven months ago."
Remember, this is Thailand. During the hours from 10:00 pm to 6:00, that is where they want the children working.
I don't know what it is with Korean games, but the sounds coming out of the character's mouths never sync with their lips. I must have a slow PC.
Hopefully it will prevent incidents like this, when gamers apparently don't know when to stop.
I wish they would come around to my apartment and *enforce* this curfew on me, personally.
Games should have a playing limit; If you play for more than 24 hours, it enforces you to shower, shave and eat something. You would have to present fresh evidence that these tasks have been done before unlocking the next level.
It would be for my own good :/
Placebo? Is that the art of convincing your enemy you hit him really without actually touching him?
