I could be down for some DnD but I would suggest a google hangout instead of skype. That way you can see me shotgunning beers and internalizing failure on reflex saves

I'm up for it either as a DM or player. I've DM'd 4th Ed, which I think is easy to pick up for beginners and is fun to DM.

Does anyone have any experience buying/building a desktop computer in Korea? I'm leaving Canada in a few weeks, and I only have a desktop, which is too large to take over. I really want to avoid buying a laptop, it always seems like you pay twice as much for half the computer. I would need it to be able to function as a gaming computer, so that I can play video games online at 8:00 AM with my younger brother. Apparently shops in Yongsan will assemble a computer for you if you bring them a list of parts. I don't really know anything about computers, and wouldn't be comfortable building it myself. Anyone have any experience/advice about this?

Gaming laptops these days are fine really, I got a $600 one two years ago and it still runs anything you throw at it no problem. Computers are really expensive here, your best option is to grab a solid laptop in Canada and bring it with you. Keep in mind your Korean apartment isn't going to have a lot of space and you may be moving frequently if you stay here. If you want to desktop, where are you living? Building one is easy, I'm sure a lot of us could do it. I'd harvest the main components from your current computer and bring them with you, just pick up the tower/monitor here. If you don't care about money it's not hard to get everything here.

I really want to avoid buying a laptop, it always seems like you pay twice as much for half the computer. I would need it to be able to function as a gaming computer, so that I can play video games online at 8:00 AM with my younger brother. I did this to buy my work computer. I went here, sat down with a dude, told him the parts I wanted, and paid him. Then I told him I wanted them to assemble it (조립), and I think that ended up being 20,000 Won. I've put together many computers before, but for 20,000 Won, why gently caress around with stupid troubleshooting? Anyway, they charged me about 5% more than what the internet would have for parts and I am very happy with it. In that same building you can also buy used/factory reject monitors for 100,000 Won. When you do, look them over very carefully, turn them on, subject them to a variety of conditions, etc... There's going to be something small wrong with every one they have for sale, it's just a matter of deciding if it's worth the compromise. One of my monitors doesn't sleep properly, the other dims when there are a lot of dark pixels on the screen, and they're both identical models, so I know they're not design flaws. Other than that, they're basically new, high-quality, brand-name monitors for about half the price.

If you're lucky you can find cosmetic damage. I got my camera tripod for like 20% of the full price because it was the display model and was scratched up a bit.

So I'm proofing the international journal paper submission that describes the English-teaching robots that were big in the news a year or two ago. Will the internet allow me to use the word "ironic" loosely just this once to describe this situation?

There's time for both, he said he wants to game with his brother come on man. Buy guy, assuming you're going to be in a city (any city, unless you're teaching on a farm) you'll live close to like 20 pc bangs. There's one in my building, 2 in my hagwon's building and 1 across from my hagwon. They're gonna have better computers than you will be buying. It's cheap as hell too, less than $1usd an hour. And they got all the mountain dew and shrimp chips you'll need. And your gaming would count as "doing something Korean" too.

PC 방s are smokey the majority of the time. Probably wont have the game you want to play or you will have to wait for the game to doenload and install. Will be entirely in Korean. Good for something simple that you already know like League of Legends. But even then it's on the Korean servers. So they aren't always the best options. I'd suggest buying a laptop at home. I got mine shipped to me. In the end my laptop, a Samsung, cost me half the price as the identical model costs here. After shipping costs.

I ended up building a computer recently, but mostly* for non-game stuff. I had my brother cannibalize and ship my old one that was gathering dust in my parents basement and bought a case and some internals (PSU, ram, etc) off gmarket and it ended up being super cheap. Buy secondhand or chinese-made becuase who cares and they're a fraction of the price. *probably lying to myself here

You can just buy it on Steam and instal it on the PCBang computers. at 8mbs a second you lose like 15 minutes at the most. that way all you need is an email account to send your save file. It's what I did for Skyrim.

Yeah I played Portal 2 that way. Was sort of surprised they just let you install software on their machines, that seems insanely insecure.

I just had this idea, might sound kinda stupid but bear with me here and keep an open mind. I gotta do some dishes, and I really dont want to. But what if I just soap them up, let them soak then take them all too my bathroom and just hose them off? Then I'd just have to wipe them down after and that's it! It's practically the same as a dishwasher just bigger right?

Alright so for  Nerdinomicon The days would be Sunday, time TBD. DM: Maxsmart His Whimsical Subjects: Gildiss DontAskKant Onion Knight Arctic Baldwin Toussaint Louverture KirbyKhan (Time Dependant) As for the game of choice we are kicking around the ideas for 4th, Pathfinder, and 13th Age. We can use Skype, the LLJK Vent server, or whatever. I will invite the above into a kakao room to hammer out the finer details. Wizards.

Give me a good 24 hours on that kakao room. I'm without a phone right now. My S2 stopped picking up a network signal, so I took it in and they told me that the main board had been crushed. When I argued about it, they told me I could get it repaired for 159k - orrrrr - I could get a free S3 and have my monthly bill reduced significantly, I just have to wait a day for the new phone.

Being as it's not, what I said doesn't really matter. Another option is poaching a used gaming PC on waygook or craigslist seoul. Even if there is nothing showing up you can always post a wanted ad. Also you could try bringing over the most expensive parts in your luggage (unboxed or whatever), and then getting it all put into a case once you're here.
