이중반룡의 게임애가 泥中蟠龍 ‘s Game 愛歌 A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity   Should keep net neutrality alive? Part 02   August. 01. 2018. I took a look at the dictionary definition of net neutrality and talked about two stances of it in Part 01. There are Internet service providers' position where Internet content providers providing information through network should pay network fees for their users and Internet content providers' position in which net neutrality is the basic right and digital contents industry can be threaten without net neutrality. I'd like to examine the two sides of it in detail.   First, we need to make sure that network is public goods or private property. Do you think network can be replaced with another? We are already living in the world of Internet. Teachers access to the Internet for sending newsletters and bank clients don't go the bank thanks to Internet banking. Living without Internet ...

이중반룡의 게임애가 泥中蟠龍 ‘s Game 愛歌 [A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity]   Should keep net neutrality alive? Part 01 July. 12. 2018. The Federal Communications Commission repealed net neutrality rules in December 2017. It also has an influence on the net neutrality repeal in South Korea. It's hard for us to express our personal opinion about this issue in many ways. Meeting many different people working in the field of contents industry, I see people around me having the opposite opinion of me. It's not easy for me personally talk about this issue, so I'd like to express my idea in writing hoping that I could convince many people to agree with me.   By definition, net neutrality is as follows:   "Internet service providers and government treat all data on the Internet equally, and not discriminate differently by user, content, platform, type of attached equipment, or method of communication."   N...

이중반룡의 게임애가 泥中蟠龍 ‘s Game 愛歌 [A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity] Blockchain and right game   June. 28. 2018. I dealt with the subject of the Bechdel test and right game in the last column. I'd like to talk about another meaning of right game this time.   Recently, there's been a lot of talks about blockchain-related subject across the content industry. I also discussed the impact of blcokchain technology on the content industry in a related government agency just hours before writing this article. I have predicted that blockchain will not only change a large part of the content industry but also contribute to developing the content field. I still haven't changed my thought.   However, I think that the recent talks about the new technology is putting the cart before the horse. Blcokchain is literally a technology. It doesn't make anything. Blockchain solution brings up transparent transactions based o...

이중반룡의 게임애가 泥中蟠龍 ‘s Game 愛歌 [A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity] The Bechdel test and righteous games The Bechdel test   There is the Bechdel test which is a method of evaluating the portrayal of women in fiction. It is first appeared in comic strip of the American cartoonist Alison Bechdel in 1985. And it just needs to satisfy the following requirements:   1. The movie has to have at least two women in it, 2. who talk to each other, 3. about something besides a man.   It's not easy to find films which meet these simple-looking standards. Recently released Korean movies generally fail to meet the requirements. All movies meeting the above criteria don't portray gender equality. However, the fact that just less than half of the movies pass the simple test means that film industry is a largely male-dominated filed. It's more clear when applying the requirements to men and women in reverse.   ...

泥中蟠龍 's Game 愛歌 [A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity]   The nuclear power generation industry and the video gaming industry   The Shin Kori Nuclear Power Plant Units 5&6 construction is scheduled to begin again soon. Last July, the Moon administration launched an ad-hoc committee to gather public opinion on whether to permanently halt the building of the nuclear reactors while temporarily called off constructing power plants. The committee offered a variety of sources to about 500 "citizen jurors", conducted surveys, hold public hearings over about four months and submitted the final recommendations to the Government. According to the recommendations, 59.5 percent supported a reconstruction with 40.5 percent objecting to the current policy. Also, 53.2 percent recommended to gradually lower reliance on nuclear power from now on.   I believe that stop building the 5&6 plants is desirable. Nuclear fission energy,...

泥中蟠龍 's Game 愛歌 [A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity]   A break for South Korea's gaming industry   Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) will be held soon. I have kept writing for a newspaper for four years since around the 18th film festival in 2013. But it seems like just yesterday. I'm not trying to show off although I'm somewhat overwhelmed by the long-period time and there were many pleasant memories. Frankly speaking, the opening sentence of the column is nothing short of a struggle to escape from finding a new subject because I simply can't decide what to write about today. This quite often happened for the past four years as the deadline drew near. I used to sit in front of a computer looking at the monitor for a good while with no definite idea.   In this case, I usually try to have my attention drawn away running through a book or playing a video game. I used to find myself begging a subject from ...

泥中蟠龍 's Game 愛歌 [A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity]   Mechanized man and humanized AI   Recently, I started to give a lecture on game design to students majoring in video games at a university. I was so excited for the new classes that my heart was pounding. Of course, it was not a new experience for me and I also have given special lectures several times. However, this opportunity seemed very significant for me because I was an ineffectual teacher ten years ago and when it comes to the occasional lectures since then, they were mostly about not game design but investment-related topics. So I started the new semester promising myself to make my lectures helpful and valuable for all educatees.   Frankly speaking, the first few times of lessons were unpleasant, contrary to my expectations. I guess that student's low levels of understanding content ranked at the top of the main causes.   A tutee who wants ...
