...have any of you ever been? Am I gonna be able to get around as an English speaker? I hear Japan is easy-peasy if you only speak English, but I've never heard anything about South Korea.

i've had friends stationed there and they never told me any horror stories so i dunno

Just say "Starcraft" and you'll be fine.

Didn't you hear that they rape and eat American video game journalists?

rofl

Play Starcraft until you pass out.

Sorry, I have nothing important to contribute.

One of my best mates was out there working for a wee bit. The language thing didn't seem to be a massive problem. It is such an up and coming place and there seems to be quite a load of expats over there now I shouldn't think you will have a problem. Anywhere you don't speak the language usually have the patience to try and understand your sign language. I have done that from Europe to Asia (as long as you have the address of where you are staying in the local language you will always find your way back) Provided you aren't a tossbag about it and automatically expect them to understand with no effort on your part they will help you.

I love Dei's posts. You learn new things everyday.

dont step on a landmine or get zerged

South Korea's fine and caters well to Americans. You don't have anything to freak out about.

Except for the Zerg rush.

Then you 4-pool rush them and laugh as they cry "OMG I SAID NR" "Yeah d00d, no rulez lolz" and such.

Alive. they eat you alive.


oh and rape you at the same time.

It will not be pleasant. It will not be over quickly.

I'm only half freaked out about that part of it. The other half is that I have to write a 6 page paper on mobile gaming trends for this event's packet, and then give a 20 minute lecture/presentation on the same subject. Then the next night is the awards ceremony and I'm one of the judges of the mobile gaming categories.

I'm in so far over my head.

I'm sorry.

Make sure you tell everyone how much you love mass carriers.

Dude you'll do fine. They obviously respected you enough to put you on the panel of judges. And you have to write a paper stating your opinion . . . your pretty set with that.
