It's a cultural thing. I'm from Shenzhen. We...well. It was sort of expected. I know that's not always the way of things here in the United States. One of the reasons why my father wanted me to attend university here rather than trying for our entrance exams back home. He knew I had a better future and sent me to where I could get it.
It is, generally. I've helped out with a few, but I haven't created my own yet. Oh, sounds interesting. I like the concept! It's not an actual game, but I wish SAO was. It's an anime, but the storyline explains about a VR MMORPG where the main characters are stuck in a game where they can't die or they die in real life. That part's not so good, but the world around them is pretty awesome. I'll have to show it to you so you know what I mean!
It's a skill-based game though in the show where there are 100 levels and players have to defeat the bosses on each floor to get up to the 100th level. There was a twist with the game, but no spoilers coming from me!
Excellent! I'll bring something over to cook, then, because it's never good to come to a new place empty-handed. I'm also a fan of Starbucks. Worked there while I was in school. Want anything?
