It doesnt surprise me that the game he was playing was starcraft. The game is hardcore addicting and a great riot to play it is definitely in the top 5 games of all-time.
Think of a fad, a mega-fad here in the U.S.
Say Pokemon, or Madden, or britney spears, even CS, now multiply the "fadness" of it a million times over and you will see what starcraft is in korea.
Tv shows, Clothing, Ringtones, Even Doritoes!
Starcraft is korea's NFL Sunday, but everyday.
Tournaments range form mere thousands to hundred fold jackpots and WCG hosted world wide events.
Just one peek at a local event or tvshow or even the great starcraft website www.sclegacy.com.
And youll see the power of an 8yr. old game where the developers got it right.
Continuously hyped at such an old age.
Average Players on a weekend on all 4 worldwide servers is Something in the millions.
And as it seems to dip in the appearance of Satcraft:Ghost(which is a horrid game btw)
I hate to say it but if you think Halo was big. You aitn seen nothing.
Gamers all over the world will Rue the day Starcraft 2 comes out.
