Chapter 381: Towards the Internet Age

The main reason for such a costly and laborious toss is that the development speed of computer game software is too fast, which has exceeded the update speed of hardware, and many new games cannot be played without replacing new accessories, or they are very slow to play, so it is better not to play. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, Xuanyuan Sword 3, DIABLO2, Swordsman Romance 2, Neverwinter Night, Dungeon Guardian 2, Age of Empires 2, Command & Conquer 2, Baldur's Gate, etc., in addition, games like Home, the old computer is a little bit unable to run, but there are a group of die-hard players who still want to play, and when you enter the door, you can ask if you can play the player park, and you can't play People turn around and leave, and don't ask you what other games you have.

In fact, Hong Tao himself is also this kind of fucking player, he likes to play computer games, but he is very picky, most games just try and then don't play, and don't see what others like to play. For example, he is not particularly interested in the most popular games such as Red Alert, Age of Empires, and Delta, and he has to find the kind of games that are difficult, highly playable, and can't be played by ordinary people. The more abused, the better, but the easier it is not to be happy at all.

But there is also a new game that has quickly become popular that most people can play, but he can't. This game is called Counter-Strike, or CS for short, and it is currently in version 1.0.

It is a shooting game that can be played against online on a local area network. In fact, this is not a new game, its predecessor Hong Tao played it more than a year ago, called Half-Life. It's a very simple game where you can choose whether to be a cop or a robber, and then choose one of several modest scenarios where you can fight each other with automatic rifles, pistols, daggers, and grenades.

The scene is more realistic, and the operation is relatively simple, and you can operate it freely with a few keys with the mouse. The most attractive thing is that the confrontation is fierce and fast-paced, there is no mutual groping, familiar kung fu, come up is to do, kill it. This feeling is very suitable for everyone to sit together and fight, and it's not fun to kill you in the computer, and you have to turn your head and bare your teeth at the buddy who just got a headshot next to you, or you will spare another sentence, which is very popular with young people, especially children.

At the end of the year, one-third of the customers in the Internet café were pushing Red Alert, Interstellar and Age of Empires, one-third of the customers were spraying each other with guns all over the screen, and the remaining one-third of the customers were Hong Tao who was looking for a very unpopular game and was tortured by the computer. Moreover, the number of people holding guns spraying each other is increasing day by day, and there is a trend of developing half of the rivers and mountains.

Hong Tao also tried this game, and it was really enjoyable, but he could only play it for about ten minutes, and he would be nauseous after a long time. For this reason, he also went to the hospital to ask the doctor if he was sick, but the doctor told him that it was caused by the mismatch between the 3D ability of the eye and the balance ability of the ear.

As far as he is concerned, the balance of the ears is too strong, and the eyes tell the brain that the picture is turning, but the ears do not believe in evil, it tells the brain that the body is not turning at all. So the brain was clouded, and I didn't know who to listen to first, and finally touched the body's self-protection mechanism, and used nausea to force the human body to stop, and stop tossing.

In addition to these single-player games and LAN games, there is another game that is becoming more and more attractive to customers, and that is online games. Originally, Hong Tao didn't think that online games were anything fun, in terms of graphics, operation, and confrontation, they were not as good as stand-alone and LAN games, and the only advantage was that they could be played with players from different places. But other aspects are too weak, before he played UO, the Chinese name is Internet Genesis, as well as the King of Kings, Stone Age, also still didn't find it too fun.

But now he knows that the future development trend of Internet cafes is online games. This thing is sticky to people, that is, it is easy to make people addicted, and if you are addicted, you have to play more. But for those who don't have a fast enough Internet speed at home, they can only go to the Internet café to enjoy themselves, or if they like to be lively, they can also play in the Internet café. What do Internet cafes rely on to make money? It is nothing more than the time when customers are on the computer, and what games are easy to make people addicted, then they must focus on the promotion of what games.

Speaking of addiction, some people are now calling online games spiritual opium, and they are also devaluing the new thing of Internet cafes because they are places to sell psychotropic drugs.

If your children don't like to go home, your children's grades are not good, or your children steal family money, parents can't find the reason, or they can't solve the reason, so they have to find an excuse. The Internet café just meets the conditions for finding one, and no one can help the Internet café defend it, because there are no big people who open the Internet café, and the right to speak is insufficient.

In the past, when there were no Internet cafes, children didn't learn badly? At first, they said that billiard halls and video halls were not good, and they taught children badly, and then game halls and discotheques became the main culprits for children taking crooked paths, and now it is the turn of Internet cafes.

Anyway, there is always a reliance, but there is no reflection on whether the society, the education system, the family, and even the individual parents should be responsible. It's like clearing the Internet café, and all their children who don't like to study and don't get good grades can be admitted to college.

And what's the reality? Not going to college is not about the children's grades, it's about the number of colleges. Guess what would happen if all the children in the country were able to meet the admission score? Yes, the admission score would be greatly raised. The original university enrollment rate was 30 percent, but now it has to be maintained at 30 percent, and it will not increase at all. No matter how high your child's score is, as long as he doesn't get into the 30 percent, he won't be able to get into college.

The reason is simpler, there are not so many universities in the country that can allow all high school graduates to go to school, and a large number of people must be brushed down in this way. And no matter how hard you try, the overall number of people in this part of the brush is the same. It also means that there are always so many children who can't go to college, whether there are game halls, billiard halls, video halls and Internet cafes.

The final conclusion is not very simple, what to play and whether the child can go to college has no inevitable relationship, there is no effort to scold the Internet café is better to scold the government, let the government build more universities and less five-star government buildings, this is the right way for more children, including your children, to go to college. Minzhi has never been higher in China, and the government doesn't want it to be high, so who wants to rule a bunch of brains?

There was a scene in the movie Out of Africa, where the female pig's foot built a school in a very backward part of Kenya to admit the children of the local tribe to study for free, but few people came.

She wondered, and went to many places to inquire about the reason, only to find out that it was the tribal leader who did not encourage his own tribe to send children. The female pig's foot is very incomprehensible, her school does not charge tuition, after these children learn knowledge, can't they build a better home?

So she went to ask her Kenyan butler, and the answer he gave was only a short sentence: If the children of the tribe were knowledgeable, the chief would not be able to continue to rule them!

Nowadays, Internet cafes are not too new, you can see them everywhere in the streets and alleys, and there are more around universities and middle schools. The small scale is a few or a dozen computers in a small room, and the large one has dozens of computers. Like Jingcheng, Lido, Xinyue has hundreds of computers, decoration, service, management are supporting Internet cafes are still very few, the whole market is in the initial stage of development, in one word to describe is disorganized.

Not only is the market disorganized, but so is the government's management. In the end, what department should manage the Internet café, the corresponding functional departments of industry and commerce, culture, and public security have never come up with a charter, and they belong to a state where no one is in charge and no one cares.

Anyway, there is no way to follow, it all depends on arrogance, and you can't sue the Internet café practitioners, and then you can toss as much as you want. The most ridiculous thing is the industrial and commercial bureau, there is pressure on it, and its law enforcement brigade will go to the Internet café to fine and copy the machine, and the reason given is that it exceeds the scope of operation.

However, when you ask them if they can increase their business items, they say that they do not have this project, but they approve the use of computers to provide Internet services, but there are still conditions, and they cannot play non-Internet games, and the cost-effective LAN is not considered Internet service.

Game providers blatantly advertise that the games they provide are Internet services, and there is no law in the country that says these games can only be played secretly at home, and it is illegal to take them out for profit.
