Nevermind, I googled a website that still host english subs. Even though it’s incomplete… The episodes that feature MMORPG is 15 and 16.

can’t do french, but you might as well link me. I’ll probably look for an English sub this weekend, though I’m not sure when I’ll have a chance to get through it. All of my leisure time for the next month or so is invested in re-reading and book-on-taping Harry Potter =P

I can’t find any of the episodes form youtube and it has yet to be released in english. But if you can read french subtitles, then I can direct you to a website that hosts the anime.

this conversation at terra nova brushed over hikikomori:

but you’re absolutely right, in that cultural standards can add very subtle layers of complexity to the topic at hand.

I’ll see if I can find a copy or some youtubes of the episode that you’re talking about.

Quite an interesting project you two are having. I’d like to see it when it’s completed.

When I was watching the interview with Dr. Scott, some of the portion reminded me of a disorder called ‘hikikomori’ or as I call it Japan’s version of social withdrawal. I sometimes wonder whether MMO addiction and hikikomori have a parallel development and course… Given hikikomori’s recognition and MMO’s popularity in Japan, it sure would complicate treatment over there! But, I’m also worried whether such phenomenon happens here…

On a side note, I recommend watching an anime called “Welcome to the NHK” which deals with hikikomori and it has an episode that featured an MMORPG.

Thanks Russell. It was technically just the thesis that was on videogame addiction - but yeah. I’m actually visiting Shavaun this week to figure out how to wrap up a book on the topic.
