This article is about the first episode from the 2015 series. ![]() ![]() This event is critical in the life of South Korean families - entry to one of the three most prestigious “SKY” universities (Seoul National, Korea and Yonsei) will basically determine social status for most of their lives and will secure a highly-paid job in one of the chaebols (family-owned business conglomerates).Įducation at all levels and particularly in science and engineering, is viewed as a key to upward mobility in the still highly stratified Korean society. ![]() It emphasises high pressure and high performance, particularly for the 640,621 students who took the eight-hour long suneung (College Scholastic Ability Test) nationwide in November 2014. While Finland is considered a non-competitive system of education, South Korea’s is often described as very stressful, authoritarian, brutally competitive and meritocratic. This statement seems miles away from recent reports by education company Pearson and the OECD placing South Korea at the top of the education league tables. “To be a South Korean child ultimately is not about freedom, personal choice or happiness it is about production, performance and obedience,” argued Yale academic See-Wong Koo. Is the South Korean educational model replicable? This belief seems to increasingly resonate in the corridors of power in many parts of the educational world. The fact that American children “spend over a month less in school than children in South Korea” will, according to Obama, in “no way prepare them for a 21st-century economy”. Researchers from Stanford University say Asian children find motivation to succeed in parental expectations.Īustralian children with East Asian parents outperform their Australian peers, with researchers finding East Asian children spent 15 hours a week studying after school (9 hours for Australians), and have a stronger work ethic and higher aspirations (94% of them expect to go on to university).Įxperts and heads of state, from US President Barack Obama to former Australian prime minister, Julia Gillard, often cite Finnish schools or the “Asian Model” as the panacea to improve our education systems. Research has found the attitudes and strong beliefs of Asian parents make an important contribution to their children’s academic success. Why do South Korean students consistently dominate league tables?Īccording to global expert on education reform Sir Michael Barber, Korean culture “prizes effort above inherited ‘smartness’”, and believes long hours studying and hard work will eventually pay off. Students have a clear path and a clear purpose in mind at the start of their educational journey. Graduating from a top university is the ultimate marker of high status and the pressure is on from an early age.Ĭompetition and studying hard to be the best is deeply ingrained in the psyche of Korean students the entire environment surrounding the child (parents, family, and teachers) is actively involved and geared towards the same goal: to be test-ready and succeed. South Koreans view education as the main driver of social mobility, for themselves and their family. ![]() ![]() "Thank you to Stewart & Strauss for our fantastic school letterman jackets! Our students love them!" PUC Preparatory School.In Korea, perhaps more so than anywhere else, educational success equals socioeconomic status. "I've gotten so many compliments about my jacket on campus. Thank you for making a great jacket and for having superior customer service." John Kirby. "Upon retiring from the Army after 25 years of service I wanted to buy myself something that would commemorate that service - what better than a jacket from the Jacketshop! It's perfect and I receive compliments all the time on it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Keeby's name is a portmanteau of the Japanese word for yellow, きいろ/黄色 (Kiiro) and Kirby, カービィ (Kābyi). Though they share the same color palette, they are not confirmed to be the same character. Yellow Kirby, a Kirby that looks very similar to Keeby, has appeared in Kirby series main games, sub-games, and spin-offs. ![]() series, which is noted in Super Smash Bros. Though not Keeby exactly, his yellow and orange color scheme is used as an alternate palette swap for Kirby in the Super Smash Bros. As he is not seen outside of Kirby's Dream Course’s multiplayer mode (cameos aside), he is a somewhat obscure character in the Kirby series. In Kirby's Dream Course, the second player plays as Keeby in multiplayer games, and he has identical abilities to Kirby.
![]() It's never beholden to existing constructs, but always conscious of fan expectations.ĭreadOut progresses with stunted normality until Linda's cut-from-stereotype friends finish what a mysterious cult once started – connecting our world to the "Lady In Red's" domain. You'll recognize the rage-fueled "Lady in Red," swarming locusts, and jungle-dewy lands where evil resides, as DreadOut 's tone balances healthy recreation and inspired originality. Only a single eye fixates from pulled-aside linen, but the peeper eerily bulges while CG illumination highlights the mystical aspects of Stamboel's screenplay. My dedication to consoles means DreadOut has so far escaped my catalog, but after watching a lengthy demo playthrough, Stamboel honors the nightmare imagery that makes gamers recoil in fright – specifically, a "Pocong Warrior," aka cloth-wrapped mummy-lookin' corpse wielding his handheld sickle. ![]() ![]() Stamboel is smart about his adaptation's vision, commanding directorial freedoms while still contextualizing familiarity for gamer fanbases. DreadOut sparingly hops behind glowing smartphone screens, recalling how Doom 's FPS sequence high-scores because it's used sparingly. As the 2005 Doom adaptation understands, paying homage to video game stylization doesn't need to be a full-time gimmick. Otherwise, third-person viewpoints exploit supernatural levitation and force-pushing that would be lost behind a "found footage" barrier. Better yet, video game cinematography exists to emphasize action on screen when fanged apparitions lunge up close and personal towards petrified characters. Instagram live-feed windows are employed here, as are first-person perspectives torn from gamer screenshots. Stamboel's cleverest accomplishment with DreadOut is coaxing an original story out of video game limitations, but still retaining the visual blueprints of survival horror. Can Linda rescue her friends, evade the "Woman In Red," and reseal the cursed gateway for good? Linda soon learns she's been summoned to the abandoned building for a reason, as she's the only one who can read glowing ritual scribbles and chase demons away with her mobile camera flash. Erik ( Jefri Nichol ), Jessica ( Marsha Aruan ), and others foolishly ignore the warnings of haunted pasts, unwittingly opening a swirling aquatic portal to an alternate realm. Honoring the Digital Happiness game's "schoolkids in peril" vibe, the film follows Linda ( Caitlin Halderman ) and her classmates as they investigate a police-taped apartment with the hope of capturing footage to boost their social media following. Oh, and best of all? The movie is a freaky and frantic blast of immersive horror. (Not to downplay how much DreadOut lends itself to video game and viral media culture.) Stamboel draws not only from his Macabre brother Timo Tjahjanto, referencing the gore in May The Devil Take You, but this film possesses Sam Raimi vibes à la Evil Dead and Army Of Darkness. In particular, DreadOut stands proud with Resident Evil and Silent Hill as adaptations programmed right (horror movies are just better, y'all). Kimo Stamboel, half of the infamous filmmaking "Mo Brothers" duo, proves that not all video game adaptations are buggy disasters. What an idiot.For comparison's sake, the DreadOut movie is like a stealth Fatal Frame adaptation given how Indonesia's survival horror video game, which gives the film its title, is often likened to Japan's popular ghosts-on-camera platformer. Si Sulung: *sees a human being attacked by the Pocong Radja* “Ha. ![]() Si Sulung: *scares the shit out of Linda, trying to make her go into limbo so Linda's powers can be fully awakened.* Si Sulung: “Okay, so it looks like Siska has three different girls with her. Siska: “SI SULUNG, what is good, motherfucker.” Siska: “Today I'm going to face my mortal enemy.” Si Sulung: “Touch Linda, and I will feast on your innards.” ![]() Siska: *steps foot inside abandoned village.* Third Sister, through Ira: “Linda, Ira has the Big Gay for you, you dumbass.” Linda: *hits one motherfucker (Siska) with another motherfucker (Si Sulung).* Second Sister: “Rude.” *snaps the dead Doni's neck out of spite.* Look, Miss Siska is a two timing little shit, she's the reason you're stuck here-” What the Second Sister might be saying: “LINDA! Thank god I found you. I need to use him to contact Linda to warn her about the Snake Mistress's spawn.” Second Sister: *sees Doni's corpse.* “Oh, hey, I know this kid. Miss Siska: “I will fucking destroy your entire bloodline, you fucking bitch.” (I'll give you a hint: she's the First Sister) And you may or may not figure out which DreadOut character is my favorite. While I'm back, here's some dumb DreadOut incorrect quotes because I'm an idiot. ![]() ![]() Making Evelyn proud: Finish 5 successive days whitout leaving any dirty tables before closing.

The mouse will give you 100 points and a trophy can be earned for catching all 50 mice. This game continues the mouse mini-game, in which the player must click on the mouse that pops on the screen every now then. Target score and expert score are now shown through stars during the level a blue one for target and a gold one for expert. This improvement from previous games helps the player maintain the customers high level of satisfaction and form combos of action more easily.
