과연 그들은 손 잡을 것인가...

요즘 바쁘다는 핑계로 인터넷 검색도 잘 못했는데요. 오늘은 시간이 좀 되어서 제가 사랑(?)하는 Venturebeat에서 좀 오래 놀았습니다. 그러다 이런 기사를 발견했네요.


Apple may partner with HBO on the launch of its $15/month streaming service


상당히 많은 수의 미국 드라마를 감상하고 HBO의 멋진 작품들을 좋아하고 Apple 제품을 즐겨 쓰고 사랑하는 저로서는 상당히 솔깃한 소식이었습니다. 오늘은 기사 전문을 제 방식대로 풀어서 한 번 옮겨보는 시간을 가져보겠습니다.


HBO가 스트리밍 서비스 파트너사를 찾느라 혈안이다. HBO는 Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Amazon 등의 회사와 지속적으로 웹 스트리밍 서비스 출시 준비를 논하고 있는 것으로 전해졌다. HBO에서 계획 중인 독립 서비스는 International Business Times의 기사에 따르면 4월 출시 예정으로 "HBO Now"라는 서비스 명칭으로 가동된다. 지난 해 CNET에 개제된 기사 내용과 유사하게 IBT에서는 서비스 요금이 월당 $15로 Apple TV와 같은 셋톱박스 형태로 제공될 것이라고 말했다.


HBO측에서 cable TV를 넘어선 사업 영역을 구축하려는 전략에 따라 이미 이번 스트리밍 서비스에 힘을 싣어줄 콘텐츠로 Major League Baseball Advanced Media를 거론한 바 있다. HBO 이외에 기존 TV 사업자들도 웹 스트리밍 서비스의 사업적 중요성을 기회로 삼고자 노력하고 있다.


그나저나 넷플릭스는 도대체 언제 한국 진출을 정말로 시동걸까요... 부릉부릉...

My heart still goes to Henry Cavil for the Superman though...

I really didn't have any breath hold when I get into the theater. My superman was the one who was portrayed by Henry Cavil. Still is. But now I can accept the version of Superman that James Gunn gave a life. The Superman has a human heart despite the fact that their biological parents told him to rule human beings. (I should say that I don't fully understand why his biological parents have to become some sort of villans. They didn't portray like this in any other previous Superman movies before.) The Superman has his own way of wits whether his wits come together with people around him. The Superman has ordinary human parents who raised him full of love. His father made my heart warm with a single sentence which is very touching. The Superman has metahuman friends where there was a complete opposite from the previous movies. It also makes him more human being even though he is like the most powerful being in that universe. This version of Superman shows every creature can g...

Valorant the game you may want to play

Riot's first and new FPS game went beta test for NA and EU regions. Before beta test went live, last weekend was boosted by gaming community for Valorant. Twitch teamed up with Riot Games and dropped beta test keys for who watched their famous streamers on Twitch. Today was not the different but there are gamers who still want to have the beta key though. (Obviously the most scapegoat at the moment on Twitch is OW as they are losing their viewer of the games.) I was able to wake up early last weekend and then started to watch DrLupo 's streaming where he answered the chat's various and repeatable questions based on what he played the game. And then he had around an hour's session with two Riot's developers for the game: Game Director: Josh @roitziegler Execute Producer: Jane @riotsupercakes So here are Q&A summary: (If you find any incorrect Q&A here, please correct me.) Beta phase? Riot will distribute more beta keys as time goes by. (한국에선 언제하...

A possible hope of variety of games produced in South Korea?

Since early 2010, the Korean gaming industry has been stagnated deeply. While indie game developers struggle to find financial support to keep developing, the bigger game developing company renews their already 10 years old IP with the exact same format of billing and play style. It has not been changed since the pandemic. Even so, there has been outstanding progress to new trials and development past decade as we all know. But still, there might be a possible hope that the Korean gaming industry seeks a new and various genre of the game that gamers and different generations can play… very slowly. If you are a gamer, you might already see gamescom 2021 opening night live. Literally, in that live event, we all can see so much new and exciting content and story of the game that are currently developing and getting ready to be out there. One of them has caught my eyes.  It’s not just because the developer is based in South Korea. Their motivation of how it starts to developing is all...
