Finally a reply from one of the Japanese language schools I'm trying to go to
Really confused about Visas because like tourist visa is 3 months, student Visa is 1yr+, and I'm trying to take 6 months of classes
"just leave and come back after a weekend trip to Seoul for a 2nd 3 month tourist visa silly gaijin" was basically the email
summer cedar
Yes. That's what many people do.
It's fine in tourist-dependent countries and not-so-fine in places like India.
But yeah. They're not wrong.
Since you are going to ostensibly study there, it's better to take a student visa.
Japanese police conduct spot checks, especially of foreigners.
Always carry your passport with you (and visa). They might end up asking you why a student is on a tourist visa.
woven wing
Pretty much all of them say tourist visa for one 3 month term

The language schools?

Don't go by their statement.

even if Intel dont make a set of big battlemage for this round the next round they would have caught up heaps, their first attempt at RT outperformed AMDs by a pretty big margin
Nvidia were years ahead, Super product tend to better with enthusiasts but....
yeah if all the companies are closer together it could push RT into the light... 😛
thats the only way I see this stuff succeeding though is if they all have the capabilities, vendor lock titles might not age well and will get fixed on remasters

The last time that happened to me was with Scaleform. I fixed a few things with their Klik widgets and fixed their cursor issues. Even got credit for it.
Then when UE4 released and Scaleform stopped being free I applied for a license and they refused me. I was so fkin angry I quit using it (not that I could anymore) and got stuck into mastering UMG. I still miss the ease I could do UIs with Flash/SWF with Scaleoform and I was going to release my own set of widgets called xKlik which extended all the Klik widgets with useful functionality but I just never released it. Still on a hdd somewhere but it's pointless now unless I go work for Rockstar :p
