Topic	Did I miss the Squid Game topic? Spoilers maybe after first post
SovietOmega 10/12/21 5:07:13 PM #45:	I'm only a few episodes in, but I'm getting some strong Kaiji vibes from the series. Deadbeat loser of a guy with gambling addiction falls prey to nebulous underground organization running crazy gambles modeled after simple games? That's both the series in a nutshell. Though, Squid Game seems to be going for more shock value and emotional punch than the psychological desperation that permeates Kaiji. I bet if you like one, you'll like the other, so if you want to scratch more high-stakes gambling iches, I can heartily recommend Kaiji. --- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out <cite>SovietOmega posted [p:958968768] in Did I miss...
