This is so amazing. I also want some potato mushrooms.

Let it be known that Communism produces the best phallic monuments.

DRPK bride, hahaha

[Foliorum Viridum]

So glad they didn't do any callers or BS. This was amazing.

Up there with the very best GB content ever. Perfect infotainment.

[Brobzoid]

DRPK bride, hahaha

too hot

girl's pretty good too

[Watanabe Kazuma]

Comrade Drew delivers!

That was extremely cool; I didn't think I'd sit through the whole thing, but I was fascinated the entire time.

[shadyspace]

I'm going to report Giant Bomb as an organization that endorses animal cruelty.

lmao

[Felix Lighter]

People are people but they also have to keep in mind that Drew was being guided through areas prepped for visitors.

I know they are aware of that but it's easy to forget that fact when you see nothing but happy proud people.

[Friedreich]

This alone is worth my subscription money. Surprisingly profound stuff from a video game site; I hope they keep up with the content.

[Foliorum Viridum]

They stressed this many times, and all you need to do is go on a site like the Boston Big Picture to find images of NK that don't paint such a pretty picture. I think most people realise that NK isn't actually all like that.

[Cartman86]

North Korea isn't really communist are they? Some people argue that Soviet Russia wasn't even the kind of communism Marx wrote about, but NK is even farther from that. Cult of personality, dead leaders, extreme isolationist philosophy. Didn't the country officially distance itself from communism recently?

[Brobzoid]

my favorite picture from North Korea

[Watanabe Kazuma]

Brad seems like he was itching to talk about some shady shit!

I love all the conspiracy theories, and the propaganda village near the border sounds magical.

[Typographenia]

Those behind-closed-doors Starcraft circles they have running in NK are legendary.

[AleeN634]

I missed the first part but that was really fascinating. A big thanks to Drew and Giantbomb!

[Foliorum Viridum]

my favorite picture from North Korea

The other pictures like that of people fishing etc are so depressing too.

[DTKT]

my favorite picture from North Korea

Damn, that's a really nice picture! I'd get that framed.

They Zerg rush like you wouldn't believe!

[Haunted]

So now that the content is done, we can come back to Watanabe Kazuma's HL2 is overrated comment.

*cracks knuckles*

Every South Korean can defend against a 6 pool before they're out of diapers.

[ratzombie]

That was so fascinating, and Vinny was killin' it.

[Haunted]

Wait, you watched a Drew video with your pants on?

It's just one misstep after another with you.



But all joking aside, that was good content. Now let's get some vidyogames back up in this bitch.

[Watanabe Kazuma]

Wait, you watched a Drew video with your pants on? It's just one misstep after another with you.

Well, I had to maintain some semblance of dignity when the conversation turned to dog-eating.

[Lonestar]

Yeah, had just bought a subscription a few days ago. Happy i did, and i missed most of the beginning of it!

[ArjanN]

I thought I was somewhat odd that Drew didn't think there was anything sinister, when pretty much everything they showed was sinister and creepy as hell.

Even their fake propaganda town looks like shit to me, and the rest of the country is 10 times worse.

[daycru]

DPRK chat was maybe my favorite piece of GB content ever.

[Mahonay]

Turn this potato into a mushroom.

Amazing piece of content. Really well done for something so different from what they normally put together. I was only able to catch parts of it. I look forward to the archive.

[Antiwhippy]

Any idea when the archive is coming?

[vitaminwateryum]

Any idea when the archive is coming?

I think I heard Drew say sometime this weekend, when they were ending the video. No guarantees though.

[Megasoum]

I managed to win a PS3 Walking Dead code from Vinny's QR Code last night... That whole code hunting game all night was super fun lol.

[SteveWinwood]

Drew's thing is up. So glad it was uploaded sooner rather than later. Gonna watch it!

[Dany M]

I liked the drew video. Not as crazy as I thought it would be, but still insane. The streets still amaze me.

[~Kinggi~]

I loved the colorful night shots of the city making it look more modern. Drew is right you dont see images like that.

[LCfiner]

I just finished watching the Drew Korean visit chat. That was a nice piece of content. nice pictures and the conversation was interesting, given the highly guided nature of the tour. plus, bonus traffic cop ladies.

good stuff, giant bomb.

[The Dutch Slayer]

Drew vacation downloaded will watch tomorrow during lunch can't wait! :D

[randomlyrossy]

It's super fascinating, great video.

[sixghost]

I love how the Korean translation of what Drew wrote in the guest book has the exclamation points removed.

[Megasoum]

I love how it's like one line on the board but he kept going on and on with the translation lol. It's like 3 times longer in english haha.

[Darklord]

It's super fascinating, great video.

The way he explains how NK sees things is really amazing. It actually makes sense and you can kinda see why they do things.

There's a documentary there about what seems like the same trip. I find it interesting that if you identify as a "journalist", it's almost impossible to make the trip... while if you identify as a tourist, all you have to do is just contact a tour group and you're in. lol

[shadyspace]

Brad really impressed me with the quality of the questions he was asking Drew. I know Patrick likes to ascribe the label of "journalist" to himself but I think if any of them could hack it as a real world journalist covering political and social issues it would be Brad.

Whenever Brad is on the Tested podcast, I'm always impressed with how knowledgeable he is about most of the non-tech things they discuss.

This video might be the best thing GB has ever produced, totally unexpected.

Yeah, and you can tell Brad gets really excited to talk about the stuff he knows that isn't vidya related.

And he's usually the one who goes "well did you hear about?" when they start talking about off topic stuff.

[nckillthegrimace]

I can't believe he actually went to North Korea. That's crazy.

[Loxley]

That was a great segment. Props to Drew for being very civil about the whole experience, I think it would have been pretty easy for him to be like "Yeah, North Korea is a fucked up place you guys. Look at how weird this shit is." Brad was asking some great questions, and I do have to say I was enjoying Vinny's zingers every now and then, "Did they put on a musical?"

[Lonestar]

Vinny was pretty great.

And Drew didn't get to check out the "Massive Gymnastics/Massive Show" like the guys from Vice did. That still bewilders me, to see 100,000+ people putting on a massive show for a couple hundred people.

[Yaboosh]

I almost feel like Drew went too far in trying to appear unbiased, and went the other way. And laying flowers at the monument to the Kim's is just gross.
