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

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.

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.
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?

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

my favorite picture from North Korea
The other pictures like that of people fishing etc are so depressing too.

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

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

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.

It's super fascinating, great video.
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.
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

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.

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