Is the problem purely with my computer or connection? It takes up an unbelievable amount of processing power while stuttering and often grinding to a complete halt. Which is a shame, because it seems like there is interesting content that would be worth experiencing?

It was also taking me a really long time to get through it. What I did see was rather disturbing.

Too much, fills me with unending rage against NK's government and the fat kid with the bad haircut.

A provocative question I saw on Reddit today:

Are North Koreans living in the past or in the future?

I saw the title and thought (hoped?) it was a sequel to Pyongyang Racer, a "game" made entirely in North Korea.

North Korea has never ceased to fascinate me. What intrigues me more is how North Koreans deal with the reality of the rest of the world once they escape the country that imprisoned, starved, and brainwashed them for so long.

I just remember that line O'Brien speaks in 1984 when he says, "The human mind is infinitely malleable." That country is not that novel made real.
