Everyone likes to know about places they can’t go, don’t they? It’s normal curiosity. That’s why kids explore empty houses and caves and wells and stuff, isn’t it? North Korea is one of those places. I know very little about it, apart from that it’s The Evil Half Of Korea. Or so I thought.
Thanks to a random post on a forum I read, I was made aware of this fascinating set of videos. A US journalist gets into the country, and illegally films his time there. Here’s the first part, with the rest on the Vice Magazine site.
I never bought the PS2 version of Okami, but am looking forward to the Wii release on the 13th June (in the UK at least - US gamers have it already, I believe). The whole drawing thing seems to make so much more sense on the Wii. Anyway, here’s a video!
From the press release:
Ōkami tells the story of a mythical sun god who sets out to restore a dismal world, decimating the forces of evil who stand in the way by commanding the elements and mythical abilities the deity possesses. Mixing Japanese folklore and a stunning traditional Japanese art style, players must utilize an inventive control scheme to overcome the challenges and evil that await. By enhancing the unique gameplay, visual style and story line of Ōkami with the control of the Wii Remote, it is sure to be the ultimate version of the game.
I’ve been playing skate. on the Xbox 360 a lot this last couple of weeks, and in the process I’ve been uploading some “sick” videos from it, and transferring them to Google Video. As have lots of other people, it seems. While browsing through them, I came across this (real) skate video. I think the term is “gnarly”, or something.
