WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.600 Did you know that North Korea made a clone console of the Nintendo Wii? 00:00:03.929 --> 00:00:10.200 [music] And did you know, ladies and gentlemen that we got him? 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:18.960 Wait, what is UNOS? And why is everything in Chinese instead of Korean? 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:20.240 Dancing with the Stars, Frozen, NBA. 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:24.480 Actually, that last one kind of makes sense. But the rest of this is very 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:28.880 confusing. What exactly makes this console North Korean? Are North Korean 00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:33.520 games unique or are they just same same but different? [music] What I know is 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:38.320 unique is the segue to our sponsor, Hetner. Hennner offers GDPR compliant 00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:43.120 higherformance cloud servers which consists of ondemand cloud computing 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:48.480 platforms and APIs on a metered pay as you go basis.

In 2012, British travel company Coro Tours 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:19.920 commissioned Nok Information Technology to make a game to promote their packages 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.479 of tours of the DPRK. The result was a 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:27.040 title called Pyongyang Racer, a flash game that plays a little bit like Crazy 00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:31.360 Taxi if there were no people, no money, and barely any cars on the road. You 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:36.159 basically collect barrels of oil and try not to crash. That's it. That's the 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:41.759 whole game. Pong [snorts] racer time. Let's go. Game rules. Do not hit cars or 00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:47.439 vans. If you hit 10 vehicles, you will be stopped for bad driving. Are you 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:50.880 kidding me? Huh? Am I supposed to be able to tell 00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:54.200 where the people that I'm supposed to pick up are? 00:01:54.240 --> 00:02:00.240 What? If you drive on the grass, you 00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:05.040 immediately die. Okay. What What is this? I collected a barrel of oil. Okay. 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:09.920 What if I hit a car? Are these other cars even moving? Are they just 00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:13.440 stationary on the road? It's like the only purpose of this game is to 00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:17.840 reinforce that you better stay in line or the experience is over. Do you pick 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.920 people up? I don't even understand what's happening right now. Drive 00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:25.920 straight on. Don't stare at me. I'm on duty. Well, where is she? Am I supposed 00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:31.280 to pick her up? I can't even approach a driveway. Is 00:02:28.720 --> 00:02:35.360 that because that building is like a building people are not allowed to go to 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:40.080 or what? Yeah, this is enough weirdness for me. I think I expected to play a lot 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:44.080 more, but I think I'm done here. It's creepy. It's kind of like that footage 00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:48.400 we saw recently of North Korea. There's no traffic lights. There's no other cars 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:54.319 on the road. You're just by yourself in a weird Steepford Wives too perfect 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:56.800 city. Despite what Wikipedia might say, 00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:02.959 that is not the first and last of North Korea or even Noex games. In 2007, they 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.440 were contracted by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp to assist in the production of Java 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:11.680 based flip phone games, The Big Labowski Bowling, and Men in Black Alien Assault. 00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:16.000 They're also rumored to have worked on a Wii game of some sort shortly afterward, 00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:21.040 though we don't know for sure if it was for an actual Nintendo console or if it 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:24.319 was more like this. First up then is 00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:26.720 bowling, which Oh, [music] okay. It's 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:30.720 meant to be oriented this way. When you navigate the menu, [music] there's no 00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:34.000 crowds cheering. This is not your decadent capitalist bowling. Wait, do I 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:39.599 get to Yeah, it's got to go through. It's Everything in this has unskippable cut 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:43.280 scenes. I can't explain why. Got it. We only got one remote working, so 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:47.840 unfortunately Tanner can't join me. Oh, okay. I can be either of these Miis. 00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:52.879 I love the frame rate on everything in this. What is that, like 18 frames per second? 00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:58.959 Oh, if you're lucky. This really is just an outright clone of 00:03:56.959 --> 00:04:04.000 of Wii Bowling, isn't it? [music] Pretty much. Wow. And the physics is just as good, 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:08.560 which is not a compliment. Oh, wow. They give you a zoomed-in view. You basically 00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:10.239 can't miss. So, you know how you say you basically can't miss? 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.400 Yeah. On this next shot, I want you to do something a little different. Okay. 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:19.519 I want you to move your character all the way over to the right, and when you throw the ball, I want you to hook far 00:04:18.479 --> 00:04:22.320 to your left. Okay. Wait, that's as far as I can go. 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.642 Yep. Uh, okay. Now, hook far to the left. [music] 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:32.479 And that's a strike every time. Oh, I win. 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:37.919 This will get you right on your way to the perfect game of 270 points. 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:41.040 Um, [music] you mean 300? Oh, 270. You do not get those extra two 00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:44.320 balls in the 10th frame. Do they not have bowling in North Korea? 00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:48.160 Like, they don't know how the rules work or what? The only place that you can really find 00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:53.360 a lot of video games in North Korea is the bowling alley, ironically. 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.680 Uh, okay. I'm actually a little surprised at how not that bad it is. 00:04:55.840 --> 00:05:01.360 Yeah, a lot of it is. Look at that. It's had that disco 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:06.080 bowling lighting effects and everything. Overall, the games lack maybe a little 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:11.199 bit of polish, but they're not what you would consider to be complete an utter 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:14.000 shovel wear every time. They're getting close, but I want to try the badminton 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.800 game. Yeah, go for it. Okay, this looks like it could be fun. 00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:22.400 Oh, it's really too bad we didn't get the second controller working. Do we 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:26.479 have a second controller, but it just We have a second controller. The dongle 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.800 got lost in my pile of dongles at some point and I think fell off the table. 00:05:28.080 --> 00:05:32.798 Oh, okay. It's really disappointing. [music] 00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:44.479 Okay. The um [music] presses are very much just suggestions. 00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:51.360 Yeah. [music] Why am I hitting it to the back right every time? Stop. 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:54.960 Oh my god. How about anywhere other than there, please? Oh, for the love of all, 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:59.280 it is good. There is no strategy here whatsoever, as far as I can tell. [music] 00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:04.479 That is the case with a lot of these games. If you're dependent on the gyro, 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:09.919 it's going to let you down. This would be exhausting to play. Again, 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:13.199 with a little bit more polish, this could actually be fun. 00:06:11.280 --> 00:06:17.919 Somebody put some work into this. Yeah. I may or may not have used a number of 00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:21.280 work hours playing this. It's fun. It really is. 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:26.560 You tried the badminton one specifically? This was the first game I played because 00:06:23.919 --> 00:06:31.360 it's badminton and I know what company I work for. 00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:34.000 It's actually fun. Whoa. 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:36.080 Okay. It has mouse pointer support in like their fake Wii. 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.840 Yeah, that's actuallyly not bad. And this one doesn't require that you 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:44.800 have I an IR bar. [music] So, cuz it's just purely gyro. 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:51.600 Yeah, exactly. Oh my god, that yoga game. Who is that 00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:53.280 flexible? Where are her hips? The one 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:57.360 leg looks like it's coming out of the other leg. Oh my god. 00:06:56.080 --> 00:07:02.560 Oh, it's really too bad we didn't get the dance mat with this. Yeah, I would 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:04.639 not want to play Twister with her. So, 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:09.680 the only thing we can say for sure is that we don't know for sure what games 00:07:06.960 --> 00:07:13.199 North Koreans have or haven't worked on. Sanctions against the country mean that 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:17.759 services purchased from them are often brokered through middlemen or even 00:07:15.520 --> 00:07:22.560 entire middle companies in places like China or Hong Kong. And in some 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:27.360 industries, these workarounds are a particularly open secret. Pyongyangs 00:07:24.880 --> 00:07:33.919 animation powerhouse Seek Studio has been around since 1957. Is estimated to 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.919 have 900 employees and has worked on 00:07:33.919 --> 00:07:40.800 French animated series like The Ranch, Spain's Cursed Titanic movie, Stan Lee's 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:44.160 Mighty 7, and even The Simpsons movie. They're even rumored to have worked on 00:07:42.479 --> 00:07:49.360 some Disney films like The Lion King, which could explain this scene where the 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.960 dust in the sky appears to spell e K. 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:57.039 Yes, I'm choosing to believe it's a K. If I'm going to have a conspiracy theory, it's going to be the deepest 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:59.759 one. With all of that said, the games on 00:07:57.039 --> 00:08:04.080 this version of this console probably didn't come from North Korea. In the 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.980 initial 2019 news release about the Moren Bong game console posted on this 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:13.039 recently defunct propaganda news outlet, [music] the logo on the front doesn't 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:17.919 quite match up to what we got. That's in Korean. This is in Chinese. Though if 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:22.160 you kind of cross your eyes a little bit and try to make out what the pixels are, 00:08:19.919 --> 00:08:27.840 the Korean seems to roughly match up with the Hungul for Moram Bong. While 00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:32.959 the Chinese logo here reads Xiao Ba Wang, better known outside of China as 00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:38.159 Subor. Oh, I know Subar. That's right. They made that Z plus console that we 00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.519 reviewed back in 2019. And outside of 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:44.560 that, they actually have a fairly storied past. They began producing 00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:48.959 Famicom clones in the early 1990s. And within a few years, they were the most 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:52.720 popular Famicone brand in China and the second most popular in Russia with a 00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:56.959 contract to manufacture Russia's most popular Famicom console, the Dendi. They 00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:03.519 also had a pretty recognizable spokesman, Jackie Chan, who I will be 00:08:59.839 --> 00:09:05.120 channeling in this next segment. Wait, 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:08.640 does it use the camera? It does. Why would it even need that if it's got 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:12.399 a gyro? Well, because it shows you on the screen 00:09:10.800 --> 00:09:15.440 and then you can be in the game. No. Yeah. 00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:22.320 Okay, I guess you don't even need this. But here you go. 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:24.399 This is such a high quality camera. What just [music] happened? 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:30.959 I think we might have accidentally selected something. Um uh 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:35.360 wait. Oh, wait. I don't even need the controller then. No. Oh, okay. 00:09:33.680 --> 00:09:41.560 You You can hit them multiple times, by the way. Oh, really? 00:09:38.160 --> 00:09:41.560 Oh, sick. 00:09:41.839 --> 00:09:46.800 You know, it works surprisingly okayish. 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:53.200 Yeah. Now, imagine if the camera were better on this. Yeah. If it wasn't like 15 frames per 00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:57.040 second. That's actually kind of a cool game. It's like if the Connect was a 00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:02.480 piece of As opposed to what? 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:07.200 Got him. This would actually be really fun with a competitive mode. Like I I 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:10.160 would I would play this I'd play this with my kids. [music] Oh, that's 00:10:08.800 --> 00:10:13.839 interesting. If you look closely at the oranges, you can actually see where the 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:18.240 model is glued together. Oh, yeah. Look at that. [laughter] 00:10:16.640 --> 00:10:25.040 Oh, actually that one too. It looks I think we can see it on all of them. So, yeah, three sections on each one. 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:28.800 Okay, we lost. Coming back to Subor's role in all of this. It's not the logo 00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:33.120 on the front that makes a console. It's the software. And Subar has their hands 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:37.600 in that as well. Have you ever used one of those consoles with the 501 game 00:10:35.839 --> 00:10:42.480 cartridges only to discover that they're filled with weird dmakes, resp-rites, or 00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:46.959 sequels to games that have no business existing? [music] Well, that probably came from Subor's 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:52.720 frequent collaborator and possible parent company, Wing. Since 1993, Wing 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:58.079 Science and Technology Company has produced such legally dubious titles as 00:10:55.040 --> 00:11:00.240 Super Contra 7, Tunnel Warfare, and 00:10:58.079 --> 00:11:04.079 Pokemon Goldish. A fun fact, by the way, in 2001, they 00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:11.200 were involved in a copyright infringement lawsuit [music] as the plaintiff [snorts] and won. Oh, 00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:15.839 China, you so silly. [music] Anyway, sometime in the late 2000s, they ditched 00:11:13.680 --> 00:11:21.279 the Famicom to focus primarily on making games for Subor's various Wii clones. 00:11:18.880 --> 00:11:25.240 What exactly are these Wii clones? LTD Screwdriver, drum roll, please. 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:35.200 Wow. And congratulations. If you guessed old 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:39.200 Android TV box with a camera, you win. The circuit board printing suggests it 00:11:36.880 --> 00:11:44.880 was manufactured in May of 2014. It uses a rock chip processor, 512 megs of RAM, 00:11:42.160 --> 00:11:50.480 8 gigs of storage, and well, it's about as simple as any old Android TV [music] 00:11:46.959 --> 00:11:52.560 box. And like most Android TV boxes, it 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:57.760 runs Android, or at least sort of it does. Yun OS was the original name for 00:11:54.959 --> 00:12:02.959 Alios, Alibaba's version of Android. And as for the games, well, why don't we try 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:07.839 comparing some Wing titles to the games that eventually found their way into 00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:09.680 North Korea. This game is interesting. Okay, 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:15.600 this is the correct version of table tennis that we want. This red court is 00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:21.839 seen in one of the ads that was posted to Ari Rangi for the North Korean Wii. 00:12:19.040 --> 00:12:26.160 So, this is a game that would have theoretically gone to North Korea. 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:33.040 Uh, it's a tutorial right off the bat. Everything is unskippable. 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:38.720 That controller is not the same as my controller. They did have a couple Oh, wa. 00:12:36.079 --> 00:12:41.120 That's a Wii controller with one button. No, no, that's not a Wii controller. 00:12:40.079 --> 00:12:47.200 There's still four buttons down the bottom. Yeah. So, it's somewhere in between cuz 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:52.240 it's got the D-pad markings on it, but it's only got a single button here. So, 00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:56.880 it could be that that is an early mockup or it could be one of the varieties of 00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:58.959 this that Subor released because they did have a number of them 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:04.959 on the market. Oh, I'm sorry. Are you I'm good. 00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:09.360 Get in the game. Sorry. It's a skill issue. 00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:14.959 So, basically all this thing has in it is just an accelerometer and like no 00:13:12.079 --> 00:13:22.079 gyro, I guess. Just are you moving it? Great. Okay. and only the game, the 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:24.720 actual device does. This is essentially 00:13:22.079 --> 00:13:28.399 an air mouse. You can take the dongle from this and 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:32.480 plug it into a computer and it will be detected as a standard HID device. You 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:36.959 can immediately start using it as an air mouse. So, if you wanted to use this 00:13:34.560 --> 00:13:42.160 with a Wii emulator, you absolutely could. Oh, that's super cool. There's 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:46.560 concrete evidence then that Wing made at least some of the games that were 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:52.000 promoted in advertisements for our North Korean Wii here. Table tennis for sure 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:56.639 is a match. The rest are not so clear. This next image appears to show some 00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:58.480 kind of running game on a mat. We're not 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:02.560 sure which one or if it's a real game at all. We do know Subor did sell several 00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:06.560 dance mats that pair with their Wii clones from a company called Blavore, 00:14:04.880 --> 00:14:10.880 but this looks less like a game peripheral and more like a solar panel 00:14:08.959 --> 00:14:15.519 on the floor, which kind of checks out given what Blavor is up to these days. 00:14:12.959 --> 00:14:19.920 Um, it is possible though that it's real and it was just designed so simply to 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:23.120 allow for assembly within a North Korean factory, something that Pyongyang has 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:28.320 been doing with Android phones for over a decade. The final image from Aryang 00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:32.160 Mirie is maybe the most ambiguous but also the most interesting. It 00:14:30.079 --> 00:14:36.480 prominently announces educational kids games with a number of examples. And of 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:41.440 the 20 pixels that are not obscured by the watermark, we can make out two big 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:42.800 clues. The first is this raccoon dog 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:49.600 looking character that appears to be interacting with a piece of paper on the ground. This is likely Neoi, the main 00:14:47.199 --> 00:14:53.920 character of Clever Raccoon Dog, one of North Korea's most popular cartoons. If 00:14:52.079 --> 00:14:57.440 this were a device solely made for children, Clever Raccoon Dog might be 00:14:55.920 --> 00:15:01.839 the extent of the local cartoon properties used. But Two Space is over, 00:14:59.839 --> 00:15:06.320 we can see what very much looks like the lead character of the much more dark and 00:15:03.920 --> 00:15:10.880 gritty series, The Boy General. North Korea has three very popular cartoons in 00:15:08.880 --> 00:15:14.480 its history. And if two out of three are featured, it's a safe assumption that 00:15:12.880 --> 00:15:19.360 there were plans for a game based around the dark, gritty war drama Squirrel and 00:15:16.959 --> 00:15:23.279 Hedgehog. Top of a few murky details about a Squirrel and Hedgehog mobile 00:15:20.880 --> 00:15:28.160 game from 2018 called Brave Soldier, there have been some photos posted to 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:32.240 the Fandom Wiki depicting gameplay and pitch meetings for a rail gun shooter 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:36.480 arcade game supposedly for use in the Golden Lane bowling alley attached to 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:41.440 the Yangakto Hotel, the primary hotel that foreign tourists tend to get placed 00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:45.120 in. But why make a one-off arcade machine of your most popular series only 00:15:43.760 --> 00:15:50.720 to show it to foreigners who might confuse it for a Sonic the Hedgehog knockoff? Which, by the way, it isn't. 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.560 In fact, Squirrel and Hedgehog predates Sonic by well over a decade. A fact that 00:15:53.120 --> 00:16:00.079 makes more sense when you have the context of North Korea's media industry. 00:15:56.959 --> 00:16:02.800 Between the late 1960s and the 1980s, 00:16:00.079 --> 00:16:06.959 Kim Jong-'s first major role in the DPRK government was creating film and 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:11.199 television for use as propaganda. He famously kidnapped South Korean actress 00:16:08.959 --> 00:16:15.920 Cho Yunhi and her husband, director Shinsang O for eight years in order to 00:16:14.079 --> 00:16:20.079 make this happen. But when he wasn't using human trafficking victims to make 00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:24.399 anti-Japanese shame pieces, he pushed for a variety of cartoons to be created, 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:29.120 almost all of them involving talking animals, making Kim Jong ill, 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:32.320 effectively then history's most despotic furry. 00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:36.000 In the years following his death, production of these cartoons slowed 00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:39.680 significantly. Where they used to produce one to two episodes a year, 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:42.880 Squirlland Hedgehog hasn't seen a new episode enter production since Kim 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:46.880 Jong-'s death. And there's been virtually no new or continued 00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:50.480 productions of Seek Properties in that time. As far as we know, the only 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:54.480 exception to this seems to have been Kim Jong-un's favorite show, The Boy 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:58.639 General, which got a reboot in 2015, nearly 20 years after originally going 00:16:56.560 --> 00:17:03.279 off the air. The reboot lasted 50 episodes and concluded in 2019, right 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:07.706 around the time this Wii clone was announced. See, we got there eventually. 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:13.120 Let's try another game. All right, [snorts] there were a couple other ones that caught my eye. I thought I saw a 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:17.439 curling game. Yep. Let's see if there's actual differences in how hard you go, 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:23.120 cuz this would be the first game that managed to like That's not a bad little 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:27.919 like village thing they made. If this were paired with wonderful gameplay, all 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:31.760 of this would be easily forgiven. I noticed the word if there. 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:36.400 Every one of these games has a little caveat to it. [music] Okay. All right. 00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:42.000 Part of the journey of discovery. All right. Okay. So, I hold the D 00:17:39.802 --> 00:17:46.480 [music] button. Short. 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:50.240 What just happened? Uh, push push. Do that. 00:17:49.120 --> 00:17:56.080 And now it's going to go all the way down. You can actually see on the right side. That's going to tell you how far 00:17:53.600 --> 00:18:00.799 that shot is going to go. And if you wave back and forth, it's it'll sweep. 00:17:58.080 --> 00:18:03.840 And normally that will actually uh fill up a little bit more. 00:18:01.840 --> 00:18:07.200 Oh, I see. Okay. I haven't figured out how to get it to 00:18:05.840 --> 00:18:10.960 properly curl. Yeah. But I know that you can at least go over 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:15.760 to this left and right like you would in bowling. Okay. Well, that was a bad shot. 00:18:14.320 --> 00:18:19.919 Like I put it right on the button. No. No. They're going to completely miss 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:24.400 just like me. Okay. Well, hey, at least we both suck. See it filling up. Filling 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.919 up. Push forward. I overshot it again, didn't I? Damn it. 00:18:26.320 --> 00:18:32.202 Hey, you're still in the area. You can't tell from the physics at all. 00:18:30.320 --> 00:18:37.840 Like, it's it's not slowing down, dude. [music] It just moves at a constant rate. Like, 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:42.480 that looks like I keep thinking, oh, it's almost slowed down. Oh, wow. It 00:18:39.760 --> 00:18:46.799 just lands exactly where you get it. See, I thought it'd be like Wii Golf 00:18:44.080 --> 00:18:51.520 where it like goes to there, but then there's some fudge factor, but no, it's 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:55.679 just just press it right when the thing. All we've got is four more minutes left. 00:18:53.600 --> 00:18:59.120 Why don't we get out of this game? And I believe it's I believe it's darts. I I 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:04.240 want to show you darts. Unskippable cut scene. 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:07.760 Okay, now hold on just to gosh darn. Oh. Oh, okay. So you just So you just 00:19:06.263 --> 00:19:11.000 [music] have to get it in the right spot and then 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:18.000 What just happened? Well, there's gravity. So you're aiming. 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:23.160 What's the point of the freaking target then? Well, I don't know there then. 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:29.520 That was actually really close. Yeah, that that was much closer than I got it yesterday. 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:34.039 And then it Well, it leaves my thing in the same spot. So theoretically, I could 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:34.039 just 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:40.960 What was that? Too hard, dude. 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:43.600 Not cool. It It gets more frustrating, though, because you're playing 500, 00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:49.760 right? [music] Yeah. And even if you get the exact correct 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:54.000 amount of points, it'll still tell you you're wrong. I could not get this game 00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:57.679 to finish. Coming back to our wordy history lesson 00:19:55.840 --> 00:20:01.760 that I assure you does have a point. In January 2020, all the borders of North 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.480 Korea closed. And in the past four years, no one has legally come in or 00:20:04.080 --> 00:20:09.840 out, not even Dennis Rodman. The US Treasury has begun imposing sanctions on 00:20:08.320 --> 00:20:14.480 companies found to be working with North Korea, even for animation. And at the 00:20:12.080 --> 00:20:18.480 start of 2024, Kim Jong-un began shutting down radio stations, TV 00:20:16.320 --> 00:20:22.720 broadcasts, and websites that served as a link between the DPRK and the rest of 00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:26.559 the world. He made the unprecedented statement that a unified Korea would be 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:31.200 impossible. So whether the North Korean version of this console ever got made or 00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:35.280 whether our title is total clickbait may never be known. Instead, with 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:39.520 willingness to outsource IT work to North Korea at an all-time low, it 00:20:37.280 --> 00:20:44.640 appears that whatever sector workers might have worked on this or in the past 00:20:41.919 --> 00:20:48.559 worked on white hat IT services have shifted to botnet creation and 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:53.440 ransomware attacks on hospitals for Bitcoin. As for Subor, unfortunately 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:57.840 both they and Wing seem to have succumbed to the pandemic. Subor is 00:20:55.760 --> 00:21:01.840 adamant that they are not dead yet, but Wing's website is essentially gone with 00:21:00.080 --> 00:21:06.400 only a file server remaining that hosts all of their software dated up until 00:21:03.760 --> 00:21:10.159 2016 and a bunch of ROMs. If you guys enjoyed this video, why not check out 00:21:07.840 --> 00:21:15.919 the AllChina PC where we briefly look at how Corsair power supplies keep ending 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:15.919 up in [music] North Korea.
