They really can't do anything right in North Korea.

Up ahead on the road is a car driven by Dear Leader, but you can never, ever catch up to it, much less pass it.

I'm not sure I want the answer to that. It'd be too depressing any which way.

That's not true. They're pretty good at half-building massive hotels.

I rectified that very mistake not too long ago. What a gloriously awful film.

Rules of Pyongyang Racer:

- Make forward progress for Dear Leader.
- Have fun knowing for the first and only time what it is like to drive a car.
- You insert grains of rice in the coin slot, you die.
- You stare at educational woman, you die.
- You beat Dear Leader's high score, you get to pilot the next North Korean "satellite" to be launched into space. I hope you're good at pedaling and breathing vacuum.

Was thinking the same thing. Treat as suspected foreign malware.

Only install in a stand-alone machine away from any network connection, and only install from a non-Admin login, then completely wipe the drive afterwards.
