A pictures of North Korea Arcade:

A man took these photos inside an amusement arcade in Pyongyang, capital of North Korea. They will make you very, very grateful that your local still has a functioning SEGA Rally and that you are not from or stuck in North Korea.
 They will also stop you from complaining that one of the steering wheels on Daytona USA isn't very responsive any more.
They will stop you complaining about having to wait five minutes for a go on Street Fighter IV.
They will also stop you complaining about having to pay £2 for a go on OutRun2.
They will stop you complaining about the fierce punch button being a bit temperamental.
They will stop you complaining about the state of the decor.

Cannibalism is increasing in North Korea following another poor harvest and a big cut in international food aid, according to refugees who have fled the stricken country.

Aid agencies are alarmed by refugees' reports that children have been killed and corpses cut up by people desperate for food.
