You kidding me? Despite all the dangers I'd kill to spend a day or two wandering around that area... thanks for the video that was amazing.

Anyone remember that woman who went into Chernobyl on her Kawasaki Ninja? Was quite a big internet sensation four or five years ago. Worth a google!

It's a bit of a long read but well worth it IMO.

Each time I pass into the zone, I feel that I have entered an unreal world. In the dead zone, the silence of the villages, roads, and woods seem to tell something at me....something that I strain to hear....something that attracts and repels me both at the same time. It is divinely eerie - like stepping into that Salvador Dali painting with the dripping clocks.

embedded version from the person who actually filmed it:



been to the Salton Sea and its town, really creepy and full of history, but not as scary as it seems, really surreal

Isn't that a crazy phenomenon? Eery feeling going somewhere, and recognizing it, in minute detail, because you've been there in a video game. Should be a german name for the experience.

German poetry must look like an epileptic with a handful of scrabble tiles and sound like someone puking their arsehole up.

Thinking more along the lines of schadenfreude. Such a fucked up and nuanced word. Seems like they'd be capable of coming up with something for the video game simulacrum experience.
