Yes, if there is one place known for good flow of uncensored information, it's Russia.

Pravda is an amazing mix or normal news and Weekly World News type stuff.  Sorta like USA Today or FOX.

When Diablo 2 hit.  Myself and one of my roomates sat down at our network systems and played for 36 hours straight.  barely broke to use the bathroom or eat.  We kept seeing people pop in and out of our home lan game as friends stopped in.  Funny thing we barely noticed that they were there until we say their avatars in world.  ;)

I so disagree with that comment.  :P

Bones, you beat me to it. There is nothing at all wrong with a country that can produce Maria Sharapova.

One or two anomalies vs half a billion women that look like Ted Kennedy.

Think about that.

No, there's more. I've seen them.

Apparently though, the video games have flaws.
