The Homefront viral continues to pummel the Destructoid HQ mailbox. This time, we were given a look at Korea's plans to poison the Mississippi River with radioactive materials. Oh noes!
The cool thing about all this was that the documents were sent to us in Korean. I was getting ready to scan all of the documents with the intent on leaving it up to the Internet to decipher the message when I realized that the pen that came with the envelope was abnormally large. So I took apart the pen to find a hidden USB drive inside. Neat!
The pen drive contained an English version of the document as you can see in the gallery.
Loving the viral stuff, THQ. I'm looking more and more forward to the game. Check out our interviews from E3 for more on Homefront.

He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Its like hearing about how Somali suddenly took over a huge chunk of the world.

Hardly, they are a military and economic joke. Iran at least has semi modern weaponry, a steady economic supply due to it's oil reserves and a fairly large army. I agree with Volomon, this games plot alone turns me off as another b.s redneck war fantasy of fighting the axis of evil. American military and economic might cannot be challenged by North Korea, Taiwan could defeat it and yes China would definitely step in and put it's "little brother" in its place if it got out of line.
Yeah because the premise of games have to be based on reality. Its Suspension of Disbelief, sure North Korea is a laughing stock....but this is a game and a 'What if' scenario.
On the topic of this viral stuff...its some of the most fucked up stuff i've read...keep it coming THQ
