I live about half an hour's drive away from Seattle. Pretty lucky, 'cause I'm going into game design, and Seattle is the gaming capital of North America, and one of the gaming capitals of the world. I'm guessing that the other ones would be Tokyo and some major city in western Europe. Probably Paris or Berlin.
Thought I'd bump this to further confirm how alone I probably am in Kansas? Haha. I searched around and either came upon the band, or some weird horror stories about others moving away from Kansas.
I'm in the Lenexa/Overland Park area, so it's where some civilization is and next door to Missouri. But still, bit of a deadzone out here. Any others?
