I was just wondering where everyone is from in this here pcenginefx community. :)
I'm a Canuck from Halifax (Dartmouth to be more exact), Nova Scotia. I'm originally from Ottawa, Ontario and also lived out in Whistler, British Columbia for a while. I just finished school...again...and I'm currently looking for professional work, which can be difficult here in Halifax as it's a smaller city of around 350 000 people give or take. If I can't find anything substantial here I'll be making another move, probably within Canada but you never know.
Texas, USA. No more specifics beyond that, except I hate it and want out. :cry:
I'm pimpin' in Omaha, Nebraska.
Peep this thread (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=2647.0) for many other members locales. All y'all need to add yourself to Seldane's map (http://www.buddymapping.com/maps/pce) of who's who if you haven't already. Methinks the map deserves a sticky (hint, hint, nudge, nudge).

Oh cool. :) Yeah, that definitely should be a sticky.
By the way, how do you change the text of a hyperlink here? I can do it on Trekweb, but it has an automatic prompt that allows you to change the text of the link so you don't have this huge hyperlink spread out across the page.
I know it's probably simple simon, but I couldn't find out online how to do it (in my exhaustive 5 minute google search. hehe).
Speaking of Seldane, he ruled, where is he?
Prince George, Virginia.

Follow this form, except replace the brackets ( { } ) with square brackets ( [ ] ). Quote a reply that has one of these to better see what it should look like. :wink:
Thanks necro. :)
Omaha is the Turbo mecca of the midwest.
Clearly, the Midwest Gaming Classic should move here. :)

Still in Sweden, AFAIK. Actually, he's just been busy. He's around.

Cool. Vancouver is beautiful. Maybe not as nice as Halifax, but really nice nonetheless. :P Seriously though, I'd like to move back there again. This time live in the city and not Whistler.

Dude, that's an awesome site.
For shits I found my own intersection and zoomed in real close.
Apparently the images they use for this service are at
least a few years old. There is a lot across the street from my home with a Walgreen's, 7-11, and commercial business complex. The business complex was put in since I've lived here, but the 7-11 and Walgreen's have been there as long as I have (since 2003). The satellite view on those maps shows the 7-11 on the corner but the rest of the lot looks like a dirt/gravel construction zone and a half-built structure where the Walgreen's now stands. So those images are at the very least 4 years old. When I get off work today I'm tempted to go to the Walgreen's and ask what year the building was built so I can get an idea how old these images are. You would think they would update them every so often.
About the bomberman, don't you know?
What I'd like to know is how come we got the link to Winnipeg, Manitoba instead of Sunderland, Ontario: http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Sunderland,+Ontario&ie=UTF8&t=k&z=15&iwloc=addr&om=1

The green arrow is almost pointing on the Rideau Canal, which is now a UNESCO world heritage site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rideau_Canal .
Err... And here's the CISIS HQ (think of it like Canada's CIA): http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Ottawa,+Ottawa,+Ontario,+Canada&sll=44.25491,-79.06609&sspn=0.026742,0.053644&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=0,45.421460,-75.691880&t=k&om=1&ll=45.43618,-75.610292&spn=0.0131,0.026822&z=16
When these types of maps first started to appear, this area was blank. There was/is a city bus route that goes right into the complex! :P

I wondered about that, but figured that it involved Celine Dion, some Mounties, and maple syrup. I just wouldn't be able to understand.

That's pretty cool. We have the Pentagon in the US and Canadians have the Triangle.

Ever watched Scanners? :P
Nope, do you recommend? After a quick search o' the web to see what it's about, it looks like it's getting a remake next year (a.k.a. - Hollywood's out to fuck up another old movie).

You just blew my mind....literally. :P

It's a funny head explosion, but as far as head explosions go, you need to see a movie called Maniac. Dude gets his head blown all over the back of a car with a shotgun. It's freaking sweet! ^___^
Here's a video (warning: this head doesn't explode into Hello Kitty stickers)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=mAcQ_D6Elvg
And yeah, that's Tom Savini as the dude in the car AND the dude who jumps on the hood. I think when he shoots the girl it's back to the other actor though.
QuoteDude gets his head blown all over the back of a car with a shotgun. It's freaking sweet! ^___^
Haha!!! Holy shit!! Brutal!!
Cool that Savini is in it. lol. He's always popping up in weird places. :)
I could have sworn that was "Goblin" playing in the background, but it was Jay Chattaway. :-k

Goblin only makes music for Argento flicks, though.
